Innovation House’s design team worked just as hard hand-selecting finishes for the exterior of the home as they did the interior in order to create a dramatic first impression for guests that would also perform to the standards of a busy family. Innovation House’s courtyard begins at the edge of the home’s grand circular drive. Branching to the right of the main structure, the contrasting stone driveway pavers lead you into an artfully designed garage and courtyard space. The stonework, hardwood garage doors, dark aluminum railings and natural finish porch supports comprise a majority of the space’s hardscape. Innovation House’s design team built two separate garage structures: one two car garage attached to the house and another two car garage opposite the first lending a carriage house feel. Just past an elegant low profile stone dividing wall is expansive green space for family play and relaxation. A combination of colorful in-ground plantings and sculptural container planters evokes a decidedly English garden feel. To add drama and a way to easily find the side doors, Innovation House’s design team used a combination of sleek recessed landscape lights and traditional carriage lights. The continued stone work helps draw visual attention beyond the garages and verdant carpet of grass to a welcoming outdoor kitchen and living area complete with large stone fireplace, gas grill with custom butcher block grill cart, and stone topped food preparation space.

Blending contemporary and historic styles requires innovative design and a well-balanced aesthetic. That was the challenge we faced in creating a modern kitchen for this historic home in Lynnfield, MA. The final design retained the classically beautiful spatial and structural elements of the home while introducing a sleek sophistication. We mixed the two design palettes carefully. For instance, juxtaposing the warm, distressed wood of an original door with the smooth, brightness of non-paneled, maple cabinetry. A cork floor and accent cabinets of white metal add texture while a seated, step-down peninsula and built in bookcase create an open transition from the kitchen proper to an inviting dining space. This is truly a space where the past and present can coexist harmoniously. Photo Credit: Eric Roth

The White Shaker bathroom vanity and tub deck are topped with custom Classic "Carrera" White Marble 3cm counter tops. They both feature a flat polish edge with a slight pencil round top profile. We then fit them with Chrome Danze, Inc "Opulence" wide spread fixtures to match the shower. Rectangle under-mount sinks are rapidly growing in popularity and here next to our rectangular tub we can certainly see why. The walls are painted with Sherwin-Williams "Tradewinds SW6218" satin paint to provide the perfect complement to our "Quaint Carrera" Bathroom design and remodel in this Memorial West Home.

Architect: Michelle Penn, AIA This luxurious European Romantic design utilizes a high contrast color palette. The home theater utilizes a raised seating concept. It was built simply out of 2x4s with several steps that you can see in another photo. The idea is if the room technology changes or the room function changes, the owner can easily remove the platform! Enjoy the show the the cozy loveseats! Sherwin Williams Paint - Griffin SW 7026.
