With a neutral color palette and artful layering of light and dark themes, this transitional Dunthorpe residence was recast with an eye for relaxed and sophisticated spaces with obliging flexibility for entertaining. The tactile surprise of textures from gilt to linen to suede and grasscloth create an interior with a play of light and shadow throughout.
A media and gathering room ideal for casual entertaining.
Living Room designed to maximize the northern light.
“This kitchen was a challenge because the space is not large, and the clients are avid cooks. The layout was complex to accommodate everything they wanted: two dishwashers, full-height wine cooler, 48” fridge, professional-grade range, freezer drawers, warming drawer, built-in expresso machine, flat screen, and all the storage. In addition, this was the dark side of the house, and we wanted to maximize what light was there. The box beams added some visual volume to the room.”
What clients request most: generous islands and high quality appliances. There is always a balance to strike between durability offered by manufactured options and the beauty and “soul" of living materials.
