A full historic restoration and renovation of a 1925 Carmel-by-the-Sea home, reimagined with a castle-inspired architectural theme. What began as a structural rejuvenation evolved into a comprehensive historic restoration, requiring close coordination with the local historic review board and county regulations to preserve the home's character while modernizing it for today's living. The result honors nearly a century of history while delivering a fully updated custom home.

Overlooking the majestic Hudson River, this lot once held a home constructed in the 1960s. To fulfill the owner's dream of creating a sleek modern aesthetic with a LEED mindset, MLA brought the house down to the foundation and began this custom build. The owners were interested in a house with sustainable functionality; high energy efficiency, geothermal heating throughout the home, and solar panels without sacrificing contemporary comfort. MLA transformed an outdated house into a sustainable riverfront oasis.

The grey trend has evolved in the last twelve months. Nowadays browns, beige and a touch of grey are in demand. Greige is the new buzzword. Heavier hand scraped or contoured products, the rage that started around 2005 has taken a back seat in most areas, while a softer wire brushed "ceruse effect" seen mostly on White Oak has been remarkably strong showing no effects of becoming “dated” like the others mentioned. Ceruse Color Possibilities There are numerous color combinations to the "cerused" process with the most popular being white or off white. This design trend in hardwood flooring can have darker gray white oak with a mild ceruse off white effect. There are limitless possibilities in either a prefinished hardwood floor or with what we can create for you in a custom on-site finished hardwood floor. If something suits your fancy, contact us and we can work on creating just the look and sense of style you are looking for.

Tucked away in the backwoods of Torch Lake, this home marries “rustic” with the sleek elegance of modern. The combination of wood, stone and metal textures embrace the charm of a classic farmhouse. Although this is not your average farmhouse. The home is outfitted with a high performing system that seamlessly works with the design and architecture. The tall ceilings and windows allow ample natural light into the main room. Spire Integrated Systems installed Lutron QS Wireless motorized shades paired with Hartmann & Forbes windowcovers to offer privacy and block harsh light. The custom 18′ windowcover’s woven natural fabric complements the organic esthetics of the room. The shades are artfully concealed in the millwork when not in use. Spire installed B&W in-ceiling speakers and Sonance invisible in-wall speakers to deliver ambient music that emanates throughout the space with no visual footprint. Spire also installed a Sonance Landscape Audio System so the homeowner can enjoy music outside. Each system is easily controlled using Savant. Spire personalized the settings to the homeowner’s preference making controlling the home efficient and convenient.
