The bold geometric backsplash creates a strong focal point behind the range, while the reconfigured layout improves circulation, prep space and connection across the remodeled kitchen.

The Watermill House is a beautiful example of a classic Hamptons wood shingle style home. The design and renovation would maintain the character of the exterior while transforming the interiors to create an open and airy getaway for a busy and active family. The house comfortably sits within its one acre lot surrounded by tall hedges, old growth trees, and beautiful hydrangeas. The landscape influenced the design approach of the main floor interiors. Walls were removed and the kitchen was relocated to the front of the house to create an open plan for better flow and views to both the front and rear yards. The kitchen was designed to be both practical and beautiful. The u-shape design features modern appliances, white cabinetry and Corian countertops, and is anchored by a beautiful island with a knife-edge marble countertop. The island and the dining room table create a strong axis to the living room at the rear of the house. To further strengthen the connection to the outdoor decks and pool area of the rear yard, a full height sliding glass window system was installed. The clean lines and modern profiles of the window frames create unobstructed views and virtually remove the barrier between the interior and exterior spaces. The open plan allowed a new sitting area to be created between the dining room and stair. A screen, comprised of vertical fins, allows for a degree of openness, while creating enough separation to make the sitting area feel comfortable and nestled in its own area. The stair at the entry of the house was redesigned to match the new elegant and sophisticated spaces connected to it. New treads were installed to articulate and contrast the soft palette of finishes of the floors, walls, and ceilings. The new metal and glass handrail was intended to reduce visual noise and create subtle reflections of light. Photo by Guillaume Gaudet

Space Copenhagen is the designer behind the classic Moon collection; a series of organic rounded tables for both domestic and public spaces. The interplay between the beautiful solid oak table top and the smooth half – or full moon shaped base, with bevelled surface, creates a simple yet strong identity of the design. The result is an elegant table series with clear references to traditional Danish carpentry. Through their fascination of the contrast between variations of surfaces and finishes, Space Copenhagen has designed their first table collection for GUBI. The collection spans from small and low round lounge tables in four sizes to three large and generous dining tables. The Moon Collection consists of dining tables and lounge tables both in different sizes.

This colorful lower-level bedroom takes full advantage of the home's full-exposure design, with expansive glass providing abundant natural light and a direct view of the backyard pool and surrounding landscape. Rich green walls and layered textiles create a warm, expressive retreat, while the dramatic art installation behind the bed reflects the homeowners' distinctive personal style. The strong indoor-outdoor connection makes the room feel bright and open while giving guests a front-row view of the home's outdoor living spaces.

The client required an entryway that conveyed openness and architectural clarity while integrating seamlessly with the rest of the home. High ceilings were leveraged to amplify verticality and natural light, creating a sense of expansiveness upon entry. A recessed wall niche anchors the space, while the alignment of the console and mirror establishes a strong central axis. Vertical glazing on the door and stair balusters reinforces rhythm and transparency, defining a spatial threshold that is both functional and architecturally cohesive.

Gorgeous "bamboo" glass tile brings on the shine! Extra glossy material keeps the dark glass tile from feeling too heavy. Contrasting color and pattern pictureframe over the range creates a strong focal point that draws the eye. Undercabinet lighting brings out the sparkle flecks in the white quartzite countertops.

After numerous add-ons and revisions over its 80-year life, this typical New England residence had ample space but lacked a workable front entry. The project involved designing a new entrance that would lead guests to the front of the house (ensuring that they bypass the kitchen door entry) and expand a mezzanine above the old entry. By creating an arched front door, ATMOSPHERE DESIGN established a strong, clear point of entry; the enlarged footprint allowed the upstairs bath to be expanded. Subtle but elegant leaded glass embedded with scrolling metal “tree branches” surrounding the new front door signify to arriving guests that this is the receiving portal. Photo © Silk Photography

Taking advantage of soaring ceilings in the kitchen, we combined strong horizontal and vertical elements, which mimic the view of the hills and lake valley. Custom backlit floating shelves highlight the tall marble look backsplashes, and provide task lighting. Retractable doors conceal the blender and smoothie station in the kitchen. Sleek custom veneer slab doors and a simple aesthetic create a soothing spa-like bath experience.

This style is ideal for creating a relaxed yet refined retreat—perfect for entertaining, family gatherings, or quiet reflection. It emphasizes comfort, versatility, and visual harmony, with a strong connection to nature.

Hamptons-Inspired Kitchen One cannot help but feel a distinct sense of serenity and timeless beauty when entering this Hamptons-style kitchen. Bathed in natural light and shimmering with inspired accents and details, this complete kitchen transformation is at once elegant and inviting. Plans and elevations were conceived to create balance and function without sacrificing harmony and visual intrigue. A metal custom hood, with an eye-catching brass band and impeccably balanced cabinets on either side, provides a strong focal point for the kitchen, which can be viewed from the adjacent living room. Brass faucets, hardware and light fixtures complement and draw further attention to this anchoring element. A wall of glass cabinetry enhances the existing windows and pleasantly expands the sense of openness in the space. Taj Mahal quartzite blends gracefully with the cabinet finishes. Cream-tone, herringbone tiles are custom-cut into different patterns to create a sense of visual movement as the eyes move across the room. An elegant, marble-top island paired with sumptuous, leather-covered stools, not only offers extra counterspace, but also an ideal gathering place for loved ones to enjoy. This unforgettable kitchen gem shines even brighter with the addition of glass cabinets, designed to display the client’s collection of Portmeirion china. Careful consideration was given to the selection of stone for the countertops, as well as the color of paint for the cabinets, to highlight this inspiring collection. Breakfast room A thoughtfully blended mix of furniture styles introduces a splash of European charm to this Hamptons-style kitchen, with French, cane-back chairs providing a sense of airy elegance and delight. A performance velvet adorns the banquette, which is piled high with lush cushions for optimal comfort while lounging in the room. Another layer of texture is achieved with a wool area rug that defines and accentuates this gorgeous breakfast nook with sprawling views of the outdoors. Finishing features include drapery fabric and Brunschwig and Fils Bird and Thistle paper, whose natural, botanic pattern combines with the beautiful vistas of the backyard to inspire a sense of being in a botanical, outdoor wonderland.

The inspiration for materials in the rear yard draws from the recently renovated interior spaces of the kitchen and living area. The design provides a seamless transition from inside to out. The limestone patio is sized to accommodate seating and gradually leads you out into the new lawn. The line of palms will provide some privacy from the neighbors and a strong focal element from the porch. The kids now have an engaging play space that was built to visually enhance the backyard, not detract from it. All of the new plantings are native and create a lush, serene atmosphere. photo by Matthew Bolt Charleston Home + Design Magazine
