Nestled on a serene bluff with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, Overlook is a contemporary retreat that draws inspiration from agrarian forms and modern craftsmanship. Anchored by a striking gabled steel pavilion, the home opens fully to its environment, offering a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. ​Materials like weathered steel, wood, and board-formed concrete create a timeless palette that reflects the natural beauty of the site, while generous overhangs provide shade and shelter throughout the year. The central breezeway—framed by exposed structural elements and expansive glazing—serves as both a grand entry and an outdoor living room, inviting light, breeze, and guests deep into the heart of the home. ​Overlook balances openness and privacy, structure and softness, with spaces that are both grounded and soaring. It is a place of calm permanence—thoughtfully sited, deeply rooted, and endlessly livable.

Eye-Land: Named for the expansive white oak savanna views, this beautiful 5,200-square foot family home offers seamless indoor/outdoor living with five bedrooms and three baths, and space for two more bedrooms and a bathroom. The site posed unique design challenges. The home was ultimately nestled into the hillside, instead of placed on top of the hill, so that it didn’t dominate the dramatic landscape. The openness of the savanna exposes all sides of the house to the public, which required creative use of form and materials. The home’s one-and-a-half story form pays tribute to the site’s farming history. The simplicity of the gable roof puts a modern edge on a traditional form, and the exterior color palette is limited to black tones to strike a stunning contrast to the golden savanna. The main public spaces have oversized south-facing windows and easy access to an outdoor terrace with views overlooking a protected wetland. The connection to the land is further strengthened by strategically placed windows that allow for views from the kitchen to the driveway and auto court to see visitors approach and children play. There is a formal living room adjacent to the front entry for entertaining and a separate family room that opens to the kitchen for immediate family to gather before and after mealtime.

A spacious colonial in the heart of the waterfront community of Greenhaven still had its original 1950s kitchen. A renovation without an addition added space by reconfiguring, and the wall between kitchen and family room was removed to create open flow. A beautiful banquette was built where the family can enjoy breakfast overlooking the pool. Kitchen Design: Studio Dearborn. Interior decorating by Lorraine Levinson. All appliances: Thermador.

Off the kitchen and overlooking the pool, the porch was remodeled into an office and cozy sunroom; it quickly became the grandchildren's favorite hangout. Sunbrella fabrics provide protection against sun and sticky hands. Featured in Charleston Style + Design, Winter 2013 Holger Photography
