This “upside down” floorplan of the “Forest Retreat” in Pennsylvania flips the traditional home blueprint. Architect Gabe Hodge’s design places the main living areas, like the kitchen and living room, on the upper level of the home and the bedrooms on the lower level. Placing the living areas on the second floor maximizes opportunities for the homeowners to enjoy light and views of nature throughout the day. Various products from the Marvin Ultimate collection are used throughout the home; the collection offers unlimited customization and supports large glass sizes to achieve ultimate design flexibility. “I was impressed by our ability to truly customize our windows,” said the homeowner. “This house is so unique, so that customization really offered us the opportunity to have exactly what we wanted.”

Designed to embrace an extensive and unique art collection including sculpture, paintings, tapestry, and cultural antiquities, this modernist home located in north Scottsdale’s Estancia is the quintessential gallery home for the spectacular collection within. The primary roof form, “the wing” as the owner enjoys referring to it, opens the home vertically to a view of adjacent Pinnacle peak and changes the aperture to horizontal for the opposing view to the golf course. Deep overhangs and fenestration recesses give the home protection from the elements and provide supporting shade and shadow for what proves to be a desert sculpture. The restrained palette allows the architecture to express itself while permitting each object in the home to make its own place. The home, while certainly modern, expresses both elegance and warmth in its material selections including canterra stone, chopped sandstone, copper, and stucco.

This New England Cottage is actually located in Margate, NJ. Built on the footprint of the existing structure, this new beach house, completed in 2007, has an inviting open first floor plan. The dining room, in stage center, sits under a barrel vault ceiling. Beautiful open stairs lead to the next level. The second floor boasts not one, but two master bedroom suites, along with two additional bedrooms and a hall bath. The third floor completes the home with yet another bedroom suite and a large playroom. The exterior feels cozy with its stone façade, shingle style siding, and craftsman designed columns. The house graced the cover of the February/March issue of From House to Home magazine. “Our vision of a “beach cottage” was delivered above and beyond our expectations. No one can believe how spacious and functional this house is, sitting on our original lot. Our family loves and utilizes every room. Working with you was truly a pleasure, and your ability to take a concept to fruition was superb. Thanks again for a job well done!” Barry and Marlene Green
