A dynamic great room space! The classic white shaker style kitchen is revolutionized with warm accents on the island, a modern glass panel back splash in a copper finish, and oil-rubbed bronze hardware. The custom curved fireplace wall is covered in a textural tile from Porcelanosa to accentuate its form. Two concave niches for artwork, a modern gas fireplace, and built-in t.v. make this a one of a kind feature. The staircase was modernized with dark wooden treads and a custom aircraft cable railing with welded iron posts to complement the large iron post supporting the eating bar fastened to the kitchen's island. The adjoining guest bathroom was remodeled with sleek modern finishes to flow with the design of the great room. Photo Credit: Nar Fine Carpentry, Inc.

A 19x19 V-stone Nut in the color Cross Matte was chosen for the floor tile, as well as the shower walls and ceiling tile. The Sliced Green Ocean Stones sliced pebbles from Tesoro was used on the shower floor, inside the shower niche and for a vertical decorative panel.

LEED Certification Level: V4 Builder: BPC Green Builders, LLC Architect: Trillium Architects. The Taft School faculty home serves as a high performance residence and learning lab for students. The project also earned certification through ENERGY STAR, Indoor airPLUS, Water Sense, PHIUS, and Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready Homes with Living Building Challenge Petal recognition pending. The project team was honored with third place in the 2014 Connecticut Zero Energy Home Challenge. Excluding the photovoltaic installation the HERS index was 33, and with the 13.1 kW the HERS index is -14. A year of utility bills show the home is producing more electricity than it uses. Located on a quiet street adjacent to campus the existing, historic home was deconstructed and materials donated or reused where possible. Challenged to find high efficiency windows that were historic commission acceptable, the team installed Klearwall awnings or casements over fixed glass (to mimic double hungs) with simulated divided lites (u-values as low as 0.13). A high solar heat gain coefficient (0.58) facilitates the passive solar gain for winter months, while well designed overhangs and a pergola shade summer sun. Double stud walls have 2¼” closed cell foam plus 8½” dense pack cellulose for a R-49 cavity. The exterior sheathing is R-6.6 Zip Wall System with taped seams to create the continuous air barrier. Inside the solid concrete foundation is 3” closed cell foam behind 2x4 stud walls and R-32 cellulose in the cavity. Prefabricated TJI joists frame the attic floor, an insulated “room” houses the heat recovery ventilator and ductwork, and blown in cellulose blankets it all in R-86. The house tested 0.6ACH50 proving the effectiveness of its air-tight envelope and attention to air sealing. Heating and cooling is provided by efficient air source heat pumps (9.2 HSPF, 16.5 SEER) and delivered by short duct runs which tested extremely tight. A heat pump water heater provides domestic hot water and an on-demand switch, with an occupancy sensor at each bath, ensures hot water is delivered fast and efficiently. Low flow fixtures are WaterSense certified, appliances are Energy Star labeled, and all LED lighting. A Zehnder Novus 300 (93.3% efficient) HRV supplies 112 cfm of continuous fresh air while using only 32 watts of power and running quietly. The homeowners control the mechanical ventilation through the intuitive wall-mounted control pad to shut off or increase the ventilation. Chemicals and contaminants were reduced by using low VOC and GreenGuard certified sealants, adhesives, primers, and paints. A walk-off matt at the side entry and hardwood floors help control dirt and dust. The granite front steps were salvaged and local stone used for the patio and stone walls. Storm water runoff from the roof, patio, and driveway is managed by the rain garden. The native landscaping is low maintenance, a community garden produces vegetables, and the chicken coop is powered by its own roof mounted PV panels. Taft School Director of Environmental Stewardship, Carly Borken has used the design and construction process as a teaching tool for her science classes. With access to the home monitoring system they can virtually access the residents’ consumption.

We took this master bathroom from dark and heavy to light and bright! We started by slightly changing the layout- the water closet and the shower created a strange "V" shape where they intersected. We straightened this line out in order to create more space for each. We chose white cabinets, a large scale white porcelain tile with bold marble-like veining, and gray quartz countertops. We chose a 12 x 24 gray porcelain floor tile with a linen texture for the main flooring and complemented it with white penny tile with gray grout for the zero entry shower floor. We used matte black plumbing fixtures for contrast. The homeowner loved the idea of shiplap so we used it on the vanity wall to add some character. We painted the walls a beautiful aqua to create the feeling of a spa retreat!

The custom curved fireplace wall is covered in a textural tile from Porcelanosa to accentuate its form. Two concave niches for artwork, a modern gas fireplace, and built-in t.v. make this a one of a kind feature. The staircase was modernized with dark wooden treads and a custom aircraft cable railing with welded iron posts to complement the large iron post supporting the eating bar fastened to the kitchen's island.

AM4244 LUSTROUS AURA FEATURED: The jewel in the crown—quite literally—of Tord Boontje’s Luminous Reflections chandelier collection., Lustrous Aura was inspired by a spectacular piece created for Mrs Hari. This huge (nearly 1.60 meters) domed chandelier echoes the bejeweled headdress created as a costume piece for a Mata Hari performance. Said to have used her feminine wiles to aid her work as a WWI spy, the fabled exotic dancer and courtesan was the embodiment of dazzling glamour. A selection of Boontje’s new crystal components is suspended in its filigree frame (available in polished gold or matt silver LDF) to give the appearance of an outsize piece of jewelry. Like its inspiration, Lustrous Aura is breathtaking in both its daring and its beauty. The charismatic presence and dramatic proportions of this signature piece make it ideally suited to larger spaces. And the neutral white light (4000K) is dimmable, all while throwing out myriad dancing shards around a room. Another standout feature is its innovative LED solution, where the technology integrates the electrical conductors into the structural suspension system, providing power without the need for a dedicated, visible electrical cable.
