The Pale Moon kitchen has an informal open floor plan, great for entertaining as well as allowing for more natural light throughout the kitchen. The space includes updated yet timeless finishes, and cabinetry in the kitchen is a mix of white for a crisp bright feeling and a dark grey-blue paint for the island to help ground the space. The kitchen consists of 3 zones: the wet bar area (near the dining space) allows guests to help themselves to refreshments from the Monogram beverage center as well as the option for ice from a Monogram ice machine. The secondary cooking area consists of an Advantium oven to help aid the homeowner with speed cooking when time is of the utmost importance. The primary cooking zone is anchored by a Monogram 48″ range with six burners and griddle to ensure the cook can easily whip up large dinners for family and friends. A Monogram dishwasher is nearby for ease of cleanup.

Mountain Peek is a custom residence located within the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana. The layout of the home was heavily influenced by the site. Instead of building up vertically the floor plan reaches out horizontally with slight elevations between different spaces. This allowed for beautiful views from every space and also gave us the ability to play with roof heights for each individual space. Natural stone and rustic wood are accented by steal beams and metal work throughout the home. (photos by Whitney Kamman)

This Parkville, MO basement remodel transforms an unfinished lower level into a clean, modern space designed to support everyday living and grow with the family. Guided by a simple and intentional aesthetic, the layout was designed to create distinct yet connected zones within an open-concept plan. A dedicated media area accommodates multiple screens, while adjacent spaces provide room for active play and a functional workout zone with space for weights and equipment. A wet bar positioned just off the main living area adds convenience for entertaining without interrupting the flow of the space. Throughout the design, durability and organization were prioritized to ensure the basement functions effortlessly for daily use. Even the bathroom was treated as a design opportunity, incorporating a unique feature that brings personality and character to the lower level. The result is a bright, flexible extension of the home that feels cohesive, highly functional, and built to evolve with the family over time.
