This project was completed for a client who recently moved from a California mansion to a Georgia penthouse in order to be closer to family. It was a huge down size so it was important for our design team to help obtain that same grand appeal that the client was accustomed to, within a significantly smaller home. We created an open space plan that would allow for entertaining many guests at once. With proper scale in consideration, we chose to use large furniture that would make up the living room and dining space to reinforce that grand effect. Lending to this concept we hung drapery higher than the window frames and a bold ceiling fixture in order to compliment the height of the ceiling. Along with these accommodations we utilized the clients existing collection of eclectic wall art to fill the bare walls. In the end we were able to create a space that did not feel foreign to our client, but rather like home.

This client came to us wanting some help with updating the master bath in their home. Their primary goals were to increase the size of the shower, add a rain head, add a freestanding tub and overall freshen the feel of the space.
The existing layout of the bath worked well, so we left the basic footprint the same, but increased the size of the shower and added a freestanding tub on a bit of an angle which allowed for some additional storage.
One of the most important things on the wish list was adding a rainhead in the shower, but this was not an easy task with the angled ceiling. We came up with the solution of using an extra long wall-mounted shower arm that was reinforced with a meal bracket attached the ceiling. This did the trick, and no extra framing or insulation was required to make it work.
The materials selected for the space are classic and fresh. Large format white oriental marble is used throughout the bath, on the floor in a herrinbone pattern and in a staggered brick pattern on the walls. Alder cabinets with a gray stain contrast nicely with the white marble, while shiplap detail helps unify the space and gives it a casual and cozy vibe. Storage solutions include an area for towels and other necessities at the foot of the tub, roll out shelves and out storage in the vanities and a custom niche and shaving ledge in the shower. We love how just a few simple changes can make such a great impact!

The island’s blue finish is repeated across selected base drawers and a custom glass-front display cabinet, carrying color throughout the kitchen and creating a cohesive relationship between the different zones. Curved cabinet doors soften the surrounding linear millwork, while the patterned Roman shade reinforces the blue palette. A white scallop-tile backsplash adds subtle texture around the window-centered sink without competing with the cabinetry.

t may be hard to tell from the photos but this custom round dining table is huge! We created this for our client to be 8.5 feet in diameter. The lazy Susan that sits on top of it is actually 5 feet in diameter. But in the space, it was absolutely perfect.
The groove around the perimeter is a subtle but nice detail that draws your eye in. The base is reinforced with floating mortise and tenon joinery and the underside of the table is laced with large steel c channels to keep the large table top flat over time.
The dark and rich finish goes beautifully with the classic paneled bright interior of the home.
This dining table was hand made in San Diego, California.

The recessed entry creates a calm, gallery-like arrival, where clean lines, natural textures, and expansive glazing frame a direct view to the ocean beyond. A minimalist palette of stone, wood, and steel reinforces the home's contemporary character while emphasizing light, openness, and connection to the landscape.

Custom build stairway up to back door of house.
This customer had a raised wooden deck (as shown in pictures below) and wanted something much closer to ground level. This presented a unique issue, as their back door was elevated high above the bottom concrete grade. We solved this by installing a VERY reinforced stair platform. A notable feature in this project is the way we integrated the firepit into the retaining/seat wall.

Often times, the smallest of spaces prove to be the largest design challenge. Clients desire functional spaces which exude the lush, organic beauty they glimpse at spaces which tend to garner more of the press attention, which usually suggests they are greater in scale. In order for form and function to be joined in spiritual union, we can look to the context of the space in order to garner inspiration.
Introducing curved containers into the garden not only minimizes the angular impact of the space and its surrounding vertical neighbors, but borrows from the ebb and flow of the river passing by to the west. The containers vary in height so as to provide an accented and unimpeded view from the inside to the outside. The lush plantings reflect some of the leafy residents of nearby Riverside Park as well as reinforcing the movement of the Hudson as the grasses sway in the breezes high above the street.

These tufted velour sofa and loveseat are available in either deep blue (pictured) or a royal purple. We also offer a matching chair to make a three-piece set. The round coffee table features aluminum construction with a tempered glass tabletop. Also pictured is our black entertainment center, which also has tempered glass front and top. This entertainment center features blue LED lights which can be turned on or off with a simple touch.

When this family of seven could not find an historic property to fit their modern needs, they decided to build a 6,000 square foot house in Acton, reminiscent of an 1800’s farmhouse which expanded over time. Recycled and new timber framing support the garage and family room. The use of salvaged barn boards and a custom built antique fireplace enforce the historic image. At the front of the house is a formal living room and a music room. Near bye is an open kitchen/dining area that conveniently connects to the front porch, back patio, mudroom and barn garage. Easy access to outside, level changes, ample natural daylight, large open family gathering areas and quiet study nooks modernize the farm house concept and enhance the family’s life style. The use of metal and shingle roofing, clapboards and shingles and stone add variety and reinforces the feel of multiple additions.

Using design expertise, proper engineering and modern building practices, Elite Landscaping transformed an outdated, crumbling concrete pool and landscape into a fresh, award-winning masterpiece. Highlights of this outdoor living space and pool renovation include: Repaving the entire pool deck with travertine. Adding a 13-person year-round spa. Building a pool house with 20’ open cedar-beam ceilings over the men’s and women's changing rooms. Expanding and reinforcing an outdoor deck, finishing the under-deck ceiling and building a full-service, outdoor bar beneath it. Additionally, the Elite team designed a multi-level patio with sunken fire pit, flanked by natural boulders and flagstone paths. The pièce de résistance, however, is the custom-concrete waterfall and grotto, with natural interior skylights and customized water features.
