Photovoltaic panels generate all the home’s electricity, sending surplus energy back to the grid. All the home’s systems—hot water, HVAC, and radiant heating—are integrated, electric-based, and powered by the PV panels on the roof. The only use of natural gas is at the cooking range, which draws from a 50-gallon propane tank. With the exception of the propane tank, the home is net-zero in terms of its energy consumption.

This open-plan lower-level living area combines versatility with understated modern design. The wide, unobstructed floor space allows for flexible use—whether as a family entertainment area, guest suite, or multi-purpose gathering zone. The cool-toned wall color contrasts subtly with the warmth of the flooring, creating a balanced and inviting palette. At one end, a streamlined kitchenette offers the essentials without overwhelming the room's openness. This integration makes the space perfect for long-term guests or independent living, without compromising the home's cohesive design language. Ample recessed lighting ensures the room is bright and functional throughout the day, while the placement of windows maximizes available natural light. The result is a space that feels connected to the rest of the home but retains a sense of privacy. With its clean lines, durable finishes, and adaptable layout, this lower level exemplifies how thoughtful design can turn even secondary spaces into beautiful, functional parts of daily life.

While this new home had an architecturally striking exterior, the home’s interior fell short in terms of true functionality and overall style. The most critical element in this renovation was the kitchen and dining area, which needed careful attention to bring it to the level that suited the home and the homeowners. As a graduate of Culinary Institute of America, our client wanted a kitchen that “feels like a restaurant, with the warmth of a home kitchen,” where guests can gather over great food, great wine, and truly feel comfortable in the open concept home. Although it follows a typical chef’s galley layout, the unique design solutions and unusual materials set it apart from the typical kitchen design. Polished countertops, laminated and stainless cabinets fronts, and professional appliances are complemented by the introduction of wood, glass, and blackened metal – materials introduced in the overall design of the house. Unique features include a wall clad in walnut for dangling heavy pots and utensils; a floating, sculptural walnut countertop piece housing an herb garden; an open pantry that serves as a coffee bar and wine station; and a hanging chalkboard that hides a water heater closet and features different coffee offerings available to guests. The dining area addition, enclosed by windows, continues to vivify the organic elements and brings in ample natural light, enhancing the darker finishes and creating additional warmth.
