Selected project

Black windows, white cabinetry, and a lot of daylight.

A contemporary house taken room by room — kitchen, living, bedrooms and baths, with a screened porch on the end of it.

Modern kitchen with white cabinets, island, large black-framed window, pendant lights, and wood accents, with a view of trees outside.

Light first, then everything else.

Black-framed glass on nearly every wall that could carry it, and the rest of the house kept pale enough to let the light move through it. White cabinetry, marble, brass, oak — a short list of materials used repeatedly rather than a long list used once.

It is a contemporary house that is not a cold one. The warmth is doing quiet work: wood overhead, brass that will go dull, and rooms furnished to be sat in.

Kitchen with white cabinets, marble countertops, a stove, open shelving with decorative items, a window with trees outside, and kitchen accessories like a vase with greenery, cutting board, and utensils.

Kitchen with white cabinets, a large black window, hanging glass pendant lights, and a marble countertop with decorative items and plants.

The kitchen holds the mornings.

Marble behind the range, glass pendants over the sink, and the window doing the rest. Open shelving where things are used daily and closed doors where they are not — the ordinary discipline that keeps a working kitchen looking calm.

Two glass globe pendant lights hanging over a kitchen sink with a view of a window with black framing outside.

Kitchen countertop with a sliced baguette, a knife, a dish towel, a bottle of olive oil, and decorative items including a white vase with flowers, a candle, and a wooden cutting board.

Open wooden cabinet filled with glassware, cups, bowls, books, and decorative items, with a stack of woven placemats and cloth napkins in front.

Rooms for the evening.

A stone fireplace with built-ins either side, a bar in the corner that earns its keep, and seating arranged for conversation rather than for a television. Layered, durable, and comfortable enough that nobody hesitates before sitting down.

A cozy living room with a white sectional sofa decorated with beige and rust-colored pillows, a wooden coffee table with a flower vase, a potted plant near a window with cream curtains, and a view of a kitchen area with white cabinets and modern art on the wall.

Living room with black armchair, side table, and decorative items, including books, vases, and plants, near a large window with curtains.

A black glass-front cabinet in a home interior with a white vase of daisies, a white ceramic table lamp, and a stack of books on top, with a framed abstract painting on the wall behind.

A built-in bar with three wooden shelves filled with liquor bottles, glassware, and candles, and a black cabinet with gold details beneath, located in a corner of a living room with a white wall and a doorway with a wooden door in the background.

And a porch to end on.

Screened, furnished, and looking straight into the trees. It is the room the family will use most between May and October, which is exactly why it was designed rather than left over.

A view through a sliding glass door into a screened porch with outdoor furniture and trees outside.

A built-in bookshelf with decorative items, framed artwork, candles, and vases, next to a tan armchair with a velvet pillow in a cozy living room.

Decorative shelves with a framed art piece, a geometric gold sculpture, a wooden container, a white vase with a green trailing plant, a black vase, and a set of black books with gold lettering.

A small dog with a white and brown coat lounging on a black leather sofa in a modern living room, with a window behind and decorative items on a wooden side table.

Quiet at the end of the day.

Bedrooms kept simple — wood overhead, a headboard with some give in it, lamps you can reach without sitting up. The bathrooms take the risks instead: a patterned powder room, a freestanding tub in front of a window, brass against dark tile.

A neatly made bedroom with a white upholstered headboard, six black and patterned pillows, two gray nightstands with white lamps, and a large window with beige curtains in a modern white room.
