Holley House location: Garrison, NY size: 7,000 s.f. date: completed 2006 contact: hMa hanrahanMeyers architects The client commissioned hanrahanMeyers to design a 7,000 square foot house on a wooded site. The house is a second home for this client whose primary residence is a loft in lower Manhattan. The loft was featured at the Un-Private House show at MoMA, and which traveled internationally. The house program includes a master bedroom suite in a separate pavilion; an entrance pavilion with two guest bedrooms and media room; and a third pavilion with living room, dining, and kitchen. Two stone walls are the main elements of the house, defining and separating the master bedroom suite from the entry area and marking the edge to the public spaces: living, dining, and kitchen. South of the house is a pool and a pool house. The house was designed to be part of its site, incorporating wood, stone, and water to create a quiet and restful retreat from New York City.
I wanted to include one shot of what it's like once the door is open. I love the way they have exaggerated the length and perspective with the L-O-N-G rug!
Here's an example of some modern track lighting for a hallway. I know I advocated for a jute or Persian runner, but this rug is just too gorgeous not to include here!
Cover the walking area. The rug should cover the majority of the walking area in a hallway or entry. For both safety and comfort, it is preferable to have both feet fall within the surface of the rug in a high traffic area.

This hall is a beautiful example of the previous guideline.
Runner is great.. Brings lots of color in without being to obnoxious.. Also feel like its cheerful and would go with almost anything we would put on the walls
