This 3 BR, 3 1/2 bath home allows the owners to live on one level most of the time. The Master Suite is on the main level along with the Living Room, Kitchen, Dining, pantries, Sun Room and service areas. The upper level houses two ample bedrooms while the lower level supports a rec center, media room, wine cellar, shop and full wet bar. Conceived as a Great Room house, the main level is designed as one seamless space that flows onto an ample deck overlooking the rear yard. We also incorporated a variety of green building techniques - photo-voltaic shingles on the roof of the garage to generate a portion of the home's energy, a super insulated building envelope, rain water harvesting, high performance windows and doors, a high efficiency heat pump, low flow bath & kitchen fixtures, Energy Star appliances and LED lighting - that greatly reduced this structure's carbon footprint. All of the strategies amounted to a 30% reduction in the energy consumption in this home relative to comparable structures.

Free Float is a pool house that continues UP's obsession with contextual contradiction. Located on a three acre estate in Sands Point NY, the modern pool house is juxtaposed against the existing traditional home. Using structural gymnastics, a column-free, simple shading area was created to protect occupants from the summer sun while still allowing the structure to feel light and open, maintaining views of the Long Island Sound and surrounding beaches.

We went for lots of texture and foliage color in this small space. Ferns hold the composition together while the Persian Ivy, Rhododendron, Hosta and Heuchera provide color and leaf variation. This planting is partially under a deck.

We designed and installed this 15 years ago, before digital camera's....so I'm looking for a picture of it running! :)

Rich with history, Jewett Farms + Co’s Reclaimed Antique Tobacco Pine flooring is a unique and historical flooring choice. Back in the days when tobacco farming ruled the fields, tobacco farmers in the Susquehanna River and Allegheny Mountains constructed barns made of pine boards to dry tobacco leaves. These late 1800 structures now provide us with beautiful antique tobacco Pine planks that are perfect for flooring applications. During the tobacco drying process the Pine barn boards became stained, creating deep shades of brown and red that mix beautifully with pine’s natural honey color. Reclaimed tobacco Pine hardwood flooring has a rich mix of color and features like sound knots, cracks, nail holes, wormholes, saw kerfs and watermarks. Jewett Farms + Co’s Reclaimed Antique Tobacco Pine wide plank flooring is available to be shipped throughout the United States from our New England headquarters. Our reclaimed tobacco planks do not feature any tobacco odor.

This compact, urban backyard was in desperate need of privacy. We created a series of outdoor rooms, privacy screens, and lush plantings all with an Asian-inspired design sense. Elements include a covered outdoor lounge room, sun decks, rock gardens, shade garden, evergreen plant screens, and raised boardwalk to connect the various outdoor spaces. The finished space feels like a true backyard oasis.
