The Earthbound Elegance (by Lobes Studio) is a serene escape from the noise of everyday life. It is wrapped in soft light, natural stone, and the quiet strength of wood. With so many natural materials, you can expect it to be less like a house and more like a living, breathing extension of the landscape itself. It is designed for those who crave stillness without sacrificing sophistication. The type where every corner invites you to slow down, exhale, and reconnect… to the earth, to your senses, and to yourself.

The living area is anchored by a sculptural cream-toned sectional sofa. The seating, with its rounded, cloud-like form, invites ease and conversation. A rich travertine coffee table brings a quiet gravitas to the center of the space. A muted, stone-hued rug stretches beneath, softening the open floor plan. Across the room, the marble fireplace (using the luxurious Calacatta Viola) becomes a living artwork of its own, and is framed by custom built-ins. Subtle lighting, both architectural and sculptural, bathes the room in a gentle glow, making the space feel intimate whether the fireplace is lit or not.

Against one wall, a black console table displays a curated mix of records, books, and sculptural decor. This is framed by a living Ficus tree that breathes life into the corner of the room.

At the heart of the kitchen design is a breathtaking marble installation (again using Calacatta Viola to tie the open floor plan together). The bold veining spills across the backsplash, range hood, and dining table like a natural masterpiece! Soft oak cabinetry grounds the drama of the marble with warmth. Integrated appliances and minimalist upper cabinets maintain the serene, uncluttered aesthetic. A sculptural pendant light floats above the dining table like a full moon, casting a gentle glow over meals both simple and celebratory.

The custom pedestal-style dining table, echoing the marble motif, pairs effortlessly with architectural chairs (featuring clean-lined wood bases and softly upholstered seats). In this kitchen, even the smallest moments, like brewing a morning coffee, slicing fruit, gathering for a late-night conversation, feel elevated.
