The design of the Sheraton Field Bed was introduced towards the end of the 18th Century, is largely attributed to Thomas Sheraton and George Hepplewhite, two English craftsmen who published pattern books during the second half of the 18th Century. Their books, which made their way to colonial America, acted as design references for the many cabinetmakers throughout New England and beyond. The Eldred Wheeler Sheraton Field Bed was designed by Thomas Sheraton as a “portable bed” which could easily be set up or taken apart. Each post is hand turned starting with a solid block of wood over 3” square. The bed pictured features a Connecticut River Valley Headboard and a bow canopy.

My clients were'early pioneers in a low-density 1940's working class neighborhood that quickly transitioned to its current status as an up-scale higher-density enclave of [cool] townhouses close to downtown. The resulting, much-published, AIA state and local award-winning design assumes an industrial flavor in direct response to the materials and ambience the clients wanted: a light-filled, open-plan living space with exposed wood structure, pine 2x sub-flooring, exposed ductwork and conduit, metal and stucco exterior siding, finished concrete floors on floor 1 and metal sash windows all around. To this day, the clients describe their belovedly unique house as the well-designed and well-cared-for caretaker of their lives Paul Hester, Photographer

Douglas VanderHorn Architects From grand estates, to exquisite country homes, to whole house renovations, the quality and attention to detail of a "Significant Homes" custom home is immediately apparent.

After exploring Europe in a VW bus-turned-mobile-office, Danish designer Verner Panton launched his independent (and stationary) architecture and design studio in 1955. The boldly geometric forms of his debut encouraged a proliferation of furnishing and lighting designs. Panton’s love of intense color and compelling patterns also defined his extensive line of textiles. He is perhaps best known for his gesamtkunstwerk interiors where furniture, lighting, textiles, and wall decorations were designed as a comprehensive whole. Examples include the Cologne Furniture Fair (1968 and 1970) and the Spiegel publishing headquarters in Hamburg (1969). Panton's collaboration with Vitra produced his best-known design, the Panton Chair, introduced in 1967. The chair was Vitra’s first independently developed design and is included in the Museum of Modern Art’s collection, along with three other examples of Panton’s work.

After generations of expansion and use, this delightful house contained many eclectic additions, and rethinking the house’s proportions and floor plan was necessary to make it livable. To shape the interior design, Elizabeth Brosnan Hourihan keyed overall details to fine English antique furnishings. Although Elizabeth sought antiques of the highest quality, she kept to a twenty-first century vision. The house remains airy, uncluttered, and open to ocean views. Elizabeth, the clients say, “helped us create a special home that suits our needs perfectly, yet honors the home’s ancestry.” The house was published in New England Home Magazine and featured on the HGTV show New England Dream House.

WKD’s design specialty in quality historic preservation ensured that the integrity of this home’s interior and exterior architecture was kept intact. The design mission was to preserve, restore and renovate the home in a manner that celebrated its heritage, while recognizing and accommodating today’s lifestyle and technology. Drawing from the home’s original details, WKD re-designed a friendly entry (including the exterior landscape approach) and kitchen area, integrating it into the existing hearth room. We also created a new stair to the second floor, eliminating the small, steep winding stair. New colors, wallpaper, furnishings and lighting make for a family friendly, welcoming home. The project has been published several times.
