On first glance, this staircase reads as restrained. White oak treads rise with natural warmth, metal balusters hold their disciplined rhythm, and the painted black railing traces a clean, straight path upward. Then you notice the elliptical stringer wrap, and the whole composition shifts. Unlike a circular curve drawn with a compass, an ellipse requires mathematical calculation and a craftsman who knows how to make that complexity disappear. Here, it does exactly that.
Natural light finishes the story. Moving through the space across the day, it deepens the oak grain, catches the metal, and lets the black railing guide the eye along the handrail's elliptical path from start to finish. Restraint brought the design this far. One well-executed curve made it memorable.

From the first step, this staircase sets the tone. A double bullnose starting step eases the entry with quiet confidence, leading into white oak treads that bring natural warmth to the climb. Slender white balusters hold a light, open rhythm alongside a sleek painted handrail that wraps the structure cleanly from bottom to top. Nothing here competes for attention. Each element defers to the whole, and the whole makes a lasting impression.

This kitchen is more than a space to cook — it's a masterclass in modern minimalism and architectural storytelling. At the heart of the design lies a bold use of form and material: flat-panel matte cabinetry in deep espresso hues grounds the space, while the warm glow of underlit stair treads draws the eye upward, creating a vertical rhythm that lifts the entire experience. Natural light from expansive openings blends with strategic recessed lighting to elevate the soft contrast between materials. Every line has intention. Every surface speaks.
The oversized island in warm stone is not only a sculptural element but also a highly functional centerpiece — spacious enough for entertaining, cooking, and gathering. Stainless steel appliances are seamlessly integrated into the cabinetry wall, maintaining the kitchen's sleek silhouette. The railing system, constructed with black steel and clear glass, enhances spatial flow and allows visual connection between the kitchen and the adjacent stairwell, making the architecture feel open and breathing.
This project reflects a deeper philosophy: your kitchen should work as beautifully as it looks. Designed to feel expansive yet intimately tailored, this space is where function and form live in harmony. It's a kitchen that invites both movement and pause — from your morning coffee rituals to your evening dinners, this room holds it all with grace.

The continuous red oak handrail is what holds this multistory staircase together. It flows uninterrupted from floor to floor, guiding the hand and the eye in equal measure. Round metal balusters rise in clean rhythm beneath it, their slender profiles keeping the composition open. Red oak treads with nosing carry the warmth of the handrail through every step, grounded by crisp white painted risers that reflect the natural light flooding the space. Modern in feel, considered in every detail.

Triptych House is composed of three volumes that are united by a horizontal plane extending out to define outdoor spaces and functions. Inside, the definition between the volumes dissolves as the open kitchen, living, and dining spaces provide a flowing spatial experience for guests and family alike. This form arose from the functional goal of a home with spaces that at times offer privacy but are most often shared and familial. The volumes were also pulled apart to create pockets of greenery and outdoor space that are experienced as one circulates around the home. The home relates to its neighborhood abstractly in terms of scale, datum, and rhythm of openings, rather than through stylistic replication.
The distinct nature of each volume is emphasized by its material character. The verticality of board and batten siding cladding the central two-story volume draws the eye downward, while its dark color allows the single-story light brick volume to hold the foreground when viewed from the street. The steel-edged canopy highlights the horizontal datum that ties all spaces together, allowing a series of special moments articulated in millwork and saturated color to be united under a single plane.

Behind every great bottle is a space that honors it. This custom wine alcove was built with the same care and intention as the collection it holds. Dedicated racking, integrated lighting, and precision climate control, all wrapped in warm, finely milled wood. It's not just storage, its a ritual, a rhythm, a room that speaks to slowness, taste and time. Because good wine, like good design, only gets better with age.

After long days filled with noise, motion, and the weight of the world, our clients envisioned a space that felt like an exhale — a serene escape where time slows and calmness takes hold.
We grounded the room with earthy Riad tiles, their warmth anchoring the space. A Taj Mahal quartzite bench settles into the design with quiet elegance, its delicate veining adding a soft, graceful touch. Together, they compose a tranquil rhythm, turning this bathroom into a sanctuary carved for peace.
