Through a meticulous selection of materials and finishes, the bathrooms achieve a tasteful fusion of contemporary and heritage-inspired design. Both the main and guest bathrooms feature chic wall tiles and polished concrete-style heated flooring, enveloping the spaces in a warm and inviting ambiance. The wall-mounted faucets at the vanity units, paired with backlit mirrors, add a touch of modern sophistication. The result is a clean, timeless aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the property’s overall design narrative.

Each subsequent bathroom is uniquely crafted. Be it the Carrara select Romano white floor tile in the Hall bathroom Stella in Carrara with black dot polished mosaic, each space has its own narrative. Thoughtful touches like curated plumbing fixtures, lighted mirrors, and designer vanities infuse style into functionality.

The existing conditions consisted of a colonial-style house on an empty lot of bare dirt that sloped steeply down to dense woods to the rear of the house, offering stunning sunset views. We incorporated a series of long, sweeping arcs to define circulation and counter the orthogonal architecture of the house. To highlight and take advantage of the steep slope, the pool and pool terrace were built into the crest of the hill, to provide a dramatic horizon line and take advantage of the views. The extensive planting on the site is used to define the volumes of the garden and create separation and a sense of narrative as one moves through the space. Scott Carman

Narrative: This project is Lake Winnipesaukee retreat from a longtime Battle Associates Client. The long narrow design was a way of capitalizing on the extensive water view in all directions.

Bianco Dolomiti is the definition of understated beauty.

The marble’s crisp white base creates an ideal foundation for modern design narratives, perfectly complemented by the striking bubble chandelier above. (Photography: @nativehousephotography)

The entryway serves as a vibrant introduction to the home’s narrative, immediately establishing the project’s theme of expressive individuality. An elegant marble-topped console with a sculptural brass base provides a refined anchor, but the true focal point is the kaleidoscopic abstract artwork, which introduces a deliberate burst of energy and depth. The arrangement of organic florals in a soft lavender vase—an intentional echo of the palette found in the adjoining living spaces—creates a sense of quiet continuity. It is a transitional moment that feels curated and celebratory, offering an artful welcome that reflects the owners' personal journey and their nuanced approach to modern city living.

This home entry is a warm welcome that also strikes a bold first impression, a fusion of moody sophistication and curated artistry. A yellow door opens into a charcoal alcove, where layered florals and sculptural decor rest on an iron console, setting the tone for a home rich in texture and narrative. The arched doorway, trimmed in brass nailhead opens into the home where an expressive. modern portrait is counterpoint to the space's old-world elegance. The scene is inviting, intriguing, and instantly draws you in.

Natural light pours through traditional double-hung windows overlooking a private garden, illuminating a brushed nickel pull-down faucet that arches gracefully above a deep stainless undermount sink set into pristine white quartz countertops. The delicate Moroccan-inspired marble arabesque backsplash adds artful texture while connecting this sink station to the kitchen's cohesive design narrative. Prasada Custom Homes, Oakville, Ontario.

A rare vintage Suzani wedding quilt, discovered in a Middle Eastern market and treasured for years, now serves as a meaningful focal point in this luxury family room renovation. Rich in artisanal craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and vibrant color, the handcrafted textile adds warmth, authenticity, and a deeply personal narrative to the curated interior. Flanking the quilt is an aged copper tabletop repurposed as sculptural wall art, which introduces rich patina, texture, and metallic warmth. Together, these collected pieces create a gallery-worthy composition that celebrates global design influences, bespoke styling, and timeless luxury through carefully curated heirloom and artisan elements.

Our design concept combined color, sculpture, and dramatic lighting throughout the residence. On a wall between the entry and dining room a Brueton dining buffet offers an effective statement against a dramatically colorful wall. The artwork is a provocative photo narrative by artist Gregory Scott, recognized for his bold combination of self-images in photography, painting, and video.

Located on a sprawling 50-acre equestrian estate in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, a historic barn ruin was meticulously transformed into a luxurious, one-of-a-kind residence. This exquisite home beautifully marries the rustic charm of traditional post-and-beam construction with the elegance of modern luxury. Central to the design is a deep respect for the site’s heritage. The home incorporates reclaimed wood and stone salvaged from the property alongside new materials, carefully integrated into the architecture to preserve the narrative of a Pennsylvania bank barn. The thoughtful use of materials ensures the legacy of the barn is honored while elevating it to meet the standards of modern living. Serving as a testament to timeless craftsmanship, the converted barn residence features post-and-beam construction.
