The visual experience from inside the kitchen. We widened and raised the opening between the kitchen and dining areas to strengthen their connection, maximize daylight, and celebrate this view of the treetops, sky, and hills beyond.

Large sliding glass doors open to a private porch and beautifully landscaped backyard, strengthening the connection between indoor and outdoor living. The resident affectionately refers to it as her “cozy cottage.”

Around the fireplace the existing slate tiles were matched and brought full height to simplify and strengthen the overall fireplace design, and a seven-foot live-edged log of Sycamore was milled, polished and mounted on the slate to create a stunning fireplace mantle and help frame the new art niche created above. searanchimages.com

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

An outdoor dining and lounge space anchored by a modern cantilevered pergola creates a comfortable space for everyday meals and special occasions. The clean, contemporary design complements the home’s architecture while providing protection from the sun. This space strengthens the connection between indoor and outdoor living and supports year-round use.

We started this floors transformation by counter-sinking nails, filling the nail holes and spaces between the boards to reduce squeeks and strengthen the floor before we sanded it down. We created a custom colour for our clients and they were so happy with it. We finished it off with 3 coats of semi-gloss and our clients couldn't be happier.
