Awakening Your Senses | Our private living space is a mirror of our personality. A charming fusion of different styles and objects, of memories and emotions.

In this way, every living space tells its own, very individual, story. It is the story and the desires of the people who live in this space and who provide it with a character all of its own.The change and the interaction of personal styles is the foundation of the new Axor Urquiola collection. Take advantage of this new freedom to release your own, invigorating mix of styles and create your personal retreat. With Axor Urquiola, the line between bathroom and living area, between today and tomorrow becomes fluid.

As part of the initiative to rebuild New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Brooks + Scarpa’s Make it Right (MIR) home seeks to redefine the concept of a home into a flexible, multifunctional and adaptable space addressing the needs of today’s modern family, on a limited budget. Offering shelter and comfort, the MIR home breaks the prescriptive mold of the traditional home by creating public and private “zones” in which private space is deemphasized in favor of large public living areas. The organization of the space is intended to transform the way people live—away from a reclusive, isolating layout, towards a family-oriented, interactive space. The inspiration for the exterior’s design came from American patchwork quilting traditions, particularly the distinctive Gee’s Bend quilt-makers of southwest Alabama. Recycled wooden pallets are repositioned here as a patchworked shade screen wrapping the building, an innovative alternative to expensive façade materials. The visually expressive pallets impart an imperfect, rough-hewn individuality, adding depth and texture. Brooks + Scarpa is working with local manufacturers to ensure the viability of this cost-effective and sustainable off-the-shelf product, easily obtainable and readily replaceable. The pallet wrapping is joined by decoratively perforated cement board on the east and west façades, providing both shade and privacy, while allowing views out and dappled, indirect daylight and breezes to enter. All the exterior elements will combine and interweave, emerging as a distinctive pattern-making aesthetic.

In this kitchen renovation, the aim was to revamp the space, making it not just functional, but stylish and inviting too. The decision to paint the walls predominantly white instantly promoted brightness and airiness into the room, setting the stage for a modern makeover. Knocking down the wall separating the kitchen from the family room added a touch of spaciousness and promoted seamless interaction between the two areas. Introducing a sleek floating island became the centerpiece, offering both practicality and a contemporary aesthetic. Upgrading to all new appliances ensured efficiency without sacrificing style. The end result? A chic, welcoming kitchen that's as perfect for cooking up a storm as it is for gathering with loved ones. In this extensive bathroom remodel, a once cluttered and cramped primary bathroom has been meticulously transformed into a spacious and bright oasis. By prioritizing additional storage and leveraging the existing skylight, the space underwent a remarkable renovation without the need for significant structural changes. The skylight was maximized to its full potential by surrounding it with pristine white walls, creating an airy and luminous atmosphere. The introduction of a luxurious marble shower not only adds a touch of sophistication but also contributes to the overall cleanliness and sophistication of the space. Soft gray cabinets and warm wood accents were strategically incorporated to create a bathroom with a serene and welcoming ambiance, evoking a sense of tranquility and comfort. Every detail was meticulously considered, from the placement of storage solutions to the selection of materials, ensuring that the remodeled bathroom exudes both functionality and elegance. The result is a blend of style and practicality, where every aspect of the design works in harmony to create a serene sanctuary where relaxation and rejuvenation are effortlessly embraced.

Ground Floor Redesign, Entry, Basement Stairwell, Kitchen, Living and Dining Rooms. Architecturally, we removed the original closed in front vestibule and stairwell walls. We also removed a redundant side door (another is located at back) and flipped the basement stairs to be accessed at the front entrance instead of the kitchen. This redesign allowed the entire space to be opened-up and provide well-needed space for the new kitchen. A full glass railing quietly protects the below closet and pantry area, while offering the feeling of spaciousness and controls traffic from the front door directly into the kitchen. Brilliant idea! A feature to the Living Room is a new built-out wall exhibiting a recessed flat-screen television and linear fireplace with a circulation vent system. The kitchen island hosts the built-in oven, a microwave drawer, and induction cooktop. The built-in fridge sits adjacent to a pullout pantry which is complemented by a corner lemans corner system. A spice niche and the key niche in the entry add some fun storage. All appliances are built-in and only 24" wide, making counter space a privilege. The island front boasts an illuminated display niche to complement a stone waterfall facing the entry. Island toe kicks were tucked back 9” to create the illusion of a “floating” island. The ceiling is thoughtfully designed with painted bulkheads to contribute to defining the three primary spaces as one entity for comfortable interaction. Anchoring the island is a suspended walnut canopy housing a recessed hood fan and an array of recessed lighting. Hardwood flooring was re-pieced and refinished to be level with the new entry "pebble tiles" which promote a sense of nature and non-slip care. A phenomenal transformation indeed, these home-owners absolutely love the results of their renovations.
