Vallette
Inspired by the homeowners’ love of mountain architecture, this Elmhurst residence translates rustic character into a refined, contemporary family home. Engaged early in the design process, our studio worked closely with the project team to help shape the architecture itself, carefully considering room divisions, spatial relationships, and the integration of millwork to create a home that feels cohesive from the inside out.
A defining feature of the project is the custom wood beam design, developed as a modern interpretation of the mountain-inspired elements the homeowners were drawn to. Through thoughtful manipulation of scale, proportion, and material expression, the beams bring warmth, rhythm, and architectural character to the interiors while remaining aligned with the home's clean, contemporary aesthetic. Integrated cabinetry, tailored millwork, and carefully considered lighting reinforce a sense of clarity throughout the open living spaces, creating an environment designed equally for everyday family life and effortless entertaining.
