Lindsay saw the potential in a vintage rattan settee that was in poor condition. She cleaned and stained the frame, and topped it off with a custom Patio Lane cushion using Silver State Sunbrella fabric. Now it is a real beauty at home in her colorful and busy clay studio!

HMidcentury at Arcadia is an extensive remodel of a home we purchased in very poor condition in lower Arcadia on 53rd Street and Thomas Road. We completely transformed this house into a fantastic contemporary home while retaining the best of the midcentury modern character of the original building. Part of the remodel were major additions to the house including a master bedroom, a master bath, a walk-in closet, a laundry room, and pantry and a carport. Since the neighborhood is very family-oriented, we wanted the house to have four bedrooms to accommodate a growing family.

Part of the remodel were major additions to the house including a master bedroom, a master bath, a walk-in closet, a laundry room, and pantry and a carport. Since the neighborhood is very family-oriented, we wanted the house to have four bedrooms to accommodate a growing family. As with all of our projects, playing with light and shadows was a central focus of the design. We added a new carport not only as a convenience for the new residents, but as an architectural feature that adds visual interest to the front of the house. The carport with wood beams leads to a new front patio that is covered by a metal trellis. This trellis creates a wonderful changing pattern of shadows on the front of the house throughout the day. The front patio and trellis are decked out with LED lighting, which continues the play of light well after sundown. To add a contemporary and industrial look to the house, we sandblasted the front wall of the house to bring out the natural hues of the raw concrete block. We added a new exposed concrete block to the carport to visually tie it into the existing building. The original ceilings of the house were at 8 feet, but we vaulted the ceilings, creating a much more expansive space filled with daylight. A small detail that creates a big impact is a new corner window we added that gives great views of the grassy back yard and pool and at the same time gives the house a cutting-edge contemporary look.

The building was in poor condition and required a complete overhaul, as well as a new addition to house the commercial kitchen and dining room. The Looms’ design team of Liz Winship and Mary Beth Ferro were brought in early on in the process to work closely with the architects and contractors to collaborate in designing a space that would blend the historic integrity of the period building and the neighborhood with the practical, code-driven requirements of a multi-functional commercial space. The “look” was to be inspired by Nantucket’s unique land and seascape, while also feeling a little “on trend” and contemporary. The outdoor lighting here is by Hubbardton Forge of Vermont. It was chosen for its handmade look, innovative design and modern American blacksmith aesthetic. The door is the repainted original door to the building.

The goal of this project was to provide a lush and vast garden for the new owners of this recently remodeled brick Georgian. Located in Wheaton this acre plus property is surrounded by beautiful Oaks. Preserving the Oaks became a particular challenge with the ample front walk and generous entertaining spaces the client desired. Under most of the Oaks the turf was in very poor condition, and most of the property was covered with undesirable overgrown underbrush such as Garlic Mustard weed and Buckthorn. With a recently completed addition, the garages were pushed farther from the front door leaving a large distance between the drive and entry to the home. This prompted the addition of a secondary door off the kitchen. A meandering walk curves past the secondary entry and leads guests through the front garden to the main entry. Off the secondary door a “kitchen patio” complete with a custom gate and Green Mountain Boxwood hedge give the clients a quaint space to enjoy a morning cup of joe. Stepping stone pathways lead around the home and weave through multiple pocket gardens within the vast backyard. The paths extend deep into the property leading to individual and unique gardens with a variety of plantings that are tied together with rustic stonewalls and sinuous turf areas. Closer to the home a large paver patio opens up to the backyard gardens. New stoops were constructed and existing stoops were covered in bluestone and mortared stonewalls were added, complimenting the classic Georgian architecture. The completed project accomplished all the goals of creating a lush and vast garden that fit the remodeled home and lifestyle of its new owners. Through careful planning, all mature Oaks were preserved, undesirables removed and numerous new plantings along with detailed stonework helped to define the new landscape.
