It all started with a client visit to our showroom where a family fell in love with three linoleum colors: Kyoto, Chartreuse and Hyacinth. We worked with the client’s architect, Douglas Kocher, to develop a plan for the design and fabrication of the rug in their Chelsea loft. Because of the particular area where the rug would be, we fabricated it onsite to ensure the irregular stripe pattern was achieved and that the existing support beam running through the space’s open plan was taken into account properly.

This West Shore property sits on the shore of Lake Tahoe, where strict TRPA requirements and a fast-paced schedule shaped the design process. The landscape supports a full remodel of the home and guest house, integrating TRPA-required BMPs, onsite stormwater management, and a planting palette suited to the alpine environment. Large-caliper, hand-selected specimen trees were placed with exacting care to frame views, anchor outdoor rooms, and soften the home’s contemporary architecture. An updated pool, lakeside spa, and curated art pieces create a series of modern spaces for family gathering and quiet moments by the water. The result is a functional, contemporary landscape that supports the home’s modern transformation while honoring Tahoe’s natural setting. *Completed while serving as Project Landscape Architect at a previous firm.

We teamed up with our New Home Owner client in Manhasset to create this spacious open access basement within the existing foot print. All existing closets and wood paneling were removed and new sheetrock walls and ceiling were installed with recessed 4" LED lighting with three way control switches for ease of use. We complemented the open design with the installation of a custom Oak open staircase to emulate the upstairs staircase. A laundry room was designed to house a custom closet and new appliances in the original location. We also installed all new Italian porcelain tiles on the floor in a subway pattern. Our Professional Photographer from Chuck Dana's Photography was called in to capture the beauty of the newly created space.

For 6 years we lived with an ugly, out of scale builders grade mantel that I couldn't wait to tear out! Turns out it made the perfect support for my new custom, one of a kind mantel. I conceived, designed and had this piece built onsite by my favorite carpenter. I wanted it to look like a continuous piece of wood that wrapped around on the edges, like I had seen done on benches, but with a live edge on the bottom not the top. When brainstorming it I couldn't find ONE image of anything close to my vision (let alone be able to simply purchase a ready made one). This is a hand chosen, stunning Bubinga plank and it's feature is the variegated wood tones - it "goes with" everything! I also had the floating picture frame custom made to make my favorite tree canvas art more in scale with the fireplace and wall. This tree stands next to our fire pit in Door County, WI and is a favorite view we wanted to bring home. The two trunks are antique indonesian pieces. The one on the left holds my firewood in the winter and the one on the right is the perfect place to store all of the media components. Cathy Zaeske
