The kitchen is designed and furnished with plenty of room for a family of four, plus enough room for entertaining. The family room was designed for a family of four to relax, watch tv, play games, and “live” in. Two sisters desired spaces unique to each of them. While the younger sister prefers bright colors like fuschia, apple green and bright aqua, her older sister found pale, icy blue and grey her perfect palette. The beautifully decorated game room is a place that promotes both relaxation and fun. Whether the client is lounging on the comfy sectional watching TV or crafting on the game table, the versatility of the space satisfies every need. With the infusion of coral and magenta color schemes, a fresh and lively atmosphere is created.

The new basement is the ideal space to extend casual entertaining. This basement was developed to extend the entertaining space. The bar area has its own microwave and refrigerator. A dish washer makes clean up easier. This 1961 Cape Cod was well-sited on a beautiful acre of land in a Washington, DC suburb. The new homeowners loved the land and neighborhood and knew the house could be improved. The owners loved the charm of the home’s façade and wanted the overall look to remain true to the original home and neighborhood. Inside, the owners wanted to achieve a feeling of warmth and comfort. The family does a lot of casual entertaining and they wanted to achieve lots of open spaces that flowed well, one into another. They wanted to use lots of natural materials, like reclaimed wood floors, stone, and granite. In addition, they wanted the house to be filled with light, using lots of large windows where possible. Every inch of the house needed to be rejuvenated, from the basement to the attic. When all was said and done, the homeowners got a home they love on the land they cherish. This project was truly satisfying and the homeowners LOVE their new residence.

With adjacent neighbors within a fairly dense section of Paradise Valley, Arizona, C.P. Drewett sought to provide a tranquil retreat for a new-to-the-Valley surgeon and his family who were seeking the modernism they loved though had never lived in. With a goal of consuming all possible site lines and views while maintaining autonomy, a portion of the house — including the entry, office, and master bedroom wing — is subterranean. This subterranean nature of the home provides interior grandeur for guests but offers a welcoming and humble approach, fully satisfying the clients requests. While the lot has an east-west orientation, the home was designed to capture mainly north and south light which is more desirable and soothing. The architecture’s interior loftiness is created with overlapping, undulating planes of plaster, glass, and steel. The woven nature of horizontal planes throughout the living spaces provides an uplifting sense, inviting a symphony of light to enter the space. The more voluminous public spaces are comprised of stone-clad massing elements which convert into a desert pavilion embracing the outdoor spaces. Every room opens to exterior spaces providing a dramatic embrace of home to natural environment. Grand Award winner for Best Interior Design of a Custom Home The material palette began with a rich, tonal, large-format Quartzite stone cladding. The stone’s tones gaveforth the rest of the material palette including a champagne-colored metal fascia, a tonal stucco system, and ceilings clad with hemlock, a tight-grained but softer wood that was tonally perfect with the rest of the materials. The interior case goods and wood-wrapped openings further contribute to the tonal harmony of architecture and materials. Grand Award Winner for Best Indoor Outdoor Lifestyle for a Home This award-winning project was recognized at the 2020 Gold Nugget Awards with two Grand Awards, one for Best Indoor/Outdoor Lifestyle for a Home, and another for Best Interior Design of a One of a Kind or Custom Home. At the 2020 Design Excellence Awards and Gala presented by ASID AZ North, Ownby Design received five awards for Tonal Harmony. The project was recognized for 1st place – Bathroom; 3rd place – Furniture; 1st place – Kitchen; 1st place – Outdoor Living; and 2nd place – Residence over 6,000 square ft. Congratulations to Claire Ownby, Kalysha Manzo, and the entire Ownby Design team. Tonal Harmony was also featured on the cover of the July/August 2020 issue of Luxe Interiors + Design and received a 14-page editorial feature entitled “A Place in the Sun” within the magazine.

In this combination living room/ family room, form vs function is at it's best.. Formal enough to host a cocktail party, and comfortable enough to host a football game. The wrap around sectional accommodates 5-6 people and the oversized ottoman has room enough for everyone to put their feet up! The high back, stylized wing chair offers comfort and a lamp for reading. Decorative accessories are placed in the custom built bookcases freeing table top space for drinks, books, etc. Magazines and current reading are neatly placed in the rattan tray for easy access. The overall neutral color palette is punctuated by soft shades of blue around the room. LORRAINE G VALE photo by Michael Costa

Interior Designer Rebecca Robeson transformed a seldom used Dining Room into a destination spot in this Solana Beach home. A room for fun and entertainment with a built-in bar, pool table, 2-sided fireplace and lounge seating for 4. Modern pendant chandeliers, exquisite built-in cabinetry, comfy lounge chairs and beautiful oil paintings, keep the room from looking like a man-cave and more like a sexy lounge. Both husband and wife were satisfied... getting what they each wanted... a fun home for entertaining with a great first impression WOW!

Here you can see the gas fireplace with stone surround. The wood mantle was stained to match the kitchen cabinetry, which created harmony between the two areas. To satisfy our clients' needs for an open floorplan, our designer pushed their furniture to the perimeter and we mounted their television above the fireplace. These changes created the uncluttered, traffic free living area our clients were seeking.

The owner of this home is a successful gentleman in the IT business. Our goal was to satisfy all his requirements, yet not to create a man cave. We chose to select fixtures that had interesting shapes and textures - features with their own personalities, yet that would work well with each other and not demand individual attention. A dining table moonlights as a game table on the Poker nights, Subtle color changes work great with the light that is streaming from the huge windows.
