Living room - transitional formal living room idea in New York with gray walls

Designed as a retreat for a couple transitioning into retirement, this 5,000-sq-ft home balances traditional charm with modern comfort, preserving key architectural details while enhancing functionality. This expanded kitchen features a sleek marble island, modern leather barstools, and custom cabinetry. The removal of a load-bearing wall, replaced by an LVL beam, creates a more open, airy space.

We needed a bridge to cross the dry creek bed, so I designed a version of a Japanese yatsuhashi, or zig zag, bridge. It is clad in concrete backer board. I wanted to simulate a granite mountain plateau with a boulder peak. The client purchased the concrete lantern which perfectly complements the entrance to this woodland garden. Photo by Jay Sifford
