Perched high above the city with expansive valley views, the Sunset Circle project was envisioned as a warm, grounded counterpoint to its modern prairie-style architecture. The goal was to soften the home through materiality — introducing natural, earth-based finishes that brought depth, warmth, and a sense of quiet continuity throughout the space.
Plaster walls, quartzite surfaces, and thoughtfully detailed millwork create a layered interior that feels both elevated and deeply livable. Custom storage solutions and an oversized peninsula anchor daily life, supporting the needs of a growing family while maintaining a calm, cohesive aesthetic.
Designed to balance openness, functionality, and warmth.
