Here's a fantastic example of 3 Lights Design's Collaborative Construction approach to design. A contractor craftsman, and a practicing Buddhist, who was also part of a group of conscious investors, approached 3 Lights Designs to carry out a set permit drawings. Even though the plans seemed mostly done, and even though they were building the project to sell, we insisted that he go through our Full-Spectrum Client Intake to get to know him better and to see the project through his eyes. Instead of envisioning his own home, the zen master craftsman envisioned a home for the ideal clients, creating a space, as he put it "that 'sings' when they walk into it." Guided by the vision, we all worked together, taking a fresh look a the project, revealing heretofore unseen opportunities that opened up the space, connected it more with the surrounding redwoods, repurposed materials from other historic Bay Area buildings, and, ultimately added 1,200 square feet of premium space without changing the footprint. When it when up for sale, it was the hottest home on the market, ultimately adding over 40% to the original asking price. The real secret: This was no "flip". It was a labor of love to honor the materials, the builder professionals, the building's remarkable setting and, ultimate, to connect the home with the perfect clients, clients who eventually said this in their offering letter: "We wouldn't change a thing. We absolutely loved everything about it."

Eric Roth - Photo INSIDE OUT, OUTSIDE IN – IPSWICH, MA Downsizing from their sprawling country estate in Hamilton, MA, this retiring couple knew they found utopia when they purchased this already picturesque marsh-view home complete with ocean breezes, privacy and endless views. It was only a matter of putting their personal stamp on it with an emphasis on outdoor living to suit their evolving lifestyle with grandchildren. That vision included a natural screened porch that would invite the landscape inside and provide a vibrant space for maximized outdoor entertaining complete with electric ceiling heaters, adjacent wet bar & beverage station that all integrated seamlessly with the custom-built inground pool. Aside from providing the perfect getaway & entertainment mecca for their large family, this couple planned their forever home thoughtfully by adding square footage to accommodate single-level living. Sunrises are now magical from their first-floor master suite, luxury bath with soaker tub and laundry room, all with a view! Growing older will be more enjoyable with sleeping quarters, laundry and bath just steps from one another. With walls removed, utilities updated, a gas fireplace installed, and plentiful built-ins added, the sun-filled kitchen/dining/living combination eases entertaining and makes for a happy hang-out. This Ipswich home is drenched in conscious details, intentional planning and surrounded by a bucolic landscape, the perfect setting for peaceful enjoyment and harmonious living

Lots of windows for natural light and ample space for night stands and dresser, make this master bedroom a relaxing retreat. Most of the color pallet is neutral with just a pop of red at the headboard, area rug and a couple of the accent pillows.
