At The Perch, material selection shapes the experience. The Tom is a study in depth and contrast, where surfaces work together to create an environment that feels grounded, immersive, and confidently refined. Designed by Chip Wade, this home embraces a darker palette not for effect alone, but to establish mood, movement, and connection to the surrounding landscape.
Every tile, slab, and paver is selected with intention, allowing surfaces to define how the home feels as much as how it looks.
Architectural Wall Moments That Establish Rhythm
Wall applications establish the home’s dramatic foundation. Statuette™ in Night Shade Picket Mosaic and Statuette™ in Paloma Gray Picket Mosaic are installed on a diagonal, transforming walls into architectural features rather than static backdrops. The elongated picket shape adds rhythm, while tonal contrast creates depth that shifts with light throughout the day.
These wall moments demonstrate how tile can move beyond surface coverage to become a defining design element.
A Kitchen Anchored by Contrast and Performance
In the kitchen, ONE Quartz Surfaces® in Broadway Black acts as a visual anchor. Its saturated tone grounds the space, balancing the surrounding materials while delivering a clean, polished surface built for everyday use. The quartz introduces a sense of weight and permanence, reinforcing the home’s moody palette while ensuring long term performance in a high use space.
Here, surface selection supports both aesthetics and function, allowing the kitchen to feel elevated yet effortless.
A Primary Suite Designed for Immersive Calm
In the primary suite, Panoramic Porcelain Surfaces™ in Calacatta Topaz and Sunstone create an immersive environment inspired by natural marble. Their large format scale minimizes grout lines, enhancing the sense of continuity and calm. These surfaces bring drama through veining and tone while maintaining a refined, spa inspired feel that encourages rest and retreat.
These surfaces elevate the suite into a private retreat that feels luxurious without excess.
A Bunk Space Designed for Durability and Style
In the bunk space, performance and comfort take priority without sacrificing design intent. Loften™ Luxury Vinyl Flooring in Coal Limestone anchors the floor with a fabric inspired look that brings visual softness while delivering the durability required for a high use area.
The subtle texture and tonal depth of the Luxury Vinyl Flooring complement The Tom’s darker palette, reinforcing continuity with the rest of the home while providing a surface that is easy to maintain and designed to perform. Its limestone inspired tone grounds the space, allowing the room to feel welcoming, functional, and thoughtfully finished.
This flooring choice demonstrates how surface selection can quietly elevate everyday spaces, ensuring that even the most practical areas feel intentional and design forward.
Metallic Accents That Introduce Warmth and Dimension
Accent moments soften the darker palette. Artefino™ Jewel Antiqued Brass Framed Hexagon Mosaic introduces metallic warmth, texture, and subtle shine. The hexagon shape adds dimensional interest, creating a refined focal point that complements the home’s moody foundation.
Outdoor Living That Extends the Design Language
The Tom’s surface story continues outdoors with Assemble™ Emissary 2cm pavers, creating a durable foundation for a custom grilling and lounge area. Designed to perform in mountain conditions, these pavers maintain visual continuity with the interior palette while supporting long term durability.
By carrying materials beyond the walls, the home feels cohesive and complete, reinforcing the idea that thoughtful design should flow seamlessly from inside to out.
A Home Defined by Material Intent
Throughout The Tom, surfaces guide movement, establish mood, and support everyday living. Each product selection contributes to a layered design narrative that feels immersive, refined, and deeply connected to its environment.
