Fresh food, fresh space. The Broad Street Roots Natural Kitchen location blends texture, light, and whimsy: photographs of plant shadows turned into wall coverings, semi-opaque panels by mothpaper that mimic sunlight through trees, and dots + gingham by jujuwallpapers

Small moments from projects rounding the corner toward finished.

The big moves are in place. Now it’s the details, the layers, and those last decisions that make a space feel entirely its own.

Houses We Love, No. 01
A new monthly series. This one’s from Val, sharing the homes, spaces, and people that have shaped how she sees and thinks about design.

Starting at the age of 22, Liza Macray and John Corcoran were my beacon regarding what design was and what being in the presence of great design felt like in your belly and bones.

All of their spaces are uncompromising down to the smallest detail.

This is the green home they built together with their own hands, located in Tivoli, NY. This is the town where I opened, owned, and operated two restaurants and a bakery.

They put my life on a direct trajectory. They are still my guides.

The Laurel House was never about making a new house look old, but creating a sense of history and resonance that felt natural to the place.

Set among the rolling countryside of Pipersville, we looked to the warmth and character of an English country manor: layering materials, pattern, collected pieces, and architectural details that feel as though they could have accumulated over generations.

Nothing too precious. Nothing too perfect. A home with depth, personality, and a strong sense of belonging.

A country manor was born.

When Eric and Larry returned to Studio IQL for their second project with us, it felt like a reunion of minds and hearts.

After completing their Philadelphia pied-à-terre, we found ourselves together again, this time in the bucolic farmland of Pipersville, where a 1990s developer-grade home sat against forever-wild state land near New Hope.

The setting had history and beauty. The house needed the same.

Our goal was to give it character, resonance, and a sense that it had evolved here over time.

Introducing The Laurel House!

The best review of a bathroom? The owners tell us their showers now last an hour. Beautifully considered and designed to make the everyday feel a little more indulgent.
