Location, location, location! Isn’t that what all of our real-estate friends and colleagues are always telling us? Our clients made a wise choice when purchasing this beautifully located ocean front property nestled in the dunes of Palm Beach, but they were presented with a challenge: how to take this luxury townhouse from dark and dated to a chic easy breezy dream home that reflects is naturally gorgeous sun and sand dunes surroundings as well as our clients laid back personalities. Built in 1981, this dream home’s post-modern style with dark wood architectural features, cold concrete structure, and harsh lighting felt out of step by todays standards. Our solution: open the staircase and switch out the wood paneled banister for clear glass, exposing its grand design and allowing for amazing and unobscured views of the property’s outdoor spaces as well as the home’s common areas, permitting its large loft space to shine. Bedrooms were treated to neutral color-schemes inspired by the Palm Beach dunes that surround this oceanfront home. An impressive pallet of textures and materials were chosen, and juxtapositions of lux linens and natural textiles like grass wall coverings and a large arrangement of sculptural branches brings the outside, in. Big and bold custom metal sculptures were installed in the primary bedroom along with hand blown glass light fixtures, adding that touch of glam that we are known for. The private courtyard revamp is above and beyond anything you will see in Palm Beach. Playful and luxurious, it features a koi pond, a two story art installation and a dramatic custom stone waterfall. Its seating area makes great use of this homes original design by softening the heavy overhang with ceiling coverings in Peaky Cyprus and covering the walls with grass, creating a very cool and cozy space to relax and unwind. The entire courtyard is expertly illuminated by artistic lighting that makes every corner a sparkling treat for the eyes. We had fun with this ambitious project and we hope your takeaway is to let location be your guide when looking for your dream home, because anything is possible in design but great surroundings are rare treasures that must be found and cherished.

A new modern house in a sustainable community - Dallas, TX. Specht Harpman designed this 1,800 sf house, which stretches across a steep ravine, to make the most of its spectacular views and connections to the community. With green architecture as a guiding principle, this house serves as an index of both sustainability and affordability. The large social and gathering space takes advantage of the long views to the west, while the smaller private spaces are clustered toward the street. Sustainable features include geothermal heating and cooling, green materials throughout, and low-water native landscape design.

I immediately focused on the void that was between the two houses and created a timber "temple" that would tie the scale together and create a very warm inviting outdoor space while also creating a covered walk between the two houses. The left cabin was one of the earliest houses after Lake Guntersville was built, and in it's earliest days was simply a fishing and hunting lodge. The house to the right also had a small cabin inside it, but had been enlarged 4 different times, the latest being in a post-modern 1980's style. The owners desired an adirondack look in the final product with the old cabin keeping it's original interiors, but we opened it up by removing inner partitions, the right side house we enclosed the screened porch and installed a more up to date transitional/cottage interior made for entertaining.

A complete remodel of a 70s-era home re-imagines its original post-modern architecture. The new design emphasizes details such as a phoenix motif (significant to the family) that appears on a fountain as well as at the living room fireplace surround, both designed by the firm. Mahogany paneling, stone and walnut flooring, elaborate ceiling treatments, steel picture windows that frame panoramic views, and carved limestone window surrounds contribute new texture and character.
