As this was our first collaboration with Ruggiero Custom Homes, we approached Modern Luxe as a true design partnership—melding architectural vision with immersive, detail-driven interiors. Our team led the full interior development, including a custom lighting installation that cascades from the second floor to the basement like a glass waterfall. Floor-to-ceiling features and layered lighting bring drama to each space, while curated artwork provides bold, refined contrast against the home’s monochromatic foundation. In every room, from the serene primary suite with sauna to the entertainment-ready basement, we ensured luxury met livability—proving that modern design can still feel warm, personal, and entirely at home.

our approach

With three young children and a passion for entertaining, the clients behind Modern Luxe wanted a home that felt as extravagant as a five-star retreat—while still serving the rhythm of daily family life. She envisioned clean lines, layered textures, and a calming palette; he brought a technical mindset to the process, drawn to dramatic ceilings, integrated lighting, and design-forward features that elevated every square inch. From Christmas gatherings to their annual summer clambake, this home was designed for joyful hosting—with expansive entertaining spaces, a dedicated kids’ zone, and a layout that blends form and function at every turn. The result earned “Best Interior Design” at the 2023 Cleveland Choice Awards.
