Our Boulder studio designed this beautiful home in the mountains to reflect the bright, beautiful, natural vibes outside – an excellent way to elevate the senses. We used a double-height, oak-paneled ceiling in the living room to create an expansive feeling. We also placed layers of Moroccan rugs, cozy textures of alpaca, mohair, and shearling by exceptional makers from around the US. In the kitchen and bar area, we went with the classic black and white combination to create a sophisticated ambience. We furnished the dining room with attractive blue chairs and artworks, and in the bedrooms, we maintained the bright, airy vibes by adding cozy beddings and accessories.

Contemporary Exterior with Cantilevered Roofline, Steel Accents, and Custom Landscape Design | Chicago Custom Home This striking exterior sets the tone for a modern custom home built in the heart of Chicago. Featuring a dramatic cantilevered roofline, black steel railings, and expansive glass walls, the architectural profile is bold, dynamic, and unmistakably contemporary. Every line, edge, and elevation was intentionally designed to marry form and function—while creating undeniable curb appeal. At the base, custom landscaping softens the strong geometry with organic texture. Clean hardscaping and integrated seating offer outdoor gathering zones that extend the livable footprint of the home. Neutral-toned siding and natural wood accents provide warmth to the structure's otherwise minimalist composition, allowing the home to stand out while blending into its urban surroundings. This exterior is a celebration of precision, proportion, and performance. It reflects New Explode Construction's signature approach—designing homes that are both breathtaking and buildable. Modern doesn't have to feel cold, and this home proves it.

One of the most unique spaces in the home is the piano library, where Alan spends a great deal of time reading and working. This sunlit corner of the house is being reimagined with custom millwork, with built-in shelves that will stretch across the entire wall. The craftsmanship of the shelving will be a focal point of the space, with intricate details and seamless integration into the room’s architecture. The design is not only functional but also visually striking, offering a sophisticated way to display books, keepsakes, and treasures while adding depth and elegance to the room. The layout reflects both Alan’s daily routine and the family’s love for music, as the space also serves as a place for piano practice. The natural light streaming through the windows creates a serene environment, perfect for reading, reflection, or quiet moments. Complementing this warmth is a unique lighting design, which will highlight the millwork and cast a soft, inviting glow throughout the room. This one-of-a-kind lighting enhances the beauty of the built-ins, making the space feel both cozy and refined at any hour of the day.

The Elliott Bay House is located on an urban site facing Puget Sound in Washington State. The architectural massing of the house has been wrapped around a south-facing, courtyard dominated by a large reflecting pool with two “floating” basalt boulders. The main living space has sweeping westerly views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. The east side of the living space is the courtyard with reflecting pool, providing a sense of intimacy and quiet in contrast to the dramatic views on the west side. Similar to other FINNE projects, a strong sense of “crafted modernism” is present in the house. A water jet-cut steel fence and gate leads to the house entry. Stainless steel stands elevate the basalt boulders in the pool so they hover slightly above the water’s surface. Roof drainage from the living space drops onto the basalt boulder in a 10-ft. waterfall. Exterior siding is custom stained red cedar with two different patterns and colors. The striking steel and wood stairs have water jet-cut steel railings with a pattern based on hand-drawn ink brush strokes. The beech interior cabinets have a custom topographic milled pattern called “imaginary landscape.” Freeform steel lighting bars in the ceiling tie together the kitchen and dining spaces. The house is highly energy efficient and sustainable. All roof drainage is directed to the reflecting pool for collection. The house is insulated 30% higher than code. Radiant heating is used throughout; generous glass areas provide natural lighting and ventilation; large overhangs are used for sun and snow protection; interior wood is FSC certified. The house has been pre-wired for photovoltaic roof panels, and an electric vehicle charging station has been installed in the garage.

**Featured in Home & Design Magazine! The inspiration for this unique project draws on the clients’ love of Paris and the city’s vibrant romanticism and mix of architectural styles. Our challenge was to elevate builder-grade finishes in a newly-constructed townhome to create an urban retreat with aged patina for this young couple. Soft industrial elements were layered over Old-World inspired details on nearly every surface for maximum impact. We added rustic wood ceilings and industrial beams to create drama, texture, and value throughout. A Parisian-inspired glass/iron wall divider relieves the open concept floor plan, creating a more intimate seating space. Oversized pendants of steel, blown glass, horsehair and faux horn provide soft illumination while drawing the eye upward to architectural ceiling details. Custom midnight blue built-ins create a library that frames the entry and study. The deep and dramatic color palette of paint and wallpaper that adorns the walls is a vibrant mix of cobalt, citron, teal and smoky lavender. Light pours into the rooms from the large windows, reflects off the oversized acid-wash mirror, and forms dramatic shadows on the walls, setting the mood for this home.

Elevate the style of your home with the sophisticated look of a walnut veneer slab door. Its awe-inspiring wood grain pattern adds a touch of elegance to your space, while the modern design brings a fresh and contemporary feel. For a truly chic look, pair the door with a metallic backsplash that reflects light and adds an industrial edge to your kitchen or bathroom. To complement the natural beauty of the walnut, consider using a classic white countertop to create a bright and airy ambiance. The 3" Quartz countertops are a perfect contrast to the darker rye stained walnut. Cabinets are Shiloh, horizontal quarter cut walnut, in the rye finish. Countertops are Everest White Quartz with a custom 3" square edge detail. Backsplash is Arizona Tile stainless steel arabesque, mixed with white subway tiles.

Overlooking Semiamhoo Bay, Galadriel is a refined, modern home with the warmth and strength inherently found in West Coast architecture. Textures of natural stone, Douglas fir, glass and steel unify the interior with its geographical setting - surrounded by evergreens and unrestricted views of the ocean. The entrance to the home is accessed by a crossing above a reflecting pool, in which sits a stunning and solitary bonsai which is illuminated from above through an oculus in the roof’s overhang. Expansive outdoor spaces featuring fire features and seating areas are connected by a curved metal staircase set over a blackened steel reflecting pool, adding a graphic element to the rear of the home. Clerestory glazing in an elevated roof area offers an opening into the tree canopy towards the front of the property and allows light to permeate the interior of the home, while full height windows throughout maximize the impressive views. Living spaces throughout provide ample room for entertaining and comfort. Creativity is shown in the many colourful and whimsical accents. The master bedroom features two ensuite baths - a unique request that makes good sense for the owners. Spaces for work, writing and art were given priority reflecting the values and livelihood of our clients. Projecting from a stone clad wall, cantilevered white oak stair treads lead to an extraordinary wine display that incorporates a sculptural component taken as a memento from our client’s work as a producer in the film industry, adding a strong personal dimension. This home reflects a successful collaboration between Peter Hildebrand and Stefan Walsh of Iredale Group Architecture and KBC Developments. Photography by Ema Peter | www.emapeter.com
