By implementing a combination of streamlined fixtures and furniture-like pieces, Weiss and Carpenter have come up with a solution that is chic and sophisticated. While the back side of the island houses the matching cabinetry of the rest of the kitchen, the front is made up of an antique apothecary cabinet that the couple discovered through Weisshouse. The top and sides are clad in Belgian bluestone, giving the overall space contrast and balance. Kitchen: Poliform; Pendant: "Dear Ingo", Moooi

At the back of the garden, an outbuilding is the ideal spot for a studio or supplemental office space. Modern furnishings highlight the architecture and lend a crisp contrast in color.

Photo: Adrienne DeRosa © 2015 Houzz After finding the set of antique doors at auction, Carpenter and Weiss removed several layers of paint, revealing the wood's natural characteristics. They were then joined to form a single panel that when opened offer a view of the master suite's sitting area. The interplay of opposites is an everpresent quality running through this couple's home, and the bedroom door is no exception. Its rough-hewn quality is offset by the surrounding walls and cabinetry, and black hardware. Although the door serves as a backdrop for art when opened, it is practically a piece of art itself.

Weiss put together the gallery wall starting with one piece and worked outward. "It's like putting together a puzzle," she says. One of the most significant changes made to the building is the addition of windows and doors along the back wall. Constructed from steel and double-pained glass, the windows are at once referential and thoroughly modern. Windows: A&S Window Associates, Inc.

Mid-sized trendy master white tile and porcelain tile concrete floor and white floor bathroom photo in Tampa with flat-panel cabinets, dark wood cabinets, white walls, an undermount sink, quartzite countertops and white countertops

Photo: Adrienne DeRosa © 2015 Houzz Building off of the architectural tones of the shower enclosure, custom vanities gain their appeal with bright chrome accents. Set against clean white cabinetry and white cambria quartz tops, the look is at once modern and glamorous. Adding to the luxe factor is the rear wall covered in Arabescato Bronzetto marble. The stone has a dynamic vein pattern that adds texture to the space without overwhelming it, while subtle streaks of bronze give off a warm glow. Weiss found the slabs while on a trip to Connecticut. When it came time to put together this area of the home, it became clear that this was the place for them. Sconces: Watt Series, Waterworks

Photo: Adrienne DeRosa © 2015 Houzz Weiss and Carpenter chose to outfit the guest bath in a way that perfectly exemplifies their design philosophy of old-meets-new. Fashioned from an antique butchers freezer, the vanity maintains all of its original features, including the wooden top and worn paint. "Keeping elements from the past not only interests us aesthetically," explains Will, "it also works with our strong held dedication to environmentally sensitive construction. Our view is that by repurposing antiques and found objects, we can lessen our carbon footprint and minimize our individual effect on the environ- ment." Following the industrial vibe of the vanity, an antique French pendant hangs above. Finished in dark green enamel, it is a subtle statement piece in the room. The overall arrangement of the space comes together with encaustic mission tile. Graphic and lively, the cement tiles grace the room with a sophisticated sense of humor.
