Urban Dwelling

338A River Valley Road | 1313 sqft

A well-traveled family of three and their four-legged explorer sought a home that could capture the vibrancy of Killiney while remaining a peaceful retreat.

The original space felt fragmented, limiting connection and natural light. The goal was to integrate modern aesthetics with functional living so that every detail would support their lifestyle.

Contrasts and Curves Speak Cohesion

To reflect the home’s urban surroundings, we introduce a bold yet inviting palette.

Black-dominated carpentry reflects our client’s love for darker tones, while contrasting copper accents soften and warm the space.

Curved forms counterbalance hard lines, bringing movement and flow throughout the furniture and ceilings.

A cantilevered, wall-mounted TV console grounds the living room and gently defines a separation from the kitchen.

In the foyer, a floating shoe cabinet hovers above a mirrored base, creating an airy and effortless welcome.

Openness Invites Connection

Previously enclosed, the kitchen, dining, and study areas now form a singular, airy environment—dissolving boundaries between cooking, gathering, and quiet moments of work.

Movement feels natural and unhurried, making connection effortless.

No longer tucked away, the kitchen becomes a place of presence and connection. A hub where meals are prepared without leaving the conversation behind.

Although the family’s dog might argue that kitchen accessibility is the real highlight.

Discreet Storage Supports a Clutter-Free Life

Recognizing our client’s preference for pristine spaces, we integrate seamless storage solutions.

Bookshelves pull out only when needed. A hidden storage niche behind the kitchen stove vanishes into Cosentino surfaces.

Everything is there yet unseen, maintaining a balance of order and utility—even with an enthusiastic pup in the mix.

Details Whisper Craftsmanship

In the primary bathroom, four distinct tiles create layers of textures and tones, subtly shifting as light plays across each surface—creating a harmonious and integrated design that reflects our client’s style.

A Home That Moves Like Its People

At Pivot, design begins with listening: to how our clients live, what they love, and the unspoken details that make a space truly theirs.

Only then can we transform what was once a fragmented, enclosed space into a seamless, light-filled home that moves with its people.

How does your home reflect the way you move through life?
