Or maybe you want to finish of your swimming pool with a hand carved stone art piece instead of that stacked, bricked or stuccoed wall that you currently have? What about that kitchen window that leads to your neighbor’s wall or catwalk? Well you guessed it if you were thinking about adding a unique water feature that will transform that dull space into a lush oasis of limestone, water and greenery... An antique water fountain will not only transform your backyard it will change your mood every time you look at it of walk pass by it...

An ordinary backyard in Park Slope was transformed by defining the space with a change of level, and the use of brick and bluestone to provide seating, eating and hammock areas. Romantic, soft plantings are designed for lushness and seasonal interest.

The kitchen cabinet design provided a top row of glass front lit cabinets which take on an added dimension lined with wood grained inspired wallpaper and white matte cactus. An above sink succulent arrangement in a wooden trough brings a simple touch of cool cactus tones that echo the outside view. The open framed contemporary lantern style of the island pendants selection offers structure to the airy space and enables viewing of the television mounted on the adjacent fireplace wall while preparing meals. Roughhewn ceiling beams were installed throughout the great room to add depth and context to the large space. The separate breakfast nook beams were installed perpendicular to the main beams to bring extra focus to the lovely setting under the vintage inspired chandelier. Photo Credit: Pam Singleton

Tucked away in the backwoods of Torch Lake, this home marries “rustic” with the sleek elegance of modern. The combination of wood, stone and metal textures embrace the charm of a classic farmhouse. Although this is not your average farmhouse. The home is outfitted with a high performing system that seamlessly works with the design and architecture. The tall ceilings and windows allow ample natural light into the main room. Spire Integrated Systems installed Lutron QS Wireless motorized shades paired with Hartmann & Forbes windowcovers to offer privacy and block harsh light. The custom 18′ windowcover’s woven natural fabric complements the organic esthetics of the room. The shades are artfully concealed in the millwork when not in use. Spire installed B&W in-ceiling speakers and Sonance invisible in-wall speakers to deliver ambient music that emanates throughout the space with no visual footprint. Spire also installed a Sonance Landscape Audio System so the homeowner can enjoy music outside. Each system is easily controlled using Savant. Spire personalized the settings to the homeowner’s preference making controlling the home efficient and convenient.

The Singleton Residence in North Shore, MA showcases a refined exterior renovation that enhances both architectural character and curb appeal. Updated siding, clean-lined trim, and a cohesive neutral palette create a timeless transitional aesthetic. The home’s massing is balanced with thoughtfully designed rooflines and window placement, while the landscaped setting and sloped driveway approach highlight the property’s natural surroundings. The result is a polished, welcoming exterior that blends seamlessly with its environment while elevating the home’s overall presence.

The great room design utilized elements that resonated with the client's love of riding horse back as a child. Using contemporary equestrian art and décor items coupled with leather goods and hides, this concept was fulfilled with a light touch that fit within the overall desert color palette of warm neutrals and earthy charcoals. To set off the large scale cactus wall art, contemporary white/ grey lamps and the nearly black console table frame the space letting the art echo the story of the homes’ setting. Two wing backed chairs upholstered in a tribal inspired print bring visual interest to the furniture grouping with their off-white background. Anchored with a leather over sized coffee table, the sitting area also benefits from a shag area rug layered over a larger wool sisal area rug for depth and comfort. Pam Singleton Photo Credit
