In the primary bedroom, a custom platform bed sits within a framed white oak surround on the walls and ceiling.
A modern, 9,700-square-foot abode overlooking the Magothy River in Pasadena, Maryland, needed an update. Locust Grove Studios collaborated with Delbert Adams Construction on a thorough overhaul that knocked out walls, reconfigured the floor plan and revamped the glass-walled kitchen to take better advantage of the water views.
“Our client expressed a preference for calm, monochromatic tones,” recounts creative director Joe Karlik. “Our aesthetic could be described as ‘industrial light,’ with a muted palette of amber and honey hues complemented by dark steel.”
Cantilevered ceiling details mimic the structure’s concrete forms while also scaling the spaces down to feel more intimate. The firm sought local artisans and artists for site-specific custom furnishings, lighting and art, while a material palette of glass, metal, wood and leather, says Karlik, “becomes part of the home’s living texture.”
