Peterkort Model Units

1. We provide interior design, furnishing, and staging services for model homes. We base our palettes and furnishing selections on industry trends, often taking traditional plans and altering them to make them appealing to a buyer with a contemporary eye. In this image of a contemporary dining room, a daring, vibrant color palette creates a memory point for the buyer.

2. For this model unit, we designed for an imaginary buyer who is younger, has contemporary tastes, and has traveled internationally. We imagined this buyer appreciating the marriage of clean lines with the influences of other cultures. 

3. We found that young buyers tend to possess a heightened attention to detail. We respond by focusing on the careful design of things they would touch in their homes everyday, such as the handrail in the foreground of this photograph.

4. In this model styled for the older buyer, we focused on interesting, collectible objects that imply that the owner has done a lot of traveling.

5. We use furniture to both emphasize the comfort of the home as well as to create zones that shape the flow of traffic through the space.

6. We pay careful attention to natural and artificial lighting and how they work with materials to alter the look of a room. Here, under-cabinet lighting and sunlight combine with reflective finishes to brighten and enlarge this kitchen.

7. The tile backsplash behind the stove top adds warmth and visual interest to this model kitchen.

8. We seek well-crafted details in places an owner is likely to touch every day, such as this newel post (click the image for a full view).
