Designing for yourself is a particular challenge. Even so, we recognized early that something extraordinary was concealed within an unremarkable shell.
Set within Omaha's Regency neighborhood of wide, tree-lined streets and walkable paths, the townhome had spent decades apologizing for itself. Our task was to end the apology.
We took the structure to its bones and began again. The brief was exacting in its simplicity: make it feel inevitable. Not a renovation, but a revelation. As though the home had always been this way from the moment its foundation was set.
Every decision was measured against that standard. Proportion. Material. Millwork. Light.
The drawing room was defined by deep slate walls and a single monumental work. The kitchen introduced graphic mural surfaces anchored by an anthracite Lacanche range. In the primary dressing room, a continuous terrazzo pattern moves from floor to wall without interruption, set against deep cobalt.
The project drew the attention of Architectural Digest, which featured it in a major editorial spread.
