As a secondary residence, designer Abby Craighton wanted to create an inviting space suitable for both hosting and living. With concrete floors, walls of windows, and a very modern shell, this type of space could lend itself to feeling cold and not welcoming. By paying attention to the warm colors and cozy textures, Craighton gave the spaces the warmth needed without sacrificing the modern style. Blending in some dashes of industrial and masculine flair created the exact outcome the client desired and an outstanding final space!

We’re honored to share that this project received DSM Awards in both Lighting Design and Custom Furniture! A true testament to the power of thoughtful detail and intentional craftsmanship.
From sculptural, statement-making lighting that defines each space, to the fully custom-built bunk retreat designed to be as functional as it is beautiful, every element was created to elevate the way this home is experienced.
This project perfectly reflects what happens when architectural vision, creative design, and incredible clients come together.
We couldn’t be more proud of our team!! Help us give Jackie and Timothy a BIG congratulations!!! 🥳🥳

It’s DSM Awards week, and we’re continuing to spotlight our three nominated projects.
Up next: Jackie & Timothy’s Lighting Design.
This project uses lighting not just for illumination, but as a defining design element that elevates each space. In the powder room, globe pendants and a sleek vertical sconce layer light beautifully - highlighting the bold geometric wallcovering and marble vanity to create a true jewel-box moment.
The stairwell becomes sculptural with a cascading multi-light chandelier suspended through two stories, drawing the eye upward and emphasizing the home’s grand architectural scale.
In the lower-level kitchenette and dining area, a curated mix of statement pendants, sconces, and modern chandeliers define individual zones while maintaining a cohesive, moody atmosphere.
Here, lighting doesn’t simply brighten a room - it shapes the experience of it.
Stay tuned this Tomorrow as we celebrate the results!

It’s DSM Awards week, and we’re spotlighting each of our three nominated projects.
Next up: Abby’s Focus Space design.
When invited to stage this home for the Parade of Homes, Abby was given a stunning office with soaring ceilings and expansive windows. Full of potential, but not without its challenges. The unconventional dimensions required thoughtful planning to ensure the design both fit the space and complemented the home’s architectural style.
Every element was chosen to evoke a lifestyle that blends professionalism with personal comfort. A space where someone could envision both productive workdays and quiet moments to unwind.
The result is a refined balance of modern elegance and rustic warmth, natural wood tones layered with clean-lined furnishings to create a workspace that feels inspiring, grounded, and livable.
Stay tuned as we count down to the DSM Awards this Thursday.
