What Makes an Ocean Wave, Wave?
The quintessential New England ocean-front cottage poised for perfection, how could you possibly improve? What was already an amazing property on the shore in Ipswich, MA, gave way to a ‘face lift’. The ocean facing roofline with steep pitch created a blank canvas, our favorite! Constructing an eyebrow shaped dormer transformed the second floor by ‘opening the home’s eyes’, adding a master bedroom suite and reading nook…to die for. Ocean views and natural light were maximized by the strong use of glass and transparent finishes. The dramatic roofline resembles an ocean wave, befitting of the home’s coastal cottage location and style.

An historic Spanish Colonial residence built in 1925 being redesigned and furnished for a modern-day Southern California family was the challenge. The interiors of the main house needed the backgrounds set and then a timeless collection created for its furnishings. Lifestyle was always a consideration as well as the interiors relating to the strong architecture of the residence. Natural colors such as terra cotta, tans, blues, greens, old red and soft vintage shades were incorporated throughout. Our goal was to maintain the historic character of the residence combining design elements and materials considered classic in Southern California Spanish Colonial architecture. Natural fiber textiles, leathers and woven linens were the predominated upholstery choices. A 7000 square foot basement was added and furnished to provide a gym, Star Wars theater, game areas, spa area and a simulator for indoor golf and other sports.
Antiques were selected throughout the world, fine art from major galleries, custom reproductions fabricated in the old-world style. Collectible carpets were selected for the reclaimed hardwood flooring in all the areas. An estancia and garden over the basement were created and furnished with old world designs and materials as reclaimed woods, terra cotta and French limestone flooring.

This home has a split roof, divided by the chimney. This particular roof design does create its own set of concerns. Gutter cleaning can be tricky, as the only strong support for a ladder is the chimney itself; however this involves trying to clean the gutters while facing them at an awkward angle, increasing the danger of a fall from a ladder. These issues make the gutter guards a good choice, and professional cleaning important home maintenance.

This kitchen is a dream space for any stone lover! The deep, veined stone surfaces on the countertops and backsplash add a rich, dramatic feel, grounding the room with a natural, organic vibe. The sleek waterfall island creates a strong centerpiece, showcasing the beauty of the stone’s texture and color.
Paired with warm wood cabinetry and brass accents, like the elegant faucet and pendant lights, this kitchen strikes the perfect balance between warmth and sophistication. The brass hardware adds just the right amount of glam, contrasting beautifully against the earthy stone and soft wood tones.

This is a comfortable, hearty accent chair that makes a bold and updated reference to mid-century modern design. Strong, square lines are softened by curved shelter arms upholstered in plush chenille fabric, all encased in an espresso-finished lattice wood frame. While understated, creates a design presence that cannot be missed. Works great as a set of two or pairs beautifully with the sofa.

Dark vertical wood paneling grounds one wall, and a simple pendant provides focused light above the table. The compact arrangement creates a comfortable setting for everyday meals with a strong connection to the view.

This bathroom joins the formal sitting room. You can see the damask pattern in the hallway. Because the marble has a strong pattern we decided to go with a more subtle finish in the bathroom. Continuing the strie that was used in the sitting room without the stencil joins the areas thematically.
