Morgante Wilson Architects kept the metal beams exposed and painted them a charcoal color. The perimeter counter tops are concrete to add an additional nod to the industrial feel. Storage is added underneath the island. Shelving was placed in front of the windows and hidden behind glass doors. Werner Straube Photography

This is a bathroom project we completed for singer/songwriter Matt Dusk - the beautiful 12x24 marble tiles laid out in a brick pattern with minimal grout looks like one huge slab of stone. The incredible mosaic floor tile took 3 Artisans many, many hours to lay, piece by piece. Photography by Brandon Barre.

Michael Moran/OTTO photography We took a predictable suburban spec house and transformed it into a unique home of enduring value and family-centered design. The existing footprint was expanded where it needed it most: in the family and kitchen area, creating a large square room with open views to a protected nature preserve abutting the property. An unexpected glass canopy and teak entry door are clues that what lies beyond is hardly commonplace. The design challenge was to infuse modern-day functionality and architectural quality into a spec house. Working in partnership with Gary Cruz Studio, we designed the pared down, art-filled interiors with the goal of creating comfortable, purposeful living environments. We also sought to integrate the existing pool and rear deck into the overall building design, extending the usable space outside as a screened-in porch, a dining terrace, and a seating area around a stone fire pit.

Truly transitional bathroom, elements of contemporary and traditional style.
