A perfect match that looks like it has always been there. A successful project is one that looks like it belongs, where you can't tell where the renovation begins and ends.

After - all of these plantings need time to establish roots and grow into their new space. The front of this lovely home has been revealed and complemented by the plantings. All plantings are low-maintenance and hardy to Zone 4. A succession of blooms will occur throughout the growing season, providing ongoing curb appeal.

Lake Homes | Living area: 1,986 . . . This cozy lake cottage successfully packs many features into less than 2,000 square feet. The Kitchen with bar seating joins with the high ceiling Family Room where lake views pour in through the wall of windows. A large Bonus Room over the Garage presents many possibilities to best suite the needs of the homeowners. A different perspective of the lake can be found from the sitting area in the Loft or near the stone fireplace on the Covered Porch where 'lake season' is stretched out just a little while longer.

Including wallpaper in a modern interior design project can be a success, especially if the interior changes are recurrent. This can be the example of a house whose owner likes to make several changes of environment in a short time; although we can also refer to commercial premises, such as a clothing store where the decoration is changed with each season.

Tom Holdsworth Photography Our clients wanted to create a room that would bring them closer to the outdoors; a room filled with natural lighting; and a venue to spotlight a modern fireplace. Early in the design process, our clients wanted to replace their existing, outdated, and rundown screen porch, but instead decided to build an all-season sun room. The space was intended as a quiet place to read, relax, and enjoy the view. The sunroom addition extends from the existing house and is nestled into its heavily wooded surroundings. The roof of the new structure reaches toward the sky, enabling additional light and views. The floor-to-ceiling magnum double-hung windows with transoms, occupy the rear and side-walls. The original brick, on the fourth wall remains exposed; and provides a perfect complement to the French doors that open to the dining room and create an optimum configuration for cross-ventilation. To continue the design philosophy for this addition place seamlessly merged natural finishes from the interior to the exterior. The Brazilian black slate, on the sunroom floor, extends to the outdoor terrace; and the stained tongue and groove, installed on the ceiling, continues through to the exterior soffit. The room's main attraction is the suspended metal fireplace; an authentic wood-burning heat source. Its shape is a modern orb with a commanding presence. Positioned at the center of the room, toward the rear, the orb adds to the majestic interior-exterior experience. This is the client's third project with place architecture: design. Each endeavor has been a wonderful collaboration to successfully bring this 1960s ranch-house into twenty-first century living.

This cottage garden and perennial border needed to survive in an area with a heavy deer population. The client preferred a minimal electric fencing to a total enclosure so as to admire the successive blooms from her kitchen window. The hillside was terraced with low retaining walls of local stone and antique urns held seasonal accent plants. Most of the plants were deer resistant. Design, execution and photo - Susan Irving
