Our client was drawn to sculptural pieces, like this live-edge dining table paired with a light by artist Nacho Carbonell, constructed of netting and bronze branches.
We wanted the main floor to feel elegant yet understated — comfortable, inviting, and seamlessly suited for gathering.

A strong collaboration between the architecture and interior teams led to a space that feels approachable yet has a sense of luxury. A serene palette and gentle texture ground this space to create a spa-like feel.

A classic Cape Cod beach house. Sitting right on the waterfront, we curated a mix of contemporary yet coastal pieces to create a space that feels relaxed and refined.

Set between the harbor and Cape Cod Bay, a restrained yet refined space designed for quiet retreat. This oceanview office is anchored by a sleek Wüd desk, and a grand light fixture from The Future Perfect hangs above.

Across various projects of ours, we’ve had the privilege of incorporating Lindsey’s stunning lights. Every time we feel a sense of excitement and pride. Her collection not only illuminates our spaces but also adds a unique character that transforms any interior.

What was once a simple stone patio is now a fully realized extension of this home, designed for how the family actually lives.
Working alongside Elms Interior Design, we transformed this Needham backyard into a multifunctional, screened-in porch complete with an outdoor kitchen, dining area, lounge space, and fireplace. Wrapped in Benjamin Moore’s ‘Grenadier Pond’, the space feels both grounded and connected, blurring the line between indoors and out.
With retractable screens and integrated heaters, this porch is built for year-round entertaining, relaxing, and everything in between.

A cool gray palette brings a sense of modern sophistication to this conservatory. With windows left uncovered to maximize natural light, the space feels bright and open—anchored by a rich seating area with touches of color.

Behind the scenes at our Commonwealth Ave. project!
After more than two years of thoughtful design and craftsmanship, we’re nearing the finish line on this Back Bay home. Set within one of Boston’s most historic neighborhoods, this residence has been carefully reimagined to introduce a more contemporary rhythm—while honoring the character and soul that make it timeless.
A balance of past and present, detail and restraint. We can’t wait to share the final reveal.

We’re beyond excited to share our Cape Cod project in the May/June issue of New England Home.
Set on a truly stunning site with water in every direction, this home was designed to feel deeply connected to the land—embracing its surroundings in a way that feels both natural and effortless. This project was especially meaningful, as it marks our second collaboration with this wonderful client. Designing both their Boston home and their coastal retreat has been a true privilege—two homes that support entirely different ways of living.
In collaboration with Hutker Architects and Sea-Dar Construction, we set out to create a place of calm—a retreat where one can fully exhale. The interiors are open and inviting, with a quiet palette anchored by oak, from the beamed ceilings to the subtle divisions inspired by beach fencing. Every element was chosen to feel comfortable and lived-in—spaces where you can truly relax, settle in, and stay awhile.
We’re so proud of how it all came together and grateful for the team and client who made it possible.
Thank you to our incredible partners, our team, and of course, our client.
