Nestled among the historic character homes of Crescentwood, this residence offers a striking contemporary counterpoint to its traditional surroundings. Built in 2014, the townhouse moves away from the compartmentalized layouts of the past, favoring a sun-drenched, open-concept design defined by clean lines and neutral tones. The interior feels effortlessly modern, featuring sleek white shaker cabinetry, quartz surfaces, and a central open staircase that enhances the sense of vertical space. With a versatile loft-style den and multiple private decks, it functions as a quiet, low-maintenance sanctuary hidden within the mature tree canopy of this established Winnipeg neighbourhood.

Conceived more similar to a loft type space rather than a traditional single family home, the homeowner was seeking to challenge a normal arrangement of rooms in favor of spaces that are dynamic in all 3 dimensions, interact with the yard, and capture the movement of light and air. As an artist that explores the beauty of natural objects and scenes, she tasked us with creating a building that was not precious - one that explores the essence of its raw building materials and is not afraid of expressing them as finished. We designed opportunities for kinetic fixtures, many built by the homeowner, to allow flexibility and movement. The result is a building that compliments the casual artistic lifestyle of the occupant as part home, part work space, part gallery. The spaces are interactive, contemplative, and fun. More details to come. credits: design: Matthew O.

Meyer and Meyer partnered in the design and construction of a modestly sized single-family residence located in a Historic District in a suburb outside of Boston Massachusetts. The initially undeveloped, gently sloping lot is uniquely situated in a residential neighborhood between an enclave of mid-century modern and Victorian-era homes. Within this context, the clients favored a traditional approach. Early formal iterations were traditional two-story colonial in form. However, in deference to the relatively lower roofed adjacent twentieth-century neighbors, a wholly expressed second story was abandoned and replaced with a two-gabled dormer connected by a shed in between. This gave the house a lower profile and began to suggest a more transitional character. In an effort to further this connection to a more eclectically permissible mid and late twentieth century detailing, a dramatic wrapping window was added to the kitchen located in the front corner of the house. In addition, a parallel wrapping window box below integrates the entire window composition into the generally traditional detailing of the house at large. Notwithstanding these features, all of the forms and detailing are solidly drawn from vernacular New England language. Ultimately, the goal was to comfortably transit aesthetically between the significantly disparate period styles of the adjacent neighborhood fabric, all the while maintaining the clients desire to work within a traditional idiom of detail.

The chance to build a lakeside weekend home in rural NC provided this Chapel Hill family with an opportunity to ditch convention and think outside the box. For instance, we traded the traditional boat dock with what's become known as the "party dock"… a floating lounge of sorts, complete with wet bar, TV, swimmer's platform, and plenty of spots for watching the water fun. Inside, we turned one bedroom into a gym with climbing wall - and dropped the idea of a dining room, in favor of a deep upholstered niche and shuffleboard table. Outdoor drapery helped blur the lines between indoor spaces and exterior porches filled with upholstery, swings, and places for lazy napping. And after the sun goes down....smores, anyone?

After completing a full home renovation, the homeowners didn’t have much left in the budget to redo the dated honey oak square profile railing with plain glass panels. Rather than tear out the existing stair system and start from scratch, the owners agreed to keep the existing bones and try for a complete transformation aiming for a more traditional look. Decorative egg and dart moldings were added to bulk up the grip of the railing and add some traditional detailing. The continuous expanse of glass was divided to give the look of custom panels using an X-design that was crowned with a decorative rosette at each juncture. The existing honey stain finish was stripped in favor of deeper, richer chocolate wood tones. As a finishing touch, some gold metallic highlights were added to accentuate the detail of the wood moldings added. The transformation resulted in a sophisticated custom stair look for a fraction of the cost. Photo Agnes Jawoszek
