Life's A Beach... Along the Eastern Shore of Massachusetts lies an unexpected beauty. Great Neck, Ipswich, Massachusetts, once pasture for the town’s sheep and cattle, remains a New England secret, a hidden jewel, an oasis for wildlife and beach lovers. The homeowners, long-time Ipswich residents and avid boaters, left their previous Ipswich address, longing for the Great Neck lifestyle, for the fresh salt air, the birds, the beaches and the ocean breeze; NOT for the dark, cramped kitchen that came with this house purchase. Windhill Builders was called in immediately and 3 months later, Voila’! The crisp white kitchen with clean lines, immaculate finishes and dreamy white marble were exactly what the homeowners dreamed of. The custom wine cooler & bar area, barn door and coordinating white mudroom perfected the flow for the homeowners. They love their new coastal cottage! Photo by Eric Roth

A vintage and dandy-inspired style with an aged appeal. This is a modern and unusual version of the type of mustache worn in London in the 19th century by distinct, elegant and intellectual gentlemen. The ‘handlebar’ moustache was attributed to the typical London dandies and distinguished their physical appearance. Moustaches nowadays are a symbol of modern dandies in all the major cities of the world and thanks to Progetti cuckoo clocks, they can now be hang to the wall or be put on a desk or on a shelf giving an elegant and ironic touch to any room. Made of wood, Dandy cuckoo is available in two colors, classic black or white. The Cuckoo strike is switched off automatically during the night controlled by a light sensor.

Outdoor rooms typically include a dining area and lounging space for family members and guests. That means formal seating space – and informal lounge space. Both types of seating can be built-in or free-standing. Built-in benches can maximize the available relaxing space around the perimeter of the room. They can also add much-needed storage space for garden tools, cushions and other outdoor necessities. In our Minnesota climate, a fire pit or fireplace can extend the use of your outdoor room farther into spring and fall – making it a truly “three-season” space.

This custom primary bathroom vanity pairs rich walnut millwork with a striking vein-cut travertine countertop and integrated sink, creating a warm and refined focal point. Open shelving provides functional storage while adding depth and display space, and the backlit mirror enhances the spa-like atmosphere. Black fixtures and a steel-framed shower enclosure introduce subtle industrial detailing that complements the home's contemporary material palette.

When thinking about a metal roof, all that usually comes to mind are the roofs seen on barns and commercial buildings. Those types of metal roofs typically have panels that run vertically up the roof. These types of metal panel roofs are called “Standing Seam” because their prominent visual feature is the raised interlocking seam which joins one panel to the next. Often called “commercial roofing,” or “agricultural panel roofing,” or even “barn roofing,” these products do provide the great protection and durability for which metal is known. Standing Seam Roofing provides the look of the products that you see everywhere on restaurants and farm outbuildings.

This small wine cellar was actually a closet conversion in the Client's kitchen area. An exterior grade door was installed, room insulated and vapour barriered, cooling unit installed through the wall and then racking put in to house bottles. This was a much preferable option for storing wine than using a typical off-the-shelf built-in wine fridge.
