The wood steps leading from the three season room were re-designed with deeper treads that are more in scale visually with the building. The more generous stepping surface also gives more stability to users who are carrying items to the pool, spa and dining area.

If sun is what you seek, than the Aurora solar building is your answer. Four aluminum roof windows let plenty of sunshine in making for the perfect gardening shed area or reading sanctuary. You even have the option to completely control the environment for your plants.

The washed dhurrie rug, black accent tables and rattan sideboard created the sophistication that was desired. Custom throw pillows give a layer of pattern and color to finish the look.

This was constructed as an addition to an existing brick residence dating from the 1960's. The client requested a traditional character. The design program included a heated breezeway connection to the existing residence, garage parking for two cars, a weaving studio/guest room above, and a greenhouse to support the site's extensive landscaping.

Once upon a time, Mark, Peter and little French Bulldog Milo had a shiny, bright brand new apartment and grand dreams of a beautiful layout. Read the whole story on the Homepolish Mag ➜ http://hmpl.sh/boston_loft Photographer: Joyelle West
