Dark kitchen with two islands, black veined stone, fluted oak and linear glass pendants

Marble-topped kitchen table with sculptural leather chairs beside the island

Dark, modern and grounded in the landscape.

A modern mountain home with a moody, tailored palette: smoked oak, black veined stone, plaster and matte black metal under warm wood ceilings. Walls of tall windows frame the hillside views, and every room balances dark materials with soft, tactile pieces.

Kitchen & Dining

Dining room with black oak table, boucle chairs, sculptural chandelier and large abstract painting

Gallery hallway lined with tall black-framed windows under a wood ceiling

Two islands in black veined stone and fluted smoked oak sit under a plaster hood wall and linear glass pendants, with a marble-topped table for casual meals.

The dining room pairs a black oak table with soft boucle chairs and a sculptural chandelier, and a gallery hall of floor-to-ceiling windows connects the house to the hillside.

Primary Suite

Primary bedroom with black slatted wall, camel upholstered bed and tall window to the mountains

Freestanding tub against a wall of dark wood-look basketweave tile with a black stone niche

Curbless shower in large-format marble with matte black fixtures

A black slatted wall and a camel upholstered bed frame the mountain view. In the bath, a wall of dark basketweave tile with a long black stone niche wraps the freestanding tub, beside a curbless shower in large-format marble.

Laundry

Even the working rooms get the same care: oak cabinets with open grid fronts, charcoal counters, a dark terrazzo floor and a cluster of linen drum pendants.
