Project Description: This lake house transformation will be executed in three distinct phases, each aimed at modernizing and enhancing the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the property. In the first phase, the main entry glazing will be replaced with two large overhead openings, creating a grander entrance and allowing more natural light to flood the interior. A concrete driveway will be installed in front of these overhead openings, providing a versatile space for hosting gatherings, especially since the house is situated near the lake. Additionally, the height of the existing garage will be increased to accommodate larger vehicles or create additional storage space. The second phase focuses on enclosing the upper porch deck, converting it into a versatile enclosed space that can serve as an extended living or recreational area while maintaining panoramic views of the lake. In the final phase, the foundation stone will be spruced up to enhance its durability and visual appeal. New siding and a modern roof will be installed, featuring black highlights to provide a sleek and contemporary touch to the overall exterior design.

Located in the highly sought-after Allwood neighborhood of Darien, this spec house is the fourth collaboration with a client who first began with a renovation of her own home. While architecturally it is a traditional home from the exterior, the interiors are more transitional in style. In order to compete in the speculative market, our client’s directive was clear – ‘differentiation the kitchen design from every other spec house’. So we incorporated painted cabinetry but highlighted with rift-cut white oak base cabinets. This contrast between these finishes influenced our decision to select a subtle white quartzite countertop to deliberately highlight the striking porcelain backsplash. The steel and glass partition frames the space – drawing the eye to the focal point of the kitchen, the custom stainless steel hood. Gold hardware adds a pop of flair to the space and warms the room. Walnut drawer inserts, stainless steel appliance garage, pull out trash drawers with compost bins and a stylish desk make this the Gold Standard of spec houses.

These clients came to my office looking for an architect who could design their "empty nest" home that would be the focus of their soon to be extended family. A place where the kids and grand kids would want to hang out: with a pool, open family room/ kitchen, garden; but also one-story so there wouldn't be any unnecessary stairs to climb. They wanted the design to feel like "old Pasadena" with the coziness and attention to detail that the era embraced. My sensibilities led me to recall the wonderful classic mansions of San Marino, so I designed a manor house clad in trim Bluestone with a steep French slate roof and clean white entry, eave and dormer moldings that would blend organically with the future hardscape plan and thoughtfully landscaped grounds. The site was a deep, flat lot that had been half of the old Joan Crawford estate; the part that had an abandoned swimming pool and small cabana. I envisioned a pavilion filled with natural light set in a beautifully planted park with garden views from all sides. Having a one-story house allowed for tall and interesting shaped ceilings that carved into the sheer angles of the roof. The most private area of the house would be the central loggia with skylights ensconced in a deep woodwork lattice grid and would be reminiscent of the outdoor “Salas” found in early Californian homes. The family would soon gather there and enjoy warm afternoons and the wonderfully cool evening hours together. Working with interior designer Jeffrey Hitchcock, we designed an open family room/kitchen with high dark wood beamed ceilings, dormer windows for daylight, custom raised panel cabinetry, granite counters and a textured glass tile splash. Natural light and gentle breezes flow through the many French doors and windows located to accommodate not only the garden views, but the prevailing sun and wind as well. The graceful living room features a dramatic vaulted white painted wood ceiling and grand fireplace flanked by generous double hung French windows and elegant drapery. A deeply cased opening draws one into the wainscot paneled dining room that is highlighted by hand painted scenic wallpaper and a barrel vaulted ceiling. The walnut paneled library opens up to reveal the waterfall feature in the back garden. Equally picturesque and restful is the view from the rotunda in the master bedroom suite.

This modern transitional powder room was designed to maximize style, functionality, and timeless appeal within a compact footprint. By combining classic architectural details with carefully selected contemporary finishes, the space feels bright, elegant, and inviting. A custom soft sage green shaker vanity serves as the focal point, complemented by a polished white quartz countertop and brushed brass plumbing fixtures. Glossy white subway tile installed in a horizontal running bond reflects natural light throughout the room, while a classic black-and-white mosaic floor adds texture, contrast, and character. The wall-mounted toilet creates a clean, streamlined appearance while maximizing floor space, making the room feel larger and more open. A single-panel interior plantation shutter provides privacy while allowing natural light to brighten the space. Layered brass lighting, botanical artwork, and thoughtfully curated accessories complete the design, creating a warm, spa-inspired atmosphere. This concept demonstrates how timeless materials, balanced proportions, and thoughtful detailing can transform a small bathroom into a sophisticated retreat that is both practical and visually refined.

The living room has a built-in media niche. The cabinet doors are paneled in white to match the walls while the top is a natural live edge in Monkey Pod wood. The feature wall was highlighted by the use of modular arts in the same color as the walls but with a texture reminiscent of ripples on water. On either side of the TV hang a cluster of wooden pendants. The paneled walls and ceiling are painted white creating a seamless design. The teak glass sliding doors pocket into the walls creating an indoor-outdoor space. The great room is decorated in blues, greens and whites, with a jute rug on the floor, a solid log coffee table, slip covered white sofa, and custom blue and green throw pillows.
