Envisioning a revitalized outdoor space, our client approached AMA Development for a comprehensive deck renovation project. With a desire for modern elegance, they eagerly awaited the architectural renderings of the proposed deck. Our team meticulously crafted a two-tier design, seamlessly integrating contemporary elements to elevate the space.

Picture a wonderful evening swim in the luxurious pavers pool. The warmth surrounds you as the family gathers around the beautiful firepit, eagerly awaiting the sunset. Laughter and smiles fill the air, while a gentle breeze kisses your face, bringing solace to your soul. In this moment of pure goodness, you feel this memory will always hold a special place in your heart.

Our designer has achieved a stylish look by combining dark cabinets and light-colored marbles.

As Autumn swiftly approaches, we reflect upon another Summer made special through kinship with family and friends and we eagerly await a new season of exhilarating outdoor living. Autumn excites us with its offering of cool crisp air, brilliantly vibrant foliage, aromas of apple cider and pumpkin spice and sounds of leaves rustling in the wind and crackling beneath our feet. Indeed, it is a joyous time for playing, relaxing and entertaining outdoors.

I took pause a couple of weeks ago to head out with my children to the edges of our meadow. We had a special task at hand that day, to collect milkweed seeds for my Aunt and Uncle’s cabin in the Catskills. It’s a place I’ve been visiting for decades and a place my children now visit. We simply refer to it as “The Cabin”. That afternoon we gathered milkweed pods and settled into the simple joy of watching the ethereal seeds travel on a puff of air. Seasons ago, my children began to make “wishes” on the seeds, inspired by their lightness and grace as they journeyed high into the clouds. In this spirit, we conjure our wishes each fall in hopes that they will take root and thrive next spring after our winter of inwardness has passed. I have the suspicion that many unclaimed wishes made their way into our basket that afternoon and are eagerly awaiting their new place at The Cabin.

Eagerly awaiting retirement, a New England-based client acquired a property in a former office building in central Lisbon. Artfully refurbished by Frederico Valsassina Arquitectos, the façade is composed of geometric strata of medium-gray panels alternating with weathered vertical staves. Our studio’s brief was to furnish and equip the interior of the vacation home to converse with the architecture, so family and friends visiting Lisbon would stay in an elegant, private setting, filled with locally-made and designer items. Upon entering, a small shelf and mirror function as a welcome valet. The corridor opens to a cozy living room with lambent afternoon light let in by large sliding doors. Just outside, the balcony sports a café table and chairs set for an aperitivo. An enveloping sofa, produced in Portugal, and an organic recliner, create an intimate lounge area facing a classic, modular media cabinet. An artisan-made wool ottoman adds a beat of color; the lights speak in plump opaline glass and thin black metal rods. The glass top of the dining table fades into the space, leaving its sculptural, marine blue base; in a play of textures, the upholstery of the dining chairs coordinates elegantly with the smoked glass. Tile, oak, and stainless steel come together in a custom kitchen island, with additional counter space and convenient storage. As the interior is replete with oiled oak in the floors, baseboards, doors, and cabinetry, matching wood furniture warms the bedrooms. The vertical spindles of the beds recall the pattern of the exterior façade. Laptop work is accommodated by a small console desk with a chair clothed in burgundy. Acorn-shaped pendants, inviting bed linens and rugs, and undulating curtains, all in the warm white of the walls, form a nest for relaxation.
