Refreshing a Washington Victorian row house

Posted on Fri, 20 Sep 2024 by KiM

A family-focused light renovation for our Downtown Washington DC clients. Our clients asked us to embark on a quick and light refresh of their quaint 2500 square feet Victorian Row house just a few blocks away. They asked for a refresh for their busy family to have a place that felt familiar whilst renovations were embarking on their larger family home.
What a pretty, neutral, and almost minimal home created by Moore House Design. Absolutely loving that canopy bed situation and the sweet bay window vignette in the living room (it’s very ‘Oda & King‘ – IYKYK, featuring a table of theirs). Photos: Zack Dezon.

Second nature – a penthouse in Tribeca

Posted on Wed, 18 Sep 2024 by KiM

I had to share another new project by Sean Anderson, one that is a bit more sophisticated than his typical spaces but when you’re working with an expansive Tribeca apartment in New York I think it goes without saying that there’s an expectation to spice it up and make it classy. Contemporary but make it Sean Anderson moody. Photos: Haris Kenjar.

I’d love to share one of our recent projects where we transformed a 3250 sqft builder-grade home in suburban Markham into a personalized haven for a young family. They wanted a chic, low-maintenance space that reflects their lifestyle, with a focus on functionality and timeless design. The kitchen layout was completely reimagined with a spacious island, creating an open flow into the family room. The master ensuite was designed as a spa-like retreat with a walk-in shower and a large round tub. Throughout the home, we added plenty of storage solutions to keep it clutter-free while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere with neutral tones and natural materials. 
Teresa Leung of Studio Lii created such beauty in this home that is simple yet classic and neutral yet very soothing. I can see myself playing with bits of colour and pattern and antiques in here to add some spice with this being an ideal starting point. Photos: Niamh Barry

Nestled amongst towering douglas firs with views of the Oswego Lake, our Southshore project is a respite of peace and quiet. Embracing minimalism and wabi sabi sensibilities, we sought to create a home that felt both expansive and intimate with an intentional connection to the outdoors and emphasis on natural materials.
What a beautiful, warm but expansive home with lots of light and views of the landscape just outside the windows. Designer Sara Gray of Grayhaus Interiors designed this forever home for her sister, who must be so proud. I can see the family enjoying this for many years to come, and thinking it’s just as cool 30 years from now.
