Ward Jewell, AIA was asked to design a comfortable one-story stone and wood pool house that was "barn-like" in keeping with the owner’s gentleman farmer concept. Thus, Mr. Jewell was inspired to create an elegant New England Stone Farm House designed to provide an exceptional environment for them to live, entertain, cook and swim in the large reflection lap pool. Mr. Jewell envisioned a dramatic vaulted great room with hand selected 200 year old reclaimed wood beams and 10 foot tall pocketing French doors that would connect the house to a pool, deck areas, loggia and lush garden spaces, thus bringing the outdoors in. A large cupola “lantern clerestory” in the main vaulted ceiling casts a natural warm light over the graceful room below. The rustic walk-in stone fireplace provides a central focal point for the inviting living room lounge. Important to the functionality of the pool house are a chef’s working farm kitchen with open cabinetry, free-standing stove and a soapstone topped central island with bar height seating. Grey washed barn doors glide open to reveal a vaulted and beamed quilting room with full bath and a vaulted and beamed library/guest room with full bath that bookend the main space. The private garden expanded and evolved over time. After purchasing two adjacent lots, the owners decided to redesign the garden and unify it by eliminating the tennis court, relocating the pool and building an inspired "barn". The concept behind the garden’s new design came from Thomas Jefferson’s home at Monticello with its wandering paths, orchards, and experimental vegetable garden. As a result this small organic farm, was born. Today the farm produces more than fifty varieties of vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers; many of which are rare and hard to find locally. The farm also grows a wide variety of fruits including plums, pluots, nectarines, apricots, apples, figs, peaches, guavas, avocados (Haas, Fuerte and Reed), olives, pomegranates, persimmons, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and ten different types of citrus. The remaining areas consist of drought-tolerant sweeps of rosemary, lavender, rockrose, and sage all of which attract butterflies and dueling hummingbirds. Photo Credit: Laura Hull Photography.

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.
