This mid-century mountain modern home was originally designed in the early 1950s. The house has ample windows that provide dramatic views of the adjacent lake and surrounding woods. The current owners wanted to only enhance the home subtly, not alter its original character. The majority of exterior and interior materials were preserved, while the plan was updated with an enhanced kitchen and master suite. Added daylight to the kitchen was provided by the installation of a new operable skylight. New large format porcelain tile and walnut cabinets in the master suite provided a counterpoint to the primarily painted interior with brick floors.

After approaching Matter to renovate his kitchen in 2020, Vance decided it was time to tackle another area of his home in desperate need of attention; the dining room, or more specifically the back wall of his dining room which had become a makeshift bar. Vance had two mismatched wine fridges and an old glass door display case that housed wine and spirit glasses and bottles. He didn’t like that everything was on show but wanted some shelving to display some of the more precious artefacts he had collected over the years. He also liked the idea of using the same material pallet as his new kitchen to tie the two spaces together. Our solution was to design a full wall unit with display shelving up top and a base of enclosed cabinetry which houses the wine fridges and additional storage. A defining feature of the unit is the angled left-hand side and floating shelves which allows better access into the dining room and lightens the presence of the bulky unit. A small cabinet with a sliding door at bench height acts as a spirits bar and is designed to be an open display when Vance hosts friends and family for dinner. This bar and the bench on either side have a mirrored backing, reflecting light from the generous north-facing windows opposite. The backing of the unit above features the grey FORESCOLOUR MDF used in the kitchen which contrasts beautifully with the Blackbutt timber shelves. All shelves and the bench top have solid Blackbutt lipping with a chamfered edge profile. The handles of the base cabinets are concealed within this solid lipping to maintain the sleek minimal look of the unit. Each shelf is illuminated by LED strip lighting above, controlled by a concealed touch switch in the bench top below. The result is a display case that unifies the kitchen and dining room while completely transforming the look and function of the space.

Our client is a traveler and collector of art. He had a very eclectic mix of artwork and mixed media but no allocated space for displaying it. We created a gallery wall using different frame sizes, finishes and styles. This way it feels as if the gallery wall has been added to over time. Photographer: Stephani Buchman

This was previously a sitting room, we did little work in here, other than adding a light to hang a chandelier.
