Cathedral ceilings and seamless cabinetry complement this kitchen’s river view The low ceilings in this ’70s contemporary were a nagging issue for the 6-foot-8 homeowner. Plus, drab interiors failed to do justice to the home’s Connecticut River view. By raising ceilings and removing non-load-bearing partitions, architect Christopher Arelt was able to create a cathedral-within-a-cathedral structure in the kitchen, dining and living area. Decorative mahogany rafters open the space’s height, introduce a warmer palette and create a welcoming framework for light. The homeowner, a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, wanted to emulate the famed architect’s use of reddish-brown concrete floors, and the result further warmed the interior. “Concrete has a connotation of cold and industrial but can be just the opposite,” explains Arelt. Clunky European hardware was replaced by hidden pivot hinges, and outside cabinet corners were mitered so there is no evidence of a drawer or door from any angle.

This single-story golf course home encompasses four bedrooms, five full/two half bathrooms, chef’s kitchen, library, theater/media room, covered loggia with alfresco kitchen, swimming pool with spa and three-car air-conditioned garage. Transitional archways, coffered ceilings, crown moldings, wainscoting details, custom built-ins, meticulous floor plan design and rich materials of marble, stone and hardwood make this home spectacular. The home greets with its curved entry, marble foyer and gallery which unfolds onto the living room with stone fireplace and Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring. Also featured are a theater/media room, formal dining room, 700-bottle, climate-controlled wine room and gourmet kitchen with vaulted cypress ceiling. A family room with bay windows and French doors leads to the covered loggia with summer kitchen and dining area. The master wing includes a separate sitting room, walk-in wardrobes, morning bar and separate his and her bathrooms with volume ceilings, built-in vanities, freestanding pedestal soaking tub and huge glazed showers. The home is perfectly appointed and another example of Marc Julien Homes’ commitment to perfection.

After in master.

Inspiration for a contemporary bathroom remodel in Denver

So, what resulted was a magnificent kitchen, allowing for additional walls of cabinets and a grand island. It is a joy to join master carpenters and owners with a dream. Everyone has fun. A preexisting brick wall was removed between the kitchen and the Family Room. Another wall was removed between the Kitchen and the Dining Room. Steel beam and columns were then installed. Beautiful crown molding enhanced the cabinetry. Lighting fixtures, under cabinet lights, in cabinet lights, pendant lights, and back splash tile were finishing touches. A new Red Oak floor was installed and finished. So... that is what happened with this family's dream. General Contractor: ED Enterprises, Inc. Photography: Mike Kaskel Photography

For this recently moved in military family, their old rambler home offered plenty of area for potential improvement. An entire new kitchen space was designed to create a greater feeling of family warmth. It all started with gutting the old rundown kitchen. The kitchen space was cramped and disconnected from the rest of the main level. There was a large bearing wall separating the living room from the kitchen and the dining room. A structure recessed beam was inserted into the attic space that enabled opening up of the entire main level. A large L-shaped island took over the wall placement giving a big work and storage space for the kitchen. Installed wood flooring matched up with the remaining living space created a continuous seam-less main level. By eliminating a side door and cutting through brick and block back wall, a large picture window was inserted to allow plenty of natural light into the kitchen. Recessed and pendent lights also improved interior lighting. By using offset cabinetry and a carefully selected granite slab to complement each other, a more soothing space was obtained to inspire cooking and entertaining. The fabulous new kitchen was completed with a new French door leading to the sun room. This family is now very happy with the massive transformation, and are happy to join their new community.

We designed this space to open up the closets by knocking down those non load bearing walls, and refreshing everything else to make it more contemporary while maintaining a client-preferred traditional character.

We designed this space to open up the closets by knocking down those non load bearing walls, and refreshing everything else to make it more contemporary while maintaining a client-preferred traditional character.

We transformed a separate bathroom and laundry room into a single, cohesive space by removing the load-bearing wall that divided them. The new room features a stunning blend of industrial and modern design elements, including exposed ductwork and wooden beams that add a raw, structural aesthetic. The walls and ceiling are freshly painted in modern, sleek tones, enhancing the room's contemporary feel. The bathroom area boasts a luxurious tub with a built-in niche, while the laundry section includes a functional sink paired with an LED mirror. A convenient folding table and additional storage cabinets provide ample space for laundry tasks and organization, making this renovated room both stylish and highly practical.

Battle Architects was hired to be the architect for a large vacation compound on Tips Cove, Lake Winnipesaukee. In our early discussions with the clients, their mantra to us was that they wanted to “love every inch.” From this beginning, Battle Architects worked closely with the clients and team carefully developing and coordinating every detail inside and out. The compound consists of a caretaker’s house and separate garage, utility garage, boathouse, and the main home. The main home was oriented and designed to enjoy the beauty of Lake Winnipesaukee. The exterior details were developed with a rustic tone which the clients loved, and the interior spaces were designed to accommodate large family gatherings and create great memories. The second floor has “pods” of bedrooms and bathrooms for each sibling’s family privacy with a couple of common areas for smaller gatherings. There is a private master suite, located on the first floor, with its own screened porch offering a gorgeous view of the lake. There is an easy flow through the kitchen, great room, and large screened porch accommodating large gatherings. The basement is a series of entertainment spaces – an exercise room, movie theater, bowling alley, game area, and bar area for the rainy days and warm nights where the family can gather and enjoy their time together. Big picture interior details were designed with a rustic feel inspired by projects such as Lake Placid Lodge. There were opportunities to create unique spaces such as the bowling alley which incorporates details inspired by Fenway Park. The exterior material palette is comprised of river rock, skirl siding, red cedar shingles, Douglas fir timber frame, and natural and painted trim. The interior material palette offers warmth and comfort with butternut, oak, hickory, and birch bark on the first floor; cherry, Douglas fir, and mahogany on the second floor; and oak, mahogany, alder, Douglas fir, and English walnut for the basement. Exterior details were developed with energy conservation in mind and acoustic details were developed throughout the home for privacy. Millwork and cabinetry were developed with a mill shop and artisan cabinetry and mantels were added as highlights in the home.
