R O S E W O O D

Rosewood started as a blank page. New construction, nothing to work around, and a client who knew what he wanted: clean lines and a masculine palette. So the house runs on blues and neutrals, white oak does most of the talking, and everything else stays deliberately minimal. Color shows up the way art does, a single pop of blue, pink or red in a room that is otherwise quiet. The office and the guest suite lean softer, so the house has more than one note.

He is a collector, so the house was built to display. The lighting has movement, there is a place for everything, and the stone was always meant to stand out. Strong lines in the bathrooms, texture in the columns, veining that would overwhelm a smaller space but sits easily against neutral walls and floors. The man cave is the one dark room, a backlit bar in the shadows, and it works because everywhere else is already bright.
