In collaboration with Ripple Design Studio, this project transformed a home nestled in a serene, wooded area through a comprehensive remodel and significant addition. Inspired by the simplicity of Nordic modern farmhouses and the relaxed vibe of California-casual design, the exterior boasts a striking inky gray-black that blends seamlessly with its lush hillside surroundings. Inside, the design features a warm, textured palette of white oak, gray concrete, and handmade glazed tiles, creating a cohesive yet uniquely detailed atmosphere throughout the home. Special attention was given to selecting furnishings and fixtures, emphasizing handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces crafted from natural materials like linen, wool, stone, and ceramics, enhancing the home's connection to nature and artisanal quality.
