A centerpiece of old world elegance, this French-inspired estate courtyard is anchored by a hand carved tiered fountain with a classic quatrefoil basin and symmetrical water flow. The fountain garden acts as a focal point, framed by lush flowering borders, drip-integrated flower beds, and a carefully designed entry axis. Natural stone columns and old-world spouts complement the rich brick and masonry throughout. Custom pergolas with exposed rafters and heavy wood beams offer shade and architectural interest, while exterior wall sconces and accent uplighting highlight the stone detail and custom exterior millwork. Just beyond the courtyard water feature, double doors lead into a guest bedroom with private side access merging luxury design and thoughtful functionality.

S+H Construction and Architect Will Ruhl collaborated to transform and modernize this 3,500-square-foot contemporary home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Doug Hanna of S+H Construction recognized that this building, originally an abandoned municipal garage that was later converted to residential space in the late 1950’s by renowned architect Paul Rudolph, was not a typical project. With evidence of water damage and poor insulation, the goal was to make the house energy-efficient and weather tight home with the help of Zero Energy Design. S+H installed translucent polycarbonate window panels to bring light and warmth to the back room of the house, which was formerly unlivable for several months of the year due to the lack of installation. The improved room now offers heating, cooling, and high density foam insulation, and is now home to the new owners’ extensive book collection. The S+H team also installed triple-glazed, super insulated, sliding glass doors—which required modification of the slab deck and steel trusses—to offer outdoor access for the new residents.

THEME Doors are a visual frame to the entrance of a great room. This highquality, personalized element adds fun and interest to the room before it is even entered, and provides a great introduction for any theme. FOCUS The half-door offers unique access to the room, providing a true feeling of ownership for the child and peace of mind for parents. The top half of the door swings separate from the bottom, maintaining great ventilation and a clear view into the room. GROWTH The doors look beautiful and function normally for many years. SAFETY The doors easily replace unsightly baby gates and provide the same level of restraint, without the footholds or slats often used by children to manipulate or climb gates. Solid wood core birch construction keeps sound out (or sound in) when the door is closed, while a sliding gate lock safely secures the bottom half, and makes opening the top half simple.

Our clients embarked on a renovation journey to transform their cherished countryside cottage, focusing on revamping the kitchen and basement. Despite modernizing the space, we preserved its original rural allure. Notably, our kitchen cabinet layout accomplishment stands out as our clients initially doubted the feasibility of accommodating both an island and a dining table within this area. By integrating a banquette into the island, we eliminated the need for circulation space on one side of the dining table, granting our clients an additional 42 inches of room. Another distinctive feature in this country-style kitchen is the walk-in corner pantry equipped with automatic lighting, offering great convenience to those who frequently access dry goods, canned items, and essential ingredients. In summary, this project not only met but exceeded our clients' expectations, ensuring years of enjoyment with their family.
