Open-Concept & Double-Height Interiors
Tired of feeling boxed in? We create homes that actually breathe. From double-height voids to seamless open-plan living, let's make your space feel bigger, brighter, and a lot more fun.
Looking down from the second-floor gallery, you can appreciate the scale of this open-concept home. The spiral chandelier cascades through the double-height void, connecting the upper and lower levels into one cohesive, light-filled space.
This wide view shows how we create distinct zones within a large, open-plan living area. The polished marble floors run throughout, unifying the space, while furniture arrangement and architectural details like the curved staircase define different functional areas.
An exposed brick wall adds texture and warmth to this double-height space. The glass-paneled walkway on the upper level maintains an open and airy feel, allowing light to travel freely while connecting different parts of the home.
We installed floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains in this double-height room to manage the abundant natural light. This feature adds a touch of softness and drama while emphasizing the impressive scale of the windows and the height of the space.
This is a perfect example of an open-plan living and dining area. The staircase, with its stainless steel and wood railing, is a key design feature, and the space flows logically from the dining table to the media wall.
From this angle, you can see how the wooden partition with built-in shelving helps define the entryway without closing it off. The consistent use of marble flooring and a coffered ceiling with wood accents ties the entire space together.
This perspective shows the living area flowing into the dining space and beyond. The open layout is ideal for modern family life, allowing for easy interaction and creating a feeling of spaciousness.
About Open-Concept & Double-Height Interiors
The secret to pulling off a double-height room isn't just the height; it is managing the acoustics so your living area doesn't sound like a train station. We balance that massive vertical volume with specific textures like wood paneling and floor-to-ceiling drapery to keep the conversation warm and contained while you soak up all that light.
When you knock down walls to create an open-concept space, you aren't just gaining square footage. You are changing the way your family interacts. Our design process focuses on creating zones within that openness so your kitchen, dining, and living areas flow into each other without feeling like a messy hallway.
Double-height rooms are our favorite way to add that instant 'wow' factor, but they come with their own set of rules. We design these spaces to maximize natural light through oversized glass walls, which helps bring the outside in—perfect if you have a garden or a view you want to highlight. We also specialize in the staircase as a sculptural element; in a double-height room, your stairs should be a feature, not a utility.
We handle the structural engineering for these spans—including load calculations for balconies and overhanging features—so you don't have to worry about the heavy lifting. Whether you want an industrial look with exposed brick or a clean, modern aesthetic with marble floors, we build it to be livable. Your home should be a place where you can host parties or just lounge on a Sunday without feeling like you are trapped in a box.
