The inspiration for these planter boxes were drawn from the glass blocks used in the facade of this modern home. Cladded in zinc coated copper, this is the same material used as the trim on the home. This material choice and design helps to blend the landscape and architecture together. Photo by George Dzahristos

Huge traditional red three-story brick house exterior idea in New York with a hip roof and a shingle roof

These wonderful window boxes were designed and planted by Douglas C Lynn, Landscape Architect . These window boxes were designed with decorative brackets for looks and stability. Notice how the top of the box fits snug under the brick rowlock and the bottom of the decorative brackets sit on top of the cove water table brick for custom look. The proportions of the pattern were dimensioned to create depth, interest and simplicity ion the design and ample space for planting. These window boxes have a custom aluminum liner with drain hole in the center and flange on top to fit snug around the outside edge of the box itself.

Bringing the outside right into the house. Beautiful dining room overlooking the pool and patio with the airiest chandelier I've ever seen. You can also get a sneak peak at what we did in the backyard. Built in summer kitchen, new pool and fountain, lush & private landscaping.

As written in Northern Home & Cottage by Elizabeth Edwards In general, Bryan and Connie Rellinger loved the charm of the old cottage they purchased on a Crooked Lake peninsula, north of Petoskey. Specifically, however, the presence of a live-well in the kitchen (a huge cement basin with running water for keeping fish alive was right in the kitchen entryway, seriously), rickety staircase and green shag carpet, not so much. An extreme renovation was the only solution. The downside? The rebuild would have to fit into the smallish nonconforming footprint. The upside? That footprint was built when folks could place a building close enough to the water to feel like they could dive in from the house. Ahhh... Stephanie Baldwin of Edgewater Design helped the Rellingers come up with a timeless cottage design that breathes efficiency into every nook and cranny. It also expresses the synergy of Bryan, Connie and Stephanie, who emailed each other links to products they liked throughout the building process. That teamwork resulted in an interior that sports a young take on classic cottage. Highlights include a brass sink and light fixtures, coffered ceilings with wide beadboard planks, leathered granite kitchen counters and a way-cool floor made of American chestnut planks from an old barn. Thanks to an abundant use of windows that deliver a grand view of Crooked Lake, the home feels airy and much larger than it is. Bryan and Connie also love how well the layout functions for their family - especially when they are entertaining. The kids' bedrooms are off a large landing at the top of the stairs - roomy enough to double as an entertainment room. When the adults are enjoying cocktail hour or a dinner party downstairs, they can pull a sliding door across the kitchen/great room area to seal it off from the kids' ruckus upstairs (or vice versa!). From its gray-shingled dormers to its sweet white window boxes, this charmer on Crooked Lake is packed with ideas! - Jacqueline Southby Photography

Gut renovation of 1880's townhouse. New vertical circulation and dramatic rooftop skylight bring light deep in to the middle of the house. A new stair to roof and roof deck complete the light-filled vertical volume. Programmatically, the house was flipped: private spaces and bedrooms are on lower floors, and the open plan Living Room, Dining Room, and Kitchen is located on the 3rd floor to take advantage of the high ceiling and beautiful views. A new oversized front window on 3rd floor provides stunning views across New York Harbor to Lower Manhattan. The renovation also included many sustainable and resilient features, such as the mechanical systems were moved to the roof, radiant floor heating, triple glazed windows, reclaimed timber framing, and lots of daylighting.
