I was asked to design a new family home, for a lot that is third row back from the beach. As you can see the lot had numerous trees, all leaning in various directions, had to be accounted for. Besides the neighborhood restrictions the town, imposes even tighter guidelines on the mass and size of the building.
The collaberation with my client has ended up with thise lovely new home, just waiting for memories to be made.
Hee we can see the covered front porch with an open air second porch above. To help with the efficiency of the floor plan, due to site limitation, that fromt entry door is tucked around on the left side of the home.
We wanted a the home to have a "beachy" vibe to the architecture style. I incorporated a number of "low country architectural" design elements to provide the beach cottage feel. We used NuCedar shingle siding for ease of maintance and Hardie trim, for the some reason. The home owner choose a bronze standing seam metal roof to compliment the soft grey shingle color.

With a cool neutral tone on the walls the Scandinavian inspired furnishings bring a pop of color and life with brilliant blues and greens.

Chesapeake Energy’s 74,000 sqft. Green Roof a Natural Turf Rooftop Sports Field
Chesapeake Energy is the second-largest producer of natural gas in North America, a Top 15 producer of oil and natural gas liquids and the most active driller of new wells in the country. Headquartered in Oklahoma City, the company’s operations are focused on discovering and developing unconventional natural gas and onshore oil fields in the U.S.
Chesapeake is in the midst of creating a central hub, “Chesapeake Campus” as CEO Aubrey McCLendon refers to it, on the NW corner of Oklahoma City. Centered in the middle of Chesapeake Campus is a 75,000 square foot natural grass rooftop athletic field built on top of Chesapeake’s new 3 level parking garage. Sporting events, social gatherings, concerts and much more is what this new wonder of Oklahoma City offers.
Chesapeake’s rooftop athletic field, designed by Elliott + Associates Architects, constructed by Smith & Pickel, and installed by Total Environment, not only brings aesthetic appeal to the streets of Oklahoma City, green roofing is a fantastic way to reduce the heat island effect of urban areas and capture storm water while creating enjoyable space for residents and employees. The environmental impact of a green roof is undeniable, adding significantly to the LEED Point system designed by the USGBC in all five major areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. Green roofing replaces the green space displaced by a building, prevents excess storm water drainage, reduces the temperature of a building and the urban heat island effect, protects and extends the useful life of a roof, and reduces energy demands.
Utilizing the AirField System as the drainage layer in a green roof design allows a complete inch of water storage space beneath the entire surface plus it is incredibly strong and light weight. The AirField AirDrain geocell is also easy to work with, install and fashion in unique layouts.
What’s more, a green roof incorporating AirDrain means your design includes renewable, recycled, and locally obtained materials. We know you have a choice in designing a green roof, and we hope you consider the many benefits of AirDrain. Build a better green roof with AirField. Some Benefits of AirField in a green roofing system include: 100% vertical drainage under entire surface, 100% post manufactured recycled material, rapid water movement, minimal site disturbance, fast installation, light weight, incredible load bearing strength test at an empty 233 PSI/ 33,552 PSF.
The list of major sustainable projects for AirField Systems of Oklahoma keeps growing and includes Chesapeake’s Central Park, Chesapeake’s Building # 14 rooftop, Whittier Middle School’s natural grass fire lane and Oklahoma State Cowboys T. Boone Picken’s Stadium’s game field along with hundreds of sustainable projects nationally.

The Appledale Crescent Total Home Transformation was a comprehensive whole-home renovation in Waterloo, Ontario. Havenridge Build managed the project from planning and design through construction and final completion, transforming the existing home into a bright, functional and cohesive space designed for modern family living.
The renovation brought the home’s kitchen, bathrooms, living areas, bedrooms and other interior spaces together with a consistent transitional design. Thoughtful layouts, timeless finishes, custom details and quality craftsmanship were used throughout to improve functionality while giving the entire home a fresh, unified appearance.
This project reflects Havenridge Build’s full-service design-build approach, with one accountable team coordinating the renovation from beginning to end.

The post features a 13-second video tour of a Provence kitchen renovation, displaying white shaker cabinets, terracotta tile floors, subway tile backsplashes, and integrated appliances for a minimalist rustic look.
Creations en Bois, the posting account, operates from Cotignac in Provence, France, focusing on custom woodworking like textured linen furniture and bespoke cabinetry, as shown in their recent Instagram highlights.
This design embodies Provence style trends, merging traditional earthy elements with modern efficiency, which a 2025 YouTube analysis notes as increasingly popular for its blend of heritage charm and practicality in European renovations.

Driven by ambitious decarbonization goals, this project upgraded aging HVAC and water heating systems while enhancing indoor environmental quality and connectivity. At the same time, rebuilding an old, poorly enclosed back porch provided the opportunity to enhance indoor-outdoor connection and interior flow. Overcoming technical challenges, architects implemented continuous insulation and air sealing, using energy modeling and embodied carbon accounting to balance performance and aesthetics. Together with the addition of solar panels, the result is a fully decarbonized, ILFI Zero Energy-certified, all-electric house with improved insulation, air quality, and sustainability. This innovative retrofit, completed on a tight budget, serves as a replicable model for transforming older homes into efficient, environmentally friendly residences.

Matteo Gennari's advantage is the fact that he is the designer, but also the manufacturer, fabricator, artisan and installer. This creates a completely superior advantage for anyone who would like to create a one of a kind space by eliminating any potential conflict between design and execution. Every aspect of the design from planning to construction is fully accounted for, resulting in stunning spaces with an artistic spirit the permeates square inch of the room.
