The mosaic floor of Calacatta Viola and Rosso Levanto from Marble Systems elevates the primary bath.

A new office features custom built-ins and a Poltrona Frau desk chair in the owner’s favorite color.

Suspended over the dining table, the Larose Guyon lamp was inspired by the sky lanterns of Southeast Asia. Pops of coral enliven the living room, most notably in DC artist Leslie Archer’s painting “Josephine.” A custom Michael Berman bench creates a cozy social vignette that can be easily reconfigured.

For an editor and his partner, a 4,008-square-foot penthouse in Washington, DC’s West End presented a place to host salons and intimate gatherings for colleagues and friends. But first a significant remodel was needed to address the condo’s dated feel. More open spaces were created along with ample storage for beloved books. The main living areas, kitchen and new office were top priorities, but all spaces received new lighting, paneling, upgraded finishes and furnishings.

Interior designer Andrea Maaseide dressed the rooms in an “elegant, but not too precious” style. Clean lines and modern elements contrast with furnishings that evoke a hint of Old World charm. A neutral, texture-rich palette is punctuated by dollops of coral and red—the owner’s favorite colors—bringing added warmth to this  convivial home.

Interior Design: Andrea Maaseide, principal, Casa Millie. Builder: Artisan Builders. Cabinetry: Lobkovich Kitchen Designs.

“The balance of tones, both light and dark, creates harmony and keeps the eye moving throughout this home.”
