Waiting Area for Cedar Counseling & Wellness in Annapolis, MD.
In the early stages of designing Cedar Counseling & Wellness, we knew that we wanted the waiting area to be especially warm and welcoming. Despite it’s expansive scale, the sage/olive green-colored walls almost envelope you when you walk in and the warmth felt through the woven basket pendants and wood, slat dividers help to put you at ease. The soft curves of the modern, white sofas were quite intentional, as we wanted pieces with “curves” to off-set some of the “harder”, more direct elements in the room. All of these “softer” elements help to create a safe and welcoming environment.

When you enter this inviting kitchen, the comforting neutral tones and rich accent pieces draw you in.

In Kirkwood, MO, this home in a family suburb of St. Louis underwent a transformative renovation, blending modern design with family warmth. Key elements included a revamped kitchen and a stylish second floor with a whiskey bar, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. Designed for hosting, the home seamlessly integrates daily family life with a welcoming and stylish environment, reflecting the homeowners' vision and elevating their living experience.

This photo captures the welcoming entryway of the Renovation/Additions in Northern New Mexico project by Gayla Bechtol Architect:
Handcrafted details: The carved wood front door and exposed log columns emphasize craftsmanship rooted in regional traditions.
Stone foundation and steps: Locally sourced stone grounds the structure in its landscape, providing both durability and textural richness.
Stucco walls with bright accents: The warm adobe-toned plaster contrasts beautifully with the bold blue window trim, adding a touch of vibrancy.
Curved portal roofline: The sweeping porch roof softens the geometry and creates an inviting flow, blending protection with elegance.
Integration with site: Natural flagstone paving and native plantings transition seamlessly from the home to the garden, reinforcing the home’s dialogue with nature.
This entryway embodies the essence of Northern New Mexico architecture—rooted in place, handcrafted, and deeply connected to its environment.

Nice, soft tones of grays throughout the bedroom with an occasional pop of yellow. There is a soft, comfortable rug that occupies most of the bedroom creating a welcoming environment. Definitely a space to come back to, take your shoes off, and relax after a long day at work.

A neutral color palette punctuated by warm wood tones and large windows create a comfortable, natural environment that combines casual southern living with European coastal elegance. The 10-foot tall pocket doors leading to a covered porch were designed in collaboration with the architect for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Decorative house accents including stunning wallpapers, vintage tumbled bricks, and colorful walls create visual interest throughout the space. Beautiful fireplaces, luxury furnishings, statement lighting, comfortable furniture, and a fabulous basement entertainment area make this home a welcome place for relaxed, fun gatherings.

Contributed to the interior design of office and reception areas for Universal Music Group in New York City — one of the most dynamic and creative work environments in the music industry. The design challenge was balancing the energy and culture of a global entertainment brand with the functionality and professionalism required of a world class corporate environment. Reception areas were designed to make an immediate and powerful first impression — reflecting the brand's identity while welcoming artists, executives and collaborators from around the world. Office spaces were designed to foster creativity, collaboration and focus simultaneously. Every material finish and spatial decision was made with intention — because in a creative industry your environment should inspire the work that happens inside it.

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.
