In this masterfully designed space by Elizabeth Reich, functionality meets finesse, showcasing how art can be both a focal point and an integral part of daily life. The room serves dual purposes—dining and lounging—each defined by distinctive artworks that enrich the environment.
“Introducing the DINING LOUNGE. When we first saw this room, it was overwhelming in scale and lacked coziness. Our clients are down to earth people who exude warmth, and they said ‘we’re not formal people, we’re never going to sit in this room for dinners.’ CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! We made sure that this room became more than just a dining room. A place to linger with drinks before and after dinner, with the custom settee and the lounge area.” —Elizabeth Reich
On one side, Tomorrow at Five III by Shivani Dugar dominates the dining area. This painting captures an ephemeral landscape in a burst of subdued colors, its abstract form blurring the lines between the seen and the unseen, encouraging viewers to look beyond the canvas.

Adjacent to this, the lounge area presents a contrasting yet complementary aesthetic with April Midkiff’s Botanic Aura series. These mixed media pieces on metal explore the organic textures and rhythms of nature. Midkiff’s work, with its tangible textures and embedded botanical elements, adds a tactile dimension to the space.

Whether it’s a casual family gathering or a formal dinner party, this space offers a welcoming atmosphere enhanced by thought-provoking art.
