A living-dining room design for an apartment with a panoramic view of the water. The clients wanted a contemporary classic interior — elegant and festive, yet comfortable for everyday life. The space is set in a warm palette of cream, beige and gold. The focal point is an arched portal with a marble TV panel, flanked by symmetrical display cabinets with classic glazing. A coffee station is integrated into the same composition and concealed behind cabinet fronts, so function never interrupts the classic image. The dining area features a round glass-top table on a carved pedestal base and upholstered chairs. The lounge sofa faces the window, making the sunset part of the interior. Particular attention was paid to the ceiling and lighting: stucco decor, two crystal chandeliers and hidden niche lighting create a soft, layered glow. Heavy floral drapes complete the look and soften the geometry of the floor-to-ceiling glazing. The interior highlights the apartment's greatest asset — the view — while remaining cohesive, warm and livable.

This is a stunning interior remodel luxuriously designed and appointed by Green Mountain Builders. Creating a beautiful interior space, the expert remodeling team at Green Mountain wanted a free-flowing open concept plan. The gorgeous flooring flows from room to room making this Naples, Florida home a fabulous retreat. The transitional kitchen includes a bank of generous-sized white shaker cabinets with an abundance of top tier lighted-window cabinetry to showcase collections and glassware, a large island for prep work and seating with contrasting-colored cabinetry, an oversized stainless steel refrigerator and upgraded appliances plus beautiful quartz countertops. One absolutely gorgeous feature is the laundry room/mud room…perfection. The master bath is exceptional. From the natural stone countertops to the, sleek shaker cabinets, custom decorative tile work and large free-standing tub, the master bath is a light and roomy addition. Additional attention was paid to the owner’s suite, beautiful staircase and family room. The color selection, choice of lighting fixtures, bathroom and kitchen fixtures all blend creating an elegant, luxury home in one of Naples, premier country club communities, Collier’s Reserve.

The backyard of this house was a no-man’s land when the owners moved in. With little more than a few established trees and a big, noisy air-conditioning unit, the yard was an almost open canvas bordering the Los Padres National Forest in a high-fire zone. We installed a large infiltration swale to capture as much rainfall as possible from the house rain gutters, so the water can be stored in the soil where plants can access it, reducing the amount of irrigation this landscape needs. Plantings obscure the air-conditioning unit, and a water feature was installed so the sound of trickling water would drown-out its sound. The plants we chose are drought tolerant and attractive to native birds and insects. We paid special attention to the plantings nearest to the house, keeping them fairly low growing as to not create a fire ladder beneath the eves. The plants also hold a good deal of moisture in their stems and leaves and are easily kept free of desiccated material, making them fire-wise plants that can actually reduce the chances of the property burning in the event of a nearby wildfire.

Particular attention was paid to the ceiling and lighting: stucco decor, two crystal chandeliers and hidden niche lighting create a soft, layered glow. Heavy floral drapes complete the look and soften the geometry of the floor-to-ceiling glazing.

For an 1890s-era property in Northborough, Massachusetts, we completely revitalized the kitchen to be a beautiful gathering spot for a busy family. The homeowners wanted to ensure the space paid homage to the heritage style of the home while maintaining an open and minimalist aesthetic. To that end, we removed all the wall cabinets and incorporated most of the storage in the base cabinets. The simple Shaker-style doors with brass hardware fit perfectly into the design, with the painted green and natural rustic walnut cabinets offering a gorgeous contrast to the white cabinets. To further transform the kitchen, we added more windows to the previously dark, enclosed space. The ceiling beams are reclaimed wood beams from a mill building in the area and complement the custom walnut butcher block and rustic walnut glass wall cabinet. Another unique feature is the weathered, matte soapstone finish of the black granite on the countertops rather than the more typical polished effect.

Having lived in Annapolis, Maryland for the past thirteen years, it had always been a dream of Laura’s to one day, own a home in the historic district. For years, she would walk-by with her family of five, taking it all in. When the chance came for her and her husband to purchase their dream home years later, they jumped at the opportunity! A historic landmark, the Sands House has been a feature of Annapolis since the 17th century. Estimated to have been built sometime between 1654 and 1700, is thought to be the oldest frame houses in the Chesapeake region. As with any historic home, this one required a lot of work. Laura admits that, “there were many times throughout the renovation process where I looked back and thought, ‘oh, did we make a mistake?’” But the Smith’s hard work and persistence paid off when months after signing the lease, they were home

The attic renovation of this First Period Ipswich, Massachusetts home (c. 1668) was inspired by English vernacular cottages of the Cotswolds. The clients wanted an additional bedroom and office space in their unused attic, while maintaining the authentic first period style of the rest of the house. This meant keeping the original roofline and low ceilings, giving the space a cozy feel. Structurally, the space needed some timber frame repair, and the original timbers were left exposed with white plaster for the Medieval English interior style. Cummings Architects paid close attention to utilizing the low ceiling height at the perimeter of the space and designed built-in storage that the clients’ previously lacked. A cozy reading nook and details like the interior window above the stairway, looking into the bedroom, changed the useless, dark attic into an intimate, personal space. Photo by Eric Roth

The backyard of this house was a no-man’s land when the owners moved in. With little more than a few established trees and a big, noisy air-conditioning unit, the yard was an almost open canvas bordering the Los Padres National Forest in a high-fire zone. We installed a large infiltration swale to capture as much rainfall as possible from the house rain gutters, so the water can be stored in the soil where plants can access it, reducing the amount of irrigation this landscape needs. Plantings obscure the air-conditioning unit, and a water feature was installed so the sound of trickling water would drown-out its sound. The plants we chose are drought tolerant and attractive to native birds and insects. We paid special attention to the plantings nearest to the house, keeping them fairly low growing as to not create a fire ladder beneath the eves. The plants also hold a good deal of moisture in their stems and leaves and are easily kept free of desiccated material, making them fire-wise plants that can actually reduce the chances of the property burning in the event of a nearby wildfire.
