To highlight the existing architecture of the home, Hill retained the dark polish of the casement windows, which she finds enhances period details instead of undermining them. In the rear sunroom, the vintage Case Study furniture pieces with Plexiglas bases are from Metro Retro in Houston. A Bourgie lamp by Kartell is atop an old marble end table by Knoll, and the Gan kilim rug pictures a branch motif echoed in the kitchen and breakfast room.

For bedrooms that have windows, it can be challenging to place the bed so that it doesn't obstruct views. At this home with clerestory windows, the platform bed in the master bedroom can sit comfortably below the window while still allowing in daylight. The wood bed frame, crafted by a local woodworker, gives the illusion of a taller ceiling because it’s so low.

Copeland’s MiMo series is a portmanteau for Miami Modernist Architecture, as is revealed in the use of elegant materials alongside minimalist styling. The collection blends wood with metallic details, and is comprised of both solid maple hardwood with a white finish, American black walnut wood, and luxe bronze legs. The juxtaposition of the two hardwoods gives the MiMo Bed added visual interest, while the simple silhouette maintains the minimalist look of the modernist period. A true platform bed, the MiMo is ideal for small rooms, or as a centerpiece in a master suite. Although inspired by Miami modernism, the walnut headboard lends a rich, warm quality to the bed that will communicate with all styles.

The Case Study Alpine Platform Bed takes a functional home furnishing and recasts it as an attractive, sculptural accent. The first bed of its kind, the Alpine Platform Bed is defined by its simple silhouette, fluid lines, and layers of molded wood. The entire structure of the bed, inclusive of the headboard and legs, are comprised of 16 layers of North American maple wood and top and bottom veneers of North American walnut wood. Featuring a purposeful angle, the headboard is designed to give back support while reading or watching television. The curved rails at the foot of the bed secure the mattress in place, preventing sliding or shifting. The Case Study Alpine Platform Bed was inspired by the traditional craftsmanship of vintage sporting equipment, including wooden skis, kayaks, and bentwood tennis rackets.
