Large modern front yard full sun formal garden in Denver with concrete pavers and with rock feature for summer.

The simple volumes of this urban lake house give a nod to the existing 1940’s weekend cottages and farmhouses contained in the mature neighborhood on White Rock Lake. The concept is a modern twist on the vernacular within the area by incorporating the use of modern materials such as concrete, steel, and cable. ©Shoot2Sell Photography

Perched above the beautiful Delaware River in the historic village of New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania sits this magnificent custom home designed by OMNIA Group Architects. According to Partner, Brian Mann,"This riverside property required a nuanced approach so that it could at once be both a part of this eclectic village streetscape and take advantage of the spectacular waterfront setting." Further complicating the study, the lot was narrow, it resides in the floodplain and the program required the Master Suite to be on the main level. To meet these demands, OMNIA dispensed with conventional historicist styles and created an open plan blended with traditional forms punctuated by vast rows of glass windows and doors to bring in the panoramic views of Lambertville, the bridge, the wooded opposite bank and the river. Mann adds, "Because I too live along the river, I have a special respect for its ever changing beauty - and I appreciate that riverfront structures have a responsibility to enhance the views from those on the water." Hence the riverside facade is as beautiful as the street facade. A sweeping front porch integrates the entry with the vibrant pedestrian streetscape. Low garden walls enclose a beautifully landscaped courtyard defining private space without turning its back on the street. Once inside, the natural setting explodes into view across the back of each of the main living spaces. For a home with so few walls, spaces feel surprisingly intimate and well defined. The foyer is elegant and features a free flowing curved stair that rises in a turret like enclosure dotted with windows that follow the ascending stairs like a sculpture. "Using changes in ceiling height, finish materials and lighting, we were able to define spaces without boxing spaces in" says Mann adding, "the dynamic horizontality of the river is echoed along the axis of the living space; the natural movement from kitchen to dining to living rooms following the current of the river." Service elements are concentrated along the front to create a visual and noise barrier from the street and buttress a calm hall that leads to the Master Suite. The master bedroom shares the views of the river, while the bath and closet program are set up for pure luxuriating. The second floor features a common loft area with a large balcony overlooking the water. Two children's suites flank the loft - each with their own exquisitely crafted baths and closets. Continuing the balance between street and river, an open air bell-tower sits above the entry porch to bring life and light to the street. Outdoor living was part of the program from the start. A covered porch with outdoor kitchen and dining and lounge area and a fireplace brings 3-season living to the river. And a lovely curved patio lounge surrounded by grand landscaping by LDG finishes the experience. OMNIA was able to bring their design talents to the finish materials too including cabinetry, lighting, fixtures, colors and furniture.

This image portrays a sleek and modern bathroom vanity design that exudes luxury and sophistication. The vanity features a dark wood finish with a pronounced grain, providing a rich contrast to the bright, marbled countertop. The clean lines of the cabinetry underscore a minimalist aesthetic, while the undermount sink maintains the seamless look of the countertop. Above the vanity, a large mirror reflects the bathroom's interior, amplifying the sense of space and light. Elegant wall-mounted faucets with a brushed gold finish emerge directly from the marble, adding a touch of opulence and an attention to detail that speaks to the room's bespoke quality. The lighting is provided by a trio of globe lights set against a muted grey wall, casting a soft glow that enhances the warm tones of the brass fixtures. A roman shade adorns the window, offering privacy and light control, and contributing to the room's tranquil ambiance. The marble flooring ties the elements together with its subtle veining, reflecting the same patterns found in the countertop. This bathroom combines functionality with design excellence, showcasing a preference for high-quality materials and a refined color palette that together create an inviting and restful retreat.

Large country courtyard and first floor deck in Denver with a roof extension and metal railing.

This modern custom home is a beautiful blend of thoughtful design and comfortable living. No detail was left untouched during the design and build process. Taking inspiration from the Pacific Northwest, this home in the Washington D.C suburbs features a black exterior with warm natural woods. The home combines natural elements with modern architecture and features clean lines, open floor plans with a focus on functional living.

This new three story Nantucket style home on the prestigious Margate Parkway was crafted to ensure daylong sunshine on their pool. The in ground pool was elevated to the first floor level and placed in the front of the house. The front deck has plenty of privacy due to the extensive landscaping, the trellis and it being located 6 feet above the sidewalk. The house was designed to surround and open up to the other two sides of the pool. Two room sized covered porches provide lots of shaded areas while a full gourmet outdoor kitchen and bar provides additional outdoor entertaining areas.
