Lake Living, DSM design award gold winner

This is a beautiful expression of a contemporary lakeside family retreat. From the bespoke Poliform Kitchen, Roll & Hill chandelier and solid Cedar coffee table; furnishings were procured to evoke warmth, nature and timelessness. Our kitchen design is truly the heart of the home with a spectacular combination of materials including a full height Croatian limestone backsplash, solid walnut and black elm cabinetry and Dekton countertops.

everyday staycation

With a rural setting, high-end amenities and opulent touches, this modern home feels like a luxurious retreat. Custom-built by Renda Building Co., with interior design and cabinetry by Projects Contemporary Furniture, the modern ranch just south of the metro maximizes indoor-outdoor living with plenty of amenities. The team mixed traditional architectural elements such as ornate mirrors, arched windows, ceiling medallions, chunky fireplace moldings and black-and-white tile with contemporary furnishings such as the sprawling B&B Italia sectional in the living room. White Poliform frameless kitchen cabinets in white lacquer inspired the wall color throughout the main living areas. The marble covering the island and attached seating area features a special stain-resistant finish, making it easier to maintain.

midcentury modernized, dsm design award gold winner

Our design team overhauled this 1950s ranch to create a sleek, modern living space for a growing family. We added square footage and re-envisioned the layout to remove the compartmentalization of the original floor plan. Large windows and sliding doors were added to connect the great room to the new patio. The finishes we chose were a nod to its mid-century roots with natural walnut Poliform cabinetry and narrow plank floors. The furnishings include Minotti, B&B Italia & Knoll.

modernizing a 1960s home

This Waterbury home was built in the 1960's and had an extensive renovation in the 1980's. The homeowners kids have recently moved off to college, and they were faced with the decision whether to renovate their current home, or move to a townhome/condo. They decided to make major updates to their current space in an effort to stay and enjoy their family home for many more years to come. Interior design and cabinetry by Projects.

Timeless Modern, dsm design award gold winner

This high end custom home was a designer's dream canvas. Throughout the spacious, light filled residence, our walnut Poliform cabinetry echoes the clean lines of the architecture and brings warm definition.

The upper level kitchen was designed with two islands, a wine bar, and a discreet pantry revealing a functional back up zone and smart office area. This comprehensive project also included a lower level entertainer's kitchen, bathrooms, closets, offices, and more; all in a cohesive palette of walnut, matte white lacquer, white quartz and stainless. Cabinetry by Projects.

Liberty Building Condo

When it was time for our long-term clients to make their move to downtown Des Moines, Projects' design team was charged to redesign the condo space with modern style, while at the same time addressing a need for storage and functionality. 

The open plan was conceived to allow the couple ample entertaining spaces with fluid circulation to both the living room and home office. Each area has sleek Poliform storage solutions for objects and our client's vast collections of design/architecture books. Projects' design team provided space planning, kitchen and wall system design, bathroom design, closet design, furniture, tile selection, lighting, artwork, flooring and fabric selections.

Mid Century Condo Reboot, As Featured in DSM Magazine

Our client chose Des Moines' iconic 3660 Grand building for their next chapter.  A full gut shed the 1980's build-out including curves, glass block and a less than open plan.

West Des Moines Kitchen Reno

Hidden behind dark cherry cabinets, the best of this home's kitchen space was lost. We reimagined the space to open sight lines to the lush outdoors. A chef's kitchen was created with a large dual-sided island and integrated table, a tall grey oak wall with three convenient pantries and Miele appliances. Glossy white lacquer, white quartz, grey oak, glossy graphite lacquer and a striking honed marble slab complete the material palette. The grey oak finish continues into the dining area. Finishing touches include shiny blue steel dome and double elliptical LED chandeliers. Nathan Scott Photography.

Mississippi Modern

On the banks of the Mississippi river, inside a stately Neoclassical building facade; our corporate kitchen remodel project creates the unexpected counterpoint. Handsome dark oak, sleek grey lacquer and a tough white quartz anchor the space. A circular flow around a generous island and Miele wine coolers storing sophisticated vintages meet the challenge.

Penthouse Project

Luxury meets minimal in our Des Moines penthouse interior design project which was realized in August 2016. Gracious spaces were created with unobstructed views to the cityscape for entertaining along with sumptuous private spaces for restful retreat. Spectacular rug textures counter the sleek polished concrete floors and provide the base for the material's palette. Full length gray linen draperies soften/filter light and anchor the perimeter while the core of the residence is warmed with black elm. Photography by Assassi Productions.

High Rise Kitchen Transformation

Our delightful home owner charged us with the task to transform her ninety's-era dark, tight kitchen into a bright, functional and inviting space. Gratuituous angles were removed to restore flow and reveal space for a coveted island. Light wood grain ceramic tile was selected for it's warmth, beauty and durability. Nathan Scott Photography.

Walnut Woods

Past and present come together in the unique blending of Danish modern with new contemporary home furnishings.  The common thread is the respect for materials and timeless craftsmanship. The end result is an elegant and fresh interior design solution for our project in the woods. Nathan Scott Photography.
