The kitchen in our Southwood Project exudes a blend of modern elegance and warmth. Cream-toned cabinetry (painted “Piano Room” by Portola Paints) is highlighted by rattan pendant lights that softly illuminate the space while simultaneously adding texture and visual interest. The unlaquered brass hardware and plumbing fixtures from deVOL add a touch of vintage charm, while the sleek Venetian plaster range hood ties the whole design together, offering a sophisticated yet contemporary aesthetic. The Calacatta Viola marble countertops are a luxurious focal point, perfectly contrasting the espresso-stained kitchen island. Our designer said, "Originally, we had a more simple marble selected. But once we sat on it, we realized we needed something to create more depth and layer. The cabinetry and vent hood highlight clean lines and a monotone color palette, so by adding the Calacatta Viola marble we created that WOW factor while maintaining the minimalistic look we wanted." Together, the selections in the kitchen create a harmonious balance of texture and complimentary colors, inviting both culinary creativity and leisurely gatherings in this beautifully designed space.
The living room is a stunning blend of modern design and openness, anchored by a striking handmade unlaquered brass light fixture that casts a warm glow throughout the space. Large windows and sliding doors flood the room with natural light, enhancing the feeling of openness and connection to the outdoors. The Venetian plaster fireplace serves as a sophisticated centerpiece, flanked by floating benches that invite casual lounging and conversation. The staircase, with its clean lines and light-stained flooring, enhances the airy feel of the room. Layered decor and furniture bring a sense of history, featuring a curated collection of vintage antiques, artisanal pieces, and unique items that add character and charm. Rich textures, from plush textiles to rustic accents, create a cozy atmosphere, making this living room both stylish and approachable.
Flex rooms offer incredible versatility, adapting to the ever-changing needs of modern homeowners. For a growing family, this space can transform into a vibrant playroom, filled with toys and creativity. Couples may envision it as a stylish at-home office, providing the perfect environment for productivity. Meanwhile, individuals seeking relaxation might turn it into a cozy media room, complete with plush seating and a state-of-the-art entertainment setup. Whatever the need, the flex space in the Southwood Project serves as a canvas for personal expression, ensuring that each homeowner can tailor the room to fit their lifestyle seamlessly. The built-in bookcases with tongue-and-groove detailing (painted “Piano Room” by Portola Paints), along with brass light fixtures, elevate the space—making it both functional and stylish.
The primary suite is a serene oasis that effortlessly blends modern elegance with functional design. Featuring stunning Arabescato Corchia countertops, the space is anchored by flat-front cabinetry that boasts clean lines for a sleek aesthetic. Polished nickel accents add a touch of sophistication and timelessness, while handmade wall sconces cast a warm glow, enhancing the tranquil ambiance. Curved wall mirrors soften the room's geometric features and symmetry, creating a harmonious balance. Oversized limestone pavers provide a luxurious foundation, complementing the floating vanity that enhances the airy feel. A stand-alone bathtub invites relaxation, creating a spa-like retreat.
In the bedroom, large sliding glass doors open to an airy balcony, beautifully connecting the primary suite to the outdoors. Natural light to flows in and creates an inviting atmosphere.
