September 5, 2025

The genius Southern California interior designer Hawk + Co just relocated to a new facility in Laguna Beach.  

HAWK + CO WEBSITE

Insensation has the honor of working with Hawk + Co and their award-winning designer, Summer Jensen, on a few projects in Southern California this year. Jensen’s work impressed us at first glance with her detailed planning and design and synergy with our own appreciation of luxe minimalism. Thoughtful sustainable materials, white oak floors, polished plaster, dark bronze, ultra modern amenities – are all apparent in her impressive works of art.

Insensation looks forward to publishing more of our collaboration as the year progresses.

Sylvan Rock is the first of its kind micro compound luxury residential real estate development, created by S3 Architecture, the first private residential estate designed by Aston Martin.

Sylvan Rock firmly embraces the natural landscape, subscribing to the thesis a residence and the land that it lives in should blend together seamlessly. Located on 55 beautiful acres of land in Rhinebeck, New York, only 90 minutes from Manhattan, the project is a truly visionary example of elegant architecture responding to a re-imagined modern lifestyle.

SYLVAN ROCK X ASTON MARTIN
“The estate is a strong marriage of design sensibilities. Creating a luxury residence with warm textures, bold forms and exceptional privacy is very aligned with Aston Martin’s own vision. We wanted the owner and their guests to experience the three-dimensional feel of the house in an organic way, just like you experience one of our cars – there is no single façade that dominates. Fully integrated into its surroundings and the community, Sylvan Rock is rare example of a complete residential work of art.”
– Cathal Loughnane, Head of Aston Martin Partnerships

S3 ARCHITECTURE AND THE UPSTATE MODERNIST
Blending a distinctly modernist aesthetic with natural materials, warm textures and traditional forms, the Upstate Modernist™ collection of homes by S3 Architecture offers a re-imagined modern lifestyle. Each property starts with a preservation-focused plan maintaining natural spaces and sight lines. Every home is unique and site specific, designed to respond to the natural characteristics of the land on which it sits and built with sustainable and efficient building techniques.

INSENSATION ADVANCED FRAMELESS DOORS
Insensation delivered a range of 10 foot frameless doors for this sophisticated residence. A combination of our advanced Frameless Swing, Frameless Pocket, Frameless Pivot and Frameless Duo doors were installed.

The residence listed for $7.7 million and is sold.
