Discover the modern architecture, eclectic aesthetic, and innovative design tips from our latest project, The Summit Estate.

In this luxurious mountain home, we seamlessly blended our client’s personal style with the Studio McGee perspective to create a space that feels relaxed yet elevated. The home’s modern architecture is complemented by the warmth and character of textural materials and interesting layers. Key highlights include the use of rich, natural materials like stone and wood to add depth and warmth, paired with sleek, modern accents in furniture and fixtures. Throughout the home, we embraced pattern and color to achieve the fun and funky aesthetic our client loves. Each room was thoughtfully designed to maximize the breathtaking views, ensuring that every corner of The Summit Estate feels both inviting and grand. Explore our design tips from this project to inspire your own home transformation.

For an English-inspired look, consider lowering your cabinets slightly. This approach works especially well in rooms with tall ceilings, helping to create a more balanced feel.

In an open-concept kitchen and dining room, pair oversized pendants with a linear chandelier to ensure a cohesive space with a natural flow.

For a unique and personalized touch, customize your picture frame mats. Here, we used a patterned fabric mat to create an eclectic look.

Pair colors and patterns for a playful vibe. Mix vibrant hues with bold prints to create a lively and personality-filled space.

For a cozy and unified effect, wrap the entire room in the same wood stain. This approach creates a warm and cohesive feeling.

Design Tip

Break up vast expanses of drywall with textured wall treatments like stone. This will introduce warmth and coziness that plain white walls often lack, adding depth and character to your space.

Color-block smaller spaces for a dramatic and eye-catching look. This technique not only adds a bold statement to compact spaces but also enhances the room’s overall aesthetic.
