On The Boards
Modern Condominium Design
This clean, uncluttered design for a young couple’s condominium showcases rich wood floors, light and dark marbles, and contemporary accents in glass and metals. The millwork design for the kitchen features bright white cabinetry with unique storage options and a combination of white and walnut materials. Classical sculptural furniture in monochromatic tones with pops of color create a livable “soft contemporary” space.
Sophisticated Urban Apartment
A sophisticated urban apartment plays light and dark neutrals together, offering contrast with subtle color. Soft upholstered pieces and solid squared shapes for tables and cabinets offer comfort with a bold statement. Texture is key to this design—not only in the fabrics and wood finishes, but also in the cut stone, mirrored and steel light fixtures and decorative accents. This is definitely urban sophistication at its finest!
Contemporary Studio Apartment
Shape and form create interest in this studio apartment. Rich woods, mosaic tiles, cut stones, metal accents, and glass add texture and interest. New materials such as molded synthetics are used for special features. Lamps and lighting fixtures glow with curved shapes to soften the sleek wood furnishings. Every fabric has a unique weave and soft touch. In a smaller space, it is more important than ever that each element be perfect in its contribution to the overall design.
Playful Tower Condominium
Sleek, fun and colorful are the key notes to this tower condominium. Unusual and playful accent pieces add to the artistic feeling of this creative person’s aerie in the sky. Fabrics are shot with color, lamps have shades like artists’ canvases, and clean-lined and strong furniture pieces hold the design together. Embossed resin materials are used for millwork and furniture details, and bright metals add sparkle. What a fun place to live!
Elegant Contemporary Bedroom
Soft and neutral, calm and serene, and outlandishly comfortable are words to perfectly describe this elegant, contemporary bedroom. Mosaic stones, metal leaf finishes on case goods, rich millwork, and brushed metals all add interest to this design. Each fabric is selected not only for its color palette but also for its distinctive weave. Sleek leather adds a different feel and look. Soft lighting, such as sconces, floor lamps, and table lamps, gives this special room a glow.
Ethereal Waterfront Home
A bright palette of reds, oranges, and greens sets the tone for this ethereal waterfront home design. Open spaces and white walls lend themselves to an eclectic, global, and tactile amalgamation of materials. Bamboo and stacked stone surfaces, grass-covered walls, sisal rugs, striking light fixtures and curvaceous pottery blend together to create a diverse textural and tonal mix. Clean, smooth lines on both the case pieces and seating intensify the contemporary and modern styling of this home. This residence incites the ultimate “wow” experience.
Island Dining Experience
Dining in a beautiful indoor/outdoor space is the ultimate luxury. In this stunning design, color is everywhere: textiles, mother of pearl mosaics, light fixtures and art. Shine is subtle but interesting, adding a special glow to soft evening light. Materials and lamps are distinctively textured, and reference shapes found in nature: waves, clouds, and fire. Everything is soft, gracious and unexpected. This very contemporary space is warm and welcoming, evoking feelings of calm and serenity. Everywhere the eye falls, there is something special to see.
Nature-Inspired Spa Design
Most spas found in history flourished because of the healing powers of hot springs and mineral waters. Water continues to be the core element in today’s spa and it is the primary focus in spa interior design. For this particular spa, overlooking water outside and in, textural materials were used to enhance the feeling of being with nature. Compressed bamboo is hung as wall accents and floors are made of bamboo as well. Other natural woods are contrasted with glazed mosaic tiles. Stone countertops look as if they were dredged from the bottom of the ocean, and innovative materials inspired by nature, such as leaves and seagrass, are embedded in resin. Large windows, glass ceilings and open space plans diffuse the pristine and unadulterated light. This spa design truly restores and pampers the body, mind, and soul.
Beachfront Entertainment Home
What fun! A house on the beach! This is a home truly meant for entertaining and pleasure. To achieve this “one with the beach” consciousness, the exterior played as strong a role in the design concept as the interior, if not more. The pool, with its clean lines and contemporary style, is a main focal point, accompanied by comfortable lounge seating, chaises and space for dining. Comfort and durability are important objectives in designing this space. The bar is exotic and exuberant, with spheres of light and sculptural stools. Texture is a key underlying element of the various materials that are utilized: sisal, mother of pearl, sea grass, woven rattan, shapely carved wood, and glazed and polished mosaics. This beach house exemplifies friendship, relaxation, good food and beautiful surroundings.
