The Living Room

The heart of the living room is a concrete stair, which was designed and engineered as a bridge. It's an emblem of the multi-level room as a whole—equal parts beauty and functionality.

The Kitchen

Stainless steel, blond wood, open shelving, a backsplash and counter with an elemental feel, a brilliant mix of lighting and shocks of color make for a crisp, contemporary kitchen and breakfast area.
