To complement their new kitchen design, my clients requested a way to connect the remodeled kitchen and adjoining family room while also adding an Asian aesthetic. The design inspiration for the Asian elements came from the thin, straight vertical and horizontal lines reminiscent of Japanese shoji screens. Photographer: Ron Ruscio

This beautiful secluded house and art studio, hand built by a Japanese Potter, has been given a new life as a writing studio for its owner. The building, having been neglected and uninhabited for some time, was in danger of being demolished. The owner’s recognition of the underlying spirit of the place, in what can only be described as a labor of love, worked with the designers and the artisans to bring this building back to life. The stone cylinder at the center of the building houses bathrooms and mechanical systems, allowing the remainder of the building to remain open. The new cedar posts, stair, custom cabinets and handcrafted sliding doors are among the details that were chosen to complement the restoration of the underlying building, ensuring a long life for this peaceful retreat.
