Hamptons-Inspired Kitchen One cannot help but feel a distinct sense of serenity and timeless beauty when entering this Hamptons-style kitchen. Bathed in natural light and shimmering with inspired accents and details, this complete kitchen transformation is at once elegant and inviting. Plans and elevations were conceived to create balance and function without sacrificing harmony and visual intrigue. A metal custom hood, with an eye-catching brass band and impeccably balanced cabinets on either side, provides a strong focal point for the kitchen, which can be viewed from the adjacent living room. Brass faucets, hardware and light fixtures complement and draw further attention to this anchoring element. A wall of glass cabinetry enhances the existing windows and pleasantly expands the sense of openness in the space. Taj Mahal quartzite blends gracefully with the cabinet finishes. Cream-tone, herringbone tiles are custom-cut into different patterns to create a sense of visual movement as the eyes move across the room. An elegant, marble-top island paired with sumptuous, leather-covered stools, not only offers extra counterspace, but also an ideal gathering place for loved ones to enjoy. This unforgettable kitchen gem shines even brighter with the addition of glass cabinets, designed to display the client’s collection of Portmeirion china. Careful consideration was given to the selection of stone for the countertops, as well as the color of paint for the cabinets, to highlight this inspiring collection. Breakfast room A thoughtfully blended mix of furniture styles introduces a splash of European charm to this Hamptons-style kitchen, with French, cane-back chairs providing a sense of airy elegance and delight. A performance velvet adorns the banquette, which is piled high with lush cushions for optimal comfort while lounging in the room. Another layer of texture is achieved with a wool area rug that defines and accentuates this gorgeous breakfast nook with sprawling views of the outdoors. Finishing features include drapery fabric and Brunschwig and Fils Bird and Thistle paper, whose natural, botanic pattern combines with the beautiful vistas of the backyard to inspire a sense of being in a botanical, outdoor wonderland.

This warm and rustic home, set in the spacious Lakeview neighborhood, features incredible reclaimed wood accents from the vaulted ceiling beams connecting the great room and dining room to the wood mantel and other accents throughout.

This early 20th century Indianapolis, IN basement remodel was in desperate need of help. The original and still operating hydronic radiant heating system had its plumbing configured without regard to any other use of the space. Fearful of harming the aged system and the high cost of doing so, these Clients were adamant that the existing system remain intact. Architect Lee Constantine developed a design that maintained the existing heating system while creating "niches" around the perimeter that would conceal the unsightly plumbing. Additionally, by removing free-standing structural supporting posts, amore flexible and inviting space was achieved. Because of an already low ceiling condition, the floor-ceiling structure above was kept exposed, painted and highlighted with indirect lighting to avoid further reducing the ceiling height. Constantine incorporated "clouds" on this ceiling to conceal certain existing components that either were cost prohibitive to relocate or couldn't be relocated. These "clouds"become a "visual element" through their geometry and hidden "indirect" light source rather than an undesirable complication. Now this family entertains frequently in the basement and reports "it doesn't feel like we're in a basement anymore"

This kitchen is a light bright traditional space. Its light and neutral color pallet is warm and inviting, while staying true to traditional design. The space doesn’t feel heavy or ornate, but still carries custom and visually interesting elements. The wood hood have hand carved corbels and a display shelf. The arched raised panel valance over the sink marries the two areas of the kitchen and creates visual interest and dimension. The spindles at the cook top add to the classic feel of the white cabinets. The clear glass mullion door is clean and timeless. The built in bench seating area is a great place to visit while the cook is busy at work. The light granite compliments the tumbled stone throughout the rest of the kitchen. The flooring is a patterned tumbled travertine. The back splash is tumbled marble and by changing formats from square to diamond, we add interest without creating visually busy or completing elements. The glass rope and inset glass tiles are a custom element that adds to the custom elegance of the space.

Originally designed as a series of separate spaces that included a tub area, shower and walk-in closet, this transitional master bath was re-imagined as a light and bright space with an open layout and more than a bit of design dazzle. The large cabinets positioned at the entrance provide a secondary closet to the one located in the master bedroom and serve to visually frame the elegant view from the entry. Shades of grey, blue, and taupe, set against a backdrop of clean white walls, trim and ceiling, add character and interest. The grey dolomite marble flooring leads the eye toward the wet room on the far end of the bath, where the basket weave floor tile adds textural interest. A white freestanding tub tucked neatly to the side is perfect for a leisurely soak. Centered in the space, a large window looks out onto an interior courtyard. The expansive glass shower wall takes advantage of the window allowing an abundant influx of natural light. The Blues quartzite countertops offer hints of blue, while the cabinetry, neither grey nor blue, but rather a blue-grey-taupe hue, was chosen to tie the finishes together. An X motif in the vanity adds a simple visual element that echoes the herringbone pattern in the backsplash tile above it. The plush vanity stool continues the blue-grey palette. Moments of gold on the light fixtures and mirror frames provide pop. Glass beads drip from the statement making chandelier in the center of the space and glittery crystal knobs adorn the cabinetry. all elements that imbue this clean-lined bath a glamorous vibe.
