Several lighting techniques combine to illuminate the garden after hours. Laminated pergola beams span 24’ over the water garden, while a mortared step and grade beam marks the existing elevations preserved to protect existing trees.

The site for this new house was specifically selected for its proximity to nature while remaining connected to the urban amenities of Arlington and DC. From the beginning, the homeowners were mindful of the environmental impact of this house, so the goal was to get the project LEED certified. Even though the owner’s programmatic needs ultimately grew the house to almost 8,000 square feet, the design team was able to obtain LEED Silver for the project. The first floor houses the public spaces of the program: living, dining, kitchen, family room, power room, library, mudroom and screened porch. The second and third floors contain the master suite, four bedrooms, office, three bathrooms and laundry. The entire basement is dedicated to recreational spaces which include a billiard room, craft room, exercise room, media room and a wine cellar. To minimize the mass of the house, the architects designed low bearing roofs to reduce the height from above, while bringing the ground plain up by specifying local Carder Rock stone for the foundation walls. The landscape around the house further anchored the house by installing retaining walls using the same stone as the foundation. The remaining areas on the property were heavily landscaped with climate appropriate vegetation, retaining walls, and minimal turf. Other LEED elements include LED lighting, geothermal heating system, heat-pump water heater, FSA certified woods, low VOC paints and high R-value insulation and windows.

Elegant living room photo in Atlanta with white walls, a standard fireplace and no tv

This room got such a dramatic transformation! The previous owner had brought it into the late 80's/early 90's, though the home was 100 years old. I wanted to bring some of that old charm back into the place. We added the newel post, railing, discovered original hardwoods and refinished the flooring and stairs, and my favorite piece was the very heavy marble fireplace surround. I found it on Craigslist for 800$. It was my first purchase for this home and was the inspiration piece for the rest of the house! This photo crops out the other sofa and room divider with columns that separate the living room from the dining room. To see the room in entirety (or the entire home) feel free to look at my project titled " Minneapolis Home." Staging by Cindy Montgomery of Showhomes, Minneapolis. Photo by Obeo, Minneapolis.

Patio - large traditional backyard stone patio idea in New York with a pergola

David Reeve Architectural Photography; This vacation home is located within a narrow lot which extends from the street to the lake shore. Taking advantage of the lot's depth, the design consists of a main house and an accesory building to answer the programmatic needs of a family of four. The modest, yet open and connected living spaces are oriented towards the water. Since the main house sits towards the water, a street entry sequence is created via a covered porch and pergola. A private yard is created between the buildings, sheltered from both the street and lake. A covered lakeside porch provides shaded waterfront views.
