Aptos Addition and Major Remodel. Our goal on this project was to provide the owners with the larger kitchen and additional bedrooms they needed for their growing family of five. The existing house was small, but they had a good sized lot in the Cliff Drive neighborhood along the ocean bluffs in Rio Del Mar which we were able to utilize.. Our team designed an extension of the existing house into the rear yard area, allowing for a new master suite and creating separate bedrooms for the children. The old kitchen was expanded and reconceived to create an inviting and open family room area with commercial appliances to support the client’s passion for great Italian cooking. Her decorating concept combining Modern Farmhouse themes with contemporary fixtures and finishes resulted in the beautiful, light, and comfortable home you see in these photographs.

With a touch of glamour and a nod to historical European design, this stunning master bathroom remodel is the culmination of years of dreaming for this client who had meticulously researched and planned nearly every design detail she wanted to incorporate. Each element has a significance behind it and underscores the passion our client has for the Classicism period of design and we were honored to bring her vision to life. From the crown molding and fluted pilasters, to the Schonbek chandelier and sconces with Swarovski crystals, and subtle “aging in place” details that the untrained eye would never know were there, every inch of this beautiful space was designed with careful thought and love.

A dramatic contrast to the main kitchen, this custom black bar area serves as a dedicated entertaining hub. Rich dark cabinetry, stone surfaces, and specialized storage create a sophisticated space for serving beverages and displaying collections. The bold color palette adds depth and character while defining a distinct zone within the open layout. Designed around the homeowners' passion for entertaining, the bar combines functionality with a striking, modern aesthetic.

Metal project is a space created to satisfy the needs and taste of our client, who has a great fondness for metal music. The main idea is to achieve the perfect balance between both, metal music passions and design. That is why we have decided to incorporate metal elements and textures such as copper, iron, concrete and oxidized elements, but we have also added wood coatings to bridle a touch of warmth. ​ This space was divided intelligently by cubes in the upper part, where we have the dressing room and the bedroom. While in the lower part we have positioned the living room, kitchen, bathroom and laundry room.
