“Assisting a creative and accomplished design professional like Ryan Hughes with his personal residence involves a collaboration unlike any of our commercial projects. Ryan was the design decision maker and force behind this strong and beautiful home. We acted as sounding board, and documented the ideas he envisioned for finishes and interior architecture. Ryan chose all furnishings and art throughout. His goal to have a “simple cottage getaway” is energized by his choices throughout: confident furniture shapes, rich colors, and an expressive collection of art. Located in the Mado Hamlet in the Serenbe community, this little powerhouse of a cottage is an intimate gathering place and getaway since 2020.”

It may be a simple cottage getaway but it’s a masterful collaboration. Impactful and creative the Hughes Residence by Smith Hanes.
