Linear planting plus balanced asymmetrical hardscape keep this entry interesting. Evergreen foundation plants ensure it looks good here, in the beginning of winter - but there are enough deciduous plants for seasonal change. photo Mike Heacox / Luciole Design

The media room is located on main floor, but can be enclosed by closing the stained retractable doors.

Take a look at this large, bright and airy screened porch in Macon GA. Craftsmansmanship is in every detail. The ceiling is a vaulted ceiling with open rafters for a rustic authenticity. The header boards are finished drawing the eye up and making the height of the porch even more expansive. The pressure-treated wood flooring is laid in a diagonal for a custom touch. Slender profile dark railing pickets are used to ensure the best and most uninterrupted view of the backyard.

Morgante Wilson integrated the screen porch into the interior of the house through the living room. The two rooms are separated by a retractable Nana Wall There are individual screens that can come down between the concrete columns to filter unwanted elements of nature. The furniture was selected to compliment the surrounding furniture in the living room & dining room. The sofa is from Janus Et Cie, the chairs are a Knoll design with a concrete coffee table and porcelain glazed side table.

Centered on six full-sized city lots in the heart of Portland’s Irvington neighborhood, this historic estate badly needed a new kitchen and a reconceived connection to the spacious grounds at the rear of the home. The owner’s impeccable design sense was a perfect match for Emerick Architects’ skill and space planning. The craftsmen at Hammer & Hand brought their vision to life with wood, stone, cabinetry, and paint in the sun room, master suite, great room, and kitchen remodels. Extensive casework detailed to exactly match the complicated profiles of the existing house makes the addition a truly seamless remodel.

Inspired by the laid-back California lifestyle, the Baylin’s many windows fill the house upstairs and down with a welcoming light that lends it a casual-contemporary feel. Of course, there’s nothing casual about the detailed craftsmanship or state-of-the-art technologies and appliances that make this a Cannon classic. A customized one-floor option is available.

The Watermill House is a beautiful example of a classic Hamptons wood shingle style home. The design and renovation would maintain the character of the exterior while transforming the interiors to create an open and airy getaway for a busy and active family. The house comfortably sits within its one acre lot surrounded by tall hedges, old growth trees, and beautiful hydrangeas. The landscape influenced the design approach of the main floor interiors. Walls were removed and the kitchen was relocated to the front of the house to create an open plan for better flow and views to both the front and rear yards. The kitchen was designed to be both practical and beautiful. The u-shape design features modern appliances, white cabinetry and Corian countertops, and is anchored by a beautiful island with a knife-edge marble countertop. The island and the dining room table create a strong axis to the living room at the rear of the house. To further strengthen the connection to the outdoor decks and pool area of the rear yard, a full height sliding glass window system was installed. The clean lines and modern profiles of the window frames create unobstructed views and virtually remove the barrier between the interior and exterior spaces. The open plan allowed a new sitting area to be created between the dining room and stair. A screen, comprised of vertical fins, allows for a degree of openness, while creating enough separation to make the sitting area feel comfortable and nestled in its own area. The stair at the entry of the house was redesigned to match the new elegant and sophisticated spaces connected to it. New treads were installed to articulate and contrast the soft palette of finishes of the floors, walls, and ceilings. The new metal and glass handrail was intended to reduce visual noise and create subtle reflections of light. Photo by Guillaume Gaudet

This house, designed by Eric Rawlings, AIA, LEED AP and built by Arlene Dean, illustrates the flexibility of the Prairie Style by emphasizing the Japanese influences. Elements like the Torii Gate framing the circular front door and the Shoji Screens that separate the Dining Room and Play Room from the Great Room inside show the compatibility of traditional Japanese Architecture and the Arts and Crafts movement that both influenced the creation of the Prairie Style in the mid 1890s.

The Midnight Dome - A modern black box home theater designed for a truly cinematic experience at home. We transformed this space into an immersive luxury cinema with a minimalist approach. The envelope is wrapped in deep matte charcoal to eliminate light reflection and maximize contrast for the oversized BenQ 4K projection screen. The architectural star is the custom oversized dome ceiling with hidden warm white cove lighting that creates a soft, floating halo effect. To balance the dark walls, we layered in a light, textural cut-pile carpet for acoustic softening and visual contrast. Seating is a custom oversized low-profile modular pit sectional in a dark taupe performance velvet, designed for lounging and large family movie nights. A single modern linear wall sconce and dimmable recessed downlights provide layered, theater-appropriate lighting without competing with the screen. Minimalist, moody, and completely immersive - proof that a home theater can be both high-performance and beautifully designed. Features: Custom coved dome ceiling, hidden LED lighting, blackout paint package, large format projector setup, custom pit sectional layout, acoustic-friendly finishes, integrated smart lighting.
