This ocean-front shingled Gambrel style house is home to a young family with little kids who lead an active, outdoor lifestyle. My goal was to create a bespoke, colorful and eclectic interior that looked sophisticated and fresh, but that was tough enough to withstand salt, sand and wet kids galore. The palette of coral and blue is an obvious choice, but we tried to translate it into a less expected, slightly updated way, hence the front door! Liberal use of indoor-outdoor fabrics created a seamless appearance while preserving the utility needed for this full time seaside residence. photo: Michael J Lee Photography

One of the keys to visually striking contemporary design is the reliance on traditional architectural ideals such as symmetry to ground the space, allowing the modern element to impressively spring forward. In the contemporary foyer created for this Bloomfield Hills home in 2015, the imposing nine foot tall mahogany entry door, set into the drywall to create depth and heft, is flanked by symmetrical side lights and topped with transom windows to admit light and friends into the welcoming entry. The vignette does double duty creating a solid foundation from which the eye can travel to the captivating spiral staircase that dominates the space. The two story corkscrew design has horizontal spindles that echo the lines of the front door, creating visual synergy and continuity of form within the space. Walnut floors offer a cool counterpoint to the warm mahogany and integrate the foyer seamlessly into the rest of the home.
