Search results for "Mass showcase" in Home Design Ideas

Believe it or not, this award-winning home began as a speculative project. Typically speculative projects involve a rather generic design that would appeal to many in a style that might be loved by the masses. But the project’s developer loved modern architecture and his personal residence was the first project designed by architect C.P. Drewett when Drewett Works launched in 2001. Together, the architect and developer envisioned a fictitious art collector who would one day purchase this stunning piece of desert modern architecture to showcase their magnificent collection.
The primary views from the site were southwest. Therefore, protecting the interior spaces from the southwest sun while making the primary views available was the greatest challenge. The views were very calculated and carefully managed. Every room needed to not only capture the vistas of the surrounding desert, but also provide viewing spaces for the potential collection to be housed within its walls.
The core of the material palette is utilitarian including exposed masonry and locally quarried cantera stone. An organic nature was added to the project through millwork selections including walnut and red gum veneers.
The eventual owners saw immediately that this could indeed become a home for them as well as their magnificent collection, of which pieces are loaned out to museums around the world. Their decision to purchase the home was based on the dimensions of one particular wall in the dining room which was EXACTLY large enough for one particular painting not yet displayed due to its size. The owners and this home were, as the saying goes, a perfect match!

Anchored by the homeowner’s 42-foot-long painting, the interiors of this Palm Springs residence were designed to showcase the owner’s art collection, and create functional spaces for daily living that can be easily adapted for large social gatherings.
Referencing the environment and architecture in both form and material, the finishes and custom furnishings bring the interior to life. Alluding to the roofs that suspend over the building, the sofas seem to hover above the carpets while the knife-edge table top appears to float above a metal base. Bleached and cerused wood mimic the “desert effect” that would naturally occur in this environment, while the textiles on the sofa are the same shade as the rocks of the landscape.
Monolithic concrete floors connect all of the spaces while concealing mechanical systems, and stone thresholds signal vertical level changes and exterior transitions. Large wall masses provide the optimal backdrop for the homeowner’s oversized art. The wall structures ground the interior, while the opposing expanses of glass frame the desert views. The location and use of operable doors and windows allows the house to naturally ventilate, reducing cooling loads. The furnishings create spaces in an architectural fashion.
Designed and fabricated for flexibility, the pieces easily accommodate the owners’ large social gatherings. The dining table can be split into two and the sofas can be pushed out along the walls, opening the center of the space to entertain. The design of the interior spaces and furnishings seamlessly integrates the setting, architecture, artwork and spaces into a cohesive whole.

A stunning modern interpretation of a Craftsman-style luxury home nestled in the Western North Carolina mountains, featuring natural materials, clean architectural lines, and sustainable design elements that harmoniously blend with the surrounding landscape. The exterior showcases traditional Craftsman characteristics with contemporary refinements, demonstrating masterful attention to detail in its construction and finish.

Perched high above the desert floor, this exclusive community of homes was designed specifically to take full advantage of close indoor/outdoor relationships, to showcase panoramic views and directional breezes. Adjacent mountains sweep across the site, and varied massing combined with rustic stone and wood beams recall historic European hill-towns. Each of the three plans incorporates multiple courtyards and porticos with a centralized, formal entry experience. The interplay of interior volumes articulates natural light and dramatic textures. Public and private spaces have been carefully zoned, to provide pockets of seclusion, balanced with generous entertainment areas. Inclusion of multiple water features combined with indigenous landscape seamlessly blend with the architecture to create a stunning sense of place among the rugged desert terrain.

Showcasing the graceful silhouette from another perspective, this custom solid teak wood sofa set brings sophisticated French character to an elegant living space. The collection includes one upholstered sofa and two matching chairs, each designed with coordinated curves, sculpted wooden accents and refined detailing.
The combination of soft blush upholstery and warm gold-toned wood creates a luxurious yet welcoming appearance. Inspired by French Provincial and Louis XV-era furniture forms, the design works beautifully in classic, traditional and French-inspired interiors while remaining versatile enough for refined transitional spaces.
Crafted with a solid teak wood frame for exceptional durability, this handcrafted furniture set is designed as a lasting statement piece rather than ordinary mass-produced seating.
Set includes 1 sofa + 2 chairs only. Coffee table, rug, artwork, cushions and décor are not included.

This perspective highlights the street-facing architectural character of the three-storey semi-detached dwelling, showcasing its contemporary design and thoughtfully integrated landscaping.
The combination of clean geometric forms, contrasting exterior finishes, and expansive windows creates a bold yet cohesive architectural presence. Carefully integrated balconies, recessed building elements, and modern detailing introduce depth and visual interest while breaking up the building's overall massing.
The landscape design plays an important role in the overall composition, incorporating thoughtfully placed greenery, planting beds, and landscaped areas that complement the building's modern architecture. These natural elements soften the contemporary exterior while creating a welcoming transition between the residence and the surrounding streetscape.
Together, the architecture and landscaping demonstrate a cohesive approach to residential design, where the building and its outdoor environment are considered as one unified concept.
Although the project did not progress beyond the Development Permit stage, it remains a design we're particularly proud of and an example of Studio Wolf Designs' commitment to creative, thoughtful residential design.
