The Barn: Landscape + Architecture Elegant Oasis: Maximizing Entertaining Space
In reimagining this 14,233 sqft lot, the goal was to create a high-impact, space-efficient outdoor environment, where space meets sophistication for unrivaled outdoor entertaining.
This presentation outlines the thoughtfully designed elements which were meticulously integrated to maximize entertaining space within the constraints of the property.
The project commenced with relocating the pool to the furthest reaches of the property, respecting property line setbacks to amplify the area available for entertainment. Adjacent to the back door, a covered built-in kitchen and intimate seating area offer protection from both bugs and the scorching afternoon sun, thanks to a convenient drop-down screen.
The 18'x36' pool serves as the focal point, backed by an 18" masonry wall adorned with LED lighting accents. Behind this backdrop, a hedge of long-blooming hydrangeas and espalier-shaped European hornbeams complements the formal design, infusing the space with timeless elegance.
The pool deck features a sturdy 5" rebar-reinforced concrete overlay with Valders Dove White and gray stone laid in a herringbone pattern (5'x18" pieces). To address stormwater retention, a large drywell behind the pool was repurposed as the base for a putting green, encircled by permeable gravel and stone coping. Landscape lighting makes it perfect for endless fun, day and night.
To minimize the “fence feeling” and to distinguish the detached garage driveway, a grand outdoor fireplace and wall were constructed. This space also includes an outdoor TV and speaker system. A pergola, built from large steel I-beams and cedar, provides respite from the summer sun.
For continuity and aesthetic impact, the hydrangea hedge extends the entire length of the property, maximizing the use of the narrow 36" side.
The front of the property is equally striking. A heated concrete driveway, saw-cut into 5'x5' squares, provides a grand entrance. The front porch and walkway feature heated, randomly patterned bluestone, expertly set on a concrete sub-base. Two sets of garden walls enclose the front yard, with the closest to the front door boasting three water scuppers and a pondless waterfall system, creating a captivating ambiance for arriving guests.
The property's front and rear areas are adorned with various planting beds and containers, which are seasonally adapted to ensure a vibrant landscape year-round.
Formal, columnar trees, such as slender silhouette sweetgum, columnar tulip trees, sheared European hornbeams, and shaped tricolor beech, were chosen to harmonize with the property's architecture. Crushed blue granite gravel was used to cover all planting beds, maintaining a clean and low-maintenance appearance.
In conclusion, our project has not only met but exceeded our client's expectations by delivering a low-maintenance, high-impact, and space-efficient outdoor haven.

Nicole Arnold InteriorsThis high-rise condominium at The Mayfair longed for the renewal conceptualized in its 3 bathrooms. Each was a complete renovation, adding relevant aesthetic updates and much-needed functionality and storage. We capitalized on the immense amount of natural light in the primary bath and we amplified it throughout the space by opening up walls to the shower, lining the vanity with full-sized, built-in vanity mirrors, and distributing electrified lighting throughout. Custom cabinetry was designed to capture every inch of usable perimeter space and incorporate the elevated tub platform. The guest bath emulates a classic, luxury hotel feel infused with color, a great tile pattern on the focal shower wall, a furniture-style vanity, and a fun floor design. The powder bath is dark and moody with textural wallpaper and an espresso-colored porcelain floor tile emulating marble. All of the appointments throughout exude the luxury look and feel the client desired, are maintenance friendly and will stand the test of time.

We The People ConstructionWe The People Construction is proud to present the accomplished venture, the Outdated to Outstanding kitchen remodel. This project marks a transformation from a dated, dim kitchen into a bright, welcoming, and highly functional space.
A comprehensive kitchen remodel that was motivated by the homeowner's desire for a more modern and vibrant cooking area. The old, brown cabinets and dark brown countertop were replaced with pristine white cabinets and luxurious granite countertops. The choice of white not only modernizes the space but also amplifies the natural light, making the kitchen more inviting.
Taking center stage in this kitchen transformation is a standalone wooden counter, acting as both a visual anchor and a practical component. This island introduces an element of warmth with its natural wood finish, contrasting beautifully against the white surroundings.
One of the key features of this project is the side countertop, where four green upholstered stools are neatly arranged. This setup creates a casual dining or socializing area, encouraging interaction and conversation during meal prep times.
The sink, placed strategically in front of a large window, takes full advantage of the outdoor views and natural light. This thoughtful positioning enhances the overall ambiance and functionality of the kitchen. The window also allows the homeowner to enjoy the beautiful outdoors while carrying out daily chores.
Last but not least, the stainless-steel appliances were selected for their sleek design and durability. They add a contemporary touch to the overall aesthetic of the kitchen, completing the transformation from outdated to modern.
Anna PaolaThis kitchen needed to reflect the blue-and-bronze theme already weaved throughout the residence. Every inch of the space also needed to be optimized for heavy use.
To meet the client's requests, the MandiCasa New York design team used MandiCasa's Yota cabinets in Polvere matte lacquer, which proved to be a perfect match for the blue used throughout the home. Tall units using MandiCasa's Rho cabinets in Noce Caramel frame the composition, adding contrast and warmth to the design.
Three different styles of handles - all with a bronze finish - were used based on cabinet type and function. Countertops and backsplash in Light Leathered Quartzite make the blue and bronze elements pop even more.
On the island, the right column masks the pipe stacks and serves as an appliances garage. The left column was added for visual balance and is sheetrocked to display art. Even with the space taken up by the columns, the island manages to provide ample functionality. This includes a seating area, a large counter surface, the sink block, and storage cabinets and drawers of different sizes wrapped around its perimeter.
To the side of the kitchen, the wall was personalized with custom wallpaper in the same color scheme. It is an artistic element that ties the whole design together, connecting the kitchen with the rest of the home. On the same wall, a curved mirror finds its perfect place to reflect the kitchen, amplifying the perception of the space and the chromatic echoes that reverberate throughout the room.
Eisenbrandt CompaniesTimeless and transitional, this mudroom-kitchen addition was designed for maximum functionality and beauty.

With two efficient and separate spaces, the laundry room creates a perfect work zone with black fixtures and the mudroom keeps everything tucked away in style.
