The Sanctuary

Selected as Home #1 on the Artisan Home Tour 2026, The Sanctuary’s architecture is focused on creating a private backyard oasis centered around a reflecting pool. The living room's high ceilings, clerestory windows and wood ceilings create a bright, warm and spacious atmosphere. ​ Because the homeowners love having guests, we designed an open flow between gathering spaces and outdoor areas. We carefully oriented views from the entry and main living spaces to draw attention to the oasis. ​ Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography While most of the home is on the main level, we did design bedrooms located above the garage...

Morgan Creek Estate

At Morgan Creek Estate in Isle of Palms, South Carolina, the architecture defined the lighting solution. The dramatic cathedral ceiling called for a fixture that could occupy the exceptional vertical space while remaining light, refined and visually connected to the warm coastal interior. Working with Herlong Architects + Interiors, we created a custom Sunbeam chandelier composed of 42 handcrafted glass pendants in our White 124 glass. The pendants descend at varying heights through a 16.5-foot drop, creating a sculptural composition above the grand piano and main living space. Westmoreland Westmoreland A custom bronze ceiling mount was designed specifically for the cathedral ceiling, allowing the installation to become an integ... More

Beverly Park Estate - Custom Glass Lighting

Two bespoke glass chandeliers were created for an $89M private estate in Beverly Park, Los Angeles, developed by Paradigm Developers. Each installation was designed specifically for the scale, proportions and character of its architectural setting. Mike Kelley Mike Kelley Mike Kelley In the soaring entrance, the Bivalvia chandelier features 150 handcrafted glass pendants cascading from a five-foot ceiling plate through a dramatic 13-foot drop. The composition creates a sculptural vertical presence that fills the double-height space without overwhelming the architecture. For the wine room, the Snowflakes chandelier offers a more intimate interpretation of art glass lighting. Individually handcrafted glass pieces form a lumin... More

La Escondida

Located in a mature oak hammock, the clients of La Escondida requested a house that celebrated the lush vegetation and beauty of the landscape while also providing privacy for the family. The structure is oriented so the views from each room highlight specific trees. Michael Stavaridis Robin Hill Robin Hill The living spaces were aligned around the outdoor spaces to help connect the family’s everyday life to the oak hammock beyond; such a design has the added benefit of filtering daylight into each room. The cantilevered, master bedroom seemingly floats among the trees serves as one example, where morning sunshine is diffused softly through the leaves. Spaces like the kitchen and dining area overlook some of the more... More

Trevor Tower

As Indonesia's residential market continues to mature, many aging apartment developments face a common challenge: how can an existing building remain relevant to the expectations of today's luxury homeowners without requiring complete reconstruction? Trevor Tower in Gading Serpong explores this question through a comprehensive architectural and interior transformation that repositions an established residential tower into a contemporary high-end address. Mario Wibowo Commissioned to redesign both the architecture and interiors, INSADA approached the project as a holistic reinvention rather than a conventional renovation. The objective was to elevate the property's market positioning while maximizing the value of its existing structura... More

ONSEN

The concept is shaped around a preserved pine forest and natural thermal waters, where the idea of daily restoration is embedded into the very way of life. It is designed for people who value a balance between activity and quiet, who work in dynamic environments yet need regular physical and mental recovery without leaving the city.The key feature is the fusion of an urban квартал typology, suburban living, and a resort: perimeter block development forms a protected inner forest core, while the architecture operates below the tree canopy, avoiding competition with nature. The concept is reinforced by the Japanese philosophy of onsen — as a ritual of silence, water, and balance — expressed through spa infrastructure, thermal bath... More

The Landmark Foshan

01 Overview Designed by Shing & Partners, The Landmark is located in the central of Foshan Dongping CBD, with embracing the Dongping River, parks and public green lands. Similar to central business districts of many cities, the planning of Foshan New City follows a regular urban texture, with surrounding buildings generally adopting rational straight lines and cubes as their facade strategies, in order to correspond to their functional needs respectively. The highly sculptural architectural image of the Landmark has reimagined the core of the city, which is its reflection on the ideal city and a city statement that coordinates high-density high-rise buildings with sustainable liveable experiences. spdg 02 The elegance of restrain...

The Doon Residence

Nestled in a quiet residential neighbourhood in Gurugram, the Doon Residence makes a modern, distinctly minimalist statement. Tasked with bringing the family’s design sensibilities to life, the Picturesque Studio conceptualised the house to frame its ten-thousand square feet built fabric within strong linear profiles. The house is divided into two zones — the private and the semi private. A water body runs from the front to the rear lawn beneath a connecting corridor, lending a sense of calm to the place. Niveditaa Gupta The straight-line facade is a product of juxtaposed cuboidal volumes, bold in its form, and clad with earthy materials like beige and black leather finished granites and IPE wood. The use of industrial mat... More

Walled Garden House

We are delighted to have obtained planning permission for a residential development in the Leicestershire countryside.  Architectural designs provide a contemporary response to a sensitive historic setting in the vicinity of two Grade I listed buildings.  The eighth architects to have put forward proposals to the local planning authority, Woldon Architects design was developed via successful consultation with Historic England.  Where three poorly constructed estate cottages currently exist, a large house with underground parking and a cottage will sit comfortably in the setting of a highly attractive sloping walled garden with views over historic parkland. The designs for a new house along the north wall of this walled garde... More

Urban Serenity

Set along a rare twin-cove coastline with sweeping sea views, the property’s setting brings to mind beachfront locations on the American east coast, such as Amagansett on Long Island. To capture this spirit, the studio crafted a home that celebrates its connection to the picturesque surroundings. The design focused on creating the intimate and relaxed vibe, while offering the luxury of a contemporary city residence. Materials and colors were carefully chosen to incorporate casual and subtle textures, with shapes and patterns that recall elements of nature. Caption Caption Caption More

Apartment at DLF Magnolias

Designed for a modern-day family of four, the single floor apartment at the DLF Magnolias, in Gurugram manifests an unexpected evocative story that has been built through colour, textures, details, patterns, and forms that exudebeauty, adventure, eclecticism, and romance. The brief from the client was to have a house that felt like a home. The designers refrained from conforming to conventional notions of ‘style’ and instead crafted spaces that were inspired and ingenious. Since, no structural changes were allowed to be made, the biggest challenges faced were the constraints with respect to the positioning of the toilets, and the low ceiling height. Given the limitations of the layout, the designers have aimed to achieve the be... More

Madison Park House

Madison Park represents a response to an existing neighborhood and the need to both meet the clients’ aesthetic preferences and create a contemporary home suited to a mid-20th century environment. Benjamin Benschneider A façade softened by the use of natural materials and gable roof harmoniously grounds the geometries of the structure and its fenestration to both the landscape and its neighboring homes, resulting in a pleasing and unique presentation with a timeless quality achieved through balanced visual and textural elements. Benjamin Benschneider Outdoor living on an urban lot is made possible through the use of transparency and multiple points of access, with the primary living areas facing the lawn and connect... More

Hill House

Engaging in socially responsible architecture is an integral part of Hybrid’s philosophy of practice–that’s why for Hill House, the firm partnered with a longtime Seattle resident to turn their oversized lot into a total of three homes. Keeping the existing home, two additional lots were subdivided from the original parcel–one lot went to building a custom home for the existing home owner and on the other, Hybrid designed,  built, and developed the Hill House.   The Hill House site would have been overlooked by a typical developer due to the steep topography but because of Hybrid’s expertise as a designer and builder, the additional costs and construction hurdles were minimized from the beginning of...
