Reconfigured over time, the historic orientation of this beautiful residence was reversed, posing an architectural challenge for Morpurgo Architects. Our design created facades that would function with the original entry yet face the great lawn in the back of the house. We conceived a two-story, open living space that utilizes the exterior stone on the fireplace and along an interior wall. We fashioned a sculptural staircase that emulates details of an existing stair, reduced to an elegant simplicity. Our additions and restoration of the structure were supported by our client’s desire to maintain the quality and workmanship of the historic residence. The stonework, which was hand-cut, dressed and aged to duplicate the 200-year old masonry, is an example of our mutual commitment to the preservation of our treasured past.

Over time, a well-loved painted furniture piece will show distinctive signs of wear and use. Each chip and dent tells a story of its history through layers of paint. With its beautifully aged surface and chipped edges, Dura Supreme’s Heritage Paint collection is designed to resemble a cherished family heirloom. Dura Supreme artisans hand-detail the surface to create the look of time worn distressing. Finishes are layered to emulate the look of furniture that has been refinished over the years. A layer of stain is covered with a layer of paint with special effects to age the surface. The paint is then chipped away along corners and edges to create, the signature look of Heritage Paint. Dura Supreme’s Heritage Paint collection, of finishes can be selected on Maple for a smooth surface or Knotty Alder for a more rugged, rustic look. A beautiful palette of soft muted colors is available on any of our raised or flat panel door styles to create the perfect focal point for your home.

This bathroom features SOLLiD Designer Series Frameless Metro cabinets in Cherry with custom niche and panel. The porcelain tile emulates limestone and ties in well with the granite countertops. The exterior door was finished to match the cherry colored cabinets. The barn door glass surround emphasizes the stacked tile in the shower and the LED lighting adds a designer element to the whole space. Our architect client really challenged us with the design they came up. It required some custom features like the niche and panel and some challenging installations with the cabinets, tile and lighting.

This coastal kitchen was custom designed with rift cut white oak and painted white cabinetry. Oak beams were added to provoke a farmhouse look, while the hood is accented in the same oak trim. Sea Pearl natural quartzite countertops are warm and look like layers of sand, while Moroccan zellige tile glitters with a naturally variegated glaze on the backsplash. Ralph Lauren pendant lights steal the show, emulating the glass of a lighthouse. Functionally, refrigeration is hidden behind matching panels, a wine fridge and additional bar sink make this a kitchen suitable for all tasks.

We worked closely with these creative homeowners who had envisioned a scandinavian style rehab of this freshwater lakeside property at the beach. In such a unique setting, our design response was to compliment the new house’s aesthetic with a minimalist, grass forward, textural landscape that will animate the coastal airflow beautifully. Inspiration was taken from the wild clethra and bayberry we found growing undisturbed lakeside, and so you’ll find these in our plant choices that seek to emulate the dunes and forest edge nearby. Phase 2 involved the planting of the steep backyard, previously dominated by lawn. In its place you’ll now find a coastal habitat garden that complements the cottage’s minimalist exterior with lush, billowy, texture, color and structural forms that are drought tolerant, ecologically beneficial and low maintenance.
