First Impressions

Aspen Leaf Interiors is known for its award-winning designs, including this Sierra home. The home took about a year of design and another year and a half in construction. The home makes an amazing first impression with a soaring great room and open loft above, flanked by ledgestone walls, and floor-to-ceiling glass with views to downtown Reno.

“It is hard to find a straight line in the entire house,” says Darin Murphy of Murphy Built Construction. “Every wall and feature has a slight curve, as would be expected in following the architecture of a plane; even the cabinetry is curved.” Which is why the Charleston Forge Monarch Console is a perfect fit. Guests entering the home immediately notice the console which sits in the grand room, part table, part sculpture. A second Charleston Forge piece, a Watson End Table, also occupies the room.

“It’s very minimalist, in a sense,” Marcio Decker says. “I wanted to make sure that we really allow the natural landscape — which is that foothill Nevada native vegetation — to be a focal point. On one side, you have city views and lights and on the Nevada side you have nature. We didn’t want to hide any of it.”
