Despite providing so much natural light, the window was always going to complicate things. Centering art above the buffet cabinet wasn't an option, so we leaned into the constraint and sourced three colorful pieces in a staggered layout instead. The result animates an otherwise neutral room and proves that a design problem, when approached with creativity, often yields the most interesting solutions.

Statement lighting is a studio favorite, and this fixture from Jiun Ho is a standout. Airy and distinctive, it brings presence to the room without adding too much visual weight.

This happy spot on our client's screened porch feels relaxed and casual in the best way possible. The custom color on the McGuire chairs is the detail that makes the whole thing come together.

The brief was to create an eat-in kitchen that actually works. Connecting the informal dining area directly to the main island eliminated redundant circulation and added flexible workspace in the bargain. Quartzite finished by and granite add a sense of cohesion.

Powder rooms are perfectly scaled for courageous decisions, and this monkey wallpaper is exactly that. A small room is an invitation to fully commit, and we rarely pass up the chance to make a bold statement.

Structured and studied, this bathroom looks deceptively simple, but the composition is deeply thoughtful. This space was beautifully executed by custom cabinets and construction.

We positioned this client's Julian Chichester writing desk to face outward toward the waterfront. The view does more to inspire productivity than any organizational system could.
