The client’s request was quite common - a typical 2800 sf builder home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living space, and den. However, their desire was for this to be “anything but common.” The result is an innovative update on the production home for the modern era, and serves as a direct counterpoint to the neighborhood and its more conventional suburban housing stock, which focus views to the backyard and seeks to nullify the unique qualities and challenges of topography and the natural environment. The Terraced House cautiously steps down the site’s steep topography, resulting in a more nuanced approach to site development than cutting and filling that is so common in the builder homes of the area. The compact house opens up in very focused views that capture the natural wooded setting, while masking the sounds and views of the directly adjacent roadway. The main living spaces face this major roadway, effectively flipping the typical orientation of a suburban home, and the main entrance pulls visitors up to the second floor and halfway through the site, providing a sense of procession and privacy absent in the typical suburban home. Clad in a custom rain screen that reflects the wood of the surrounding landscape - while providing a glimpse into the interior tones that are used. The stepping “wood boxes” rest on a series of concrete walls that organize the site, retain the earth, and - in conjunction with the wood veneer panels - provide a subtle organic texture to the composition. The interior spaces wrap around an interior knuckle that houses public zones and vertical circulation - allowing more private spaces to exist at the edges of the building. The windows get larger and more frequent as they ascend the building, culminating in the upstairs bedrooms that occupy the site like a tree house - giving views in all directions. The Terraced House imports urban qualities to the suburban neighborhood and seeks to elevate the typical approach to production home construction, while being more in tune with modern family living patterns.

In this case, we designed and built this attractive raised deck, making room for a spa to be set against it. Initially a conceptual design -- be it of wood or stone -- consists of lines on paper or a vision in your head, but ultimately it is a unique balance and culmination of materials utilizing color, texture, scale and shape that is very personal. www.longislandhottub.com

The uneven back yard was graded into ¬upper and lower levels with an industrial style, concrete wall. Linear pavers lead the garden stroller from place to place alongside a rain garden filled with swaying grasses that spans the side yard and culminates at a gracefully arching pomegranate tree, branches laden with impossibly red blossoms and fruit.

Casual and elegant, this English garden culminates in the perfect thoughtful spot. (Photo by RStarovich)

The Pool Billiard Room. This poolhouse was the culmination of how every project should be. A design build company working closely with their in-house technology division to ensure that every detail is accounted for.

All bedrooms and major spaces have access to light and views. Operable windows are integrated into these spaces for natural ventilation. The residence culminates in a large sunlit office and art studio on the top floor

The living room’s vaulted ceiling culminates in a 14-foot high window wall looking out to the lake. More windows on the other walls naturally light the space. Flanked by custom built-in cabinetry and, the modern look of the wood-burning fireplace is a strong focal point.

The site for this home in Pound Ridge, New York, is a south-facing, thirty-three acre, boulder-strewn escarpment. It rises over one hundred feet, from a wetland below that feeds a small stream to the ridge above that is the town’s namesake. The home is the culmination of a carefully crafted journey ascending the glacial terrain, with nature and man participating equally in its formation and management. The journey begins over a hundred feet below as the entry drive wraps around a small pond that holds and filters water from the ridge above.
