The custom millwork in the kitchen and media room is in place, awaiting brass pulls and the installation of stone countertops, which were templated last week. Bathrooms are 95% complete, with only the shower glass, a stone bench top, and saddles left to be installed. The existing wood flooring will be refinished and stained a rich dark chocolate brown, and custom window shutters, along with glass for the kitchen’s illuminated pantry, will be added as we wrap up all the finishing touches, including furnishings!

Stay tuned for updates as we finish work on this beautiful space, and a big thanks to the entire team at StudioTEKA for going the extra mile for our client!

We’re currently compiling all observations from this incredible experience and are thrilled to have been surrounded by such passionate climate activists and visionaries. If you’re interested in receiving updates or becoming a tester for future builds, we’d love to hear from you!

Stay tuned for more updates and join us on this exciting journey!

The kitchen redesign is also complete, featuring exquisitely detailed custom refrigerator and freezer panels with a smooth, seamless finish. After extensive workshopping, we perfected the grip on the door and drawer pulls, ensuring they are both elegant and functional. The integrated cabinet pulls in the kitchen are a horizontal flip of our vertical detail used in other areas, like the living room and primary bath cabinetry. Additionally, the reupholstered antique bench in the primary bath adds a touch of elegance to the new morning routine space. Designing with visual and tactile considerations in mind has yielded beautiful results.

We’ve enhanced the apartment with a custom-designed floor-to-ceiling bookcase, featuring integrated LEDs and an illuminated space to showcase art, artist monographs, sculptures, and antiques. The sleek vertical pulls on the closed cabinet doors add a grounding touch to the piece. This refined detail extends throughout the apartment’s custom millwork, including the kitchen cabinetry, a custom Murphy bed for the guest room, and a bespoke vanity and mirror cabinet for the primary bath.

To complete the living space, an oval Saarinen Tulip table and four Executive chairs provide a minimalist yet sophisticated backdrop for the owner’s vibrant modernist collection of works on paper.

A huge thank you to our brilliant students, fantastic jury, fellow instructors, and our co-creators and collaborators—together, the sky’s the limit when it comes to shaping a sustainable future!

The bar features navy blue cabinets with elegant brass hardware, a crisp white tile backsplash, and a luxurious marble countertop. A wine fridge is seamlessly integrated into the cabinetry below, while a matching brass wine rack is mounted beneath one of the floating shelves, adding both style and functionality to the space.

A unique wall detail, designed by Studioteka, highlights a green antique tile featuring a cherub playing a flute—a piece with sentimental meaning for our client. The bathroom is equipped with all-new fixtures, including a Toto washlet, a luxurious soaking tub, and a compact sink. A new retro-Steampunk radiator completes the look, adding a touch of character to the space. A big thank you to our wonderful client and the team for a job well done!

The light and airy ambiance extends into the marble-tiled shower, enhanced by an elegant silver door pull. A new casement window brings in natural light, creating a peaceful, refined, and spa-like atmosphere throughout the space. It’s incredibly rewarding to see all these beautiful design elements finally come together!

Studioteka also designed two new dental hygienist rooms, complete with custom cabinetry for each space. The office features brand-new driftwood gray floors and a soothing shade of blue throughout the lab and procedure rooms, creating an ideal environment for practitioners to perform expert color corrections, whitening, and dental implants.

Newly installed inset glass doors allow natural and artificial light to flow throughout the office, gently illuminating and opening up the space. We’re incredibly proud of this project and grateful to our client and team for their collaboration in bringing this vision to life!
