Strada House is the result of a collaboration between Maison Blonde and Simmonds Architecture. While Simmonds led the architectural design, Maison Blonde worked alongside their team on the interior layout to ensure every space felt both intentional and beautifully resolved.
Our scope included complete interior design, finishes, custom millwork, lighting, and interior architectural detailing—from stairs and doors to the custom glass partitions that shape the home’s flow. We also designed the exterior landscape, ensuring a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding property.
Designed for a large and active family, the Strada House is grounded in warm Scandinavian minimalism. The space balances refined modernity with inviting natural finishes, creating a home that is both hardworking and serene. Natural wood, stone, and glass create a restrained yet warm palette. Clean architectural lines are softened with organic textures and thoughtful detailing, striking a balance between modern simplicity and everyday livability. The kitchen, dining, and living areas are anchored by custom millwork and scaled lighting, designed to feel timeless, open, and inviting.
