Light. Height. Breathing room.
Back to work after an extended holiday weekend… but coming home should still feel like a reset.

For this project, we went vertical—maximizing the 22ft ceiling height and rethinking what a compact space can be. Instead of an afterthought or catch-all, this room was intentionally designed to feel like a true sanctuary of respite.

Designing spaces where life gathers.
Two homes, two stories, one purpose—bringing people together beautifully.
Happy Easter from Chris + Mae’s Design 🕊️

How important is a well designed foyer to the start of your day? Very.

For this home, our clients enter and exit through the foyer. Walking down the stairs with a grand art piece and chandelier in view is a daily reminder of the fruits of your labor. A last look in the mirror sparks the confidence needed to close that deal today.

Well designed function that evokes positive emotion. Chefs kiss.

Vision(noun)- the ability to think of or plan the future with imagination and wisdom. We knew this alcove in Project Nevada had the potential of much more than just shelving. The custom floating mirrors expand the space visually and serve function for a “last look” before heading down the elevator and out of the door.

You say primary suite, we say sanctuary.

Warm hues, luxe textiles, inspired lighting. Is it time to enhance your domaine?
