Wood light boxes and countertops stand against dark mosaic wall tile in the powder room. The blackened steel of the stair rails and risers is offset by wood treads and balconies.

The kitchen juxtaposes luxurious paneled and glazed cabinets against a backdrop of rustic timber framing, weathered wide plank oak floors, and handmade-brick infill. The entirely brand new construction has the appeal of a perfect contemporary renovation to a 400-year-old French Normandy manor house accented by an antique iron backsplash and a custom metalwork range hood concealing a modern exhaust.

We were asked to add a small sunroom off a beautiful 1960's living room. Our approach was to continue the lines of the living room out into the landscape. Opening up and glazing the walls on either side of the fireplace gave more presence to the Dale Chihuly piece mounted above while visually connecting to the garden and the new addition.

This striking kitchen continues the Lincoln Park home's design language of sculptural minimalism and architectural clarity. Defined by long, uninterrupted sightlines and a bold palette of high contrast, the space celebrates geometry in motion—from the linear cabinetry to the monolithic waterfall island, to the bold, opaque glass pantry door that doubles as a design statement. The custom cabinetry wall integrates seamlessly into the architecture, concealing high-performance appliances while preserving the flow of the space. Opposite, a floating staircase grounds the layout while introducing a play of lines and levels. Every element is intentional—functional, but also beautiful enough to disappear when not in use. With its clean floor plan, strong contrasts, and quiet luxury, this kitchen is a refined backdrop for daily rituals. It evokes calm, control, and confidence—proof that modern design can be deeply personal and powerfully understated.

This Brookline remodel took a very compartmentalized floor plan with hallway, separate living room, dining room, kitchen, and 3-season porch, and transformed it into one open living space with cathedral ceilings and lots of light. photos: Abby Woodman

Modern family loft renovation. A young couple starting a family in the city purchased this two story loft in Boston's South End. Built in the 1990's, the loft was ready for updates. ZED transformed the space, creating a fresh new look and greatly increasing its functionality to accommodate an expanding family within an urban setting.
