Needing more space for their growing family, these young homeowners approached us to help them create an updated, larger home from their existing 1953 split-level.

A full renovation of a triplex apartment in the Cobble Hill neighborhood in Brooklyn. The renovation included a modern approach to the new design of the apartment with the intention of making the space more comfortable and accessible.

This astonishing duplex penthouse has floor-to-ceiling glass walls with unparalleled views of Manhattan. It has been designed with a modern approach to create a welcoming home space as well as being a showcase of fabulous views. The dining room design emphasizes the view with its very neutral color palette. The Blue flowing art piece reflected in the tan nailed oval mirror is a piece by artist Peggy Bates.

In this whole-house renovation we transformed a dark ‘50s ranch house into a bright, open, contemporary home with a breathtaking 180-degree view. The owner sought a peaceful, sanctuary-like environment where she could relax and work from home, as well as an easy place to entertain guests. Following these fundamental criteria, we approached the project with a simple design and select palette of natural materials.

The comfortable elegance of this French-Country inspired home belies the challenges faced during its conception. The beautiful, wooded site was steeply sloped requiring study of the location, grading, approach, yard and views from and to the rolling Pennsylvania countryside. The client desired an old world look and feel, requiring a sensitive approach to the extensive program. Large, modern spaces could not add bulk to the interior or exterior. Furthermore, it was critical to balance voluminous spaces designed for entertainment with more intimate settings for daily living while maintaining harmonic flow throughout. The result home is wide, approached by a winding drive terminating at a prominent facade embracing the motor court. Stone walls feather grade to the front façade, beginning the masonry theme dressing the structure. A second theme of true Pennsylvania timber-framing is also introduced on the exterior and is subsequently revealed in the formal Great and Dining rooms. Timber-framing adds drama, scales down volume, and adds the warmth of natural hand-wrought materials. The Great Room is literal and figurative center of this master down home, separating casual living areas from the elaborate master suite. The lower level accommodates casual entertaining and an office suite with compelling views. The rear yard, cut from the hillside, is a composition of natural and architectural elements with timber framed porches and terraces accessed from nearly every interior space flowing to a hillside of boulders and waterfalls. The result is a naturally set, livable, truly harmonious, new home radiating old world elegance. This home is powered by a geothermal heating and cooling system and state of the art electronic controls and monitoring systems.

Quiet and confident, this new home sits adjacent to Lake Ontario. A yew hedge gives privacy to the backyard while two columns and an iron gate lead to the gardens and patio. Detailed pedestrian walks approach from both the street and lake. The property exudes a simple, clean, well appointed and comfortable atmosphere.

The master bathroom -as the entirety of the upper floors- was approached differently than the main living areas. Although some artifacts were dispersed throughout, our client opted for an airy transitional scheme with coastal design elements. The custom vanity features mirrored doors, a glacier-white marble counter as well as chrome fixtures and hardware. The lower walls were sheathed with shimmery porcelain and glass tiles. Faux-wood tile flooring provides warmth and character.
