Dusty Waldrop of Waldrop Builders engaged Kinney & Associates to design a semi-modern 4000-square foot speculative reside-nce that is in the Verano neighborhood of Barton Creek. The program included three bedrooms in the main house (one doubling as an office) each with their own bathrooms, a Living Room, and a Family Room adjacent the Kitchen, as well as Dining Rooms. The developer also wanted a separate Guest Quarters located adjacent an Outdoor Living area and the pool. One design feature of the residence was the custom-cut limestone facade comprised of large 24" x 12" precisely cut stones arranged in a running bond pattern. This gives the facade a very modern yet warm feel. The other exterior materials chosen for the house were wood and stucco, which complement the stone dramatically.

This Washington DC home transformed its entryway into a great hall with a freestanding circular staircase. The curved treads feature matching decorative trim brackets and cove molding, each element precisely curved to match the spiral's radius. The project delivered a dramatic architectural upgrade while staying within the homeowners' budget. 1976-2025 © Century Stair Company

We designed the cabinetry to fit precisely around the refrigerator, which is recessed into the wall a little to keep the kitchen open and allow the refrigerator cabinet to be flush with the adjacent counter tops. The granite counter top is bronze in color and is the perfect fit with the kitchen. -Allison Caves, CKD Caves Kitchens

As you can see, this is a fairly standard screened porch, but the individual custom design elements add up to make it perfect for this home. * We designed the porch roof with a 2-ft. overhang to match home’s roof. * We extended the porch roof beams out to the end of the overhang—again, to match the design of the home’s roof. * The porch’s gable roof style mirrors the home’s gable roof. While the pitch of the two roofs is not precisely the same, they are complementary. The eye recognizes their similarity when you gaze at them. * Also, to give the porch’s open-rafter interior a beefier look and feel, we used 4×6’ rafters instead of 2×6’, which is the norm.

This Gladwyne, PA home remodel focused on delivering highly refined and precisely crafted space to a discerning client. A contemporary palate of materials was used throughout the kitchen and 4 bathrooms to unify the home and reflect consistency of concept. Highly detailed millwork drawings were created to convey the specifics of reveals, pulls, integrated appliances, tile patterns, and lighting reveals. The project serves both the modern lifestyle of the client while at once, complementing the home’s original late mid-century design integrity.

"Scandinavian Mats (God's Gift)", Living Room, 2020. Scandinavian style is one of the latest interior design trends. I love it for its purity and graphics. The interior's Scandinavian motifs send us to an atmosphere of comfort, peace, and tranquility for its natural materials and enveloping comfort. Customers already had a beautiful and thoughtful interior. Asked me to help bring some zest to the room space. The interior already had a vertical painting with a pen, in the color spectrum of which there were colors beloved by the hostess: the delicate bloom of tiffany, but a little muted, light yellow, antique black. I pushed away from this color combination. The color in the interior should be exactly the color that pleases the house residents. Since the room was on the north side, I wanted to bring some sun to the interior, revive it a little with flowers. The room's main accent was a wooden wall composition created by the masters of the company "Jamike Home Improvement," according to my drawings from polished wooden strips covered with matte varnish. They have done the job excellently! A unique graphic created precisely under this space, which brought the room to an entirely new aesthetic level. I am happy with the work of the contractors. Everything here has its character, its place. Each is self-sufficient and functional: a gorgeous coffee table made of the wooden massif, which opens and serves as additional storage. Accent Mid-century chairs are very comfortable. A natural wool handcrafted area rug is soft and cozy. The beauty of this carpet consists precisely in non-standard, lack of precise geometry. The diamond-shaped pattern of the carpet visually expands the space. The color scheme binds together all the colors of the interior as if completing the overall picture.

This highly refined bathroom is composed as a sequence of translucent and transparent layers, with fluted glass screens defining the shower while allowing light and movement to pass through. The linear arrangement leads the eye toward black-framed glass doors and the natural landscape beyond, creating an unusually strong connection between bathing and the outdoors. Crisp white walls and fixtures amplify the daylight, while dark rectangular floor tiles establish contrast and visually ground the narrow space. The ribbed glass provides privacy without creating heaviness, lending the room a luminous, almost ethereal quality. Minimal chrome fittings are precisely integrated, reinforcing the clean architectural character and emphasizing function over ornament. Inspired by modern European bathrooms, Japanese bathing rituals, and spa-like minimalism, the space feels disciplined yet sensorial. Sunlight filtering through the glass creates shifting patterns and a gentle atmospheric glow. Experiencing the cool tile, textured glass, and framed outdoor view would feel refreshing, private, and meditative.

Rooted in the timeless seaside heritage of Hull, Massachusetts, this residence embodies classic New England shingle-style architecture combined with cheerful, sunlit cottage interiors. The exterior showcases weathered cedar shingles, traditional green shutters, and a welcoming portico entry. Inside, warm buttery wall tones harmoniously balance joyful ocean-turquoise kitchen cabinetry and serene coastal textiles. Designed with a focus on family comfort and restorative coastal living—featuring a primary bedroom opening directly via French doors to a private balcony. Every corner was precisely modeled and rendered in 3D to ensure timeless aesthetic appeal and complete peace of mind before building.

The built-in wardrobe behind Buddy—our client’s much-loved golden doodle—was part of the original layout but has been thoughtfully rebuilt and fully integrated into the room’s design. Clad in the same wallpaper as the rest of the space, it feels seamless and intentional, while the addition of coving along the top and skirting at the base reinforces its permanence within the architecture. The doors are finished with delicate brass inlay strips and a mural wallpaper, precisely ordered to size, creating a subtle statement without disrupting the calm, cohesive palette. In front, Buddy has taken up residence on a brushed cotton moss slipper chair—a charming final touch in this elegant and quietly characterful room.

A steeply sloping site posed considerable challenges for Morpurgo Architects’ expansion and renovation of this front to back split-level house. To provide a gradual transition for the family from their home, situated on a high plateau, to the brook and pool below, we designed numerous patios and decks at multiple levels. The house features large, divided-light arched windows. Throughout the first floor, we created lit vaulted ceilings that give the living areas a spacious, open quality. A wide central hallway forms the spine of the house, opening onto a dining room, with columns that support a curved yoke-shaped header that is repeated in the entrance gate on the grounds. Renovations were scheduled in four precisely planned construction phases that allowed the family to continue living in the house during the building process. This elegant, yet informal home, in its serene setting, is the product of Morpurgo Architects’ seamless union of the house and the site.
