""I wanted something that was calm and peaceful-a respite from buzzing city life, but I also travel a lot and needed something comfortable that I could come home to. A lot of the reference images we were pulling were Japanese in terms of clean lines and spare rooms. The wood wasn't something that I was necessarily expecting, but once Neal suggested it, I couldn't unsee it. It's so calm and peaceful and perfectly suited to the space.""
""That's because Beckstedt-with some fastidious intervention by his go-to millworker, whom the designer practically has on speed dial-made sure that the varying wood grains aligned with care. "Every board is a continuous length and a perfectly imperfect match with the boards around it," Beckstedt explains. "It's very tailored, super structured, and extremely precise." To differentiate the spaces and imbue each room with depth and character that enhances the sense of tranquility,"
A client sought a calm, peaceful respite from buzzing city life and a comfortable home for frequent travel. Japanese references informed clean lines and spare rooms, guiding the minimalist aesthetic. The decision to use wood required precise millwork so continuous boards align as perfectly imperfect matches. The result is a tailored, super-structured, and precise wood-clad environment. The scheme layers soothing blues and greens with varied patterns and materials. Tinted concrete counters, vintage ceramics, leather and oak furnishings, and a mix of midcentury and custom pieces add depth, drama, and visual interest while maintaining calm.
