This dedicated media room was designed as a personal retreat — a space set apart from the main living areas where the homeowner can relax, unwind, and enjoy time alone or with close friends. Custom built-ins provide integrated storage and display, while the stone accent wall anchors the room and adds depth and character. Carefully controlled lighting and darker wall tones create a comfortable, immersive atmosphere ideal for watching movies, sporting events, or simply settling in at the end of the day. Thoughtful acoustic planning and a focused layout ensure the room feels intentional and comfortable rather than oversized or cavernous. Designed to reflect the homeowner’s interests while maintaining a cohesive, high-end feel, this space shows how custom design can create rooms that feel personal, purposeful, and timeless.

This basement remodel was designed to transform an underutilized lower level into a bright, welcoming space for relaxing and entertaining. The goal was to create an open layout that feels connected and comfortable while offering multiple areas for gathering. A custom built-in media wall anchors the main living area, providing both storage and a clean focal point for the room. Recessed lighting and tray ceiling details help define the space while keeping the overall feel open and inviting. Neutral tones and soft carpeting were selected to create warmth and continuity throughout the basement. The project also includes a custom bar area designed for entertaining, featuring warm wood cabinetry, a spacious countertop, and seating that encourages conversation and connection. Across the space, a textured stone accent wall adds visual interest and depth, balancing the modern finishes with natural materials. Additional features include integrated shelving, concealed storage, and thoughtfully designed transitions between spaces to maintain flow throughout the basement. The result is a multifunctional lower level that feels just as finished and intentional as the rest of the home—perfect for hosting guests, enjoying movie nights, or simply spending time together as a family.

Tucked into the quiet suburbs of Edmonds, this three-story townhouse got a warm, minimal refresh for a young couple settling into their first home together. We focused on the living and small dining area, spaces they use daily, to create a grounded and cozy atmosphere that still feels modern and uncluttered. Rooted in both Japanese and Scandinavian influences, the design blends soft neutrals, warm oak tones, and bold black accents to create contrast without feeling stark. The slatted wood feature wall adds texture and a natural rhythm, while clean-lined furniture, tonal layering, and sculptural decor bring in depth and warmth. It is a space that feels calm and intentional, with the kind of understated comfort that invites you to slow down. Simple, earthy, and personal—designed for quiet evenings and everyday ease.

A close-up detail highlighting furniture-style cabinetry elevated on a custom leg and shaped kick, subtly lifting the millwork from the floor. This refined detail references traditional furniture construction while maintaining clean lines and modern proportion. The result is cabinetry that feels intentional and crafted, reinforcing the Modern Heritage approach where heritage cues are carefully edited through a contemporary lens.

This previously small and under-utilized hall bathroom presented several design challenges. Maximizing storage and creating a big feeling with limited square footage was priority. It was also imperative that the end result be bright yet warm, durable and easy to maintain while achieving a sleek contemporary look. The solution was multifold. The fixture layout was rearranged to maximize function. European frameless cabinetry with large drawers was used to maximize storage. A larger medicine cabinet was custom designed and placed on an angle to give maximum storage above the vanity. Warmth was brought into the space with the charcoal wood grain patterned floor tile and Rift White Oak horizontal grain cabinetry. A soft blue grey hue was chosen for the walls and a new 5 lite door, bringing serenity and peace to the space. Updated LED recessed lights bounce off the Porcelonosa wall tile and highlight the subtle stripe detail. The old light bar was replaced with sleek wall sconces providing more flattering light both outward for the user and down to the counter to illuminate items gracing the surface. Special details such as the stone wrapped vanity were achieved through acute intention by the designer and skillful execution by fine local craftsman. Dekton was used as the wrap and is a striking and unexpected detail creating abundant simplicity and modern elegance while providing a durable and easy to maintain surface. The mirror was inset flush with the surrounding Porcelanosa wall tile and its edges align perfectly with the lines of the tile. Wall to wall Euro glass sliding shower doors maximize the spacious feeling and slide seamlessly on a brushed nickel mechanical rail system.

This stand-alone condominium blends traditional styles with modern farmhouse exterior features. Blurring the lines between condominium and home, the details are where this custom design stands out; from custom trim to beautiful ceiling treatments and careful consideration for how the spaces interact. The exterior of the home is detailed with white horizontal siding, vinyl board and batten, black windows, black asphalt shingles and accent metal roofing. Our design intent behind these stand-alone condominiums is to bring the maintenance free lifestyle with a space that feels like your own.

Klopf Architecture and Outer space Landscape Architects designed a new warm, modern, open, indoor-outdoor home in Los Altos, California. Inspired by mid-century modern homes but looking for something completely new and custom, the owners, a couple with two children, bought an older ranch style home with the intention of replacing it. Created on a grid, the house is designed to be at rest with differentiated spaces for activities; living, playing, cooking, dining and a piano space. The low-sloping gable roof over the great room brings a grand feeling to the space. The clerestory windows at the high sloping roof make the grand space light and airy. Upon entering the house, an open atrium entry in the middle of the house provides light and nature to the great room. The Heath tile wall at the back of the atrium blocks direct view of the rear yard from the entry door for privacy. The bedrooms, bathrooms, play room and the sitting room are under flat wing-like roofs that balance on either side of the low sloping gable roof of the main space. Large sliding glass panels and pocketing glass doors foster openness to the front and back yards. In the front there is a fenced-in play space connected to the play room, creating an indoor-outdoor play space that could change in use over the years. The play room can also be closed off from the great room with a large pocketing door. In the rear, everything opens up to a deck overlooking a pool where the family can come together outdoors. Wood siding travels from exterior to interior, accentuating the indoor-outdoor nature of the house. Where the exterior siding doesn’t come inside, a palette of white oak floors, white walls, walnut cabinetry, and dark window frames ties all the spaces together to create a uniform feeling and flow throughout the house. The custom cabinetry matches the minimal joinery of the rest of the house, a trim-less, minimal appearance. Wood siding was mitered in the corners, including where siding meets the interior drywall. Wall materials were held up off the floor with a minimal reveal. This tight detailing gives a sense of cleanliness to the house. The garage door of the house is completely flush and of the same material as the garage wall, de-emphasizing the garage door and making the street presentation of the house kinder to the neighborhood. The house is akin to a custom, modern-day Eichler home in many ways. Inspired by mid-century modern homes with today’s materials, approaches, standards, and technologies. The goals were to create an indoor-outdoor home that was energy-efficient, light and flexible for young children to grow. This 3,000 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom new house is located in Los Altos in the heart of the Silicon Valley. Klopf Architecture Project Team: John Klopf, AIA, and Chuang-Ming Liu

Guest bedroom from Studio Thomas Project No. 022, designed to feel calm, welcoming, and quietly refined. A four-poster bed anchors the room with clean architectural lines, while layered neutral bedding introduces softness and comfort. Warm wood nightstands and ceramic lamps bring balance to the darker wood tones throughout the space, creating a palette that feels grounded and relaxed. Nearby, a small writing desk paired with a cane-back chair provides a thoughtful place to sit, read, or work during a stay. The mix of natural materials—wood, woven cane, soft textiles, and leather—adds subtle texture while keeping the room understated. The result is a guest retreat that reflects Studio Thomas’s approach to luxury residential interiors: spaces that feel intentional, comfortable, and effortlessly timeless.
