Leisure Time Zoysia (LTZ) is known for its soft texture, fine blades, and superior shade tolerance for a warm season grass. LTZ can do well in a minimum of four hours of direct sunlight each day.

Located in an existing neighborhood of post-war houses, Skidmore Passivhaus merges contemporary design with the highest level of energy efficiency. Gernerous insulation, extremely airtight construction (tested at .32ach50), high performing triple glazed Zola European Windows, and a super-efficient heat recovery ventilator allow the structure to meet the stringent requirements of the German Passivhaus standard. Generous amounts of south facing glazing (0.5 shgc) maximize the solar gains for most of the year, while motorized exterior aluminum shades can be lowered to block unwanted summer heat gain resulting in extremely comfortable temperatures year round. An extensive green roof helps manage all stormwater on site, while a roof mounted 4.32 kW PV array provides enough electricity to result in a near net zero and truly sustainable building.

Sweeney’s deep team of expert designers, project managers, and skilled carpenters worked closely with this fun-loving couple to design and build their vision of a beautiful conservatory-style sunroom. Stunning features were incorporated into the design, including Velux skylights, floor-to-ceiling Marvin windows (with transoms), exposed rafters, custom trim, and 3/4" random width pine siding. Rounding out this timeless glass space style addition was a decorative coat of light-colored Benjamin Moore paint and heated tile flooring.

The new Owners of this property on the Oxtongue River in the Township of Algonquin Highlands contacted us with the intention to renovate the existing house they had bought.
The design priorities for this project centred around providing a comfortable interior with sufficient space for the Owners (from London, England) to visit with Canadian family members during Summer vacations.
The floor plan for this house includes 5 Bedrooms (3 on the First floor, and 2 in the Walkout Basement), 2 Bathrooms, an open-concept Kitchen/ Living/ Dining Room, Entry Hall, Recreation Room and Laundry Room. A woodstove in the Living Room offers a comforting radiant heat-source.

Occupying the space between the ground and the tree canopy, the residence provides an unfolding spatial experience relating the interior spaces to the adjacent landscape. The arrangement of the guest wing, main living spaces and bedroom wing, which wrap along the hill’s crest, is a response to the topography, solar orientations and views beyond. From the entry courtyard, the low profile of the house and selective openings through the façade allow for a playful hide and reveal of the landscape.

When this project started, the owner wanted to create a small bathroom with a walk-in shower as an addition to an existing bedroom. The space had to be taken from an existing storage room. Even though space was very limited, I still managed to create this beautiful and contemporary bathroom with a glass shower door, a floating oak vanity and a backlit vanity mirror that also has a built in "anti-fog" feature. The Italian tiles have a mat finish and the wall tiles are embossed with a hexagon pattern. Recessed lighting, and towel warmer and floor heating are just a few more features I was able to add to this tiny spa.

This house is discreetly tucked into its wooded site in the Mad River Valley near the Sugarbush Resort in Vermont. The soaring roof lines complement the slope of the land and open up views though large windows to a meadow planted with native wildflowers. The house was built with natural materials of cedar shingles, fir beams and native stone walls. These materials are complemented with innovative touches including concrete floors, composite exterior wall panels and exposed steel beams. The home is passively heated by the sun, aided by triple pane windows and super-insulated walls.

Gorgeous dream bathroom with Echelon cabinetry, Wesley in Linen with Pewter Glaze. Heated radiant floor. Lovely warm light and custom shower. Large bathroom remodel with wide plank flooring and radiant heat. Granite is a gorgeous Bianco Antico. Chester County Kitchen and Bath made custom mirrors to match cabinetry. So many final touches produced a spectacular bathroom oasis!

The design of this home was driven by the owners’ desire for a three-bedroom waterfront home that showcased the spectacular views and park-like setting. As nature lovers, they wanted their home to be organic, minimize any environmental impact on the sensitive site and embrace nature.
This unique home is sited on a high ridge with a 45° slope to the water on the right and a deep ravine on the left. The five-acre site is completely wooded and tree preservation was a major emphasis. Very few trees were removed and special care was taken to protect the trees and environment throughout the project. To further minimize disturbance, grades were not changed and the home was designed to take full advantage of the site’s natural topography. Oak from the home site was re-purposed for the mantle, powder room counter and select furniture.
The visually powerful twin pavilions were born from the need for level ground and parking on an otherwise challenging site. Fill dirt excavated from the main home provided the foundation. All structures are anchored with a natural stone base and exterior materials include timber framing, fir ceilings, shingle siding, a partial metal roof and corten steel walls. Stone, wood, metal and glass transition the exterior to the interior and large wood windows flood the home with light and showcase the setting. Interior finishes include reclaimed heart pine floors, Douglas fir trim, dry-stacked stone, rustic cherry cabinets and soapstone counters.
Exterior spaces include a timber-framed porch, stone patio with fire pit and commanding views of the Occoquan reservoir. A second porch overlooks the ravine and a breezeway connects the garage to the home.
Numerous energy-saving features have been incorporated, including LED lighting, on-demand gas water heating and special insulation. Smart technology helps manage and control the entire house.

This gorgeous home, situated in the Commonwealth subdivision of the Galisteo Basin Preserve, was designed to accommodate the beautiful but sometimes harsh weather of the Basin. Built around an inner courtyard, buffered to the somewhat inclement conditions, it allows for seasonal year around enjoyment. The floor to ceiling windows, European Reynaers Aluminum, were imported from Ireland, and appear as glassy walls that disappear into pocketing doors ensuring magnificent wraparound views.
The grand entrance, encased with an oversized custom steel and brass entry door, with glass side panel and transom, open up to soaring illuminated recessed lit ceilings. Porcelain tile floors seamlessly transition between interior/exterior. An impressive 3-sided Ortal fireplace provides warmth and coziness encapsulating the entire great room. The excellence of the materials and exclusive nature of the finishes are expressed in a tailored and sophisticated manner.
The 4,332 heated per square foot home is designed with two Master Suite wings that spin off the main great room. The state-of-the-art kitchen is sleek and spacious with an expansive island comprised of Elegant Brown granite countertops, luxury modern Italian Poliform custom cabinets and high-end Gaggenau appliances. The home has a highly efficient engineered heating/cooling system with heat radiant floors and Unico air conditioning.
A detached guest casita/art studio sits adjacent to the main house, on a lushly landscaped protected courtyard. The exterior landscaping is organically integrated into the natural terrain, incorporating a bocce ball court, walking labyrinth, sculpture and water features.

TESTIMONIAL
After researching several builders in Santa Fe and then interviewing the ones of interest, we decided on Will Prull as he seemed to instantly connect to what we wanted and how to achieve it. He was also highly recommended by our architect. Our Project Manager was excellent and helped us make decisions that creep up between the plans and the actual building. Our house won the AIA award in 2016 for Santa Fe. When choosing your builder, the most important thing is that your Project Manager understands your direction and has your best interests at heart.
