Designing a modern accounting firm requires a delicate balance between focused functionality, acoustic privacy, and a welcoming atmosphere for visiting clients. For this commercial project located in Coimbra, Portugal, Rachelle Design Lab implemented a "Warm Minimalism" concept to move away from the traditional, sterile office environment.
Key Features & Solutions:
Acoustic & Visual Comfort: Extensive use of vertical wood-slatted panels not only adds warmth and visual height to the space but also significantly improves the acoustic quality of the open-plan areas.
Smart Space Planning: Frameless glass partitions with frosted linear decals were strategically used to divide private meeting rooms and executive offices. This ensures acoustic privacy while allowing natural light to penetrate deep into the workspace.
Employee Well-being: A fully equipped, ergonomic kitchenette and dining area was designed using calming taupe tones and durable materials, providing a comfortable space for staff breaks.
Brand Integration: The color palette relies on calming neutrals (sand, light oak, grey) accented with deep burgundy tones that subtly echo the corporate identity of the company.
The result is a highly functional, ergonomic workspace that promotes productivity while reflecting the company's reliability and modern approach.

This lovingly restored Winnetka Heights Craftsman home was a pleasure to work on. My clients, a young married couple with two sweet pups, enjoy collecting unique items from their travels and loved ones and wanted to incorporate them in the design. This was a special project for me because it aligns with my philosophy that our home should be a reflection of who we are. My goal was to pair these bespoke collectibles with modern and new furnishings, fabrics, and fixtures to create a harmonized design that truly reflected their nostalgic and well-traveled style.
My approach involved enhancing the home’s character and charm while adding personalized details and modern touches. I reused preexisting furniture pieces, reupholstered chairs, and repurposed light fixtures to capitalize on sustainable and creative design all while focusing on strategic furniture placement and smart selections.
From the photographs taken by her father in the dining room to the old coins framed and labeled in the front room, each item in their home told a unique story. The final result was a cohesive and personalized space that my client can joyfully call their home, reflecting their unique style and love for travel and bespoke items.

This dramatic aerial view highlights a contemporary hillside home designed for sustainability, function, and year-round beauty. Anchored by clean architectural lines and a low-slope roof equipped with solar panels, the home blends seamlessly into its forested backdrop. A broad concrete driveway provides a crisp, functional entrance, framed by terraced retaining walls that stabilize the steep terrain while enhancing the visual rhythm of the landscape. Native trees and grasses are strategically planted among boulders and gravel mulch for a xeric, fire-wise approach that reduces maintenance and maximizes ecological harmony.

Notice the fun pocket windows along the west-facing wall. They were specifically designed to minimize the amount of glaring western sunlight entering the home and provide snippets of views of the beautiful hillside behind. They serve two other important functions: senses of security and privacy. The homeowners can see from their kitchen and living room small views of the road and who is entering their driveway, but drivers-by cannot see in.

Also notice the tiled radiant hydronic floor soaking up the sun's natural energy on this February 15th day. The passively collected heat is actively distributed throughout the first floor by the radiant floor in a strategy we call "Sun Smart Radiant Heat."
