This cozy lake cottage skillfully incorporates a number of features that would normally be restricted to a larger home design. A glance of the exterior reveals a simple story and a half gable running the length of the home, enveloping the majority of the interior spaces. To the rear, a pair of gables with copper roofing flanks a covered dining area that connects to a screened porch. Inside, a linear foyer reveals a generous staircase with cascading landing. Further back, a centrally placed kitchen is connected to all of the other main level entertaining spaces through expansive cased openings. A private study serves as the perfect buffer between the homes master suite and living room. Despite its small footprint, the master suite manages to incorporate several closets, built-ins, and adjacent master bath complete with a soaker tub flanked by separate enclosures for shower and water closet. Upstairs, a generous double vanity bathroom is shared by a bunkroom, exercise space, and private bedroom. The bunkroom is configured to provide sleeping accommodations for up to 4 people. The rear facing exercise has great views of the rear yard through a set of windows that overlook the copper roof of the screened porch below.

The interior design concept involves accentuating the villa’s breath-taking sea views throughout the beautiful four floor levels. The living area and supporting rooms are situated on the bottom two floor levels. While the master bedroom and other guest rooms are located on the top two floors. There is a hint of classic and modern interlude encompassed with touches of blue intertwined complimenting the picturesque sea views from every window. The interior layout has been designed as an open floor layout to illuminate the villa with natural light and create a luxurious Zen ambience.

From early planning through permitting and construction, this project required careful decisions to balance preservation with innovation. The clients were particularly keen to maintain the playful and unexpected qualities that give mid-century homes their personality, and we embraced that spirit throughout the design. Several custom details were carefully engineered to achieve this balance, including a sliding backsplash panel that conceals storage behind a seamless porcelain surface—an element that consistently surprises visitors. The completed space honors the architectural character of the original home while introducing modern functionality, light, and craftsmanship designed to support daily family life

The Brexhill project was designed as a sophisticated retreat for both entertaining and unwinding. The client wanted a space where adults could gather comfortably, while also creating a quiet corner to sit, read, and relax. Rich greens and layered blues bring personality and warmth to the renovation, creating a palette that feels inviting, distinctive, and deeply personal to the homeowner. Thoughtful furnishings, comfortable seating, and refined details transformed the space into a place that supports every mood—from lively evenings with friends to peaceful moments alone. The result is a welcoming, polished retreat that feels entirely her own.

Transforming this long-standing home on Bradgate Rd required more than a simple update—it called for a careful balance between renewal, structure, and respect for what was already there. The existing brick bungalow had strong bones, but the exterior was deteriorating, the carport was underutilized, and key interior spaces no longer supported the homeowners’ needs. Having lived in the home for decades, the goal wasn’t to start over—it was to rework the home into a more functional, comfortable space that could support the years ahead. The scope included a full exterior masonry refresh, where the front layer of brick was removed and replaced while maintaining the integrity of the original structure. The carport was fully enclosed and integrated into the home as a garage, and a new roof tied everything together with consistent detailing and long-term performance in mind. Inside, the layout was carefully reworked to introduce a new primary ensuite and completely renovate the main bathroom. Plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems were updated throughout, with a focus on accessibility, ease of use, and everyday comfort. The result is a home that feels both familiar and elevated—where thoughtful construction and refined design come together to support long-term living without compromising character.

The Ivory Marble Interior Design Project reimagines the main floor to support modern family living through a thoughtful layout redesign and refined material palette. By relocating the powder room, we opened up the heart of the home, creating improved flow between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. A navy shaker island anchors the kitchen, paired with satin white cabinetry, Montauk quartz countertops, and brass-accented lighting for a timeless yet elevated look. Custom features, including a walk-in pantry, built-in fireplace wall, private home office, and functional mudroom, add both beauty and practicality, resulting in a warm, cohesive space designed for everyday life and entertaining.

Behind the scenes of this Cherry Hills Village remodel, our team worked meticulously to highlight the natural beauty of Crystallo Quartzite while balancing warmth and contemporary minimalism. The kitchen became the heart of the project, with a bookmatched Crystallo Quartzite waterfall island that required precision templating and seamless mitered edges to create a floating stone appearance. We paired it with soft oak cabinetry and integrated appliances to keep the space feeling open and clean, letting the quartzite’s subtle veining take center stage. In the living room, the double-height ceilings and expansive windows brought in Colorado’s natural light, while the sleek black fireplace and designer lighting created a sophisticated focal point. We carefully coordinated stone details with the design team to ensure flow and cohesion throughout. The bathroom’s backlit onyx steam shower was a technical feat, requiring custom support and LED installation to achieve an even glow that transforms the space into a spa retreat. Every tile cut and seam placement was strategized to align the onyx’s natural patterns, making the steam shower both functional and a piece of art. Throughout this project, we prioritized craftsmanship, precision, and clear communication with the homeowners, designers, and trades. From slab selection to the final polish, each detail was approached with intention to bring this refined, organic modern home to life.
