Living

The "study" of this mid-century modern architect-designed ranch features built-in floor to ceiling bookcases, a "data closet" to store electronics and office supplies, a dedicated circuit for the TV and stereo and new maple wood floors . The chairs are "Flight" recliner chairs from Design within Reach in Portland. Photos by Photo Art Portraits.

The homeowners of this 6,000-square-foot house in Delray Beach don’t have to go far for a night out on the town. We transformed two bedrooms with a connecting bathroom into an entertainment wing with a true speakeasy vibe, right down to the hidden bookcase door that makes its entrance from the main living room quasi invisible. A moody, deep navy wallpaper with copper accents envelops the walls and layers together with rich woods and dark hues from floor to ceiling. The new movie room features custom built-ins, a home bar, a billiards table and the owners’ collection of vinyl records punctuated with a piece of Beatles-themed art that we sourced as an homage to the owners’ love of iconic films and music. The custom built-in wine fridge in the adjacent wine room houses their 250-plus collection of unique bottles the owners bring back from their frequent travels around the world. We pulled the moody palette into other areas of the home that needed reimagining, including the double-height living room, where we clad the fireplace in black and white materials and specified Tom Dixon’s lustrous Melt pendants to cascade over the space.

This artistic and design-forward family approached us at the beginning of the pandemic with a design prompt to blend their love of midcentury modern design with their Caribbean roots. With her parents originating from Trinidad & Tobago and his parents from Jamaica, they wanted their home to be an authentic representation of their heritage, with a midcentury modern twist. We found inspiration from a colorful Trinidad & Tobago tourism poster that they already owned and carried the tropical colors throughout the house — rich blues in the main bathroom, deep greens and oranges in the powder bathroom, mustard yellow in the dining room and guest bathroom, and sage green in the kitchen. This project was featured on Dwell in January 2022.

Living room designed with great care. Fireplace is lit.

A graceful mid-century modern look that’s set in stone. Solid wood legs are topped off by an elegant marble slab for a clean, compact look that’s perfect for small spaces. It's a classic design that will transition through any style of seating. Mix and match with solid wood tables.

Keeping the original fireplace and darkening the floors created the perfect complement to the white walls.
