This sunroom was designed to be a cozy, multi-functional retreat for my clients—filled with natural light and layered textures.
We brought in shiplap ceilings with wood beams, reeded paneling over the custom fireplace mantel, and handmade Moroccan tile for a truly custom touch. The sofa bed makes it perfect for family visits, while bamboo woven shades block out light for sleep. The coffee table on casters rolls easily to make space when the bed is open.
Details matter—like the jute rug, rattan-shaded floor lamps, sculptural chandeliers, and colorful ottomans that all add warmth and character. The swivel chairs make conversation easy, and the built-in window seats on each side of the fireplace are the ultimate spots to curl up with a book and coffee.
We pulled in a rich green tone that reflects the views outside, creating harmony between indoors and nature.

Wanting to get as close to net- zero as possible, our clients came to us with a desire to create a home that would accommodate their growing family while walking lighter on the earth and living in a healthier home. A collaborative process with the clients, architect and Meadowlark resulted in a stunning energy-efficient home that seamlessly melds with the aesthetic of the classic Ann Arbor neighborhood where it’s situated.

Over the Merrimack River and Through the Woods
Set back from the road in a picturesque plush green setting flanked by towering 90’ pine trees with seasonal views of the Merrimack River, this 1960’s home was an ideal location to support this amazing kitchen transformation. The privacy, views, peaceful environment and very little traffic provides this family with the lifestyle they’ve grown to love and therefore decided was well worth the investment. Thoughtful space-planning solutions, creative layout and focus on function produced this aesthetically pleasing and sensible design. The homeowners are enjoying their updated, cozy space as if it was there all along.
