Perched on a knoll atop a lakeside peninsula, this transitional home combines English manor-inspired details with more contemporary design elements. The exterior is constructed from Doggett Mountain stone and wavy edge siding topped with a slate roof. The front porch with limestone surround leads to quietly luxurious interiors featuring plaster walls and white oak floors, and highlighted by limestone accents and hand-wrought iron lighting.

These were just regular Home Depot tiles that we picked up to add something special to this floor tile design. Walkways can be somewhat dangerous with area rugs or trip hazards, but the customer didn't want just plain floor tile design either. This is what we came up with. The darker brown mosaic tile matches the tile we used for the kitchen backsplash, and the inner tile was a shade darker and a size smaller than the outer tile.

Hammer & Hand and architect Mitch Snyder transformed a hot, cramped, non-code-compliant attic space into a bright and functional master suite. The existing upstairs attic space had two small and hard-to-access bedrooms and a dangerous staircase. The team added a new dormer on the west side of the house which added an additional 195 square feet to the home. The new space includes a master bedroom, master bathroom with vanity and shower, separate water closet, laundry, walk-in master closet, and option to add a small bedroom (the space is currently being used as an open office area). Additional improvements to the home include an upgraded building envelope, insulation, high efficiency water heater, and minisplit heat pump. Photos by Mitchell Snyder Architecture.

The steeply-graded slope to the sports court was dangerous and lacking in aesthetic cohesion. By creating the new split-level retaining wall and using existing honeycomb boulders as accents for the pancake boulder staircase, this space is now a gorgeous pathway to the court and chipping green. To create even more cohesion, we have created a custom metal handrail that perfectly matches the rails on the meandering front yard stairway

This deck was falling apart, and the wood was rotting and becoming dangerous; it was important to fix this issue. Our client’s dream was to easily serve meals from the kitchen in an enjoyable outdoor eating space. It was a MUST to have enough deck support for the hot tub so that our clients could happily use it daily. They wanted to add a window that opens to the covered deck and a beautiful serving counter, it made it much easier for our client to serve her guests while enjoying the beautiful weather and having a space to entertain.

After remodeling their 1905 Craftsman house, the homeowners were ready to tackle the yard. The front was easily spruced up with a new walkway and plantings, but the steep, wooded backyard was a much bigger challenge. Rebuilding a failing retaining wall was the first step to creating access to the previously overgrown space. A custom gate echoes a motif from inside the house. Concrete patios with natural stone steps provide space for a hot tub and fire pit, completely transforming the dangerous eyesore.

This spacious kitchen in Westchester County is flooded with light from huge windows on 3 sides of the kitchen plus two skylights in the vaulted ceiling. The dated kitchen was gutted and reconfigured to accommodate this large kitchen with crisp white cabinets and walls. Ship lap paneling on both walls and ceiling lends a casual-modern charm while stainless steel toe kicks, walnut accents and Pietra Cardosa limestone bring both cool and warm tones to this clean aesthetic. Kitchen design and custom cabinetry, built ins, walnut countertops and paneling by Studio Dearborn. Architect Frank Marsella. Interior design finishes by Tami Wassong Interior Design. Pietra cardosa limestone countertops and backsplash by Marble America. Appliances by Subzero; range hood insert by Best. Cabinetry color: Benjamin Moore Super White. Hardware by Top Knobs.

The bathroom had good bones but was lacking light, had a weird industrial metal insert in the wall, and had a one-piece stainless-steel shower insert that was dangerously slippery. In the bathroom, we replaced the mirror with a unique hexagon shape that echoes the gradient hexagon encaustic tile in the shower. A new penny round shower floor was installed for extra traction and frameless glass shower door was added to keep the bathroom bright and open. An accent of stainless-steel corner shelves in the shower add function without distracting from the great pattern. Giving new life to the existing distressed vanity cabinet, the new Cambria Quartz countertop matches the kitchen countertops. This loft now matches the artistic vibes of the building, the personality of the homeowner, and imparts the quality this homeowner deserves so she can enjoy it for many years to come.

Note that the large, mounded accent grass in the previous photo is California native Deer Grass, not an arson grass (Feather, Fountain or Pampas Grass). While they have similar aesthetics, their performance is wildly different. Arson Grasses readily ignite and will escape gardens to increase the fire danger in neighboring wild spaces. While the golden wands of seed heads seen here may appear dry, they launch from a dense, hydrated mound of greenery during the rainy season, whereas arson grasses themselves will dry in summer heat.
