We love the concept of recycling, especially when it involves Dwell magazine taking beautiful photos of our work from past feature stories and including them in new stories on dwell.com.
First up: In “How to Design with Mahogany,” posted on February 20, Dwell featured the mahogany cabinets we created for the Oakview house, which was originally featured in the story “An Angular Futuristic House in Georgia” in 2013. (You can read more about that Dwell story on our blog and see a lot of great photos from the project in our gallery feature.)
Dwell’s introduction to the February feature sings the praises of mahogany:
Every variety of wood has its own personality. Rich yet restrained, mahogany is a soothing presence. Here’s how seven modern homes put it to use.
We share Dwell’s appreciation for mahogany (as you’ll see if you browse through our work), and we’re honored to be included in this gallery.
Bonus detail: The mahogany used for these cabinets — and all of the cabinetry in the Oakview home, including a cool Murphy bed — was rescued from the cancelled US Navy PT Boat program.
Spotlight on modern bathrooms
The second instance of Dwell admiring our work enough to mention it twice is also drawn from Dwell’s original feature article on the Oakview home.
This time around, it was eye-catching bathroom cabinetry that made it into a slideshow feature.
“Modern Bathroom Design, Remodeling, and Decor Ideas” opens this way:
Browse beautiful and innovative bathroom designs from the pages of Dwell and get inspiration for your own bath tile, toilet, bathtub, bath sink, and shower
Here’s the “slide” featuring one of the bright Oakview bathrooms:
(We do need to correct one important detail on this one: The brilliant-red floating vanity and powder-coated steel top are Dark Horse originals. The sink is made by Kohler.)
Thanks for the kudos, Dwell — feel free to feature our work any time!
