Home design - 1960s home design idea in Boston

his yard was transformed from a bland bilder basic to a fun and lush xeriscaped entry way. To make the yard feel bigger, we removed the driveway and used gravel from end to end, creating an open, borderless planting and patio space across the entire front yard. For extra security and privacy, a fence was added along the front, which features an automatic gate for easy use as they come and go. With the limestone facade being one of the customers least favorite features of the house, we planted fig ivy vines to grow and cover it.

DCS Industries installed two sets of 30-foot security fencing to enclose the perimeter of the property and prevent unauthorized entry. Composed of powerful, black wrought iron, the fencing has an intimidating appearance that is sure to deter intruders. However, if anyone did try to make a forbidden entry onto the property, they would find the security fencing virtually impossible to breach. The gaps between the fence’s pickets are narrow, prohibiting intruders from slipping between them, and the wrought iron is strong and unyielding. Wrought iron is always an excellent choice for security fencing because it is naturally durable and difficult to climb. The fencing also includes pickets that are curved at the top, contributing to the formidable appearance and adding an extra layer of protection against anyone who might try to scale the fence.

The porch to our home feels like a cozy little nest. My husband and I have had many moments of drinking beer or wine here while dreaming up how we will fix something or overcome a challenge we ran into while restoring our home. The sculptural cacti in brass pots are complimentary in color to the house, and provide extra security near our window. The pressed stone concrete was original to the house and we love it!

One of our favorite details! A drawer-within-a-drawer. Especially handy when you've got little kids, this helps keep knives and other sharp kitchen utensils away (or at least harder to access). And it's also just really cool. Kitchen and dining room staging by Allison Scheff of Distinctive Kitchens. Photos by Wynne H Earle

Custom grab bar for extra security and added support for glass wall. Lower niche for bench or wheelchair accessibility. Teak shower bench folds up if not being used.

The front entryway of this beautiful 1960's split-level home was changed to a period appropriate door with narrow windows that provide full visibility and security. The lock is a keyless entry. A bright LED light was installed above the door for extra security, along with a motion sensor light under the carport. The concrete entrance is a seamless sunken ramp that is 4" thick right to the end, yet allows a smooth transition from the carport. The landing area at the door provides a level space and zero threshold passage.

This concrete ramp is completely leveled to prevent possible falls, and easy access for wheelchairs. Handrails were added for extra security.

Boho meets Portuguese design in a stunning transformation of this Van Ness tudor in the upper northwest neighborhood of Washington, DC. Our team’s primary objectives were to fill space with natural light, period architectural details, and cohesive selections throughout the main level and primary suite. At the entry, new archways are created to maximize light and flow throughout the main level while ensuring the space feels intimate. A new kitchen layout along with a peninsula grounds the chef’s kitchen while securing its part in the everyday living space. Well-appointed dining and living rooms infuse dimension and texture into the home, and a pop of personality in the powder room round out the main level. Strong raw wood elements, rich tones, hand-formed elements, and contemporary nods make an appearance throughout the newly renovated main level and primary suite of the home.
