The renovations at Horseshoe Hill transformed a disjointed property into an alluring farmhouse with strong connections to the landscape and a fresh aesthetic to complement the owner’s South African furnishings. A new main gable establishes a strong central focus for the massing, and an entry wing addition welcomes visitors with a charming porch and inviting foyer. New south-facing covered porches create comfortable outdoor living areas, connect major rooms to the outdoors, and provide shade and filtered light for interior spaces. The home’s updated floor plan distills an existing warren of disconnected, small chambers into spacious, open rooms that infuse the house with a modern flow and engage the new pool.

The clients desired a modern, open-concept space to enjoy with their young family. The old kitchen was cramped and very dark. Since I love an infusion of natural light, in addition to removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room, it was a no-brainer to install a couple of Solatube tubular skylights, which magnify light more than conventional skylights. But we didn't want to discard some of the home's unique charms. The gorgeous art-deco glass tile backsplash was salvaged, and the curves where walls meet ceilings were delicately preserved. One of the clients, a gifted carpenter, milled the old-growth studs from the demolished wall and applied them as treatment to the back side of the island. The use of soapstone on the sink wall adds a touch of charm. Photography by Adam Gibson

Located in Mar Vista, California, this home is characterized by a focus on clear and functional design. A play between light and dark colors are infused in the home and mirrored in the cabinetry design to create an uninterrupted flow in the home. Large windows highlight the contrasting materials and textures, creating unity and excitement.

The modern industrial farmhouse style together in this remodel creates a pleasing and welcoming balance. This project was infused with materials, textures, and color to create a modern industrial feel. The homeowners wanted an open floor plan. One of the most eye-catching elements is the custom-made rustic wood ceiling beams and the white shiplap, which elevates the entirety of opening this new space. The homeowners added industrial elements to the space with mixed metals from the lighting, faucet, pot filler, and stainless-steel appliances to farmhouse elements with an apron front sink and rustic barstools. Another aspect of this gorgeous kitchen is the quartz backsplash behind the range with a modern plaster range hood to ceiling accented by a bold encaustic tile on the other backsplash wall. One of the defined focal points for the whole room is the large light fixtures in the kitchen and living area. This main level remodel project has authentic beauty from floor to ceiling.

Our clients in Milton, Massachusetts, had a vision of transforming their outdated bathroom into a spa-like oasis. They sought a serene and contemporary design that would infuse natural elements, modern finishes, and a sense of tranquility into their daily routine. Our team was entrusted with the task of turning their dream bathroom into a reality. This renovation took approximately 6 months to complete. We also gave their master bedroom a furniture refresh. The updated finishes include brass fixtures, terrazzo floor tile, reeded shower glass, green square wall tiles, rattan mirrors, brass lighting, and a white oak vanity with white marble countertops.

This 1950s modern needed a new kitchen along with an infusion of light into its dark dining room and kitchen. The owners also asked for a more welcoming entry and stair hall. The addition of a light monitor on the flat roof allowed light from all directions to come in from above and flood the kitchen/dining area with light. The spaces were opened up to one another while large opening into the living room and hallway allow for a nice flow. Contemporary gray cabinets continue the minimalist look while splashes of color enliven the space. The exterior received a fresh coat of paint but its details remain true to the original. The entry looks as if it has always been there.

Clopay Avante Collection glass garage doors play a key role in the magical, translucent calm that prevails the newly completed Sagaponack, Long Island Modern Green Barn. Inspired by the vernacular potato barns of Long Island’s East End, this unique, energy efficient home is one of the most innovative new designs in the Hamptons. It will receive six third party ratings, including LEED for Homes and National Green Building Standard. Large open spaces create dramatic views, and light and structure is infused into every space. As the sun sets, the Kalwall gable ends and ridge skylights shed soft light to the outside and the pilaster lanterns and etched glass Clopay Garage Doors begin to glow. Every room connects to the outdoors, and the transition between many of the rooms and outdoor spaces is seamless. The abundance of woods on the interior and exterior, and the finishes and warm colors, make it warm and inviting. Project by Stott Architecture for Newmark Developers.
