As city dwellers and very busy business people, our clients needed this modern home set in the woods to be a retreat and respite for their family of five. They wanted an “Aspen ski lodge” feel with some ethnic luxe details. We achieved this by layering, such as the marble in the entry and handmade lights by Heather Levine, a leather bench, wallpaper, great lighting, lots of Moroccan wedding blanket pillows, Swedish curly grey shearling skins on the furniture, and new hardware on built-ins. We were inspired by the natural palette seen through the big windows.
