These long time clients have a beautiful home and property, but wanted to make their Living Room more functional for their large extended family. When they originally moved into their home, they furnished the space with lovely things from their previous home, but rarely used it. They recently decided to purchase a reclining sectional and add a television. We helped them finish off the space with accent tables, artwork and window treatments.
This oversized club chair helps balance the sectional. The wood tray helps make the fun tufted ottoman more functional
We added petite faux roman shades to the doors that lead out to the patio. We did not want to block the view of the pool and beyond!
The sectional had a curved corner so we added this gorgeous black table with greek key motif to cover a poorly placed floor outlet and add additional lighting. This Living Room is now lovely and functional! Enjoy!

This kitchen simply wasn’t meeting the needs of a growing young family. The space felt cramped, lacked functionality, and had an outdated look that no longer fit their lifestyle. The transformation is nothing short of stunning!
To create a brighter, more functional kitchen, we installed new Kitchen Solvers Classic Collection cabinets in a beautiful Ginger finish with the timeless Scandia door style. The cabinetry is perfectly complemented by elegant Calacatta Fioressa quartz countertops and a stylish Juniper porcelain backsplash, bringing warmth, character, and lasting beauty to the space.
The result is a kitchen that offers more storage, improved functionality, and a fresh new look the family can enjoy for years to come.

This thoughtfully designed boys bedroom combines timeless furniture with fresh, modern color choices to create a space that feels both fun and functional. Twin metal beds bring a touch of retro-inspired character while their low-profile design helps the room feel open and spacious. Warm terra cotta bedding, layered patterns, and natural wood furnishings introduce color and personality without overwhelming the space. Practical storage solutions, including coordinating bedroom pieces and under-bed storage potential, make the room as functional as it is stylish. The result is a welcoming retreat designed to adapt and grow with its occupants while maintaining a clean, contemporary look.

This timeless and functional kitchen is full of custom cabinets, large appliance panels, and even a stylish and functional ladder. Outfitted with a scullery, a drink station, and a mudroom, this transformation put a spin on the classics in their bright, modern kitchen flip. With time-traveling pieces like a functional sliding ladder for out-of-reach storage and a drink station reminiscent of an old-fashioned hotel bar, it takes accent pieces like geometric pendant lighting to return us to the modern day.

T shaped swimming pool designed by Giuseppe Abbrancati and built by Gappsi in Smithtown NY, 11787. This swimming pool is a very special pool, not only it’s beautiful, but it is also very functional and energy efficient. The layout of the backyard incorporates raised and pool area travertine patios, hot tub spa, travertine veneered walls with 2 inches travertine copings and plenty of space for tables and chairs. The T shaped swimming pool is very functional it has a very large diving deep end area making it very safe for professional diving, it has steps in deep end for easy access and exit, it has steps along the shallow area to access the pool but also serve as sitting benches for bathers that just want to sit in water, the shallow are its perfect valley ball play area like no other pool shape would offer and all these provided with less the 800 sq ft of surface making it cost effective when running the heather and the pumps to circulate the water.
This swimming pool defies the law of physics by being smaller then a 20x40 while providing a larger deep end area and a larger shallow area. For more information’s about pool constructions please visit Gappsi.com or call us at 631-543-1177.

Homesteads are about function as much as beauty, and button bush delivers on both fronts. Its willingness to grow in wet areas makes it perfect for landscape spots that other plants avoid. Those damp corners aren’t wasted space when you plant button bush — they become intentional, lively parts of your yard.
The shrub’s dense form also doubles as a natural screen or border. Planted in groups, button bush makes a soft edge against lawns, gardens, or pathways. Its rounded shape and textured blooms maintain structure without feeling overly formal. That’s especially nice in landscapes that lean toward natural design.
But function doesn’t end there. In wetter areas, button bush helps reduce erosion and standing water. Its roots absorb moisture and give soil something to cling to, which makes it a practical choice in drainage swales or near water features. Pollinators and wildlife find value here too — that’s an added bonus that makes landscapes feel balanced and alive.
If your homestead includes gardens, fields, or natural plantings, button bush fits right in. It holds space well, supports life, and brings seasonal interest without demanding constant care — qualities that make it a smart, functional choice.

In this project, our client had specific goals and desires for her bathroom renovation to accommodate her changing needs. She requested a roll-in shower with an ADA accessible vanity along with custom storage that fit her farmhouse aesthetics. This presented a unique opportunity to build a custom storage piece that fit her exact use of the space. We completed this project in two phases so that our homeowners would not be without a functioning bathroom for more than a few days at a time. The shower build and tile work was done in Phase I and the vanity and storage unit was completed in Phase II.
We designed the vanity with a lowered countertop height on one end for easier access to the sink and a roll under countertop hidden behind cabinet doors. The barn door is situated to slide to cover either the closet for privacy or the shower opening to prevent steam from escaping. The two-toned cabinets were selected to create interest and depth since the unit is so large, and the white vessel sinks contrast beautifully with the dark granite countertop and linear stone backsplash. The finished product was a truly customized bathroom that maximized space, function, mobility, and design.

Avec Interiors, together with our valued client and builder partner 5blox, rejuvenates a dated and narrow and poorly functioning 90s bathroom. The project culminates in a tranquil sanctuary that epitomizes quiet luxury. The redesign features a custom oak vanity with an integrated hamper and extensive storage, polished nickel finishes, and artfully placed decorative wall niches. Functional elements harmoniously blend with aesthetic details, such as the captivating blue-green shower tile and the charming mini stars and cross tiles adorning both the floor and niches.

Atherton has many large substantial homes - our clients purchased an existing home on a one acre flag-shaped lot and asked us to design a new dream home for them. The result is a new 7,000 square foot four-building complex consisting of the main house, six-car garage with two car lifts, pool house with a full one bedroom residence inside, and a separate home office /work out gym studio building. A fifty-foot swimming pool was also created with fully landscaped yards.
Given the rectangular shape of the lot, it was decided to angle the house to incoming visitors slightly so as to more dramatically present itself. The house became a classic u-shaped home but Feng Shui design principals were employed directing the placement of the pool house to better contain the energy flow on the site. The main house entry door is then aligned with a special Japanese red maple at the end of a long visual axis at the rear of the site. These angles and alignments set up everything else about the house design and layout, and views from various rooms allow you to see into virtually every space tracking movements of others in the home.
The residence is simply divided into two wings of public use, kitchen and family room, and the other wing of bedrooms, connected by the living and dining great room. Function drove the exterior form of windows and solid walls with a line of clerestory windows which bring light into the middle of the large home. Extensive sun shadow studies with 3D tree modeling led to the unorthodox placement of the pool to the north of the home, but tree shadow tracking showed this to be the sunniest area during the entire year.
Sustainable measures included a full 7.1kW solar photovoltaic array technically making the house off the grid, and arranged so that no panels are visible from the property. A large 16,000 gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of tanks buried below grade was installed. The home is California GreenPoint rated and also features sealed roof soffits and a sealed crawlspace without the usual venting. A whole house computer automation system with server room was installed as well. Heating and cooling utilize hot water radiant heated concrete and wood floors supplemented by heat pump generated heating and cooling.
