A family of passionate athletes and sports aficionados embarked on a remarkable endeavor alongside our team and Studio M Merge. Their vision? To breathe new life into their outdated mid-century modern home and neglected pool, resulting in the dramatic “Sports Enthusiasts’ Hideaway.” The transformative journey focused on opening the interior spaces out toward the beautiful gardens and amenities. The renewed house features expanded open-plan living areas, a new bedroom, and a reimagined primary bath. An attached ADU added a sports bar and a flexible office space that can double as a private guest bedroom. The outdoor spaces were brought to life with the addition of expansive decks, inviting patios, a horseshoe pit, a basketball half-court, refreshing plunge pools, and a lush sports lawn. A pool house artfully frames the view from the pool to the neighboring golf course. This family of five finds themselves immersed in their expanded home and experiential outdoor hideaway. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to cater to their favorite activities, providing a peaceful haven where they can fully indulge their shared passion for sports.

This is an example of a traditional landscaping in Houston.

Our Windmill Ranches residence was designed for an amazing family with a true passion for art and design. Its delicate sloped roof volumes float above the site capturing the stunning views of the lake, while dramatic double height living areas maximize the relationship between the interiors and the exteriors. The master suite features its own private wing enjoying deep intimate views of the landscape, while a floor to ceiling glass bridge connects it to the rest of the home.

This New York City Rooftop was constructed to be an urban oasis for our clients. Plantings included some traditional elements with boxwood and a mix of more wild perennials and grasses. The rooftop skyline overlooks the new the World Trade Center Freedom Tower.

This six-bedroom home — all with en-suite bathrooms — is a brand new home on one of Lincoln Park's most desirable streets. The neo-Georgian, brick and limestone façade features well-crafted detailing both inside and out. The lower recreation level is expansive, with 9-foot ceilings throughout. The first floor houses elegant living and dining areas, as well as a large kitchen with attached great room, and the second floor holds an expansive master suite with a spa bath and vast walk-in closets. A grand, elliptical staircase ascends throughout the home, concluding in a sunlit penthouse providing access to an expansive roof deck and sweeping views of the city.. Nathan Kirkman

Our collection of fireplace mantels is the iconic benchmark for those with a passion for refinement. Each is meticulously hand crafted and made according to your taste, time, and custom size needs.

Large Experimental Abstract Art Piece Titled: "Out of Line" In a chic contemporary loft space with dark grey concrete walls is a large unique, abstract artwork titled, "Out of Line". The artwork is alive with fluid yet chaotic black lines that seem to be in motion. Blends and blurs of deep turquoise, vibrant orange, and seductive purple are mixed thought the piece. You might imagine this feeling as a 'clean messiness', or a ' luxe grunge style'. It's a eye-catching creative atmosphere for the multicultural urbanite. Art is mounted to an elegant, matte acrylic glass. Art arrives ready to hang. Similar styles are available at www.ryanovsienko.com Sizes available: 48x32, 60x40, 72x48 Quantity Available: Only one total International Shipping

Who says you can't have lounge chairs in the kitchen? This nook is where the kitchen table used to live. Since we built it on to the island and took up a large part of the space, it made for a perfect place to have a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine while waiting for dinner preparations. Now they can both be comfortable in the same space as they share their passion for cooking together. They've told me it's their favorite part of the whole kitchen!

The clients have a passion for cooking and entertaining large groups of family, friends and colleagues. Their outdoor patio had a small grilling center but it was woefully insufficient for their needs and located in the same space as their primary seating area. A 1,500-square-foot, Texas-sized outdoor living structure was designed. The space includes a full chef’s kitchen, luxury bar and lounge, alfresco dining and comfortable seating areas in front of the fireplace, along with a pool bath. The new structure is a seamless and a natural extension of the main house. Mission accomplished!

In an effort to stay true to her historic Westport, Connecticut home's roots during it's renovation, actress, entrepreneur and lifestyle blogger Eva Amurri committed to working with local brands with a passion for what is so special about the unique history and landscape of the northeast. Swenson Granite Works’ Newtown, Connecticut store supplied Amurri with WOODBURY GRAY® granite products from their New England-based quarries for the outdoor projects, and Warren Cartmel of Natural Designs, LLC did the installations. Leading to the new front entrance here are Woodbury Gray granite thermal pavers and entry steps.
