The Master Suite consists of a private entrance, foyer vestibule, spa bathroom, walk-in closet, living area, bedroom and private lanai. Featured here, the master bedroom and bath create a clean, fresh, open, yet warm interior to become a soothing respite to the private, spa-like lanai.

I completely remodeled the existing layout, creating an open layout and spaces that have an effortless flow, architectural details that are practical, yet sensual. Removing the wall between the bedroom and living area, I designed a gentle arching opening held by linen drapes, and a central double-sided fireplace with a media screen above. The vaulted ceiling was created with distressed rafters, specialty AV, and ethnic ceiling fans. The floors are custom, espresso-stained wide plank white oak by a local craftsman. I added sconce lighting on either side of the linen headboard, to accent the soft, soothing gray Benjamin Moore painted wall. The furnishings are a collection of found and refinished vintage pieces, Restoration Hardware, and custom designs. The bedding is a cool linen, in soothing greys and creams.

The Master Bathroom was completely redone with a new layout, to feature a modern sculptural soaking tub in front of a custom Indonesian teak screen to soften the intense southern exposure and add a contrasting background. I selected a brushed finish for the limestone flooring. The light fixtures were sourced from Morocco, and the electrical components were installed locally for code compliance. The custom-designed shelving units of either side of the tub create accessible niches for bathing supplies and ambiance.

Also in this bathroom, are his and her vanities, a steam shower with aromatherapy, and a private toilet room. Adjacent to the master bath, is a customized walk-in dressing suite. I removed a few walls in this closet to create an organized and Boutique mood for this shared room. This island was custom-designed to include locking jewelry drawers and pull out laundry hampers. I designed the open closet system was designed to organize the couple while creating an ambiance worthy of their taste.

As a second home to this local Hawaiian couple, they wanted a custom environment that was modern, clean, yet warm and inviting, and utilized the Koa wood flooring that was a gift from a family member.

Additionally, the homeowners had survived a hurricane in 1992, and wanted a home that was designed and built to withstand a storm, while also being open to views, natural breezes and embraced the outdoors with open-air living areas.

I created a design to incorporate the requests, with custom furnishings and architectural details which behold a classic tropical atmosphere. With contracting woods for the media cabinet, coffered ceiling and furnishings, I was able to complement the Koa wood with lighter finishes of beech wood, maple, limestone, and luminous plaster.

Creating finish details, such as a custom linen and silk throw for the chaise, a custom rug to become a piece of modern art and a built-in settee for the game room, have brought forth a truly custom home for this client.

“I’m an intense person. Everything I do, I do with all my energy. I’m also cautiously curious and very sensitive,” says the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based artist. “I want to capture my passion within the work, charge the objects with my energy and emotions, so observers can feel my experiences when viewing the work.”

With URBIS, McNabb uses his vast imagination and talent to create abstract fantasy cities that become a visual experience, inviting one to study every detail of his pieces.

The URBIS collection reveals intricate architectural structures imagined by James, from towering skyscrapers and office buildings to high-rise apartment buildings. Each towering wooden skyscraper is skilfully carved out with a bandsaw and then carefully assembled piece by piece to create impressive urban landscapes.

In the City Square sculpture, McNabb visually transforms a skyline into an urban block by inverting each tower in such a manner that the antennas are practically touching in the center while the outer edges are squared off. The composition compromises 102 unique structures in American Black Walnut. This contemporary piece measures 66 x 66 x 6 cm.

ACK CTY WHL bends a modern metropolis into a sophisticated sphere due to the precise placement of each elongated wooden tower. The gentle rondure and simplicity of the perimeter contrast with more than one hundred highly ornate superstructures arranged inside. The negative space creates a glowing sun that adds to the complexity and depth of this architectural wonder. This piece of 91 cm in diameter incorporates a variety of wood types, including cherry, oak, mahogany and maple.

In a similar design, URB CTY WHL maintains the round construction of ACK CTY WHL though the interior is modern with clean structures crafted from American Black Walnut. The streamlined design of this rolling metropolis eases thoughts and draws on a simpler way of life.

Disposition is a sculpture balancing a bustling city filled with distinctive architecture at varied elevations. The sleek skyscrapers are composed in American Black Walnut and assembled to create a 46 x 46 x 51 cm modern metropolis. One has a bird’s-eye view into the streets of this city on the edge, and it’s easy to imagine an uphill climb or sliding down – or perhaps just hanging on.

McNabb primarily used a bandsaw to create these works of art. Each one takes 10-12 weeks to complete.

“To me, it’s a very expressive machine, responsive to its user in a very sensitive way,” explains James. “I’m sensitive to how the material behaves with the machine, and how my behaviour impacts the resulting forms. If we (maker, material, machine) can dance together, the results are often beautiful.”

“I like to spend most of my time cutting the wood pieces on the bandsaw. It requires patience and focus as each piece is cut one at a time by me,” he explains. Once all the architectural structures are finished, James assembles each individual component, piece by piece. The entire sculpture is then sanded to an impeccably smooth texture and finished with varnish to enhance the wood grain.
