After completing the design of their NYC pied-à-terre and leading a nine-month renovation of their 6,500-square-foot Westchester estate, these long-time clients once again invited our NYC interior design studio to reimagine their vacation home in the Colorado mountains. This three-story, five-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence, originally built in 2008, was ready for a full renovation that would reflect their lifestyle, elevate its design, and enhance its functionality for year-round enjoyment.

The client’s request was quite common - a typical 2800 sf builder home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living space, and den. However, their desire was for this to be “anything but common.” The result is an innovative update on the production home for the modern era, and serves as a direct counterpoint to the neighborhood and its more conventional suburban housing stock, which focus views to the backyard and seeks to nullify the unique qualities and challenges of topography and the natural environment. The Terraced House cautiously steps down the site’s steep topography, resulting in a more nuanced approach to site development than cutting and filling that is so common in the builder homes of the area. The compact house opens up in very focused views that capture the natural wooded setting, while masking the sounds and views of the directly adjacent roadway. The main living spaces face this major roadway, effectively flipping the typical orientation of a suburban home, and the main entrance pulls visitors up to the second floor and halfway through the site, providing a sense of procession and privacy absent in the typical suburban home. Clad in a custom rain screen that reflects the wood of the surrounding landscape - while providing a glimpse into the interior tones that are used. The stepping “wood boxes” rest on a series of concrete walls that organize the site, retain the earth, and - in conjunction with the wood veneer panels - provide a subtle organic texture to the composition. The interior spaces wrap around an interior knuckle that houses public zones and vertical circulation - allowing more private spaces to exist at the edges of the building. The windows get larger and more frequent as they ascend the building, culminating in the upstairs bedrooms that occupy the site like a tree house - giving views in all directions. The Terraced House imports urban qualities to the suburban neighborhood and seeks to elevate the typical approach to production home construction, while being more in tune with modern family living patterns.

After completing an interior remodel for this mid-century home in the South Salem hills, we revived the old, rundown backyard and transformed it into an outdoor living room that reflects the openness of the new interior living space. We tied the outside and inside together to create a cohesive connection between the two. The yard was spread out with multiple elevations and tiers, which we used to create “outdoor rooms” with separate seating, eating and gardening areas that flowed seamlessly from one to another. We installed a fire pit in the seating area; built-in pizza oven, wok and bar-b-que in the outdoor kitchen; and a soaking tub on the lower deck. The concrete dining table doubled as a ping-pong table and required a boom truck to lift the pieces over the house and into the backyard. The result is an outdoor sanctuary the homeowners can effortlessly enjoy year-round.

Apex | Super Matte | Haze Maestro | Super Matte | Black In contemporary design, unique finishes can elevate a design from "nice" to "wow!" The velvety-smooth texture and nearly complete lack of reflections definitely puts Super Mattes into this category. Here, a combination of light grey and black Super Mattes contrasts with high-gloss materials used in other parts of the kitchen.

Our client felt that the space didn’t fully reflect the warm, cohesive look she envisioned. To elevate the room, we focused on refining the finishes and overall balance of the space. We started by updating the flooring to a rich mocha-toned hardwood to add warmth and depth, then adjusted key design elements including artwork placement and styling to create a more symmetrical and curated feel. By refining the palette and simplifying the details, we were able to transform the space into a more polished, inviting room that feels both timeless and comfortable.
