The Historic Home lies at the heart of Michael Carter’s passion for interior design. Well versed in the academics of period architecture and antiques, Carter continues to be called on to bring fresh and inspiring ideas to historic properties that are undergoing restoration or redecoration. It is never the goal to have these homes feel like museums. Instead, Carter & Company strives to blend the function of contemporary life with design ideas that are appropriate – they respect the past in a way that is stylish, timeless and elegant.

Il soggiorno-living si apre sulla grande terrazza parzialmente coperta che rapprenta l'appendice fondamentale dello spazio domestico ed il suo valore aggiunto. Un sistema di porte scorrevoli permette il passaggio tra questi ambiti dell'appartamento, dando vita ad un diaframma mobile e trasparente tra interno ed esterno . Essenziali gli elementi che arredano la scatola bianca del living e comprendono : un mobile madia sospeso - finitura laccato opaco - creato su disegno, per contenere ed alloggiare tutta la parte tecnologica legata alla funzione tv ed hi-fi. Un divano componibile che comprende un elemento chaise-longue, una serie di piccoli accessori incluso il tavolino in cristallo su ruote, icona del design italiano. Un sintetico accenno, per così dire esotico, ai colori e materiali di rivestimento, rimando alla passione per i viaggi dei proprietari, inclusa la "zebra" vintage usata come tappeto. Le luci sono anch'esse pensate come elementi presenti ma non sovrastanti e così risolte con una serie di applique a muro,con doppia emissione, più una serie di lampade da terra "Parentesi" che assolvono alla funzione lettura.Tutto a catalogo Flos.

This project represents the evolution of a 10 acre space over more than three decades. It began with the pool and space around it. As the vegetable garden grew, the orchard was established and the display gardens blossomed. The prairie was restored and a kitchen was added to complete the space. Although, it continues to change with a pond next on the design plan. Photo credit: Linda Oyama Bryan

An open floor plan between the Kitchen, Dining, and Living areas is thoughtfully divided by sliding barn doors, providing both visual and acoustic separation. The rear screened porch and grilling area located off the Kitchen become the focal point for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. Custom cabinetry and millwork throughout are a testament to the talents of the builder, with the project proving how design-build relationships between builder and architect can thrive given similar design mindsets and passions for the craft of homebuilding.
