Inspired by the surrounding habitat, the design team at JR Frank Design LLC opted for a palette of stacked stone, porcelain and wood to reflect the colors and texture of the outdoors for the design of a New Jersey home
Natural stone was an essential component of a residential design in Bernardsville, NJ, to capture the organic feel of the home’s woodsy surroundings. The design team from Wayne, NJ-based JR Frank Design LLC strongly desired to connect the expansive residence with nature. The rough-cut stone was paired with porcelain panels and wood to develop a contemporary, open-concept and inviting design.
“My guiding principle of the design was biophilia — a connection with nature,” explained principle JR Frank. “Large windows, natural light, natural materials and colors were all incorporated into the design. I wanted to do a stacked stone in a color similar to the indigenous stone found in the area.”
