In the competitive world of multifamily development, standing out demands a design approach that is as unique as it is meaningful. For The Elysian at Stonefield in Charlottesville, VA, HDG crafted a multifamily interior design concept inspired by the rich, diverse landscape of Charlottesville, Virginia—a concept that elegantly contrasts the city’s historical backdrop with a contemporary, nature-connected aesthetic.
Design Inspired by Charlottesville's Iconic Landscape
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Charlottesville offers a tapestry of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Its rolling grasslands, historic wineries, and equestrian traditions became the cornerstone of the interior design. The goal was to reflect a sense of place through a harmonious blend of rustic elegance and modern living.
Rustic Elegance
Drawing from the rustic charm of Charlottesville’s wineries, we incorporated reclaimed wood, stone, brick, and wrought iron into the design. Thoughtfully selected furnishings, like wooden farmhouse tables reminiscent of vineyard tasting rooms, promote a culture of hospitality and warmth. These elements create inviting, timeless spaces that balance tradition with contemporary sensibilities.
Earth-Inspired Palette
Charlottesville’s grasslands informed the color palette—soft greens, beiges, and muted golds evoke relaxation and harmony, while accents of deep burgundy, inspired by local wines, provide richness and sophistication. The interplay of natural tones creates interiors that are both serene and vibrant.
Equestrian Heritage
To honor the region’s equestrian culture, the design integrates refined details like leather furnishings, a classic Chesterfield sofa, equine artwork, and vintage riding gear. These elements lend a sense of grace, tradition, and authenticity to the spaces.
A Holistic Approach to Place-Centered Design
This design is further elevated by a curated art package featuring pieces inspired by Charlottesville’s cultural and natural heritage. The integration of local artistry ensures that every detail aligns with the city’s unique story.
