Easy-to-maintain finishes for a busy household. Leret Apartment, a 3,000 SF modern renovation on the Upper West Side, New York, by Domo Architecture.
Inspiration for a modern bathroom remodel in New York

Worn Light is a Solana Beach family home reimagined for real life. With kids in junior high and high school, our clients wanted a better layout, a pool, and spaces that could keep up with an active household. They loved their community but not the housing options—so they chose to stay put and transform the home they already had.

Angled shot showing the symmetrical dual-sink layout of the floating vanity, optimized for shared morning grooming use for two people. Suspended cabinet design eliminates floor dead corners for easy mopping and moisture prevention, matching the moisture-resistant requirements of Japanese household bathrooms. Textured stone accent wall adds layered tactile detail to plain wall space, balancing minimalist simplicity and decorative sophistication for this residential bathroom renovation project.

This inviting hall bath offers the perfect blend of warmth and tranquility. A natural wood vanity adds texture and character, while soft, calming colors create a peaceful atmosphere ideal for everyday use. The double sinks provide functionality for a busy household without sacrificing style. Thoughtful design details and a balanced palette make this space feel open, fresh, and effortlessly refined — a timeless bath that’s as beautiful as it is practical.

Worn Light is a Solana Beach family home reimagined for real life.

This renovation was completed with the primary goal of removed the carpet in the stairs which was not only difficult to clean but constantly looking worn in this very busy household. Ideally they wanted a durable, low maintenance flooring solution that still added character and coziness. The solution: Luxury vinyl planks! The unique and discreet metal nosings we used respect the clean lines and richness of this amazing plank in a non-commercial way. NOTE: While not all vinyl planks are created equal - the good ones are worth paying a little extra for!

This small condo's storage woes include no hall closet. The solution is to turn an empty vestibule into a multi-functional custom-built storage area that contains wine storage; display shelves; a make up area; shoe and boot storage; and a space for coats and small household appliances.

This casita was transformed from basic “vanilla” to a warm, rich, casually elegant home that reflected the personality of the clients and the style of the architecture. Given a lack of natural light, the new color scheme became rich cream and golden nougat tones, uniting the rooms to make a small home feel spacious. The walls were retextured to a smooth finish and were painted in an environmentally friendly lime wash paint, adding softness to the rooms. The cabinets were refinished, changed from basic white to a painted, stained wood finish. The scope of the project was comprehensive: remodeling and providing all new finishes, lighting, plumbing, furniture, window coverings, art work, accessories, plants, household items, kitchen ware, dishes, glassware, flatware, bedding, linens: a home ready to live in and to enjoy for years to come.
