Cummings Architecture + InteriorsWhen Cummings Architects first met with the owners of this understated country farmhouse, the building’s layout and design was an incoherent jumble. The original bones of the building were almost unrecognizable. All of the original windows, doors, flooring, and trims – even the country kitchen – had been removed. Mathew and his team began a thorough design discovery process to find the design solution that would enable them to breathe life back into the old farmhouse in a way that acknowledged the building’s venerable history while also providing for a modern living by a growing family.
The redesign included the addition of a new eat-in kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, wrap around porch, and stone fireplaces. To begin the transforming restoration, the team designed a generous, twenty-four square foot kitchen addition with custom, farmers-style cabinetry and timber framing. The team walked the homeowners through each detail the cabinetry layout, materials, and finishes. Salvaged materials were used and authentic craftsmanship lent a sense of place and history to the fabric of the space.
The new master suite included a cathedral ceiling showcasing beautifully worn salvaged timbers. The team continued with the farm theme, using sliding barn doors to separate the custom-designed master bath and closet. The new second-floor hallway features a bold, red floor while new transoms in each bedroom let in plenty of light. A summer stair, detailed and crafted with authentic details, was added for additional access and charm.
Finally, a welcoming farmer’s porch wraps around the side entry, connecting to the rear yard via a gracefully engineered grade. This large outdoor space provides seating for large groups of people to visit and dine next to the beautiful outdoor landscape and the new exterior stone fireplace.
Though it had temporarily lost its identity, with the help of the team at Cummings Architects, this lovely farmhouse has regained not only its former charm but also a new life through beautifully integrated modern features designed for today’s family.

Mark A. Miller Architects/Builders Inc.We designed a large curving balcony to achieve many goals: 1) balcony provides another space to the upper floor of this home, and outdoor "room" 2) the balcony connects a rear stairwell entrance to the main public living spaces 3) balcony re-focuses the house to the open side yard prized garden of the owner, his passion. The balcony acknowledges and honors his good work. 4) The curve of the balcony is continued into the living room and becomes the curve of a soffit with hidden lighting. This creates an indoor/outdoor continuity making the house plus the garden become "the home". 5) The flow of the balcony supports the flow of the garden path below it and moves good energy through the garden space and home.

Blackwell Hillside Garden by Rebecca Dye and Hank Helbush of Design Focus International
Each detail of this spectacular Saratoga landscape was considered with its hillside site in mind, from the size of the pool to the choice of antique stone masonry. Working closely with the owner, the landscape architects created a series of intimate garden spaces on three terraces. At the top of the site, entertainment is the name of the game where a bocce ball court and a fire pit take advantage of the site’s commanding views of the Santa Clara Valley. Below the house, a jewel-like pool captures the eye, with its intricate glass-tile and bronze water jets. At its end, a seating area and fireplace are shaded by an arbor covered with climbing roses, adding both fragrance and hue. Visitors descend a series of terraced stone stairs set into the hillside, punctuated by raised beds of strawberries, lavender, artichokes, and citrus. A formal parterre flower garden on the terrace is replanted periodically with colorful blooms in acknowledgment of the changing seasons. Photo by Lauren Devon
Meghan Shadrick InteriorsThe dining room off the kitchen incorporates an antique dining set the homeowners acquired a number of years ago. We replicated 1 chair to make a set of 6 since there had only been 5 chairs originally.
Sheila Rich Interiors, LLCThe brown sectional sofa and the blue woven ottoman set the tone for the room. The leather chairs have a whimsical and bright chenille fabric on the loose seat and back cushions. The sofa is large and in proportion to the 10' ceilings and the open floor plan; maintaining an open, airy feel for large or small groups.
The painting of a large wave acknowledges the home's beach location; a sisal area rug adds warmth with a natural element. Pale blue walls enhance and define fireplace as well as the beautiful moldings and millwork.

Barrel & Board DesignTo create a kitchen worthy of today's demands, we needed a larger space. The formal dining room provided exactly what we needed. The soft blue cabinets and backsplash are a gentle nod to 1900's with an open plan and size that acknowledges the kitchen requirements of today's families. Besides the beautiful double oven 48" Ilve range, the walnut vent hood and the corner fireplace, you won't want to miss the double refrigerators, pull out spices and well appointed butler's pantry.

Jaeger & Ernst Custom CabinetmakersScottish architect Charles R. Macintosh left an abundance of work and creative effort to inspire generations. This kitchen is one of those inspirations. Designed and created for a client's row house in the D.C. area by Jaeger & Ernst custom cabinetmakers the attempt was to open and lift the space, provide a truly efficient kitchen and to acknowledge just a little of the architecture of the home. Too many kitchen designers design without consideration of the total feel of a home's architectural elements. Subconsciously the trim, casings, window style, flooring, door design, newel post, exterior features, fireplaces, etc act to provide us with a sense of the home's purpose and intent and quality. Originally in the architect's or builder's mind there was purpose and intent. Yes, they did not have the wherewithal of modern conveniences but rest assured many had a strong sense of proportion, intent and purposefulness when the home was imagined and built. We do ourselves and our homes a disservice when we act without regard for the home's legacy. Restoration is a glad burden; restoration is not a thing to be gotten beyond, rather it's an exciting path of growth and appreciation.
