This recently built Bethesda home features two distinctive staircases that share a cohesive design language. The main staircase pairs natural wood treads with sleek steel horizontal rods, creating clean lines. The black wood newels and handrail create striking contrast with the lighter details.
A custom spiral staircase echoes this aesthetic with jet-black metal triangular frames supporting natural wood treads. The geometric structure winds upward, maintaining the same material palette of warm wood and dark metal found throughout the home's vertical connections.

Scabos Gold travertine, distinguished by its dense warm ground threaded with amber and charcoal veining, achieves a particular architectural gravity in this warm minimalist powder room. The horizontally stepped and ribbed exterior of this freestanding obelisk sink creates a rhythmic interplay of shadow and surface under ambient light. The expertly honed, partially filled voids inherent to the travertine matrix animate the stone's surface, perfectly complementing the floor-mount brass faucet and textured plaster walls.

A continuous white work surface offers additional space for organizing groceries, preparing beverages, or staging items before entertaining.
The glossy gray tile backsplash introduces subtle texture and dimension, complemented by classic crown molding and a soft neutral palette. Thoughtfully designed to maximize every corner, this luxury pantry transforms practical storage into a polished and cohesive part of the home.

This renovation focused on turning the staircase and surrounding living space into distinctive architectural features. The original stair was reimagined with light wood treads, a sculpted curved plaster wall, and a custom wood handrail with integrated LED lighting and brass mounting hardware.
The same soft, organic design language continues throughout the home with rounded openings, tall open spaces, warm wood flooring, and carefully placed architectural lighting. A custom textured plaster media wall was also created with curved edges, a recessed TV area, integrated lower bench, and accent lighting.
The finished design combines craftsmanship, modern simplicity, natural materials, and subtle lighting to create a warm contemporary interior with custom details throughout.

Architectural pure-form view of the Scabos Gold Travertine Square Pedestal Sink.

This unstyled, pure white background visual serves as a direct technical reference for minimalist and brutalist specifications.

This detached shop carries the same design language as a main residence, treating a utilitarian building as an architectural opportunity. A single-slope (shed) roof with a slim black metal edge and minimal overhang gives the massing a clean, directional profile and sheds snow toward the low side. The exterior combines two orientations of cedar siding—vertical boards on the upper volume and horizontal lap below—creating subtle texture and a clear datum across the façade. Black-framed windows in varied proportions, from full-height glazing to a small square clerestory, bring daylight into the shop interior and frame the surrounding forest. A covered entry is carried on black steel posts set on raised bases, defining a sheltered threshold and a wood-decked landing at the door. The restrained palette of cedar, black trim, and glass reads as crisp and durable—an outbuilding designed to feel intentional rather than incidental, well suited to a four-season climate.

While this design is technically a duplex, it has the feeling of two separate houses: both follow the same design language but each frontage is distinct, as opposed to the more common mirror-image duplex design. In turn, this orientation gives each home its own unique floorplan, maximising privacy, ventilation and natural daylight.
Upon entering, one is drawn by the light down the long hall to the garden which lights up the ground floor. Your eye is also attracted to the shapes and lines created by the contemporary stairway. Meals with family and friends are a priority for this client and each home has all 4 bedrooms upstairs, with the ground floor dedicated to open-plan living. This unrestricted space further promotes the light and airy atmosphere.
The street-corner duplex has at the back a large garage that faces the house and is fully open to the courtyard garden – this space doubles as a substantial undercover entertaining area. The other house also has guests spilling outside, with its alfresco dining verandah and plunge pool.
