Custom Staircase with unique railing -Energy Star certified -Built Green Platinum -EnerGuide 78GJ/year -Green roof -Tramway from the top of the lot to the waterfront -48″ Drain water heat recovery -95% AFUE Gas Boiler -Venmar X24 HRV 75% Efficiency -Low flow plumbing fixtures -Integrated home automation system -Average 80% recycled construction waste This project has three components, which is all built differently. The main house is a waterfront property at the bottom of a steep cliff. All machine and materials are delivered by barge. Concrete is pumped from the top of the cliff down to the bottom with a 400ft line into a boom pump which was delivered by barge. Due to the challenging access to the site, most of the structural backfill is actually Styrofoam (EPS) backfill. The garage is built from the top of the cliff, with a 27ft tall foundation wall. We needed to excavate to solid bedrock in order to adequately anchor the foundation into the hillside. This tall foundation wall are 10″ thick with a double grid of rebar to retain approximately 350 cu yards of fill. Styrofoam backfill was also used. A funicular (tramway) is also being built on this project, which required it’s own building permit. Image by Ema Peter Photography

This custom deck build and outdoor living space transformation in Bolton, Massachusetts showcases the full process of turning an outdated backyard into a functional, modern, and inviting extension of the home. The project began with the removal of an aging, weathered deck that no longer met the homeowner’s needs in terms of safety, appearance, and usability. Our team carefully demolished the existing structure, cleared the area, and prepared the site for a completely new build designed with durability and long-term performance in mind. Using high-quality pressure-treated lumber, we constructed a solid and well-engineered framing system, ensuring proper support, alignment, and structural integrity. Every detail during the framing stage was executed with precision, from the spacing of joists to the installation of secure footings, creating a foundation built to withstand New England weather conditions. As the project progressed, the new deck began to take shape, highlighting clean lines, balanced proportions, and a layout optimized for both relaxation and entertainment. Once the structural work was completed, we moved into the finishing phase, installing durable decking boards and modern railing systems that enhance both safety and visual appeal. The nearly completed stage reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defines our work, with smooth finishes, properly aligned components, and a clean, polished look. The final result is a fully transformed outdoor living space designed for everyday enjoyment and social gatherings. The deck was staged with comfortable seating, a dining area, and functional outdoor elements to showcase its full potential. This upgraded space now serves as a seamless extension of the home, providing a perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining guests, and enjoying the outdoors. Projects like this highlight our ability to handle complete exterior renovations, from demolition to final finishing, while delivering results that combine durability, functionality, and modern design. Whether you are looking to replace an old deck or create a brand-new outdoor living area, this Bolton, MA project demonstrates the value of professional craftsmanship and thoughtful design in transforming any backyard.

The front of the house features seamlessly integrated elements of universal design. A key UD component of any home is at least one step-free route into the house. Our Design Challenge home has step-free routes to three entry doors as well as a route from the driveway, to the backyard and back patio! Someone can walk or roll from the driveway to the front and side decks. Gardeners can reach the raised planters easily. The front entrance is level with the first floor and is protected from the elements by the porch roof. So, the family is protected from sun, rain, or snow when entering or exiting.

Located in the Sky Lofts building in Tribeca (once home to the most expensive apartment sale in NYC), our clients were ready to renovate and modernize their centerpiece kitchen. Due to the unique nature of loft renovations (high ceilings, columns, creative and skillful lighting applications, among other factors), Gallery’s expertise in loft spaces was vital to our clients. In addition to the loft particularities, it’s important in a kitchen of this size to ensure that all the elements have been laid out with purpose from a functional perspective and a design perspective. CENTERPIECE KITCHEN Color was an important design element in this kitchen. This is evident in the striking blues and grays of the marble countertops and backsplash, as well as the dark navy hue of the built-in cabinets. White lower cabinets create two-tone contrast, while glass cabinets and a long wood open shelf make the most of the available height. The built-in cabinets also include built-in appliances: an espresso maker, coffee machine, two side-by-side wine fridges, and even an integrated refrigerator paneled to match the cabinetry for an essentially seamless look. The cabinets are all push-to-open, eliminating knobs to complete the overall sleek, contemporary style. The marble backsplash is also book-matched, meaning the slabs of stone have been cut and polished to match each other, creating a mirroring effect that further contributes to the cohesive, contemporary aesthetic of this apartment. BUILDING CONSIDERATIONS Functional factors are another vital component to New York City apartment building renovations. In this particular project, we had to consider how to get large slabs of stone into the loft without having to cut them up. When working with slabs, and especially when the design is as sleek and contemporary as this one, it’s vital to eliminate seams as much as possible. Elevators and stairs are often not large enough to handle large slabs of stone, which means there are only two other options: cutting the stone and putting it back together on site (but this will create a seam, so it’s not always an option) or using a crane to bring it in through a window. Higher-end buildings tend to have more restrictions and management companies with stricter renovation guidelines – with good reason. A good relationship with the super and staff of the building is absolutely essential; effective communication with everyone involved will result in an ideal outcome for all parties. ARTFUL LOGISTICS Seemingly minor elements such as apartment protections are also just as crucial. While every renovation will require protections in hallways, common spaces, zip walls, and perhaps the floors, those protections are doubled when renovating in an apartment that’s currently occupied. In the case of this particular client, who owned a great deal of valuable artwork in addition to their furniture and other belongings, Gallery exacted their own form of art when putting the protections in place and maneuvering around them with skill. SOME HIGHLIGHTS - Unique marble slabs (Azul Macauba quartzite and Calacatta Diamond quartzite) for the countertops and backsplash - Book-matched backsplash - Gaggenau appliances - Glass cabinets with built-in lighting - Custom millwork for the cabinets

We transformed this Wynnewood home with a comprehensive renovation focusing on the kitchen, powder room, and mudroom. The kitchen saw a modern upgrade with White Shaker cabinets, new countertops, and a tile backsplash. Essential fixtures like sinks, cabinet hardware, and faucets were installed, alongside LED cabinet lighting. We enhanced the space with new island lights and updated electrical components. In the powder room, we relocated it to the garage and installed framing, drywall, and new fixtures. The mudroom received new framing, stairs, an exterior sliding door, and custom storage solutions. The project concluded with a seamless integration of new flooring throughout the home.

Modern industrial are two words that describe this dining table and matching bench. The tabletop and bench top were built with reclaimed Elm and was treated with a custom stain. As beautiful as natural Elm is, if you’re looking to add some pop in Elm staining it really brings out the grain! Our customer requested to have an industrial leg design that was unique, bold, and made a statement. Our lead designer (Kellen) came up with the “Rearden“. A steel I-beam stretcher cuts straight through the cast industrial legs design. “Pays homage to a history of cast industrial components with a refined profile.”. The legs also have integrated steel leveler feet. Details: 8′ x 42″ x 1 1/2″ reclaimed Elm table (straight edge) with custom stain, finished with OSMO Hardwax Polyx Oil.

The site is located on the Mitchell House preparatory school campus in Polokwane. The client's brief called for an early childhood development centre which would accommodate 122 learners and requested that the building be evident of it's young and playful users. Curiosity, wonder and intrigue would become defining criteria in an attempt to create a conducive learning environment for young learners to grow, a building where children would be encouraged to interact with their environment. The construction methodology of the building would remain apparent, allowing its users to analyse the assembly of components. Due to the age group of the users, the building would need to function semi-autonomously from the rest of the school, while allowing for controlled interaction and inclusivity as is the norm for Mitchell House. A linear plan which coincides with the developmental progress of the learners was identified as the appropriate building typology. The spatial constraints of the site required this plan to be moulded into the available space between the existing infrastructure, however the linear process was maintained. From the access-controlled reception and administration area one would move past the creative arts and exhibition space towards the Northern wing where the youngest learners are taught. These would share connected ablutions and storerooms between classes to enable fluid movement and assistance throughout the teaching and service spaces. The East wing of the centre would house the elder learners who would be in the process of being integrated with the fabric of the main school campus. These classrooms include storage areas, however, have separate ablution facilities. The two wings of the building surround a courtyard where play and interaction are in abundance.

AM4244 LUSTROUS AURA FEATURED: The jewel in the crown—quite literally—of Tord Boontje’s Luminous Reflections chandelier collection., Lustrous Aura was inspired by a spectacular piece created for Mrs Hari. This huge (nearly 1.60 meters) domed chandelier echoes the bejeweled headdress created as a costume piece for a Mata Hari performance. Said to have used her feminine wiles to aid her work as a WWI spy, the fabled exotic dancer and courtesan was the embodiment of dazzling glamour. A selection of Boontje’s new crystal components is suspended in its filigree frame (available in polished gold or matt silver LDF) to give the appearance of an outsize piece of jewelry. Like its inspiration, Lustrous Aura is breathtaking in both its daring and its beauty. The charismatic presence and dramatic proportions of this signature piece make it ideally suited to larger spaces. And the neutral white light (4000K) is dimmable, all while throwing out myriad dancing shards around a room. Another standout feature is its innovative LED solution, where the technology integrates the electrical conductors into the structural suspension system, providing power without the need for a dedicated, visible electrical cable.
