A custom millwork piece in the living room was designed to house an entertainment center, work space, and mud room storage for this 1700 square foot loft in Tribeca. Reclaimed gray wood clads the storage and compliments the gray leather desk. Blackened Steel works with the gray material palette at the desk wall and entertainment area. An island with customization for the family dog completes the large, open kitchen. The floors were ebonized to emphasize the raw materials in the space.

This kitchen is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The sheer size is jaw-dropping, but the details are just as special. This design uses a dark mahogany wood stain, in contrast to a white food prep island and white countertops, and maintains clean lines and a consistent feel with the size and shape of the first island echoed in the dining island and even the living room couch. On either side of the kitchen are beautiful, handmade cabinets, one hosting ample pantry storage, and the other the primary appliances, while further into the room 2 more units provide a wine and coffee bar, and a lovely space to store and display fine dishes (accented with decorative frosted glass). Luxury seeps through every pore of this kitchen, but so, too, does a certain warmth that comes with a space designed for hosting and providing your guests with their own luxury experience. The lighting in this room finishes the space off with an intriguing, industrial touch, once again reiterating that kitchens can be fashionable and functional at the same time. PC: Fred Huntsberger

The Living Room is one of the first rooms seen right off the entry so the interior design demanded something unique. Strong color was added and curves in furnishings and patterns to offset all the rectangular shapes so the room is softer. This room sets the stage for what is to come throughout. Not your typical "only neutral colors" seen in most Modern Farmhouse architecture, they are there, but there is a layer of specifically selected colors added. The color palette moves you through the entire house utilizing different percentages of selected colors so each room feels like its own design but holds together with all other rooms.

The side of the staircase was a natural place to create a built-in TV and entertainment center with adjustable shelving and lots of storage. This space is bright and welcoming, and the open floor plan allows for easy entertaining. Welcome to this sports lover’s paradise in West Chester, PA! We started with the completely blank palette of an unfinished basement and created space for everyone in the family by adding a main television watching space, a play area, a bar area, a full bathroom and an exercise room. The floor is COREtek engineered hardwood, which is waterproof and durable, and great for basements and floors that might take a beating. Combining wood, steel, tin and brick, this modern farmhouse looking basement is chic and ready to host family and friends to watch sporting events!
