Thin curtains let in soft natural light that bathes the living room. A reconfigurable fabric modular sofa, wood chairs, and layered rugs are arranged for flexibility and warmth—resulting in a cozy, undeniably alluring lounge.

Instead of upper cabinets, open shelving keeps the kitchen feeling airy and open. Minimal lower cabinets and a rounded-edge island are laid out for efficiency—so the space reads polished and effortlessly modern.

The bathroom’s matte green surfaces stand in vivid contrast to the red brick. A custom brick vanity and lively plant accents come together to form a beautiful, exotic sanctuary.
