This project began with inspiration images from the homeowners and evolved, through countless meetings and thoughtful design decisions, into a stunning home set in a serene landscape. A pivoting anodized metal door opens to a dramatic entry with floating wood stairs, steel supports, and glass railings, leading into a two-story living room defined by soaring windows and a statement fireplace that flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen. Each bedroom features a custom bath and closet tailored to its occupant, including a bold main-level powder bath wrapped in floor-to-ceiling black marble and a serene principal bath with caramel cabinetry and a chandelier suspended above the tub for a spa-like feel. We joined during the blueprint stage and transformed a divided layout into a multi-purpose game room with seven recliners, game tables, a custom 20-foot rug, motorized shades, blackout drapery, and locally sourced art, creating a space that easily shifts from family movie nights to large gatherings. Designed for both visibility and performance, the laundry room includes custom-printed marble floors, a herringbone backsplash, black doors, and riff-sawn oak cabinetry, along with dedicated lockers for each family member. As construction wrapped, we layered in custom stairwell chandeliers, art lighting, and a programmable whole-home system to balance task lighting with statement design. Anchoring it all is a white European oak floor imported from Italy, used throughout the home and reimagined in a herringbone pattern in the breezeway, while custom marble tile in the mudroom adds geometric contrast—bringing warmth, cohesion, and intimacy to this expansive contemporary home.
