A key feature in the home’s energy efficiency is the use of the sun. Architect Christopher Briley designed the roof cutouts in the south-facing porch to capture the sun’s rays but angled them to let in the warm winter sun (which is lower in the sky) while blocking the hot, penetrating summer sun (which is higher in the sky).

Coastal Boho Bathroom: White Oak Elegance Meets Relaxed Charm This coastal boho bathroom design captures the essence of beachside tranquility while infusing it with a laid-back vibe. Featuring white oak cabinetry, the space is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, creating a serene oasis that reflects the beauty of coastal living. Key Features of This Bathroom Design: White Oak Cabinetry: The warm, natural tones of the white oak cabinetry provide a perfect foundation for the coastal theme. The wood's subtle grain adds character and warmth, evoking the feeling of driftwood found along the shore. Light and Airy Palette: Soft whites, sandy beiges, and muted blues complement the cabinetry, creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere reminiscent of the beach. This palette enhances natural light and fosters a sense of openness . Accents: Incorporating light color elements such as woven baskets and layered textiles introduces texture and warmth. These details add a personal touch, making the space feel inviting and relaxed.

This hallway captures the essence of Santa Fe Style Architecture, where adobe-plastered walls, hand-hewn ceiling beams, and brick floors create a warm, timeless character. Tall French doors frame views of the garden and fill the passage with natural light, reinforcing the seamless connection between interior and exterior living central to Adobe Architecture. The arched ceiling softens the corridor, adding elegance while honoring traditional forms found in Historic Preservation Santa Fe projects. Every detail—from the rustic furnishings to the contextual design—speaks to Custom Residential Design Santa Fe, blending regional authenticity with livable beauty. This passageway embodies the craftsmanship and cultural spirit of homes rooted in the Downtown Santa Fe Historic District.

This couple purchased a second home as a respite from city living. Living primarily in downtown Chicago the couple desired a place to connect with nature. The home is located on 80 acres and is situated far back on a wooded lot with a pond, pool and a detached rec room. The home includes four bedrooms and one bunkroom along with five full baths. The home was stripped down to the studs, a total gut. Linc modified the exterior and created a modern look by removing the balconies on the exterior, removing the roof overhang, adding vertical siding and painting the structure black. The garage was converted into a detached rec room and a new pool was added complete with outdoor shower, concrete pavers, ipe wood wall and a limestone surround. The inspiration was based on capturing the natural beauty of the landscape where the house is situated. It’s on 80 acres and has a large pond. Materials were minimal to embody the surroundings. The design was based on connecting the outside and inside and connecting people together.

This sun-filled farmhouse kitchen is the focal point of this home’s new addition. The kitchen is white with wood elements, giving it a contemporary feel. From the recessed outlets in the island, to the columns adorning the island, to the hood with walnut trim, to the paneled refrigerator that matches the cabinetry, every detail was customized for the homeowners. The kitchen is anchored by a large island with seating for seven and tons of storage. The island is bookended by additional components topped by walnut butcher block counters. One end serves as a table and the other end is an extra area for food prep and storage. There is also a cutting board integrated into the sink. The white quartz on the island and main kitchen counters and white subway tile backsplash give the kitchen a modern, sleek look. The walnut trim around the hood is a special touch that ties directly into the walnut butcher block counters. After tearing down this home's existing addition, we set out to create a new addition with a modern farmhouse feel that still blended seamlessly with the original house. The addition includes a kitchen great room, laundry room and sitting room. Outside, we perfectly aligned the cupola on top of the roof, with the upper story windows and those with the lower windows, giving the addition a clean and crisp look. Using granite from Chester County, mica schist stone and hardy plank siding on the exterior walls helped the addition to blend in seamlessly with the original house. Inside, we customized each new space by paying close attention to the little details. Reclaimed wood for the mantle and shelving, sleek and subtle lighting under the reclaimed shelves, unique wall and floor tile, recessed outlets in the island, walnut trim on the hood, paneled appliances, and repeating materials in a symmetrical way work together to give the interior a sophisticated yet comfortable feel.
