Contemporary, Open Floor Plan Living Room

Low furniture pairs with large windows to make the most of the beautiful views beyond. The living room and family room are distinguished by a jewel box, pop-up ceiling. Stainless steel accents on the lighting valance provide a perceived separation of space while leaving an open floor plan.

Custom Storage in Open Floor Plan Living Space

Storage was a priority for the homeowners, who are retired and frequently host grandchildren. Built-ins are used in almost every room, so that toys and games can be easily concealed behind the beautiful zebrawood millwork. The custom banquette set into the window is one of many throughout the home but this is the favored location for the the matriarch of the family to host her grandchildren.

Contemporary Home Office Doubles as Guest Suite

This multi-purpose room has clever tricks up its sleeve. The space functions as a home office most of the time, but when overnight guests are in town, a Murphy bed comes down between the bookcases. Built-in cabinets double as office storage and sleek nightstands. If the room needs more floor space, the desk also flips up to be flush with the zebrawood millwork.

Gallery-Inspired Hallway is Chic, Contemporary

Custom-dyed red leather flooring makes a striking statement in this all-white hallway. The sleek white walls make the perfect backdrop for displaying favorite pieces of art and little niches house contemporary sculptures.

Contemporary Art Gallery Hallway

The homeowners are avid art collectors and this niche in the millwork serves as the focal point of a gallery hallway designed to showcase larger pieces of their collection. Venetian plaster is used behind the sculpture to add a interesting velvety texture without distracting from the art.

Contemporary Master Bedroom is Restful, Inviting

The master bedroom is a showplace for custom furnishings. From the built-in banquette to the bedding, all the furniture and upholstery is custom designed for this room. Silver leaf on the pop-up ceiling adds a note of glam, while a long upholstered headboard grounds the bed and makes a dramatic statement. Automated shades are controlled by a Lutron panel built into the side of the nightstand.
