Custom New Build 3,001 to 6,000 square feet

Wood Inspired

The homeowners used their love of wood and natural elements to source unique wood materials for this home, using it throughout to showcase their design ideas. The goal was to create a show-stopping home that the homeowners could use as a personal showcase for their clients.

The design team’s biggest challenge was incorporating all the different wood types and materials so that the home still felt cohesive. They had walnut cut in multiple ways, eucalyptus and other exotic woods. Together they fought for dominance, so it was a challenge to use all the different types of wood the owners loved and still create a sense of harmony.

The  solution was to closely study the materials and work to let some shine while others stayed in the background. Continuous use of the black base color really helped to achieve this.
