Situated on over 100 acres in the Piedmont region of Virginia, the home was oriented to maximize solar gain during the cold, winter months and wide overhangs were designed for the south side of the house to block the high sun in the summer. In addition, strategically placed fins provide shade while not obstructing the breathtaking views of the countryside.

Example of a mid-sized ornate enclosed medium tone wood floor and brown floor living room library design in New York with red walls

This is the Catio designed for my clients 5 adopted kitties with issues. She came to me to install a vestibule between her garage and the family room which were not connected. I designed that area and when she also wanted to take the room she was currently using as the littler box room into a library I came up with using the extra space next to the new vestibule for the cats. The living room contains a custom tree with 5 cat beds, a chair for people to sit in and the sofa tunnel I designed for them to crawl through and hide in. I designed steps that they can use to climb up to the wooden bridge so they can look at the birds eye to eye out in the garden. My client is an artist and painted portraits of the cats that are on the walls. We installed a door with a frosted window and a hole cut in the bottom which leads into another room which is strictly the litter room. we have lots of storage and two Litter Robots that are enough to take care of all their needs. I installed a functional transom window that she can keep open for fresh air. We also installed a mini split air conditioner if they are in there when it is hot. They all seem to love it! They live in the rest of the house and this room is only used if the client is entertaining so she doesn't have to worry about them getting out. It is attached to the family room which is shown here in the foreground, so they can keep an eye on us while we keep an eye on them.

A new garage was built with improved, integrated landscaping to connect to the house and retain a beautiful backyard. The two-car garage is larger than the one it replaces and positioned strategically for better backing up and maneuvering. It stylistically coordinates with the house and provides 290 square feet of attic storage. Stone paving connects the drive, path, and outdoor patio which is off of the home’s sun room. Low stone walls and pavers are used to define areas of plantings and yard.

The kitchen sink was moved from the original peninsula to the island. Featuring black and white cabinets and black and white counters the overall shade palette is as striking as it is unifying. The sub zero refrigerator has been integrated in a unique Armoir cabinet the positioning in the middle of a cabinet run is strategic to drawing attention.

A cozy balcony garden on a second floor apartment. A new living space created for all members of the family-including a 15 month old.

The light filled space has large windows and four doors, but works well in the strategically configured floor plan. Generous wall trim, exquisite light fixtures and modern stools create a warm ambiance. In the words of the homeowner, “it is beyond our dreams”.
