Nurseries are inherently dreamy spaces—imaginative and full of anticipation—but it can be tricky to balance the playful pieces with all the practical stuff. Never ones to shy away from a design challenge, we leapt at the chance to create a stylish, clever, and übercomfortable nursery for supermodel Coco Rocha’s first child, daughter Ioni, who arrived on March 28. Getting down to business (there’s nothing like having a due date for a deadline!), our design wiz Alex Reid set about designing a nursery that felt right at home among the Pop art, modern collector’s pieces, and striking black-and-white contrasts that fill the rest of the cottage Coco shares with her husband, artist James Conran, just outside New York City. Along the way, he solved the design dilemma of creating a nursery that’s both functional and chic, and the finished space is perfectly suited to its sweet occupant, who has no doubt been bequeathed her mom’s style gene.

This project was exceedingly challenging because of several factors. For starters, the lot itself, and all access points, were very small and cramped, requiring close management of in and out with equipment, materials, etc. Next it was also challenging because our customer wanted a very clean, classy look with many extras and details but also had only a very modest budget to work with. Finally, however, the greatest challenge was that over 80% of the space dedicated for the pool was only air. The customer literally wanted the pool situated over a cliff. Indeed, they even had another person from a different pool company tell them this couldnt be done in this part of the country; People only do this stuff in California! To overcome these obstacles, we made three very important decisions. We worked with a local engineer to design a poured-concrete wall system that would be both secure and able to become a portion of the pool wall; this then allowed us to put the wall right at the lot set-back line, which maximized every bit of available space. Next we chose to construct the remainder of the pool walls, steps, bench seat and tanning ledge with steel, and finish with a vinyl liner, in order to reduce overall costs and stay within their budget. Finally, a vanishing edge would have been ideal for this site, but again spatial and budget constraints made this a non-option. However, to try to create a strong focal point at the far corner of the pool we dropped the wall (tricky with vinyl!) and used glass block (with a Bright-white sanded grout joint) as coping material. The fountain at the end of the pool was custom-built on site with Basalt stone from the state of Washington and is completely self-contained. The fire feature on the far side completed the work of leading ones eye truly off into the sunset. Our customers were quite pleased with the result. They were able to accomplish practically everything they had wanted to do from the beginning, they were able to stay within their budget, and they were able to do all this right here in the hills of Pennsylvania.
