This Deer Valley remodel appears effortless, but its simplicity was hard won. What seemed at first to be a straightforward renovation became a nine-month study in proportion, function, and value—an intentional process to ensure the investment would truly transform the way the home lived. By extending one exterior wall six feet, nearly 200 square feet was added to the footprint, creating meaningful expansion in the main living areas without compromising the home’s original character. Existing timber beams and stone elements were preserved, while a refined palette of light oak, warm woods, soft neutrals, and luminous surfaces brought new clarity to the interiors. The finished home feels relaxed, elevated, and deeply rooted in its Deer Valley setting.

Located in the heart of Silver Lake Village in Deer Valley, this mid-mountain remodel was driven by a desire to make the home live better without losing its connection to place. The interiors were reimagined to improve the use of space and invite in more light, replacing heavier visual moments with a softer, brighter material palette of pale wood, quiet stone, warm whites, and subtle contrast. Throughout the home, natural mountain elements were thoughtfully retained and reinterpreted, allowing the design to feel both refined and grounded. The finished result is bright, welcoming, and distinctly connected to its alpine setting.

Set in a prime ski-in ski-out location mid-mountain in Deer Valley, this single-family home was fully reimagined during the challenges of the Covid era. Designed for long-time clients whose family has grown significantly since our first remodel together, the home was thoughtfully redone to better support a busy, family-centered lifestyle while honoring its extraordinary setting. At the heart of the design is a bespoke fireplace, developed through close collaboration with a skilled mason and composed of a custom four-stone blend that gives the surround its rich, layered character. The result is a warm, inviting mountain retreat with a distinctly custom character—tailored for gathering, durability, and life after the slopes.

An exciting third project with one of my clients, this time in their home state, a retirement family home set in the woods. Designed with Bill Massey and built by the homeowners themselves who had a full career in construction. This house was truly a labor of love for 4 sons, daughters-in-law, and a growing group of grandchildren.

We cataloged and incorporated furniture and art purchased all over the world to truly make a unique and reflective home for this wonderful couple who devoted so much of themselves to commercial projects all over Chicago.

When one of my favorite clients from Park City invited me back east to work on her new construction home on the Saugatuck River, I jumped at the chance.  We worked so well together on her ski-in ski-out home, I knew her primary residence would be a joy to design.  Working extensively with Michael Greenberg and Associates talented architecture team, this project was 2.5 years in the making.

A remodel of a golf course home. Once again, we kept the supporting logs but changed the stain to a deep espresso. The kitchen was redone with a beautiful Sea Pearl quartzite slab taking center stage as the range hood. Per client request, we kept the palette a stark contrast of dark cabinets and light walls. All the furniture was updated with hardwearing, cleanable leather and accented in our owners favorite color, teal.

The master bathroom continues the high contrast palette and again features slab work as the main focus. This time, a Silver Wave marble slab as the back wall of the shower sets the tone for the space.

An update for a classic log and stone family mountain home. We kept the supporting logs but changed the red stain to a more appropriate gray wash and kept the flagstone quartz floors. The kitchen was overhauled with light, painted cabinets and integrated appliances. All light fixtures and furniture were updated with layers of texture and clean, beautiful lines. Blue, gray and yellow anchor the color palette both in fabric and in artworks. Plenty of seating was designed to accommodate eating, lounging, or game day for large and growing family. Our clients loved the rough, craggily stone of the two main floor fireplaces so we pulled the old log mantles out and left just stone and tvs.

A full renovation of a 1990 home where indoor outdoor living was a top priority. We were excited to incorporate accordion doors to fully open the reclaimed wood dining table to the woods and creek outside. The clients were so fun and vibrant, I wanted their home to reflect their very bright personalities. Graphic tiles, warm orange tones and organic meets modern materials combine to make this mountain home lively in all seasons.

A wonderful opportunity to remodel a private unit in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. We made the most of this 2.5 bedroom, 3 bath space with a flex room that can be used for dining, working, playing games or sleeping in the Murphey bed. The addition of a linear fireplace clad in masonry and steel adds a beautiful design element that has become the focal point of the room second only to the spectacular views. Unique bespoke features include grain matched walnut kitchen cabinets and integrated appliances, a custom falling leaf mosaic of marble and glass above the master tub, all custom furniture and a fun bunk room. Cleverly hidden and carefully planned, this space can sleep up to 12.
