Statement & Serenity: The Story Behind The Sinclair’s Marble Fireplace Wall
Statement & Serenity: The Story Behind The Sinclair’s Marble Fireplace Wall
August 20, 2025
In the great room of The Sinclair—Korndoerfer’s Parade of Homes model in Menomonee Falls—every design choice serves a purpose: to welcome you in, calm the senses, and offer a moment of awe.
The room is anchored by a fireplace wall that blends imported marble, custom paneling, and timeless architectural details to create a space that’s both bold and serene.
A Fireplace That Captures the Room—and the Eye
At the center of the room is the Heat & Glo® 6K gas fireplace, surrounded by Daltile®’s Gamma Azure tile, a soft, natural-toned marble that draws the eye without overpowering. It’s flanked by framed wall panels finished in Sherwin Williams® Natural Choice, providing gentle contrast and architectural rhythm.
The 14-foot box-up ceiling features stained beams that echo the wood elements throughout the home, while LED lighting from Maxim® adds ambient glow both day and night.
Design that Lives and Breathes
With floor-to-ceiling windows, transoms, and a 4-panel sliding patio door that opens to the deck, this room brings the outdoors in—bathed in natural light from every angle. The smooth drywall finish, soft paint palette (Sherwin Williams® Natural Choice 7011), and Evoke® Terrace luxury vinyl plank flooring in Aida provide texture, tone, and warmth underfoot.
The room’s cohesive trim—painted poplar with 7 1/4” baseboards and 3 1/2” casing—subtly frames the space without distraction.
Together, it all creates a balance of statement and serenity, just like the name suggests.
A Semi-Custom Home Designed for Living
As with every semi-custom home, the great room is more than a showpiece. It’s the heart of the home—designed for gathering, relaxing, and living beautifully. The Sinclair blends bold architectural moments with enduring materials that will feel timeless for years to come.
