The home’s entrance is where we welcome guests, friends and family. It is your first impression, reflecting the personalities of a young family with an active lifestyle and discerning taste.

With as much thought and detail as its arterial rooms, the foyer was designed to create a visual connectivity between its adjoining spaces. A layering of subdued colors, textures and shapes has been used with a sophisticated design palette of dusty blues, coppers, charcoal grays and creamy whites, providing a neutral backdrop to the deep espresso wood finishes. The furniture selection has ‘lifestyle’ in mind with an efficient series of surface areas and seating. The hall table was strategically placed as a focal point or surface for freshly cut flowers. Directly off of the dining area is an opportunity for a buffet service, as an extension of the dining room and ideal for entertaining. It is the details that set this space apart!
