In this warm modern home, integration was just as important as performance.

Panel-ready Sub-Zero refrigeration, freezer columns, a beverage center, Cove dishwashers, and a Wolf induction range support everyday living while remaining visually integrated into the architecture. Paired with a custom blackened steel hood enclosure, these elements help preserve the calm atmosphere of the open-concept first floor.

The result is a cohesive architectural experience where the kitchen, dining room, and living spaces feel unified through material, proportion, and restraint.

Can you guess how many slabs this 3’ x 5’ shower took?
Eight.

Not because the shower is large, but because every surface was wrapped in stone. Walls, ceiling, bench, niches, and drain detail were all carefully coordinated to create a seamless result.

Before installation, every slab was selected, photographed, and laid out. Veining, seam locations, material yield, fabrication drawings, lighting integration, and installation sequencing were all resolved before the first piece was set.

The luxury isn’t just the stone. It’s the level of coordination required to make it feel effortless.

Calm by design.

The primary suite at Ravine Reimagined was conceived as a retreat immersed in the surrounding landscape. Expansive windows by Kolbe Windows & Doors frame views of the ravine and Lake Michigan, while warm wood, natural stone, and layered textures create a sense of quiet throughout.

Designed in close collaboration with ANDREA GOLDMAN , every element contributes to a cohesive experience where architecture, furnishings, and nature work together.

Every project begins with understanding what’s there.
For this Northbrook renovation, that meant stepping into an 80s-era layout and seeing what it could become.
Take a tour of what was—and a look at the nearly completed transformation of the kitchen.
Thinking about your own renovation? We’d love to hear from you.
