This soft gray bathroom is a beautiful escape from everyday life. With the floating vanity mirrors, the walk in shower, and a free standing bath tub, the options are endless on how to pamper yourself.

The original bathroom in this beautiful lakefront property was oddly laid out with two separate, adjoining bathrooms—the smaller room included a second sink and a second toilet. Needless to say this room configuration did not work for our client. By opening up the space into one large bathroom, we were able to create a more modern aesthetic that included a large deck-mounted whirlpool tub, vanity space with room for two, ample storage and a luxury steam shower with a comfortable seat to relax. The room ended up being a true getaway for the homeowners to escape their busy lives, creating a tranquil, spa-like experience. Kate Benjamin Photography

This exquisite home in the Township of Washington is an escape to pure luxury. “The Royal” pool was installed by The Pool Boss with additional optimizations including: Internal radius steps, deck jets, and an internal full-width bench. A custom sun deck provides the elegant stage for sunbathing atop the cool water, summer beverage in hand. The rectangular-shaped pool is framed by classic gray paving stones with plenty of space for additional lounging. The patio also includes an outdoor dining area and a handsome gray cobblestone kitchen. Adjacent to the pool is a substrate of river rock housing an engaging family area, complete with a high-top table, pool table, and even a putting green! Overlooking this magical outdoor living room is a stunning natural wood-framed cabana with gently flowing curtains and additional seating. While this home is more than a stone’s throw away from the ocean, we do believe we feel the bay breeze.

Example of a mid-sized beach style open concept porcelain tile and beige floor game room design in New York with blue walls, no fireplace and a wall-mounted tv

For a family that loves hosting large gatherings, this expansive home is a dream; boasting two unique entertaining spaces, each expanding onto outdoor-living areas, that capture its magnificent views. The sheer size of the home allows for various ‘experiences’; from a rec room perfect for hosting game day and an eat-in wine room escape on the lower-level, to a calming 2-story family greatroom on the main. Floors are connected by freestanding stairs, framing a custom cascading-pendant light, backed by a stone accent wall, and facing a 3-story waterfall. A custom metal art installation, templated from a cherished tree on the property, both brings nature inside and showcases the immense vertical volume of the house. Photography: Paul Grdina

Kitchen cabinets were painted in a linen chalk paint to soften the look, less brown the better. A new light fixture in oil-rubbed bronze was chosen with a white drum. The alcove was painted in light gray and ceiling in light sky blue

Our clients approached us to transform their urban backyard into an outdoor living space that would provide them with plenty of options for outdoor dining, entertaining, and soaking up the sun while complementing the modern architectural style of their Virginia Highlands home. Challenged with a small “in-town” lot and strict city zoning requirements, we maximized the space by creating a custom, sleek, geometric swimming pool and flush spa with decorative concrete coping, a large tanning ledge with loungers and a seating bench that runs the entire width of the pool. The raised beam features a dramatic wall of sheer descent waterfalls and adds a spectacular design element to this contemporary pool and backyard retreat. An outdoor kitchen, complete with streamlined aluminum outdoor cabinets, gray concrete countertops, custom vent hood, built in grill, sink, storage and Big Green Egg sits at one end of the covered patio and a lounge area with an outdoor fireplace, TV, and casual seating sits at the other end. A custom built in bar and beverage station with matching raw concrete countertops provides additional entertainment space and storage when hosting larger parties and get togethers. The bluestone patio and cedar tongue and groove ceiling add a luxurious feel to the space. Overlooking the pool is a stylish and comfortable outdoor dining area that is the perfect gathering spot for al fresco dining and a welcome respite from city living. The minimalist landscape design and natural looking artificial grass is modern and low maintenance and blends in beautifully with this artfully designed outdoor sanctuary.
