The primary bedroom and bathroom are the showstoppers of this phase! Unused and awkwardly located closets in both the bedroom and bathroom were removed to make way for additional square-footage in the bath and replaced with a sizable and functional reach-in closet in the bedroom. A dated and cramped shower stall was removed in favor for an expansive step in shower spanning the width of the bathroom and a new transom window washes the room in natural light. While the previous bathroom was only able to accommodate a single vanity, the new layout allowed us to create double matching vanities mirrored across from each other - a much appreciated addition for a primary bath. Floating walnut vanities boast impressive storage and are capped with tower cabinets with hidden outlets for charging and storing electronic bathroom tools. While the color palette is restrained - black, white, gray, and brown - the result is a timelessly modern and masculine space that is at once striking and warm. Modern geometric patterns play with each other throughout the material selections.

A refined sanctuary for busy parents, this serene master bath features large scale black floor tile, and an amazingly elegant free-standing tub. The modern vanity is a quiet compliment to the restrained color palette. The oversized shower features wavy white wall tile, hexagonal floor and niche tile and a frameless glass enclosure. Restful, modern style at its best.

Inspired by the iconic American farmhouse, this transitional home blends a modern sense of space and living with traditional form and materials. Details are streamlined and modernized, while the overall form echoes American nastolgia. Past the expansive and welcoming front patio, one enters through the element of glass tying together the two main brick masses. The airiness of the entry glass wall is carried throughout the home with vaulted ceilings, generous views to the outside and an open tread stair with a metal rail system. The modern openness is balanced by the traditional warmth of interior details, including fireplaces, wood ceiling beams and transitional light fixtures, and the restrained proportion of windows. The home takes advantage of the Colorado sun by maximizing the southern light into the family spaces and Master Bedroom, orienting the Kitchen, Great Room and informal dining around the outdoor living space through views and multi-slide doors, the formal Dining Room spills out to the front patio through a wall of French doors, and the 2nd floor is dominated by a glass wall to the front and a balcony to the rear. As a home for the modern family, it seeks to balance expansive gathering spaces throughout all three levels, both indoors and out, while also providing quiet respites such as the 5-piece Master Suite flooded with southern light, the 2nd floor Reading Nook overlooking the street, nestled between the Master and secondary bedrooms, and the Home Office projecting out into the private rear yard. This home promises to flex with the family looking to entertain or stay in for a quiet evening.

This bathroom embraces a timeless modern coastal aesthetic, blending clean architectural lines with warm organic textures to create a serene, spa-like retreat. A soft neutral palette establishes a calming atmosphere, while subtle layering of natural materials adds warmth and sophistication. The curbless walk-in shower is enclosed with frameless glass, allowing the room to feel open and expansive. Large-format porcelain tile extends across the shower walls, creating a seamless backdrop, while a floating bench and illuminated recessed niche provide both functionality and a refined architectural focal point. The herringbone marble mosaic flooring introduces movement and texture underfoot, complementing the linear drain and understated champagne bronze plumbing fixtures. Outside the shower, textured grasscloth-inspired wallcovering softens the space and contrasts beautifully with the sleek tile surfaces. A custom white oak vanity with slim shaker detailing adds warmth through its natural wood grain, while a crisp white quartz countertop enhances the clean, minimalist aesthetic. Champagne bronze hardware and plumbing fixtures are carried throughout the room, providing continuity and an elegant touch. A sculptural mirror framed in champagne bronze is paired with contemporary cylindrical sconces, delivering balanced illumination while reinforcing the room's sophisticated simplicity. Decorative styling is intentionally restrained, with fresh white hydrangeas, a natural stone tray, and a softly upholstered bench creating a welcoming, lived-in feel. Plush Turkish towels mounted on coordinating bronze hooks complete the spa experience. Natural light filters through the glass block window, offering privacy while softly illuminating the room. Every element has been thoughtfully curated to balance luxury, comfort, and functionality, resulting in a bathroom that feels bright, timeless, and effortlessly elegant.

A mix of patterns, colors and styles work together to create a bright, fresh bedroom that never stops surprising. Striped green walls continue from the hallway and are interrupted by floor to ceiling windows with dark floral draperies. A cheetah print rug provides the perfect base for a green upholstered bed and a blue velvet chaise. The bed is flanked by two coral lacquered tables which are mirrored across the room in the form of a matching set of coral chairs with a fun patterned ottoman. Summer Thornton Design, Inc.

The primary bedroom was refreshed with a sophisticated palette of warm grays, a dramatic city-inspired feature wall, new furnishings, and thoughtfully layered accessories. The restrained color palette and contemporary finishes create a calm, luxurious retreat while reflecting the urban character of downtown condominium living.

The Sonoma Farmhaus project was designed for a cycling enthusiast with a globally demanding professional career, who wanted to create a place that could serve as both a retreat of solitude and a hub for gathering with friends and family. Located within the town of Graton, California, the site was chosen not only to be close to a small town and its community, but also to be within cycling distance to the picturesque, coastal Sonoma County landscape. Taking the traditional forms of farmhouse, and their notions of sustenance and community, as inspiration, the project comprises an assemblage of two forms - a Main House and a Guest House with Bike Barn - joined in the middle by a central outdoor gathering space anchored by a fireplace. The vision was to create something consciously restrained and one with the ground on which it stands. Simplicity, clear detailing, and an innate understanding of how things go together were all central themes behind the design. Solid walls of rammed earth blocks, fabricated from soils excavated from the site, bookend each of the structures. According to the owner, the use of simple, yet rich materials and textures...“provides a humanness I’ve not known or felt in any living venue I’ve stayed, Farmhaus is an icon of sustenance for me".

This modern farmhouse–style master bathroom became a bright, airy retreat defined by bold black metal fixtures, a warm wood vanity, and soft neutral tones. Subtle white tile keeps the space calm and refined while balancing the striking contrasts, turning a once-generic development bathroom into a serene, one-of-a-kind master escape that blends rustic charm with modern sophistication.

Designed to embrace an extensive and unique art collection including sculpture, paintings, tapestry, and cultural antiquities, this modernist home located in north Scottsdale’s Estancia is the quintessential gallery home for the spectacular collection within. The primary roof form, “the wing” as the owner enjoys referring to it, opens the home vertically to a view of adjacent Pinnacle peak and changes the aperture to horizontal for the opposing view to the golf course. Deep overhangs and fenestration recesses give the home protection from the elements and provide supporting shade and shadow for what proves to be a desert sculpture. The restrained palette allows the architecture to express itself while permitting each object in the home to make its own place. The home, while certainly modern, expresses both elegance and warmth in its material selections including canterra stone, chopped sandstone, copper, and stucco.
