This classic contemporary home blends elevated finishes with unexpected design moments—creating a space that feels both refined and full of personality. The client wanted a fresh, timeless aesthetic with a touch of drama, and the result is a beautifully layered interior where clean lines meet bold choices.


A show-stopping bar area serves as the heart of the home’s entertaining space, complete with undercounter lighting, backlit shelves, and a dedicated wine fridge. In the entryway, graphic wallpaper sets the tone with style and confidence. Throughout the open concept kitchen and dining area, bold light fixtures add a sculptural element, while black grid windows bring in natural light and architectural charm.
The living room features a brick fireplace that adds warmth and texture, while a sleek office space balances function and style. Each element was selected to create a cohesive yet surprising environment that reflects the client’s personal taste.
This home proves that classic design doesn’t have to be predictable—sometimes the most timeless spaces are the ones that surprise you.
