A Virtuous Garden, Far Beyond Form and Emptiness by Martin Mosko and Luke Sanzone of Marpa Design Studio, with David Barrett, Barrett Studio Architects
The owner of this fascinating new home and garden worked closely with the landscape architect and architect to create a house, barn, and riding arena that were at once modern, comfortable, warm, and carefully attuned to the natural surroundings. The house was designed with the Japanese principle of “wabi sabi,” the appreciation of beauty in imperfection and the natural cycle of growth and decay. The wood used in the siding was reclaimed from old buildings and combined with native stone. This principle extends into the landscape with the use of old, well-tended trees carefully chosen and trimmed so that the scale of the garden is maintained with the distant views. The clean, simple lines of the patios and the pool, the use of glass and steel, the radial drifts of ground covers, and the small lawn are all part of this aesthetic. All planting is xeric and foliage color was considered as important as the color of the blooms in creating an integrated palette. CoreTen steel edging shapes the landscape close to the pool and patio, while the outer circle of the garden is shaped by land forms. The house and the landscape use similar materials, forms, and colors, making an integrated whole. The result is simple, elegant, and uplifting. Photo courtesy of Marpa Design Studio

This modern outdoor living space mere blocks from the beach is replete with all of the best staycation features. There is a cozy, yet refined screened patio space with a glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) wrapped spa that is situated opposite a Wolf-equipped outdoor dining and seating area. A custom GFRC fireplace with GFRC mantel connects the areas, while providing a touch of privacy. Through the retractable screens, a pair of Restoration Hardware chaise lounge chairs call for a sunning session. To beat the heat our clients can retreat to the pool and recline on the end-to-end sun shelf. Artificial turf and a stretch of Mexican beach pebble frame the pool and generous porcelain coping. Aloe, hibiscus, bamboo muhly, cabbage palms and other tropical landscaping enhance the modern beach aesthetic.

Challenge:
This prestigious Bridle Path kitchen suffered from poor lighting and functionality issues that prevented it from reaching its full potential. Our clients desired a luxury kitchen that would serve as both a functional workspace and an elegant entertaining hub, requiring us to address the lighting deficiencies while creating a sophisticated aesthetic worthy of this upscale neighborhood.
Solution:
We transformed this space into a luxury kitchen that balances exceptional functionality with breathtaking beauty. The design centers around the stunning Taj Mahal quartzite, whose naturally elegant patterns became the foundation for all other design decisions. By addressing the lighting challenges and incorporating warm finishes throughout, we created a space that feels both inviting and sophisticated.
Highlights:
• Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and backsplash - the jewel of the space with naturally beautiful and elegant patterns
• Custom millwork cabinetry designed for both beauty and optimal functionality
• High-end appliances seamlessly integrated into the sophisticated design
• Warm finishes throughout that complement the quartzite's natural beauty
• Expert craftsmanship by skilled local fabricators ensuring flawless installation
Results:
The transformed kitchen now serves as a stunning centerpiece of this Bridle Path home, where the Taj Mahal quartzite's natural elegance takes center stage. This project demonstrates our ability to solve functional challenges while creating luxury spaces that celebrate exceptional materials, proving that sometimes the most beautiful design solutions let natural beauty shine without unnecessary embellishment.

This home is remarkable in many ways. It features a simple but unique design that maximizes the site and breathtaking views. The home was originally built by a family who owned a local mill and who had choice selection of the wood used in its construction. We were brought in to restore the integrity of the 40-year-old deck, ensuring the new one preserved the precise aesthetic of the original.
The upper level features a cantilevered deck that wraps around the house without obscuring the view from the windows below. The structure of the deck was constructed of abnormally large rough-sawn fir joists milled to custom specifications. The joists run through the entire floor framing of the home and extend out as deck joists. Since the deck joists were so integral to the framing, preservation of the integrity of this structure was paramount.
The original cedar deck boards were failing, but the beautiful fir joists were well-preserved and could be fortified. After demoing the existing deck, we carefully removed all signs of dry rot, then tested the integrity of the fir joists. To ensure the longevity of the new deck, we added joists as needed to improve rigidity and weather-sealed the tops of each one with joist tape and metal flashing.
For the new decking, we decided on a very strong and durable solution, IPE wood, which we had milled to custom specifications to match the original boards. Working with this extremely hard wood has its challenges, but it was by far the best choice for this project.
We honored the design of the original railing by crafting a near replica. Admittedly, we tweaked a few dimensions, enhanced details of the assembly and added a few custom accents.

Robin Stancliff photo credits. My goal for this project was to create a modern, minimalist kitchen that isn’t cold or
industrial. The original kitchen was very dark and enclosed, so the first step to
enhancing this kitchen was to open it up and create a sense of light and space in the
room. By raising the soffit, removing the built-in cabinets, and changing the position of
the ovens, microwave, and refrigerator, I was able to create a better layout that
maximizes every inch of the kitchen as useful space. I removed the divider wall, tripling
the size of the opening from the dining room to the kitchen, and I added natural clear
Alder cabinets. My client envisioned a kitchen with two-toned cabinets, so I paired the
locally crafted Alder with grey upper cabinets and grey Shaker style cabinets on the
island to make it stand out more. I also added wood-look LVT for a stylish yet highly
durable kitchen floor. The countertops are Della Terra quartz with a matte finish for a
more natural feeling texture that cuts down on glare, and I paired the counters with a
grey porcelain subway tile backsplash for easy-cleaning. A unique feature of this kitchen
is that the outlets are barely visible, as I hid them underneath the cabinets. I added
under-cabinet lighting, and converted the kitchen lights to LED, aside from the Edison
lightbulbs in the hanging pendants. The biggest challenge for this project was devising a
way to heat and cool the kitchen while working with minimal structural elements.
However, by moving the HVAC above the refrigerator the kitchen now has more cooling
than it did previously, while having a more modern aesthetic. With natural lighting and
abundant storage options, this kitchen is now bright, clean, and de-cluttered.
