Throughout the house the clients wanted a sleek elegant design to suit a large family providing spaces for cooking, eating, entertaining or children playing. The kitchen with the gold and black gives a stylish look with beautiful appliances to match.
The pantry, cloakroom, utility and passover kitchen provide unique yet glorious pockets throughout the house. The extras such as the pillar, seat, vanity sinks, glass shelving and drinks cabinet brings parts of the house together matching the colours and fillings spaces the beautiful bespoke pieces.
The Corian bisque spiral staircase through the middle of the house gives a grand welcome, this being the main feature of the house. Each hand crafted tread was made in our factory and carefully installed by our insulation team.

Sunspace Design, Inc.
Located in a beautiful spot within Wellesley, Massachusetts, Sunspace Design played a key role in introducing this architectural gem to a client’s home—a custom double hip skylight crowning a gorgeous room. The resulting construction offers fluid transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces within the home, and blends well with the existing architecture.
The skylight boasts solid mahogany framing with a robust steel sub-frame. Durability meets sophistication. We used a layer of insulated tempered glass atop heat-strengthened laminated safety glass, further enhanced with a PPG Solarban 70 coating, to ensure optimal thermal performance. The dual-sealed, argon gas-filled glass system is efficient and resilient against oft-challenging New England weather.
Collaborative effort was key to the project’s success. MASS Architect, with their skylight concept drawings, inspired the project’s genesis, while Sunspace prepared a full suite of engineered shop drawings to complement the concepts. The local general contractor's preliminary framing and structural curb preparation accelerated our team’s installation of the skylight. As the frame was assembled at the Sunspace Design shop and positioned above the room via crane operation, a swift two-day field installation saved time and expense for all involved.
At Sunspace Design we’re all about pairing natural light with refined architecture. This double hip skylight is a focal point in the new room that welcomes the sun’s radiance into the heart of the client’s home. We take pride in our role, from engineering to fabrication, careful transportation, and quality installation. Our projects are journeys where architectural ideas are transformed into tangible, breathtaking spaces that elevate the way we live and create memories.

The home also has a downstairs living area that can be utilized as a play room, theater, wine cellar or an optional bedroom. The outside area of the basement has a fire-pit and sitting area which can be seen when entering the home.

The last installment of our Summer Porch Series is actually my own Screened Porch. My husband Tom and I love this outdoor space, and I have designed it like I would any other room in my home. When we purchased our home, it was just a covered porch. We added the screens, and it has been worth every penny. A couple of years ago, we even added a television out here so we could watch our beloved Bulldogs play football. We brought the all-weather wicker furniture from our previous home, but I recently had the cushions recovered in outdoor fabrics of blues and greens. This extends the color palette from my newly redesigned Den into this space.
I added colorful accessories like an oversized green ceramic lamp, and navy jute poufs serve as my coffee table. I even added artwork to fill the large wall over a console. Of course, I let nature be the best accessory and filled pots and hanging baskets with pet friendly plants.
We love our Screened Porch and utilize it as a third living space in our home. We hope you have enjoyed our Summer Porch Series and are inspired to redesign your outdoor spaces. If you need help, just give us a call. Enjoy!

This project was such an incredible design opportunity, and instilled inspiration and excitement at every turn! Our amazing clients came to us with the challenge of converting their beloved family home into a welcoming haven for all members of the family. At the time that we met our clients, they were struggling with the difficult personal decision of the fate of the home. Their father/father-in-law had passed away and their mother/mother-in-law had recently been admitted into a nursing facility and was fighting Alzheimer’s. Resistant to loss of the home now that both parents were out of it, our clients purchased the home to keep in in the family. Despite their permanent home currently being in New Jersey, these clients dedicated themselves to keeping and revitalizing the house. We were moved by the story and became immediately passionate about bringing this dream to life.
The home was built by the parents of our clients and was only ever owned by them, making this a truly special space to the family. Our goal was to revitalize the home and to bring new energy into every room without losing the special characteristics that were original to the home when it was built. In this way, we were able to develop a house that maintains its own unique personality while offering a space of welcoming neutrality for all members of the family to enjoy over time.
The renovation touched every part of the home: the exterior, foyer, kitchen, living room, sun room, garage, six bedrooms, three bathrooms, the laundry room, and everything in between. The focus was to develop a style that carried consistently from space to space, but allowed for unique expression in the small details in every room.
Starting at the entry, we renovated the front door and entry point to offer more presence and to bring more of the mid-century vibe to the home’s exterior. We integrated a new modern front door, cedar shingle accents, new exterior paint, and gorgeous contemporary house numbers that really allow the home to stand out. Just inside the entry, we renovated the foyer to create a playful entry point worthy of attention. Cement look tile adorns the foyer floor, and we’ve added new lighting and upgraded the entry coat storage.
Upon entering the home, one will immediately be captivated by the stunning kitchen just off the entry. We transformed this space in just about every way. While the footprint of the home ultimately remained almost identical, the aesthetics were completely turned on their head. We re-worked the kitchen to maximize storage and to create an informal dining area that is great for casual hosting or morning coffee.
We removed the entry to the garage that was once in the informal dining, and created a peninsula in its place that offers a unique division between the kitchen/informal dining and the formal dining and living areas. The simple light warm light gray cabinetry offers a bit of traditional elegance, along with the marble backsplash and quartz countertops. We extended the original wood flooring into the kitchen and stained all floors to match for a warmth that truly resonates through all spaces. We upgraded appliances, added lighting everywhere, and finished the space with some gorgeous mid century furniture pieces.
In the formal dining and living room, we really focused on maintaining the original marble fireplace as a focal point. We cleaned the marble, repaired the mortar, and refinished the original fireplace screen to give a new sleek look in black. We then integrated a new gas insert for modern heating and painted the upper portion in a rich navy blue; an accent that is carried through the home consistently as a nod to our client’s love of the color.
The former entry into the old covered porch is now an elegant glass door leading to a stunning finished sunroom. This room was completely upgraded as well. We wrapped the entire space in cozy white shiplap to keep a casual feel with brightness. We tiled the floor with large format concrete look tile, and painted the old brick fireplace a bright white. We installed a new gas burning unit, and integrated transitional style lighting to bring warmth and elegance into the space. The new black-frame windows are adorned with decorative shades that feature hand-sketched bird prints, and we’ve created a dedicated garden-ware “nook” for our client who loves to work in the yard. The far end of this space is completed with two oversized chaise loungers and overhead lights…the most perfect little reading nook!
Just off the dining room, we created an entirely new space to the home: a mudroom. The clients lacked this space and desperately needed a landing spot upon entering the home from the garage. We uniquely planned existing space in the garage to utilize for this purpose, and were able to create a small but functional entry point without losing the ability to park cars in the garage. This new space features cement-look tile, gorgeous deep brown cabinetry, and plenty of storage for all the small items one might need to store while moving in and out of the home.
The remainder of the upstairs level includes massive renovations to the guest hall bathroom and guest bedroom, upstairs master bed/bath suite, and a third bedroom that we converted into a home office for the client.
Some of the largest transformations were made in the basement, where unfinished space and lack of light were converted into gloriously lit, cozy, finished spaces. Our first task was to convert the massive basement living room into the new master bedroom for our clients. We removed existing built-ins, created an entirely new walk-in closet, painted the old brick fireplace, installed a new gas unit, added carpet, introduced new lighting, replaced windows, and upgraded every part of the aesthetic appearance. One of the most incredible features of this space is the custom double sliding barn door made by a Denver artisan. This space is truly a retreat for our clients!
We also completely transformed the laundry room, back storage room, basement master bathroom, and two bedrooms.
This home’s massive scope and ever-evolving challenges were thrilling and exciting to work with, and the result is absolutely amazing. At the end of the day, this home offers a look and feel that the clients love. Above all, though, the clients feel the spirit of their family home and have a welcoming environment for all members of the family to enjoy for years to come.

Colors giving a bundle of joy and calm in this room. For Junior Sindwani, It is an amazing space to play around. Having green and shades of it as his favorite we added parts of it in the entire space, considering the utility aspects intact as we went ahead finishing this joyful and happening space.

Ocean Road Landscaping
This landscape garden won the 2014 Landscape Victoria Awards for “Plants In the Landscape”. With its natural Stingy Bark twisted trees, the design highlights and enhances these beautiful sculptural trees. The plants are the landscape, attracting wildlife and frogs, with evidence of children climbing and playing in this space. The use of north facing sun has been harnessed in the court yard close to the house, offering a completely different micro-climate, and protection from the southerly breeze.
This landscape garden was in the Open Gardens Australia for a special twilight event in January 2014 & 2015. With features such as decking, stonewalls and plantings that are drought hardy and indigenous. Monies raised from these garden openings were donated to the Anglesea CFA.
Plants in Landscape Award –Landscape Victoria Judge, Bryan Rankin- Lifetime Member said…
“WOW! This is an exceptional garden. The plants in this garden are the landscape. The existing trees have been made features in the overall landscape, and new plantings have been done to compliment and further highlight the existing trees.
The use of native plants in a structured manner has worked really well, and the retention of an undisturbed strip of indigenous vegetation has been sensitively incorporated into the landscape.
It was also great to see that this was a space that was explored and utilised by the whole family.”

We transformed this overgrown and unusable back yard into a private retreat for these homeowners and their dogs. The couple wanted a place to relax, paths for the dogs to play, and beautiful native plantings. The cedar floating deck was the star, surrounded by a perimeter of all-season perennials, shrubs and trees. Plants were also positioned on top of a wall to soften the rear fence and prevent erosion. Now, this beautiful and functional garden is utilized, quite frequently, throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall. And, the dogs get a good workout.

We utilized woven grass valances to fix the terribly low window lines of the patio doors. Accent wall of red warms the space and plays off the green table felt. The contemporary geometric drapery fabric and linear Tibetan wool rug keeps the space fresh.

Our client’s charming cottage was no longer meeting the needs of their family. We needed to give them more space but not lose the quaint characteristics that make this little historic home so unique. So we didn’t go up, and we didn’t go wide, instead we took this master suite addition straight out into the backyard and maintained 100% of the original historic façade.
Master Suite
This master suite is truly a private retreat. We were able to create a variety of zones in this suite to allow room for a good night’s sleep, reading by a roaring fire, or catching up on correspondence. The fireplace became the real focal point in this suite. Wrapped in herringbone whitewashed wood planks and accented with a dark stone hearth and wood mantle, we can’t take our eyes off this beauty. With its own private deck and access to the backyard, there is really no reason to ever leave this little sanctuary.
Master Bathroom
The master bathroom meets all the homeowner’s modern needs but has plenty of cozy accents that make it feel right at home in the rest of the space. A natural wood vanity with a mixture of brass and bronze metals gives us the right amount of warmth, and contrasts beautifully with the off-white floor tile and its vintage hex shape. Now the shower is where we had a little fun, we introduced the soft matte blue/green tile with satin brass accents, and solid quartz floor (do you see those veins?!). And the commode room is where we had a lot fun, the leopard print wallpaper gives us all lux vibes (rawr!) and pairs just perfectly with the hex floor tile and vintage door hardware.
Hall Bathroom
We wanted the hall bathroom to drip with vintage charm as well but opted to play with a simpler color palette in this space. We utilized black and white tile with fun patterns (like the little boarder on the floor) and kept this room feeling crisp and bright.
Granit Architects + Interiors
We helped our clients to create a practical, modern and beautiful family home in Putney, South West London.
The Brief
The brief from our clients was to amalgamate an annex and original house building to create one practical family home. It was important the annex did not feel like an add-on, but rather as part of the original property.
The Solution
The design solution is to feature a series of new openings between the two buildings to provide subtle connections and routes between spaces throughout the house.
The whole footprint was utilised and spaces were carefully arranged to maximise light and provide a more functional family home. Glass doors with steel frames were used in the hallway to open up sight-lines to the large rear garden and provide flexibility to the use of the space.
The dining room features a hidden door into a secret lounge space that plays on the idea of there previously being a sense of separation. The Kitchen was made bespoke by Higham Furniture, a supplier we have worked with many times before and who are in our supplier directory.
All the original external walls and ground floor construction have been insulated to exceed building regulation standards, creating a highly sustainable building. This is great for our clients carbon footprint and for keeping their running costs low.
Externally, corner glazed full height sliding doors were added to provide a seamless transition between the lounge and garden. At roof level, a series of dormers were added to the master suite that help draw breathtaking views towards the London skyline.
The rear garden was landscaped by Patios, Pots and Pergolas.
The Result
We are delighted with the outcome, which is a sustainable and functional single family home that responds well to our clients brief.
Reflections Water Gardens
Creating environments that encourage our families to spend more time outdoors is important in today’s hi-tech world. Designed for the 2014 Chicago Flower and Garden show, this display garden captures a playful sensibility well-suited for any family to enjoy. The clean, modern lines and carefully planned spaces of this 50’ by 50’ garden form an enticing setting to simply unplug. Working within a very limited area, the design organizes a bio pool with sundeck, a spillover water feature and lounge area, and a gravel dining terrace with a built-in fireplace and shade tree canopy.
Unlike traditional pools, our bio pool utilizes aquatic plants, beneficial bacteria, and microbes, rather than harsh chemicals, to filter the water. Impurities and excess nutrients are drawn out of the water naturally, creating a much healthier swimming environment. A native plant palette is incorporated throughout the garden with shade trees, ornamentals, native forbs, and perennials in an emergent spring landscape. We hope this exciting design will encourage green inspiration for visitors, whether they have a tight city lot or a larger suburban property.

Integrated Home Improvement
Both the design and construction teams put their heart into making sure we worked with the client to achieve this gorgeous vision. The client was sensitive to both aesthetic and functionality goals, so we set out to improve their old, dated cramped kitchen, with an open concept that facilitates cooking workflow, and dazzles the eye with its mid century modern design. One of their biggest items was their need for increased storage space. We certainly achieved that with ample cabinet space and doubling their pantry space.
The 13 foot waterfall island is the centerpiece, which is heavily utilized for cooking, eating, playing board games and hanging out. The pantry behind the walnut doors used to be the fridge space, and there's an extra pantry now to the left of the current fridge. We moved the sink from the counter to the island, which really helped workflow (we created triangle between cooktop, sink and fridge/pantry 2). To make the cabinets flow linearly at the top we moved and replaced the window. The beige paint is called alpaca from Sherwin Williams and the blue is charcoal blue from sw.
Everything was carefully selected, from the horizontal grain on the walnut cabinets, to the subtly veined white quartz from Arizona tile, to the black glass paneled luxury hood from Futuro Futuro. The pendants and chandelier are from West Elm. The flooring is from karastan; a gorgeous engineered, white oak in herringbone pattern. The recessed lights are decorative from Lumens. The pulls are antique brass from plank hardware (in London). We sourced the door handles and cooktop (Empava) from Houzz. The faucet is Rohl and the sink is Bianco.

The design task was to create a 160 m2 family house, an elegant, light,
cheerful home for a young couple. We could already start work from the
architectural plans, so they could even initiate some minor
modifications to those.
Cooking plays an important role in the lives of the customers, so the
detailed kitchen utensil requirements were part of the brief. They would
also like to have kids in the future, so the goal was to make the
kitchen, dining room and living room function as one space, and the
dining room extendable. However, a relatively small space was available
for this, so the kitchen was given an unusual formal design. With every
detail in mind, the most current mechanical and intelligent systems have
been integrated into the house: from the unique drying system in the
laundry room to the chamber.
An interesting solution is the placement of the sinks in one of the
bathrooms, their back wall functions as a screen for the shower. In
addition, one half of the building is underground, so those solutions
have been preferred, which allow more natural light into the interiors
(e.g., acid-coated glass and glass bathroom doors have been used in the
common wall of the illuminated staircase and bathroom).
We were free to walk between styles. So geometric, playful shapes,
customer-preferred blue and oak veneered wood surfaces create harmony in
the spaces. The walls feature contemporary posters, custom prints and
contemporary artwork.

The Milano Kitchens Symphony collection boasts stylish kitchen units for you to create a contemporary designer kitchen for your home at an affordable price. At the heart of any home, it is important that a kitchen is both practical and welcoming, especially since we spend so much time in them.
Featuring a wide variety of styles from sleek contemporary units to stoic and traditional aesthetics. For more on the available kitchen design options, call the Boys & Boden kitchens team on 01244 661955 or email alex.buchanan@boysandboden.co.uk
Paints and Finishes
An important part of designing your kitchen is choosing the paint for your units. The Symphony collection features a vast selection of paints and finishes, ready to suit your precise wants and needs in either matt or gloss.
Classic Collection
The Milano Classic range features a selection of timeless designs for your kitchen space. These units have simple yet effective shaker designs and smooth practical forms. While the classic collection is nothing ground-breaking in a contemporary sense it is ideal for those that prefer a familiar traditional aesthetic in their kitchen space.
Kitchen Lighting & Accessories
Smart lighting choices make a significant impact on the atmosphere of a kitchen space. Under cabinet lighting is not only practical for keeping the workspace visible, it also keeps it bright and attractive. Depending on the type of lighting used, the space can also be cool and sophisticated or warm and cosy.
Compact Storage Solutions
Every good kitchen has some innovative hidden surprise that enhances the practicality of the space. The most effective hidden surprise is use of smart storage. Extending cabinet shelves, retractable wine racks and magnetic utility racks are all excellent example of storage solutions available from Milano that can maximise the utility of your kitchen space.
Splashbacks
Along with serving a practical purpose of providing an easily maintained surface above a hob, splashbacks also fulfil a role like that of a feature wall. They offer the opportunity to add a splash of colour to a space, acting as a centre-piece to the visual profile of your kitchen. The Milano range boasts a wide selection of glass kitchen splashbacks to suit your tastes at a great price.
Worktop Surfaces
When you think about how you experience a kitchen space, touch is an important factor, especially when it comes to the choice of worktop. These surfaces need to be pleasant to the touch yet also durable enough to take the wear and tear of general use. The Milano Symphony range offers a wide selection of easily cleaned laminate worktop surfaces in a variety of gorgeous colours and designs. Available surface profiles include Oak Block, Natural Ash, Copper Slate, Brazilian Walnut and Alpine White.
Handles; Contemporary, Traditional & Inline
Once you have settled on a design for your cabinets, the next decision is handles. Handles come in a range of attractive styles, suitable for both modern and classical kitchen styles. Sleek contemporary shapes are available along with ornate and stoic traditional forms. These designs also come in a selection of finishes, from bright chrome to rich coloured pewter and smooth copper. If you want a minimalist aesthetic you may prefer inline handles. These handles have subtle profiles and are available in four trim finishes.
Door Suites; Choose your Style, Choose your Paint
Milano Symphony offer a huge variety of paint and door style configurations to choose from. When it comes to door styles you may choose from the contemporary styles such as Alta or New York or something more traditional like the Ashbourne or Wexford designs. Once you have selected your favourite you may then peruse the 19 different colour options. For more extravagant designs you may even mix and match paints for a personally curated colour scheme in your kitchen.
