A new vestibule features custom casework to house storage for clothing, shoes, and other daily essentials. The brightly finished wood and varying door sizes add a sense of visual intrigue to the practical designs. This built-in wall storage extends into the living area, where smaller inset shelves and integrated seating provide space for decorative displays, and invite moments of gathering and rest. Nestled between the casework is a custom-designed, eggshell-white cast stone fireplace. Its modern mantle, characterized by clean geometric lines, roots the open lounge-kitchen concept.

One of the most important spaces in this residence is the kitchen, thoughtfully designed as the centerpiece to the family's lifestyle of cooking and entertaining. We opened up a pre-existing back wall to make room for a newly designed island, featuring an indigo-colored base and an exquisite marble countertop. Additional casework in the same indigo-blue provides ample storage, and a bar area opposite the island sets the family up for continuous entertaining.
