The Art of Arrival

This inspired entry sets the tone for the entire Mountain Brook home — light-filled, bold, and unexpectedly calm. A dramatic black-and-white marble floor, sculptural lighting, and curated art pieces create impact, while thoughtful restraint ensures every detail feels harmonious and livable.

Three oversized black spike sconces climb the stairway. Overhead, a sculptural LED fixture takes center stage — modern yet soft, powerful yet balanced against the sconces."

We continued the grand sconces with a pair flanking the glass-and-iron arch front door.
The first impression: bold yet calm. White walls let the art and design elements shine without overwhelming the senses.
A black-and-white marble triangle floor pattern sets a bold foundation, strong enough to stand alone without a rug.

Like liquid molecules frozen in motion, the chrome molten sculpture adds sparkle and intrigue without competing with the surrounding photography.
At the landing, a playful vignette awaits — a yellow circle chair, dimensional art by Scout, and a tiny drink table create a moment that’s both fun and refined.
The stair runner softens the ascent, balancing drama with function as the sconces march upward.
From the front door, sightlines stretch all the way through the living room to the back yard, creating a seamless connection of light and space.
The living room continues the story set in the entry — bold black and white, a hit of color, modern-but-layered lighting, and playful surprises in every room, all wrapped in light and comfort you can actually live in.
The entry embodies the home’s essence: light-filled, bold, and statement-making — yet somehow serene, never overpowering.
Large-scale local photography echoes the bold black-and-white floor, adding both texture and place-driven character.
From the entry, glimpses of the dining room draw you further in, with light and proportion creating a sense of balance.
