Established in a patrimonial building, the Castelnau condo project reflects its history throughout the entire design and is represented in the classical nature of the main entrance lobby. A strong perpendicular axe is created by the symmetrical layout and by a strategic ceiling recess, creating three blacks stripes directing the eyes on the openings to the exterior and taking charge of the lighting distribution. An arrangement of Flos chandeliers overlook the double height and confer elegance to the space, contrasting with the use of fluorescent fixtures that underlines the way to the elevators. Two symmetrical lounges serve as relaxation areas and are complemented by a built-in seat nestled in the hollow wood wall, which enfolds the elevators wall. The choice of materials and the construction details support the contemporary approach and honor the classic architecture filled with history. © Adrien Williams / Lorelei L’Affeter

Nestled in the treetops overlooking Lake Sarah, this second-story addition was designed as both a retreat and an extension of home. Elevated above the shoreline, the new spaces immerse the homeowners in the beauty of their surroundings while supporting the rhythm of daily life. The addition introduces a private guest en-suite for visiting family and friends, a quiet office for focused work, a cozy lounge for gathering, a dedicated ceramic studio for making, and an outdoor patio that connects seamlessly to views of the lake and woods. Every space reflects the homeowners’ lifestyle—places where creativity can flourish, where moments of reflection are possible, and where memories with friends and family can be made. Natural light, framed views, and a strong connection to the outdoors guided the design, ensuring that each room feels both purposeful and restorative. Outside, durable cement board siding, anodized aluminum Marvin windows, and composite decking ensure lasting performance. Inside, walnut flooring and custom millwork bring warmth and texture, balancing comfort with modern practicality This project goes beyond adding square footage. It creates a sanctuary—an elevated experience of home where living, creating, and connecting come together in the treetops.

Natural skylight bathes this primary bathroom vanity in warm diffused daylight, illuminating a floating rift-cut oak vanity dressed with a marble countertop and polished brass faucet hardware—a combination that feels as much like fine furniture as cabinetry. A large frameless mirror reflects the warm plaster-toned walls and a sculptural arrangement of flowering branches, elevating the everyday ritual of the space into something quietly poetic. The overall effect is serene, spa-adjacent luxury.

A tall dark cabinet wall gives this side of the bedroom a strong architectural anchor. Large paneled doors, smaller cupboards above, and reflective pulls establish an ordered elevation, with a slender ladder providing access toward the upper storage. The dark finish contrasts with the pale floor, light walls, and softly draped seat at the foot of the bed. Broad windows bring daylight across the cabinet fronts, revealing subtle reflections and the ladder’s fine outlines. A small wall light adds a warmer accent between the windows. The combination of substantial storage and restrained detailing suggests a tailored contemporary character, making practical organization part of the room’s composition while preserving an open, comfortable area around the bed.

Scott and Sue Kinney’s 3,366-square foot home in the quiet, family-friendly town of Bethany Beach, Delaware, reflects their ideal coastal retirement. The Kinneys worked with Marnie Oursler, president and owner of Marnie Custom Homes, to design and build the "transitional coastal"-style home. "We blended traditional and modern elements of coastal design to create a fusion of classic and contemporary," said Oursler. Ocean views were a key selling point for the Kinneys when they purchased the land. The home’s design is centered around the natural beauty of the water. Their home mixed and matched several Marvin collections: Modern, Ultimate, and Elevate. These collections provided sweeping views, complementary design, and protection in a storm-prone coastal climate.

In this Victorian home on Capitol Hill, the interior had been gut renovated by a developer to match a modern farmhouse aesthetic which did not reflect our client. Our scope included a complete overhaul of the primary bathroom and powder room, a heavy kitchen refresh, along with new hardware, doors, paint, lighting, furnishings and window treatments throughout the home. Our goal was to also elevate the home’s architectural details, including a new stair rail, back to what could have been original millwork while creating a feminine, sophisticated space for a family of 5 (plus one adorable furry friend).
