Over the past two years, we have had the pleasure of furnishing this gorgeous Craftsman room by room. When our client first came to us in late 2018, she had just purchased this home for a fresh start with her son. This home already had a great foundation, but we wanted to ensure our client's personality shone through with her love of soft colors and layered textures. We transformed this blank canvas into a cozy home by adding wallpaper, refreshing the window treatments, replacing some light fixtures, and bringing in new furnishings.

New homeowners wanted redesign of existing landscape to a beach style. The new planting scheme included summer flowering shrubs like Hydrangeas, perennials, grasses and groundcovers with colorful foliage and flowers these included peonies, variegated Turf Lily, Lavender and Dwarf Fountain grass (a client favorite) which were added to the renovated planting beds at t the front of the house.

When it comes to rain gutters, size truly does matter. Gutters that are five inches or smaller are prone to clogging. Clogs are a problem because they cause water to spill over the sides of the gutter and near your foundation. This can result in landscape erosion and wet basements. In addition, gutters that are too small can overflow with rainwater. For our client Tim, the size of his 1960’s home’s rain gutters proved problematic because they were too small to correctly divert water away. That's why he made the switch to LeafGuard® Brand Gutters.

Our clients came to us with a dream to create a home that was beautiful, filled with classic details yet embody a Modern French aesthetic. We started with the foundation, selecting materials that would be the building blocks for our design. One of the joys of this project was the client's love of color, primarily in hues of blue. A special moment in the kitchen with its jewel-like Azul Macauba Quartzite countertop, brass hardware, and sailor’s coat blue island. As we are designing for a family, practical touches along with luxury elements were a must. Creative thinking was used to reimagine the entry closet into a multi-purpose space including the laundry, drop zone, and pantry. The master bath was filled with a classic design from the scones, wallcoverings to crystal hardware...all to transport you to a french apartment overlooking the streets of Paris. A modern twist inserted was the approach for the family room fireplace. The clean lines of stacked stone were the perfect touch. Our clients' dream home became reality in our Modern French Project and will be loved for years to come.

Battle Architects creates a lot of great projects with great clients but always appreciates the opportunity to work with a client again. The clients have worked with Battle Architects on a few projects on their home in Concord, MA. The remodeling of 1980’s kitchen maintained the floor plans while creating visual interest. The cabinetry includes high glass cupboards to house special curios and allows for an easy, elegant transition into the contiguous family room. Surfaces such as the soap stone counter surrounding the farm sink and the wooden dining bar, were selected to accommodate the preferences of an active cook. The new barn was built several years after the house, carefully positioned on a corner of the property, coordinating with the original architecture. An Artist’s ceramic retreat was built celebrating rustic materials, and ceramics embedded in the concrete foundation.

We renovated the exterior and the 4-car garage of this colonial, New England-style estate in Haverford, PA. The 3-story main house has white, western red cedar siding and a green roof. The detached, 4-car garage also functions as a gentleman’s workshop. Originally, that building was two separate structures. The challenge was to create one building with a cohesive look that fit with the main house’s New England style. Challenge accepted! We started by building a breezeway to connect the two structures. The new building’s exterior mimics that of the main house’s siding, stone and roof, and has copper downspouts and gutters. The stone exterior has a German shmear finish to make the stone look as old as the stone on the house. The workshop portion features mahogany, carriage style doors. The workshop floors are reclaimed Belgian block brick. RUDLOFF Custom Builders has won Best of Houzz for Customer Service in 2014, 2015 2016 and 2017.

Sunday, May 31, 10:00 to 11:30am | Beverly Hills Coldwater Canyon Residence by Mark Tessier of Mark Tessier Landscape Architecture The expansive views from this mountaintop property are a defining feature of this residence. With a passion for modern architecture and art, the clients wanted their garden to reflect their aesthetic and honor the California lifestyle. To meet their needs, the firm crafted a series of family-friendly outdoor rooms for living and entertaining. To highlight the architecture, concrete provides a unifying thread to join spaces together and define structure—sometimes solid, in other places becoming eroded walls and gravel walkways. At the entry to this serene garden, a sculptural concrete bridge arches over a Koi pond and water feature. Quiet, meditative pathways lead to gathering spaces shaded by willow trees and guide guests by the pool to floating wood platforms with lounge seating. On a carpet of Ipe wood, open-air dining and entertaining at a custom designed laser-cut tile table is enjoyed under retractable steel shade structures. In the rear garden, the designer provided a place for the clients to socialize by an outdoor fireplace, swim in the pool, relax on floating platforms, and take in the views. Native plants are interspersed with the client’s favored planting palette, a diverse selection of succulents and exotic species. Photos by David Laurdison

Our new clients desired a sleek, modern deck for their Wellesley Hills home. Our crews first task was to demolish the original deck- removing all of the wood decking, balusters, railings and newel posts from the deck and staircase. New Azek 5/4”x6” Slate Gray decking were installed with a beautiful Mahogany horizontal slat railing system. Two coats of stain were applied to the railings, along with new coats of Benjamin Moore paint on the deck joists, support column, lattice work and concrete walls along the homes foundation. The result: a beautiful deck our clients can enjoy for years to come!

A photo of the front before the landscape was installed, with only grass and one undistinguished tree (now removed, and replaced with a flowering Saucer Magnolia and a mixed bulb/perennials garden). There were no foundation plantings, and there was parking for only 2 cars. The gardens were transformed in phases over a number of years. The client brief was for a garden with 4-season interest, with a mixed planting of trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs and ground cover. The intention was to have an organic garden which attracted pollinators and birds, as well as being a relaxing retreat for a family of 5. The soft- and hardscaping were phased in gradually both in the front and backyard.

GB General Contractors recently completed this 304-square-foot home addition, seamlessly blending new space with the home’s existing architecture. As a local, family-owned business with over 47 years of experience, we focused on high-quality craftsmanship, structural integrity, and clear communication throughout the build. From foundational work to final finishes, this project was carefully executed to deliver a functional, beautiful space tailored to our client's needs.
