Designed in collaboration with a Chicago-based design professional, this personal project is a quiet expression of luxury—rooted in materiality, precision, and continuity. The result is a home that feels intentional, collected, and deeply personal.

The kitchen is anchored by Leicht cabinetry in a refined pairing of Tennessee Walnut and Bondi Carbon, balancing warmth with architectural restraint. Light and dark quartzites are paired across the countertops and full-height backsplash creating layered movement and contrast while maintaining a restrained, organic elegance.

A full suite of Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances integrates seamlessly, supporting the space without interrupting the clean, modern lines.

The palette extends throughout the first floor, creating a cohesive flow that allows materials and finishes to speak softly but confidently. A custom bar becomes a moment of pause—an elegant backdrop for the client’s pottery collection, where everyday objects are elevated to art.

Understated yet expressive, this project reflects the power of collaboration and the beauty of design that is both lived in and lived with.
