Our Chicago clients were seeking an escape from the cold, gray climate of the city for warmer surroundings and embraced the California desert and its natural landscape for their new home. A modernist home situated amongst a mountainous terrain, we designed the space to complement the wide-open vistas by bringing in natural tones and textures that spoke to the surroundings of the site. Both architectural and furniture finishes have a more relaxed approach incorporating brushed limestone flooring, warm hemlock wood ceilings paired with leathers, woven textiles and matte wood grain finishes. The scale of the home provided the perfect backdrop for our client’s diverse art collection to be appreciated up close and from afar while playing with the changing desert light throughout the day.
