The main purpose of this stone wall was to reconcile the tapography of the yard. In addition, it also helps to define the pool area from the dining space and provides additional casual seating as well.

The focal point of the backyard is the 16’ x 30’ custom free form vinyl pool which is beautifully defined by an elevated curving ledgerock wall. The wall is at the perfect height for the three 36” sheer descent waterfalls and helps to reconcile the levels of the gently sloping lot. Having the trees and shrubs planted at this higher level also helps to enhance privacy.

To help reconcile the drop in height from the home’s great room walkout to the pool level, an elevated cedar deck was built to accommodate an outdoor dining table for eight, an outdoor barbecue station plus comfy lounge chairs and spa. The steps down to the pool level have a safety railing with see through glass panels.

This water feature is beautifully highlighted by the pool’s elevated curving ledgerock wall. The wall is at the perfect height for the three 36” sheer descent waterfalls and helps to reconcile the levels of the gently sloping lot. Another highlight is the elevated circular spa, which features a notched trough with spill wall that serves as an additional water feature.

Everyone deserves to end the day in a comfortable, tranquil home. And for those with children, it can seem impossible to reconcile the challenges of family life with the need to have a well-designed space. Our client—a financial executive and her family of four—had not considered a design makeover since moving into their apartment, which was more than ten years ago. So when she reached out to Decor Aid, she asked us to modernize and brighten her home, in addition to creating a space for her family to hang out and relax. The apartment originally featured sunflower-yellow walls and a set of brown suede living room furniture, all of which significantly darkened the space. The living room also did not have sufficient seating options, so the client was improvising seating arrangements when guests would come over. With no outward facing windows, the living room received little natural light, and so we began the redesign by painting the walls a classic grey, and adding white crown molding. As a pathway from the front door to the kitchen, the living room functions as a high-traffic area of the home. So we sourced a geometric indoor-outdoor area rug, and established a layout that’s easy to walk through. We also sourced a coffee table from Serena & Lily. Our client has teenage twins, and so we sourced a sturdy sectional couch from Restoration Hardware, and placed it in a corner which was previously being underused. We hired an electrician to hide all of the cables leading to the media console, and added custom window treatments. In the kitchen, we painted the cabinets a semi-gloss white, and added slate flooring, for a clean, crisp, modern look to match the living room. The finishing touches included a set of geometric table objects, comfortable throw rugs, and plush high-shine pillows. The final result is a fully functional living room for this family of four.

To integrate the pool area with the back of the home the level of the pool, deck and cabana are higher than the surrounding terrain. Thus, Betz did a landscape design to reconcile the drop with a series of steps plus an armour stone retaining wall to maintain the views from the basement windows.

Our client cam to us with a gently sloping property in Baldwin Borough, on which they wanted to build a new ranch style home. During the Schematic Design Phase, we developed schemes showing different styles for the exterior. Of the European style chalet, modern farmhouse, and craftsman exteriors, the client gravitated toward the craftsman. While working through the design, we also needed to reconcile the Owner’s desire to have the house face the street, yet not look too imposing sitting on top of the hill with high roof lines, and vaulted game room. Ultimately, by rotating a portion of the plan 30 degrees, we were able to hug the contours of the site, and break the facade down into smaller vignettes. These vignettes led to a more properly scaled and pleasing result through slight variations of the wall composition .

A primary bath that makes no effort to reconcile its influences — and is better for it. A hand-finished copper clawfoot slipper tub occupies the center of the room on a geometric patterned floor tile in white and slate gray. A traditional black raised-panel double vanity with a matte black stone countertop faces brass-framed arched mirrors flanked by brass globe sconces, with wall-mount chrome cross-handle fixtures providing a deliberate material contrast. A dark glass shower enclosure set within an arched opening closes the room without enclosing it. The result is layered and characterful — Victorian Revival in mood, contemporary in restraint.
