THIS PAGE: In a Richmond, Virginia, neighborhood infused with urban energy, this residence
reimagines suburban living with bold design and artful expression. Envisioned for a couple
with a passion for entertaining, the home reflects their cosmopolitan sensibilities, merging
modernity with timeless charm. The living room offers a seamless dialogue between dramatic
artistry and natural openness. Theresa Dorlini's custom-designed Corset Chair and Structure
coffee table command attention, each a singular work of art created exclusively for the
clients. Illan birch pendants with their airy, sculptural forms, add a playful rhythm to the room,
softening the architectural lines with a touch of organic elegance. A NanaWall extends the
room to the exterior, transforming it into a vibrant setting for outdoor gatherings.
At the center of the kitchen, a custom glass wine display serves as both a functional feature and a striking focal point.
Recessed-in-floor and ceiling lighting emphasizes its sculptural form, while Ice Black quartz composite surfaces
accentuate the space. Double islands separate culinary preparation from social areas, elevating the kitchen's role as a
hub for entertaining guests and family.
A haven of tranquility, the primary bath transforms daily rituals into indulgent experiences. A freestanding stone soaking
tub rests opposite polished porcelain slabs and softened by brass accents. Ambient lighting and minimalist fixtures
complete the space, evoking a serene and rejuvenating atmosphere.
FACING PAGE: A study in contrasts, the primary bedroom juxtaposes bold drama with quiet sophistication. Flat trim
inspired by Richmond's Georgian heritage introduces texture to black walls, while a lighted tray ceiling with gold
wallpaper casts a soft, radiant glow that enhances the room's allure.
Rooted in conviviality, the dining area is a celebration of form and pattern. A glass-top table and custom chairs define
the space with strong silhouettes, accented by reflective brass and a striking graphic fabric. Overhead, the wood veneer
tray ceiling adds understated richness. Together, these elements create a setting that balances modernity with warmth.
