The dining room is full of details and interest that are casual and formal at the same
time. “This space was designed with a nod to mid-century modernism. Texture contrasts
between the wood table, leather and gold chairs and the view make it approachable.,” he adds.
Since the kitchen is open to the dining and living areas there is a lot of storage behind hid-
den panels. The cabinetry was designed by Sandra Agurto of Cabinetry Creations.
In the ever-important master bath, “the quartzite countertop was selected for its earthy
colors and movement to be a juxtaposition to the clean white envelope. Its coloration is
quite similar to the preserve in which the room has views. It is bringing the outside in,”
Rob explains.
As a finishing touch he included bright and interesting artwork from local artists Krista
Berman, Martha Mahoney, Sandro Pelicie Perez and Shelley Lake for this fairly quick —
11 months — project. “Timing was crucial so the need for seamless communication and
coordination between design professionals was essential. It was a satisfying and fun collabo-
ration with local talents, a dream project. Everyone that teamed together on this project
was happy with the results. Then we all started teaming on new projects together with
enthusiasm,” he says.
The organic nature and coloration of the quartzite brings the coloration of the preserve into the master bath. Rohl fixtures,
porcelain tile floors and quartz countertops are complemented with warm wood accents and Martha Mahoney art.In the guest bedroom, the striking ceiling detail visually
expands the space; furnishings are from Nuevo, Elk and Sunpan.
