The exterior remodel preserves the home’s original charm while strengthening its connection to site and views. New glazing and expanded openings extend interior living spaces onto a generous terrace overlooking the San Francisco Bay.
Cedar shingles and refined detailing maintain the traditional character of the house, while the clean-lined glass railings and simplified roof forms introduce a modern architectural language. The terrace becomes a primary living space, reinforcing the project’s focus on light, openness, and direct engagement with landscape.

This composition highlights three modern bathroom moments:
• Left: a striking walk-in shower wrapped in large-format black marble-look tiles.
• Center: a freestanding pedestal sink with vertical ribbed tile, matte black fixtures, and a built-in shelving niche.
• Right: a light wood floating vanity paired with a clean quartz top and backlit mirror, set against a textured wall covering.
Together, the layouts showcase a cohesive high-end contemporary design language.

Pool Bathroom – Harmonized Tilework with Thoughtful Contrast
This view of the pool bathroom showcases the perfect balance between texture, material, and layout. We installed multiple types of tile on the walls — from floor to ceiling — creating contrast and visual depth without disrupting flow. The flooring throughout, including the shower, was carefully planned to ensure a seamless connection between the main floor and the cobblestone shower base. Every surface, from the floating vanity wall to the area behind the toilet, reflects a perfect match of tones and finishes — proof that even the most diverse materials can speak the same design language when installed with precision.

Set on Lake Chatuge in Hiawassee, Georgia, this rustic modern farmhouse sits close enough to the shoreline that a private dock runs straight off the back yard, with the Blue Ridge visible across the water. A tin-gray metal roof breaks into multiple gables and dormers over crisp white board-and-batten siding, while wood-tone shutters and a flagstone entry path bring in the rustic warmth. A full-width covered porch — deep enough for a run of rocking chairs — opens directly onto the lake and mountain view.
Inside, the great room carries that same rustic-farmhouse language up to a vaulted, shiplap-clad ceiling crossed with exposed wood beams. A reclaimed sliding barn door anchors one end of the room, while a wall of glass doors keeps the water in view from the sofa.

Some projects just come together beautifully, and this Lymington home was one of them.
The main kitchen pairs two gorgeous finishes: painted timber doors in Little Greene's Delicate Blue, a soft, gentle blue that works so well with the coastal light, alongside warm natural oak. The island is entirely bespoke, while the fridge housing features bespoke oak doors, concealing a Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer behind cabinetry. The rest of the kitchen is fully equipped with Miele appliances.
Just off the kitchen, the boot room and utility space carry the same design language in a slightly softer register. Tucked behind the kitchen, the pantry is dark, dramatic and utterly inviting, with deep indigo blue doors paired with dark walnut-effect shelving, all softly lit with task lighting.

This new lake home takes advantage of the stunning landscape of Lake Superior. The compact floor plans minimize the site impact. The expressive building form blends the structure into the language of the cliff. The home provides a serene perch to view not only the big lake, but also to look back into the North Shore. With triple pane windows and careful details, this house surpasses the airtightness criteria set by the international Passive House Association, to keep life cozy on the North Shore all year round.

Our Denver studio designed the office area for the Designer Showhouse, and it’s all about female empowerment. Our design language expresses a powerful, well-traveled woman who is also the head of a family and creates subtle, calm strength and harmony. The decor used to achieve the idea is a medley of color, patterns, sleek furniture, and a built-in library that is busy, chaotic, and yet calm and organized.

Sag Harbor
Britto Charette is proud to be completing an interior design for our clients’ 10k sqft single-family home located in Sag Harbor. We absolutely love the architecture and layout of the home. From the moment you open the front door, you are greeted with spectacular water views, something we will take full advantage of with our design.
Task:
Our clients have very specific needs for the rooms in their home and asked us to design their interiors to reflect their lifestyle and those needs. Specifically, they asked for comfort and ease of living. We are maximizing the open floor plan to accommodate their requests and to honor the existing language of the residence.

"The idea for Maua was a long time in my head: a round, tight shell with a comfortable, casual form inserted. The back reminds me of petals; Maua means flower in Swahili. The chair is a combination of a tight-round and casually loose shapes. The back is round, so you can take all seating positions. The pillow slides out, too. The shape of the base has a logical continuation of the formal language." Designer Gerard van den Berg

The Owners approached their new project with the thought that it should be a quiet addition, have an appropriate scale, and use the same architectural language as the existing house. What the Owners wanted was a more functional family space for their older children and needed a large kitchen and back entry for this original Myers Park home. The new family room would need to include the antique wood paneling the Owners had acquired. The new kitchen would need to incorporate antique wood beams, a large family table and access to a new pool deck. The back entry would need to have a place for sports bags, coats and charging station. A new landscape plan would be provided which would have a new pool requiring a renovation of an existing guest house.
The new back entry would include built-ins for a charging station and bench as well as closets for coats and sports equipment.

The landscape steps from the house towards the lake via a series of terraces. All walls are kept orthogonal to maintain the formal language of the rear façade. The upper terrace is spacious, versatile, and features ample room for entertainment, while the lower terrace and plunge pool integrates comfortably into the lawn’s gentle slope.

We call these gardens "living landscapes" because the native plants they contain seed off and change locations from year to year in a dynamic, dramatic show. The gardener becomes audience, director, and dramaturge--all in one--rather than one who tightly controls the results.
(What is a dramaturge, one might ask if their friends are not in the theater?) Oxford languages explains: "1. a dramatist.
2. a literary editor on the staff of a theater who consults with authors and edits texts."
In living landscapes, the native plants become a sort of text which the gardener edits in order to shape the unfolding drama for the current and next season. The gardener chooses where to pull back overly assertive plants, when to nudge forward the under-confident actor waiting to shine, when to let the mystery unfold and surprise. It is not laissez-faire or "what will be will be"--rather, it is an ongoing movement rooted in observation and reflection. This is the living landscape we strive to design and build at The Natural Garden.
