Interior Design & Project Vision: House of Alchemy
Architectural Design & Technical Plans: Derek Pino

Explore a curated collection of past projects, each designed with the belief that your home should be a true reflection of you. While every space is thoughtfully layered and visually beautiful, it is equally grounded in how you live day to day. My approach blends form and function—creating homes that not only feel collected and timeless, but support the rhythms of your everyday life.

A Grandmillenial Daydream

In approaching this space, we leaned into a grandmillennial perspective—balancing traditional design with a fresh, livable sensibility. Classic patterns, collected pieces, and tailored details are layered with softness and ease, creating a space that feels timeless, personal, and effortlessly inviting.

A bathroom with blue and white wallpaper, a white-framed mirror, wall-mounted lamps, a marble countertop with a burl wood cabinet, and a monogrammed towel hanging.
A laundry room with light blue cabinetry, a white countertop, a window with floral curtains, a potted orchid, a stackable washer and dryer, and a floor with a diamond pattern of white and gray marble tiles.

“Your home tells your story the moment you walk through the door.”

The Warm French Revival

This kitchen reimagines French country through a fresh, livable lens—pairing refined architectural details with warm walnut accents and aged brass. Designed for a busy family, thoughtful storage and generous workspaces allow the kitchen to function seamlessly from morning routines to evening gatherings, creating a space that feels both elevated and effortlessly lived in.

A Refined Fitness Retreat

A Space of Their Own

Interior of a cozy reading nook with two green armchairs, a bookshelf with colorful books on the wall, and a white wall with shelves displaying jars of colored candies. There's a neon sign on the wall that reads "Good Vibes" and a wooden floor.

Designed with both creativity and connection in mind, this basement transforms into a space where tweens can truly feel at home. A balance of functional zones—from crafting and studying to lounging and movie nights—allows the room to evolve with their daily routines.

Thoughtful details and layered textures bring warmth and personality, creating a space that feels fun, inviting, and effortlessly livable for the whole family.

A table with various items: a green book titled 'Things Off-Grid,' a purple container with a gold lid, a string of white beads with tassels, a clear tic-tac-toe game, a bright orange card featuring the game 'Weird Things Humans Search For,' a blue tray with a gold hand-shaped object and a gray vase with a pink flower.

A look at what’s currently taking shape—spaces thoughtfully designed with intention, layering, and livability at the forefront. From hardworking mudrooms to refined powder rooms and tailored home offices, each project is in progress, with every detail being carefully considered as it comes to life.
