The home owner purchased this home in Buckhead. A prominent neighborhood of Atlanta. The goal of this young woman was to transform the space from classical ranch that had undergone multiple additions to a more modern with a transitional nautical feel. As well as renovating a large amount of the interior including, master suite, kitchen, and living/dining, a large amount of attention was paid to the exterior living spaces. The modern decks span over a terraced landscape adding an inviting entertainment area. The upper level deck off the master bedroom creates a more private area for morning ritual and relaxing.

The tea action begins at the entrance to the house. There is a small tea garden called "roji". It is decorated with Japanese ritual stones and Ukrainian DIDO art sculptures from the MAKHNO workshop. These good entities protect the house from sad thoughts and uninvited guests.

For their third Urbanology collaboration, longtime clients and close friends, the Songs, both physicians, envisioned a beautifully designed home in Dallas that exuded calm functionality and understated beauty. Rooted in their Asian heritage and Kim’s love for wabi-sabi simplicity, the design embraced clean lines, warm neutrals, and tactile materials that feel approachable yet elevated. The entry and living spaces were reimagined with textural millwork and a sculptural fireplace, creating cohesion and a serene rhythm between daily life and family gatherings. In the office, a once-awkward layout was transformed through custom millwork that turned the piano into a purposeful centerpiece, joined by a reading nook and seamless storage. The expansive primary bedroom gained intimacy and balance through built-in plaster planters, library-style cabinetry, and a curved sofa perfect for evening wine and conversation. Peter’s guest-turned-primary bath became a master class in function, featuring seamless, antimicrobial surfaces and smart hidden storage for his daily rituals. Through every detail, this third phase of the Midway Hollow residence reflects “the art of ease”: spaces that are clean but lived-in, practical but poetic. What began as functional refinements evolved into a warm, layered home—one that honors the couple’s rhythm, heritage, and pursuit of a life beautifully designed, but never overdone.

The design embraces classical symmetry while allowing for naturalistic plant expression, striking a balance between formality and softness. Carefully chosen materials—aged red brick, patinated iron, and reclaimed stone pavers—lend an established feel, making the garden seem as though it has always belonged here. It’s a space for reflection, for morning coffee, or an intimate evening conversation—the kind of outdoor room that becomes a ritual.

For clients seeking a luxury kitchen remodel with warmth, elegance, and everyday ease, this bespoke custom kitchen, project "Nest and Nurture" is a beautiful example of what is possible when design is tailored to the way a family truly lives.

Rich walnut cabinetry brings depth and natural character, while Taj Mahal quartzite countertops introduce soft movement, creamy warmth, and refined elegance.

This renovation transformed the home into a more generous, welcoming, and highly personalized space—one built for connection, comfort, and the everyday rituals that make a house feel deeply lived in.

With that in mind, Amanda says her IKEA kitchen was a team effort between herself, IKD and her general contractor. This was crucial because she wanted to push the refrigerator into a nook so it wasn’t sticking out and taking up so much floor space. “The remodel also added in shelves; maximized cabinet space; and added a dishwasher, which I’m so excited about,” she says. “We intended this kitchen to be for everyday cooking and designed it to be a comfortable space that will make the small, everyday rituals like making coffee and doing dishes a lot more pleasurable.” To that end, she says her favorite part about the kitchen is a salvaged wood beam that her contractor found which was actually salvaged from a local wooden bridge that was being retired. “We needed to keep a beam in place there for structural support, and we decided to go with an exposed beam. I fell in love with this house because of its character and odd little quirks. [The beam] felt like a great way to upgrade the kitchen and keep a lot of the character that makes it feel like home.”
