Jacob Lilley Architects Location: Lexington, MA, USA A new garage, kids play room above and a mudroom met the need for more space. A renovated kitchen, bedroom and other living spaces created a refreshed sense of home. The strategic location of the mudroom as an intermediary connector solved problems with this 19th-century home siting seven feet above the ground with limited access to the rear yard. The connector between the garage and existing house is a stair that unifies the various levels and develops a strong connection to the yard. Photographed by: Eric Roth

A new Dekton collection designed by Claudia Afshar Cosentino has collaborated with the renowned designer to create Ukiyo, a unique exploration of textures and geometric shapes for contemporary spaces. Ukiyo comes from Japanese and means ""living in the present moment, oblivious to life's problems"". By applying this concept to interior design and architecture, you can create spaces that promote serenity, contemplation and appreciation of the ephemeral beauty of everyday life, all in a visually appealing and functional environment. It has two patterns, each with different surface grooves and different thicknesses. Five colours are available: Bromo, Kreta, Nacre, Rem and Umber. Ukiyo is sensory experience, geometry and depth, and was born to bring a contemporary vision to interior design projects.

The floating custom bench seating solved the problem of having to remove the baseboard heet system. Keeping that in place was the best option and clean is easy with the floating set structure.

Office and laundry room combo.

Main entry was previously tight and weighted with low quality traditional moldings. Proximity of the first floor laundry/mudroom posed a visual problem right off the entryway. Custom railing and waterfall staircase was installed along with clever frosted sliding glass door to the mudroom to create lively architecture where none previously existed. Unique appointments feature a loop style boot bench and Italian leather ball coat-rack, both functional art pieces.

The backyard had persistent drainage issues, so Betz resolved the problem by adjusting the levels and slopes on all new surfaces. Another challenge was the overgrown hedge and shrubs which used up valuable space. They were removed from across the back and a portion of one side, then replaced with new fencing.

Haylieread was asked to take these two bathrooms stuck in the 1980s and transform them into a spa-like experience. HaylieRead said no problem! The use of neutral tiles with pops of texture added depth and created the tranquil vibe. All plumbing fixtures were updated with beautiful warm metals with customizable sprays. To finish it off HaylieRead used statement pieces throughout to create moments of interest and ease function.
