Craftwork
Every piece of a project, no matter how minor, reinforces and enhances the overall design. Here are some of our favorites.
The client had this wonderful model of a ship built by her grandfather when he was 12. The challenge was to display it properly. The coloration of the bar cabinets, shiplap siding, as well as the diagonal wine storage are all nautical references without being cliche. A new acrylic stand set the ship afloat.
Designed for a wine enthusiast, this dark and moody 3500 bottle wine cellar exudes old world charm, with a contemporary twist. The custom wine racks with lit display shelves, honed limestone floor, and the stunning contemporary gold chandelier combine to create a special setting that allows the wine to take center stage.
A modern adaptation of the central fire pit, this fireplace was specifically designed to end a stair and provide a pivot point between a kitchen, breakfast area, and family room. It was fashioned of heat-resistant concrete with a custom flue and glass doors.
The client had a large loft space with no intimacy. The solution was this custom shelving unit designed to divide the space while still providing transparency. The color was specifically chosen to add drama to space and visual weight to the piece.
Tucked under a stair, every inch of this powder room became valuable. The asymmetrical approach maximized mobility space and successfully addresses functional needs. The custom slab was a "boneyard" find. We designed it to support a vessel sink and provide some shelf space. Folding it up the wall to the frameless mirror enlarged the space. A large piece of art and an off-center modern sconce complete the scene.
The custom cabinetry of this Library was designed and detailed of antique heart pine to create a small and intimate space to relax and read. While based on historical documents, the detailing was provided by Ross Design. The glass doors and drop front desk are reminiscent of antique furniture.
Interior stairs don't have to be dark. Three large scale skylights flood this interior stair with an unexpected brightness. The custom iron railing opens up space and keeps the hallway bright as well.
Stair rails are events. We chose to make this one special by integrating a small bronze tile and brass rod into the steel assembly. A custom walnut handrail caps the whole assembly beautifully!
