Project Description:
Remarkable...In a high-end neighborhood defmed by the everyday, typical landscapes this discerning client really wanted the new landscape to not only be functional but also stand out as something very special and personal.
With a large family and a very busy lifestyle the clients dreamed of having a wonderful spill-over space to accommodate the everyday needs of the family as well as provide a comfortable living space to entertain office associates on occasion.
Before the transformation began the clients entertained outdoors primarily under cover of the existing porch adjacent to the family room. The desire was to expand the living space and add an outdoor fireplace. Initially the clients were thinking of attaching the frreplace to the perimeter of the existing porch; upon further discussion it was proposed to be moved further out into the yard.
The first challenge was to establish a new grade for the patio on an existing slope which was sloping away from the patio in two different directions. To achieve this grade change a retaining wall was needed.
The use of natural stone was paramount in the design as the clients felt it lends a timeless quality to the overall look. With this in mind it was important to keep the wall and other features made of a natural material. The main structural wall to manage the grade was made of dry stacked 3-6-9 cut Limestone and capped with Limestone.
The expanded patio space was made of dimensional cut Bluestone set on a concrete base. The clients wanted a more fluid design to the patio but yet did like the clean lines normally scene in a more formal layout. The arc-tangent design marries those two styles beautifully.
The seat wall and the frreplace are made of concrete block construction and veneered Pennsylvania Fieldstone. The seat wall bookends both sides of the frreplace and follows the same arc-tangent design of the patio. The frreplace is also equipped with a natural gas starter for burning frrewood.
The second challenge was the desire to design and build an intimate outdoor space in a backyard with many of the native trees removed and no privacy fencing in place. The placement of the fireplace as well as a strategic location of an Arborvitae gives the overall sense of cozy enclosure. The Boxwood hedge located in the planting bed on top of the 3-6-9 Limestone wall defmes a sense of security and safety by defming a natural railing to the elevated Bluestone patio.
The added, painted, cedar arbor also lends itself well to defining the space and giving a greater feeling of the cozy intimate feel the clients were seeking. We added a niche light in the arch which lights the two limestone steps that brings the clients off the patio and down to lawn grade. The paint of the arbor matches the trim of the house perfectly.
There are also a few copper path lights and well as a brass well light illuminating the Redbud tree.
Bluestone stepping stones on the opposite end of the patio from the arbor allows access to the backyard lawn areas as well complete the design.
All of the plantings had to be deer resistant, require low maintenance and provide seasonal interest throughout the entire year. Another requirement was the size of the patio to allow for the client to have plenty of spaces to accommodate annual container plantings to bring in the seasonal interest they desired.
Client expectations were exceeded and they have noted on more how much more time they spend outside. They truly think of their new outdoor living space as remarkable!

Amy Peltier Interior Design & HomeThis home showcases a joyful palette with printed upholstery, bright pops of color, and unexpected design elements. It's all about balancing style with functionality as each piece of decor serves an aesthetic and practical purpose.
Feinmann, Inc.Our client, a professor of Japanese sociology at Harvard, owned a Deck House home with its post and beam construction and 1950’s modernist simplicity. She asked Feinmann to design a multi-purpose addition to meet several needs: a functional yet spacious home office, a beautiful entry way into the home, and a serene sitting area.
The client mentioned she has always wanted a Japanese “scholar’s study,” which is traditionally a contemplative workspace area enclosed by shoji screens. We told her the Japanese minimalism she desired and the clean modernist aesthetic of her existing home could marry quite nicely (the blending of East and West) with some thoughtful interventions.
The challenge then became finding a way to balance these styles. The house is surrounded by many trees, so bringing nature into the home was easily achieved through careful placement of windows throughout the addition. But the design element that brought it all together was the large translucent wall (kalwall) in the main hallway. This unique material allows for diffused natural light to envelop the living spaces. It has the same insulative properties as a typical exterior wall, and therefore is considered to be a great “green” building material. It is also quite versatile, and we were able to customize it to give our accent wall the Japanese feel of a shoji screen.
We reiterated this design element with actual shoji screens to enclose the scholar’s study, which also doubles as a guest room. Post-and-beam construction was continued from the existing house through the new addition in order to preserve aesthetic continuity.
Homeowner quote:
"I wanted a certain feeling and the Feinmann architect really got it. I had already been through three different architects—one even said that the house was a tear down."

Dawnvale GroupHere at Dawnvale, we’re always delighted to bring our bar design expertise to the residential space. We’re often asked to design bars for private clients and these projects are always a fun challenge to work on. We recently completed a truly stunning home bar project in South Cove, Suffolk turning what was an extension to the original property into a dream entertainment room complete with a stylish bar that wouldn’t be out of place in a luxury venue. The interior of the property was designed by Brawn Design and has a light, airy, modern feel that perfectly offsets the sublime bar.
The bar exudes luxury with expansive white marble top, brass foot rests and under top lighting. Elegantly decorated white timber surrounds the bar and antique effect mirrors are perfectly framed by brass and matching stemware racks. This creates a stunning, nicely lit display to make a focal point of the spirits and liquors available.
The client wanted a space that would allow them to entertain their guests at home in total comfort and luxury, meaning the bar is designed to an exacting specification and marries form and function perfectly. Space on the back wall, beneath the display has been used to accommodate two fridges and cupboards for extra storage, meaning everything the host could possibly need is conveniently at hand to serve guests throughout the evening. Spacious, stylish and luxurious, the bar area is sure to add a wonderful touch to any event, whether it’s a special occasion with family or a relaxing evening playing pool with friends.
For the beer connoisseur, we positioned a sleek Birra Moretti draft beer pump and compact drip tray atop the bar, bringing the satisfaction of a hand pulled drink from the pub to the home. Below this is a glass wash and further along is a sink to make cleaning up after a gathering quick and simple for the host.
Dawnvale completed this home bar installation within one week. The space was completed with tasteful decorations and furnishings, sourced by Brawn Design. Four stools and overhead lighting perfectly compliment the bar and face a ‘Picasso’ pool table by Liberty Games, situated next to an impressive piano. Everything in fact that the host could need to throw a stylish gathering or enjoy a relaxed evening with friends without having to leave their South Cove sanctuary.
