A HOUSE OF REFINEMENT
Nestled within ten acres between two rolling hillsides adorned with native oak trees, this splendid new 12,000-square-foot residence stands as a testament to harmonious design. Our stewardship over three years encompassed the meticulous orchestration of both interior architecture and design. We embarked on a journey to instill layers and depth, crafting bespoke wall and ceiling millwork that bestowed the spaces with tangible texture.
Though a new build designed by Talon Architecture, this dwelling emanates the time-honored essence of yesteryear, replete with the character and resonance of an older home. Maria Tenaglia Design conceived consistent interior beamed, planked, and paneled ceilings, wall wainscoting, full-height paneling, and a custom trim package, creating a tapestry of architectural intrigue. Every inch speaks to a devotion to finely detailed custom millwork.
The unity between spaces is forged through a sophisticated interplay of paint colors, wall coverings, tile, and stone, bridging both public and private realms and creating an interconnected narrative throughout. Every detail—from contemporary light fixtures to thoughtfully selected furniture and a discerning art collection—contributes to a design with a singular, cohesive impact.
The outcome is a residence that marries grandeur with intimacy, seamlessly intertwining comfort, elegance, and harmony within its impressive scale. The client’s joy is palpable, as they perceive in this creation an heirloom home—a paragon of lasting design and enduring quality to be cherished across generations.
