We wanted the family room and kitchen to feel like one continuous space — warm, calm, connected.
Desert oak cabinetry and light grey quartz ground the kitchen, while white oak built-ins and a natural stone fireplace anchor the family room. The same grey limewash wraps the fireplace and the kitchen hood, tying the two together, and honey bronze warms every edge.
The result is a space that feels collected and quietly refined — made to be lived in.

One of our favorite spaces in this home.
When we designed this entertaining area, we wanted it to feel elevated without overpowering the rest of the home. The glass wine display became the focal point, while the custom cabinetry, natural stone, and gold finishes create a refined, timeless look that flows seamlessly with the rest of the house.
Our goal is always to design spaces that feel intentional—beautiful enough to make a statement, yet functional enough to become part of our clients’ everyday lives. Every material, finish, and detail was carefully selected to create a space that feels sophisticated, cohesive, and effortlessly livable.

We wanted this kitchen to hold two moods at once — warm and cool, working side by side.
The walnut island grounds everything, its honed black-tone quartzite top set against soft white cabinetry and the white-based quartzite behind the range. Brass keeps it warm; the fluted millwork keeps it calm.
A kitchen that feels collected, not decorated — every piece chosen because it belongs here.

There are projects that challenge you creatively—and then there are projects like this.
It was such an honor to bring this home to life alongside our incredible clients. Every design decision was made with intention, creating a space that feels as beautiful as it is livable. Warm neutrals, abundant natural light, layered textures, and timeless finishes all come together to reflect the way our clients truly live.
We believe great design isn’t just about creating a beautiful home—it’s about creating a home that supports your lifestyle, welcomes your family, and feels effortless every single day.
We couldn’t be more proud of how this one came together.

Come on in...
A walk through one of our completed homes, where every space was designed, built, and seen through — from the first sketch to the final detail. The light, the flow, the quiet decisions you feel before you can name them.
This is the part we love most: not just a beautiful room, but a home that holds together from the front door to the last corner.

Designing this bathroom for my loving parents was a joyful time for us. Designing for family brings a whole new level of personal fulfillment, by bringing their dream space to reality. But it is accompanied by lessons in patience, many calls to the contractors and a new record in revisions. Jokes aside, seeing the space come together as a serene, spa-like retreat, made every moment worth it knowing they love their new space to relax.
Warm brass, soft neutrals, and flowing marble come together in perfect balance — a true reflection of transitional design that feels timeless yet indulgent.

I wanted this vanity to embody both simplicity and drama. Arabescato Orobico marble, with its storm-like veining, brings movement and depth, while the integrated sink—crafted from the same stone and seamlessly joined—creates a clean, uninterrupted form. Paired with warm brass and soft textures, the result is a vanity that feels sculptural yet restrained, a bold statement within a quiet space.
Design Tip: An integrated sink creates visual continuity, letting the stone’s pattern flow uninterrupted. It’s a detail that feels effortless yet instantly elevates the space.

From the very start of the build, I envisioned this office as a place where calm and creativity could seamlessly coexist. Soft, layered paint colors set the tone, infusing the room with a sense of quiet ease while allowing the viola marble handles, velvet chair, and brass accents to take center stage. Being part of the journey from concept through styling meant every choice worked in harmony, creating a workspace that is as beautiful as it is functional—the perfect expression of the homeowner’s dream.

I believe a shower should feel like an escape, not just a routine.
For this design, I wrapped the walls in a soft veined tile, added a geometric mosaic floor for subtle texture, and chose warm brushed brass to elevate the space. Frameless glass keeps it light, while the bench and niche make it effortlessly functional.

Design Tip: When mixing tile patterns, keep the palette cohesive—let one element carry movement and the other bring texture.

We designed this mudroom to make a quiet statement for the homeowner. Built by @tru_habitat , the space balances utility and elegance with deep green cabinetry, aged brass accents, and a checkered marble floor.
Design Tip: Treat utility spaces as an extension of your home`s identity—elevate function with sophisticated finishes and intentional design.

This space was originally underutilized, so we reimagined it into a custom bar with purpose and presence.
I selected Breccia Capraia marble for the countertop, backsplash, side splash, and wine display base—it brings movement and a natural elegance that anchors the design. The stone’s veining sits cohesively with the deep green cabinetry the homeowner envisioned— a moody shade that shifts beautifully with the light.
Brass and glass shelving adds structure without feeling heavy, and every finish was chosen to feel elevated, not overdone.
The result is clean, tailored, and timeless.
Design Tip: When working with dynamic paint colors, choose stone with tonal variation to create balance and cohesion—especially in spaces where lighting shifts throughout the day.

We were involved from the very beginning, along side @tru_habitat, designing the home from the floorplans and selecting the finishes throughout. That early involvement gave us the clarity to curate furniture that fits the scale and flow of the room with intention and ease. The result is a space that feels restful yet refined, grounded in thoughtful proportions and timeless materials.
Soft light, clean lines, and layered texture—this bedroom is a study in quiet luxury.
Design tip: When furnishings are selected alongside the floorplan and finishes, every detail—from headboard height to window placement—works in harmony.

When every room is designed with purpose—and with the people who live there in mind. We reimagined the fireplace with new marble, added depth to the built-ins with paint and wallpaper, and gave this space a fresh perspective. A glimpse into the bar renovation just beyond—we’ll share more soon.
Design tip: Always design for how a client lives, not just how a space looks. Thoughtful details should support the everyday.

We helped the homeowners reimagine this powder room before they moved in.
A natural marble vanity with integrated sink anchors the space, paired with high‑end brass fixtures, lighting, and accessories for warmth and luxury.
Design tip: Even in small powder rooms, opting for standout finishes ensures timeless sophistication.

Designing with scale in mind—because a great room should feel both expansive and intentional.
I approached this space with a focus on proportion, materiality, and seamless transitions. The soaring 20-foot ceilings and expansive windows create a sense of openness, while the two-story Venetian plaster fireplace grounds the design with its soft, textural movement. Custom built-ins frame the space, drawing the eye upward as they merge effortlessly into the minimalist white oak ceiling.
The X-pattern ceiling design reinforces structure and symmetry, adding depth to an already layered composition. Every detail was thoughtfully considered and meticulously executed by Mike @tru_habitat .

A bathroom designed to grow with them—because kids don’t stay little forever.
This Jack & Jill bath was all about balance—creating a space that feels just right for two little ones now, but will seamlessly grow with them into their teen years. I wanted it to feel elevated yet approachable, with soft textures, warm brass, and timeless materials that bring both charm and longevity. But beyond the finishes, it was about giving them a space that supports their independence while still feeling connected—a reflection of the beautiful, evolving journey of childhood.

The contrast, the materials, the scale—it all comes together in a way that feels both modern and timeless. We wanted the design of this staircase to do more than provide a function; it makes a statement with clean lines, white oak treads, and a bold black stringer and railing. The result is a focal point that brings warmth and architectural depth to the home.

I’m Collin, the co-founder and designer behind @hayeshouseco . If you’ve been following along, you’ve seen my work—now it’s time to put a face to the name.
The rhythm of daily life shapes every space I design. How a home functions, the way people move through it, and the moments that matter most guide my creativity. A well-designed home should work seamlessly for those who live in it.
Once function is in place, aesthetics follow—layering materials, finishes, and details that bring warmth, depth, and a sense of refinement. That’s where my wife, Hilary, comes in—her eye for aesthetics is unmatched, and you’ll be meeting her soon.
Whether you’re building, renovating, or looking for thoughtful design direction, we would love to bring your vision to life. Let’s create something timeless together. Find me through the link in our bio.
