The third annual Living by Design Virtual Showhouse unfolds as a fully realized residence, set digitally in Texas, where each room becomes a distinct point of view, shaped by a roster of designers whose sensibilities span regions, references and eras. Produced by Embello with 3D visualization by YouSee and LUXE Interiors + Design as the National Media Partner, the home is less a singular vision than a layered narrative of contemporary luxury.
The Kitchen
The journey begins in the kitchen, where Bobby Berk explores the tension between precision and softness. Stainless steel and professional-grade detailing are tempered by sculptural lighting and limewashed walls, creating a space that feels both exacting and warmly human.
The Primary Bathroom
Nearby, Ahmad AbouZanat’s primary bath offers a counterpoint. It is immersed in green marble, glass brick and bronze, channeling a spa-like calm rooted in natural materiality and shifting light.
The Primary Bedroom
In the primary bedroom, Lisa Mende leans into narrative. Dubbed “The Voyager’s Retreat,” the room layers global references and tailored finishes, evoking the quiet romance of travel through subtle geometry and collected detail.
The Guest Suite
Guest quarters by Pulp Design Studios continue the theme of hospitality, drawing inspiration from boutique hotels and private clubs. Rich textures and custom furnishings lend the bedroom and bath a sense of indulgent ease. It’s luxury that feels lived-in rather than staged.
The Living Room + Hearth
Public spaces shift toward conviviality. Corey Damen Jenkins’ living room and hearth channels European salon culture with saturated color, layered pattern and sculptural forms designed for conversation.
The Dining Room
Lori Paranjape’s dining room follows as an extension of that social rhythm. It pairs polished finishes and elegant fixtures to create a setting where evenings unfold effortlessly.
The Laundry Room
Even the more utilitarian rooms carry a strong point of view. Isabel Ladd reimagines the laundry room as both efficient and expressive, incorporating tailored storage and unexpected details like a floral cutting station.
The Office
Rasheeda Gray’s office, opening to a balcony, blurs the line between workspace and living area, using warm textures and sculptural forms to encourage both focus and pause.
The Kids' Rooms
For younger inhabitants, Sasha Bikoff’s kids’ room and bath strike a balance between playfulness and permanence, combining contemporary materials with imaginative gestures designed to evolve over time.
The Patio + Pool
Outdoors, Adam Hunter extends the home’s narrative into a Mediterranean-inflected patio and pool surround. The environment is built for gathering, with stone, wood and layered seating fostering connection.
The Exterior
Anchoring it all is the architecture by Joe Carline at Kligerman AD, which reinterprets Southern vernacular and Shingle-style traditions through a contemporary lens.
The result is a home that feels at once grounded and forward-looking—a fitting framework for a showhouse that celebrates design as both expression and experience.
