Natural shades of whites are balanced against textured quarter-sawn American walnut veneer millwork and wire-brushed wide plank european white oak flooring. With voluminous spaces and detailing applied in broad architectural format, the overall design relies upon its inhabitants as the final warming elements of the architecture.
