Laundry room - large transitional single-wall vinyl floor and beige floor laundry room idea with a farmhouse sink, flat-panel cabinets, white cabinets, granite countertops, white walls, a side-by-side washer/dryer and gray countertops

Beautiful Large Front Bedroom Window overlooking the harbor in “Salt Pond Tee”, a custom home newly constructed on Cape Cod tucked in between a golf course, a protected salt pond that opens to bay and ocean, and a steep hillside leading up to another house. It is a gracious home reminiscent of late 19th century Shingle Style homes that combined shingle-wrapped forms with Classical Revival details. | Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders Scope Of Work: Architecture, Construction | Living Space: 5,227ft² | Photography: Brian Vanden Brink |

It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with the owners of this custom home while it was still under construction. The early planning allowed LWB to design the topographic features of the site to fit into the amenities that the clients desired such as an organically shaped swimming pool, a spa, planting, etc. The extreme grades in the backyard created an opportunity to place the spa overlooking the pool. The unique grading situation also allowed the pool utilities to be built underneath the lawn in a vented room, hidden from view. Waterfalls in the pool and a water wall help to create a relaxing experience in the homeowner's backyard. This Project was awarded with a coveted Grand Award in Residential Installation $50,001 & Over by the Ohio Nursery & Landscape Association.

The 3,400 SF, 3 – bedroom, 3 ½ bath main house feels larger than it is because we pulled the kids’ bedroom wing and master suite wing out from the public spaces and connected all three with a TV Den. Convenient ranch house features include a porte cochere at the side entrance to the mud room, a utility/sewing room near the kitchen, and covered porches that wrap two sides of the pool terrace. We designed a separate icehouse to showcase the owner’s unique collection of Texas memorabilia. The building includes a guest suite and a comfortable porch overlooking the pool. The main house and icehouse utilize reclaimed wood siding, brick, stone, tie, tin, and timbers alongside appropriate new materials to add a feeling of age.

Soaring ceilings and clean architectural lines frame this stunning open living space, where a custom-crafted staircase becomes a seamless design feature. The staircase’s crisp white risers and slender dark handrails lead to an upper balcony overlook, enhancing the airy flow between the main floor and lofted living areas. An expansive sectional with vibrant accent pillows anchors the lounge zone, blending comfort with contemporary style beneath a sculptural arc lamp. Rich hardwood floors run throughout, tying the living room, kitchen, and staircase into a cohesive design narrative. Above, a grand ceiling fan emphasizes the vertical volume, while pendant lights over the kitchen island highlight the open-plan layout. This carefully designed staircase and balcony setup transforms a transitional living area into a sophisticated blend of openness, light, and architectural artistry.

This used to be a completely unfinished basement with concrete floors, cinder block walls, and exposed floor joists above. The homeowners wanted to finish the space to include a wet bar, powder room, separate play room for their daughters, bar seating for watching tv and entertaining, as well as a finished living space with a television with hidden surround sound speakers throughout the space. They also requested some unfinished spaces; one for exercise equipment, and one for HVAC, water heater, and extra storage. With those requests in mind, I designed the basement with the above required spaces, while working with the contractor on what components needed to be moved. The homeowner also loved the idea of sliding barn doors, which we were able to use as at the opening to the unfinished storage/HVAC area.

The open-concept living room and kitchen are anchored by soaring ceilings and full-height glass, creating a seamless connection to the tropical landscape beyond.

This classic white, small but spacious, galley kitchen was created by Bilotta designer, Tom Vecchio featuring Rutt Classic cabinetry in a shaker style door in white paint. The apartment overlooks Central Park so in order to take advantage of the breathtaking views Tom eliminated the cabinetry above the sink, as the original kitchen had been designed. The decorative shallow shelves mimic the custom curved mullion glass doors. The hardware is a mix of crystal knobs for the wall cabinets and polished chrome knobs and pulls for the bases and appliances, all by Top Knobs. Another great feature of this small kitchen is the Carrara marble countertop that extends beyond the sink to create a sitting area near the kitchen complete with Klismo-style chairs. The backsplash is Artistic Tile’s Chateau Danse Mosaic Blanc in Thassos and Calcatta Gold. Appliances are by Miele except for the refrigerator which is Subzero. The stainless steel undermount sink is by Franke and the faucet is the Julia collection by Waterworks in polished chrome.
