The Willow - Transitional Family Home on Acreage in Brush Prairie, Washington by Cascade West Development Inc. Lastly, the style. Shabby Chic (chique) was a trend favorited early on by these clients. We wanted to create a space that used similar elements in materials and construction while allowing their style to play out over interior walls. On the outside this amounted to over 200 square feet of Eldorado Stone’s stacked stone, giving the façade giving the exterior a strong, natural and rustic feel. The stone is additionally used in the rear of the home as well, to frame an outdoor family living area equipped with a full outdoor kitchen. On the interior, their style translated into many accents. Antique wall sconces. Reclaimed wood. Wrought iron fixtures. Ornate woodwork. And old-world stylings of modern furniture. That idea is evidenced in pieces like their mud-bench in the second entryway. The hyperfunctional mud-bench is made of dark, unfinished natural wood stained to match an adjacent tongue and groove ceiling.

This 1,000ft² recording and production studio, built in 2021 for producer couple Latifah Alattas and Lucas Morton, was designed as a fully custom creative environment that supports writing, mixing, and collaboration at the highest level. Both Latifah and Lucas are multi-instrumentalists, engineers, and mixers, and the studio reflects the full range of their workflows—visually inspiring, technically precise, and intuitive in every room. The facility was built from the ground up with a strong emphasis on architectural acoustics and plug-and-play connectivity. The layout includes two Control Rooms, multiple isolation booths, and shared common spaces, all tied together with seamless audio integration. No matter where you are in the studio, routing, monitoring, and communication remain effortless and consistent. Behind the aesthetic, the acoustic design is exceptionally robust. Six independent floating-floor systems support the suites, ensuring each room operates with minimal sound transmission. Tailored sound-reducing wall assemblies, full-lite doors, engineered window systems, and intentional treatment plans deliver clarity, isolation, and precision for tracking and mixing. Each space is mechanically decoupled, allowing multiple rooms to run simultaneously without compromise. For monitoring, both Latifah and Lucas chose Genelec “The Ones” series monitors with GLM calibration to ensure accurate translation and consistency across the entire facility. Natural light and a warm, welcoming aesthetic anchor the visual identity of the studio, reflecting the creative energy and personality of its owners. The result is a highly functional, beautifully crafted space where ideas can move freely and production can happen without limitations.

Our approach focused on "quiet luxury"—using high-end materials and sophisticated silhouettes to match the quality of the build. From the spa-inspired primary suite to the entertainer's dream living room, every piece was chosen to enhance the home's natural light and architectural lines. A perfect example of how staging translates "house" into "home."

A sculptural translation of geological character into precise architectural form. Cut to a 27"x16"x6" profile, this wall-hung basin utilizes the dense, charcoal field and irregular white veining of premium Bursa Gray marble. The design features a flush-integrated 6" backsplash, a sweeping curved front profile, and a striking terraced interior basin that steps concentrically toward the drain. The honed matte finish suppresses reflectivity to foreground the stone's tonal complexity. Engineered for wall-mounted faucet configurations, it reads with quiet authority—especially when contrasted with matte black plumbing fixtures and bare plaster or modern interior palettes.

Dark Wenge & Stone — A Kitchen Built for Living There is something quietly confident about a kitchen that knows exactly what it is. This open-plan renovation in Melbourne's inner suburbs pairs dark wenge cabinetry in Polytec's rich board finish with a honed Caesarstone benchtop — a combination that is at once grounded and refined. The layout follows a generous L-shape with a full-height pantry and appliance tower anchoring the back wall, while the mobile kitchen island on castors becomes the quiet star of the design. Despite its substantial, furniture-like presence, it moves — roll it aside when entertaining calls for an open floor, or lock it in place for a working kitchen that means business. The island's open shelf side faces a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a lush green backyard, which does something clever to the space: it borrows the garden, pulls in natural light, and makes the kitchen feel far larger and more luxurious than its footprint suggests. Subway tile splashback, integrated handles, and the disciplined restraint of the material palette keep the design from ever feeling busy. The result is a kitchen that is simple, highly functional, and genuinely beautiful. A note on budget and design. This project was completed in Polytec wenge board and Caesarstone — premium materials chosen to match the brief. The same design logic, however, translates readily into mid-range or entry-level finishes without losing its integrity. That is, ultimately, what good design does: it holds its shape across budgets. The role of a design and project manager is not simply to specify beautiful things — it is to marry the aesthetic vision with the budget available, and deliver a result that feels considered at every price point.

Malibu Glass Box House by Klopf Architecture Following the devastating Woolsey Fire of 2018, the site in Malibu offered a unique opportunity to rebuild not just a home, but a new architectural composition that highlighted the property’s potential while navigating strict fire-rebuild codes in the area. Designed by Klopf Architecture, this project embraced a set of limitations and translated them into an architectural asset. The city’s fire-rebuild process required the new structure to remain close to the original footprint, size and bulk, a constraint that ultimately clarified the architectural direction. Perched near the front of a long, narrow lot, the new home frames and overlooks a private, park-like rear expanse, an uncommon luxury especially in this part of Malibu . Without a fixed program, the design process allowed for a different kind of creative focus allowing Klopf Architecture the opportunity to explore how a modernist home could best respond to this site. The team approached the project not with a list of requirements, but with a question: How might a modernist live here? What spatial qualities would inspire calm, connection, and a sense of wonder in this setting? The process became less about problem-solving and more about architectural storytelling—letting the site, the light, and the principles of modern design guide the form and flow of the home. The response emerged in the form of a glass-box pavilion, an open, Mid-Century Modern inspired living, dining, and kitchen space that floats at the edge of the property’s natural descent. Connected to the more enclosed, private areas of the home by a glass-walled hallway, the living pavilion becomes a distinct centerpiece of the design. It opens on all four sides to the landscape with decks and patios on the flanks, an internal garden and water feature to the north, and a dramatic unguarded view of the expansive backyard and ocean horizon to the south. Because of the mandated footprint, careful planning was required to ensure every space could still engage with light, landscape, or both. Strategic voids in the form of atriums and courtyards allow daylight to filter deep into the home’s core, while offering moments of surprise and retreat. These design gestures allow natural light to filter deep into the interior, creating a sense of brightness and openness throughout the day. At the same time, they expand the perceptual boundaries between inside and out, making the home feel more expansive while anchoring its connection to the surrounding landscape. The siting of the house is what gives it its unique character. Rather than receding into the backyard like the neighboring homes, the house holds a slight prominence. From the central living pavilion, stepping down into the landscape feels more like entering a secluded park where a separate existing accessory structure, trail, and recreational areas await. The home’s modest street presence gives way to this unfolding drama of space, view, and nature. Fire-resilient materials and assemblies are integrated seamlessly throughout including triple-pane glazing, under-slab and roof insulation, and locally sourced fire-rated cladding ensure the house not only meets Calfornia’s rigorous wildland-urban interface (WUI) standards, but feels effortlessly aligned with them. While technical decisions like fire-hardening and mechanical systems presented some construction challenges, particularly around the cantilevered glass box, the team found a functional compromise that preserved the integrity of the design. Inside, a restrained palette and exposed post and beam design celebrate the ethos of mid-century modernism. A central circulation spine extends from the entry to the rear glass wall, offering a continuous visual link from street to ocean. Spaces such as the library and office, though more intimate in scale, are never cut off from nature as each opens to its own unique courtyard or garden view. Though born out of a strict regulatory framework and developed without a specific client, the rebuild design unfolded with remarkable clarity. Grounded in site logic, refined by limitations and an emphasis on timeless spatial relationships – light, proportion, and a strong connection to nature, the resulting design feels both effortless and uplifting. The home lives lightly on the land, opens generously to its surroundings, and strikes a careful balance between privacy, openness, and calm. For Klopf Architecture, it stands as a compelling case study in how site, code, and circumstantial constraints can inspire enduring, modernist architecture. With years of experience reimagining mid-century modern design for how people live today, the firm took the project’s limitations as an opportunity. The result is a home shaped by open, flowing spaces, strong indoor-outdoor connections, and a calm, clear sense of structure. It’s a good reminder that even with strict constraints, there’s still room for architecture to breathe—and for modernism to keep moving forward.

Welcome to Mediterranean Marvel, a testament to the transformative journey guided by our client’s dreams and our dedication at JRP Design & Remodel. This project exemplifies our commitment to creating homes that reflect personal style and enhance everyday living. In the initial phase, we focused on revitalizing the family room and kitchen, spaces that felt confined and dim. By replacing traditional windows with a sweeping bi-folding door, we seamlessly integrated indoor and outdoor living, flooding the space with natural light and inviting California’s beauty inside. This redesign not only expanded the living area but also redefined how our clients experience their home, fostering a connection to the outdoors that enriches daily life. Simultaneously, the kitchen underwent a remarkable transformation into a bright, inviting culinary hub. With spacious countertops and an open layout, the new kitchen became a gathering place for family and friends, where culinary creativity and cherished memories converge. In the subsequent phase, our attention turned to crafting a luxurious upstairs primary suite. Here, we aimed to create a haven of tranquility and sophistication, blending modern comforts with timeless elegance. The result is a sanctuary where our clients can retreat, unwind, and recharge amidst surroundings tailored to their desires. At JRP Design & Remodel, our approach is rooted in understanding our clients’ aspirations and translating them into spaces that exceed expectations. Mediterranean Marvel is more than a renovation; it’s a narrative of collaboration and craftsmanship, where each decision is guided by our clients’ vision for their ideal home. Photographer: Public 311
