Linda Nielsen of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Millsboro, DE, collaborated with Damion Richards to design a stunning modern style inspired kitchen design that highlights cabinets from both Merillat Masterpiece and Merillat Classic. The perimeter cabinets are designed in Merillat Masterpiece in the Epic door style with a Harbor Blue finish. The perimeter cabinets feature Merillat Classic in the Linielle door style with a Whisper finish. Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold is used for the kitchen countertops. “We were thrilled with all our selections from Reico, but my favorite part of it all are the kitchen cabinets. Linda Nielsen was instrumental in the design process and great to work with," said the client. According to Linda, "Working together with the clients was very rewarding and fun. They were very involved and excited about their project. Despite the unique space limitations, we prioritized both function and aesthetics, transitioning from a traditional style to a sleek modern look. The Linielle door, with its unique textured slab door, combined with the Epic door in Harbor Blue was just the right complement. Stacking the perimeter cabinets added vertical interest to the kitchen and drew the eye upward. Listening to their needs made all the difference." Photos courtesy of Dan Williams Photography.

For this Chelsea loft, we sought to engage the space's clean, spare lines with several pieces of custom furniture. Materials were selected for their sustainability, durability, and beauty. A steel and rift oak sideboard complements a 14-foot dining table and bench crafted from whole planks of white oak. Steel and rift oak also create a series of custom storage units in the home office.

A tea pot, being a vessel, is defined by the space it contains, it is not the tea pot that is important, but the space. Crispin Sartwell Located on a lake outside of Milwaukee, the Vessel House is the culmination of an intense 5 year collaboration with our client and multiple local craftsmen focused on the creation of a modern analogue to the Usonian Home. As with most residential work, this home is a direct reflection of it’s owner, a highly educated art collector with a passion for music, fine furniture, and architecture. His interest in authenticity drove the material selections such as masonry, copper, and white oak, as well as the need for traditional methods of construction. The initial diagram of the house involved a collection of embedded walls that emerge from the site and create spaces between them, which are covered with a series of floating rooves. The windows provide natural light on three sides of the house as a band of clerestories, transforming to a floor to ceiling ribbon of glass on the lakeside. The Vessel House functions as a gallery for the owner’s art, motorcycles, Tiffany lamps, and vintage musical instruments – offering spaces to exhibit, store, and listen. These gallery nodes overlap with the typical house program of kitchen, dining, living, and bedroom, creating dynamic zones of transition and rooms that serve dual purposes allowing guests to relax in a museum setting. Through it’s materiality, connection to nature, and open planning, the Vessel House continues many of the Usonian principles Wright advocated for.
