his sprawling Nichols Hills home was designed specifically to suit the needs of a growing family. With two kids, the homeowners wanted a space that would accommodate an ever-changing lifestyle in a pleasant, nurturing environment. When designing the space with the OKC office of the London architecture firm Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, the homeowners wanted (and got) a sophisticated blend of upscale beauty and functionality. The inviting entertaining rooms are as well defined as the secluded areas of the home. Haleigh Stout, an interior designer with Oklahoma City-based A-Line Designs, says the open floor plan complements the abundant, large windows and rooms, which are elegant and comfortable. Each part of the home is welcoming. A small courtyard greets visitors. Four floor-to-ceiling paned windows frame the entrance and make a bold statement while providing a glimpse of the beauty inside. The first indoor views are of the spacious, formal living area, which includes dramatic, high ceilings, a crystal pendant chandelier and an antique heirloom rug found on the family’s trip to Egypt. The crisp, white interior contrasts dark wood framing.
