The owners of this magnificent fly-in/ fly-out lodge had a vision for a home that would showcase their love of nature, animals, flying and big game hunting. Featured in the 2011 Design New York Magazine, we are proud to bring this vision to life. Chuck Smith, AIA, created the architectural design for the timber frame lodge which is situated next to a regional airport. Heather DeMoras Design Consultants was chosen to continue the owners vision through careful interior design and selection of finishes, furniture and lighting, built-ins, and accessories. HDDC's involvement touched every aspect of the home, from Kitchen and Trophy Room design to each of the guest baths and every room in between. Drawings and 3D visualization were produced for built in details such as massive fireplaces and their surrounding mill work, the trophy room and its world map ceiling and floor with inlaid compass rose, custom molding, trim & paneling throughout the house, and a master bath suite inspired by and Oak Forest. A home of this caliber requires and attention to detail beyond simple finishes. Extensive tile designs highlight natural scenes and animals. Many portions of the home received artisan paint effects to soften the scale and highlight architectural features. Artistic balustrades depict woodland creatures in forest settings. To insure the continuity of the Owner's vision, we assisted in the selection of furniture and accessories, and even assisted with the selection of windows and doors, exterior finishes and custom exterior lighting fixtures. Interior details include ceiling fans with finishes and custom detailing to coordinate with the other custom lighting fixtures of the home. The Dining Room boasts of a bronze moose chandelier above the dining room table. Along with custom furniture, other touches include a hand stitched Mennonite quilt in the Master Bedroom and murals by our decorative artist.

Rob Sanders Architects was asked to expand an 1856 CT farmhouse which had numerous additions, and to replace the 1920's garage with a separate but connected three-car garage and guest suite. The new garage structure includes a bedroom and bath for frequent long-term visitors as well as a Potting room for the owner's avid gardening interests. A covered porch overlooks the rear paddock, which is used for tent parties and barn dances. The garage is connected to the house by an arcaded covered breezeway, which angles to allow vehicle circulation between old stone farmwalls. The Breezeway opens to a new entry and Mudroom, which features brick and cherrywood floors. A new hallway is lined with wainscoating with a custom pattern taken from the antique trim of the house, and opens to a new kitchen with multiple workstations. The work island features a massive endgrain butcher block work surface, supported by repurposed sea creature finials the owners found in Asia. The kitchen opens to a remodeled Family Room with fieldstone fireplace. Upstairs, a new Master Bedroom suite extends the gable form of the original farmhouse, and has a roof deck to overlook the rear field. The residence incorporates flooring made from old-growth pine and cherry trees harvested, dried, and milled on site. The HVAC system was modernized with a geothermal ground-loop system, reflecting the owners avid concerns about the environment. Photography by David Sloane and Rob Sanders Architects.

A small bedroom was made to feel larger by spreading the closet around the perimeter as millwork. This also created unique window bench moments which draw in natural light and provide quiet reading areas.

This jungle themed residence embodies the beautiful animal and plant wildlife that has become a primary draw for Orlando’s residents and travelers. With Disney’s Animal Kingdom only a few miles from the complex, the incorporation of a zebrawood pattern at the entry, a canopy creatures master bedroom mural backdrop, and a royal blue shrub wallpapered guest room effectively highlight the enchanted resort and the magic of nature conclusively. Grounding hues of navy and turquoise serve to connect each of the divided prints into one singular motif, and natural finishes give a final nod to life’s sustaining habitat.

No furry creatures were harmed in the creation of our Mounted Moose Head and Deer Head Ornaments from Katherine's Collection. In fact, at only about 4" or so in size, they're more appropriate for display in a Christmas tree than the hunting lodge. But despite their diminutive size, they're both big on personality. Masterfully crafted from quality products for a nearly naturalistic appearance. Both are dusted with glitter for that final touch of glam you can't find in the forest – unless, of course, it's enchanted. Arrive ready to hang.

Photos by Alan Barley. An innovative Modern-style home at an affordable price – yet, responds to our principles of climate-specific design, superior indoor air-quality and “total cost of ownership” durability. The appeal of our solutions from a “creature comfort” point of view is that they embody an understated simplicity, yet contain a visually interesting design that can be adapted to multiple home-buyer needs.

The existing primary bathroom was simply outdated. The goal was to create an oasis – a place of serenity, privacy and renewal. This is where the day begins. A thoughtful design would need to accommodate the rigueurs and requirements of personal care rituals and, of course, storage for all the accoutrements involved. The homeowners also wanted two commode rooms. Design challenges: -Could not move the window or rework anything on the exterior -Could not take too much width from the tub -Make everything hidden but easily accessible -Design solutions and new creature comforts: --His and her sinks with pull-out waste ---Pull-out hair accessory cabinet with an outlet inside ---Makeup area ---Ample of storage along back wall for everyday work clothes and hampers ---A tub with air jets ---Spa-like steam shower with body sprays ---Two DTV-control pads to start and adjust the shower without getting wet ---Heated floor, shower floor and bench ---Recessed cabinet with an appliance garage to hide the electric toothbrushes and provide storage for everyday toiletries ---Frosted shower privacy window This new primary bathroom is part of a larger remodeling project that also involved a new primary suite closet, an additional bathroom and a large kitchen.
