Gunmetal door frames and brass hardware balance the medium oak cabinet bar from Ruffino Cabinetry, while a whitewashed brick backsplash can be seen through the glass-front cabinets. Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery provides the undercounter beverage center, and beside it, Potter Homes converts a reclaimed whisky barrel, transforming it into a sink that features a hammered copper basin fitted with an industrial-look copper faucet. For this playful recreation space, Thies selects durable wood-like tile floor from DeMarco Tile.

Honorable Mention 2010 Custom Woodworking Magazine contest The layout of this raised panel walnut bar, and the shape of the burl countertop makes it very welcoming. The traditional grape motif carving runs throughout the piece, from the carved foot brackets to the fascia and pediments above. The pilasters are fluted, with a mediterranean capital. Egg and dart runs along the drawers. There is a sink, a DW and Wine cooler behind the bar. There are also glass doors, glass shelves and lighting. Photo Wing Wong

Home bar - mid-sized coastal home bar idea in Orange County

Project featured in TownVibe Fairfield Magazine, "In this home, a growing family found a way to marry all their New York City sophistication with subtle hints of coastal Connecticut charm. This isn’t a Nantucket-style beach house for it is much too grand. Yet it is in no way too formal for the pitter-patter of little feet and four-legged friends. Despite its grandeur, the house is warm, and inviting—apparent from the very moment you walk in the front door. Designed by Southport’s own award-winning Mark P. Finlay Architects, with interiors by Megan Downing and Sarah Barrett of New York City’s Elemental Interiors, the ultimate dream house comes to life."

mark samu mercedes designed this home with classical materials inside and out to create a timeless masterpiece overlooking the LI sound. the 2 year project has been published in national magazines. It has radient heat on all floors with all the latest high tech systems.

This residence was a complete gut renovation of a 4-story row house in Park Slope, and included a new rear extension and penthouse addition. The owners wished to create a warm, family home using a modern language that would act as a clean canvas to feature rich textiles and items from their world travels. As with most Brooklyn row houses, the existing house suffered from a lack of natural light and connection to exterior spaces, an issue that Principal Brendan Coburn is acutely aware of from his experience re-imagining historic structures in the New York area. The resulting architecture is designed around moments featuring natural light and views to the exterior, of both the private garden and the sky, throughout the house, and a stripped-down language of detailing and finishes allows for the concept of the modern-natural to shine. Upon entering the home, the kitchen and dining space draw you in with views beyond through the large glazed opening at the rear of the house. An extension was built to allow for a large sunken living room that provides a family gathering space connected to the kitchen and dining room, but remains distinctly separate, with a strong visual connection to the rear garden. The open sculptural stair tower was designed to function like that of a traditional row house stair, but with a smaller footprint. By extending it up past the original roof level into the new penthouse, the stair becomes an atmospheric shaft for the spaces surrounding the core. All types of weather – sunshine, rain, lightning, can be sensed throughout the home through this unifying vertical environment. The stair space also strives to foster family communication, making open living spaces visible between floors. At the upper-most level, a free-form bench sits suspended over the stair, just by the new roof deck, which provides at-ease entertaining. Oak was used throughout the home as a unifying material element. As one travels upwards within the house, the oak finishes are bleached to further degrees as a nod to how light enters the home. The owners worked with CWB to add their own personality to the project. The meter of a white oak and blackened steel stair screen was designed by the family to read “I love you” in Morse Code, and tile was selected throughout to reference places that hold special significance to the family. To support the owners’ comfort, the architectural design engages passive house technologies to reduce energy use, while increasing air quality within the home – a strategy which aims to respect the environment while providing a refuge from the harsh elements of urban living. This project was published by Wendy Goodman as her Space of the Week, part of New York Magazine’s Design Hunting on The Cut. Photography by Kevin Kunstadt
