The stunning lighting pieces in the dining room are creations by John Richards. This particular chandelier was the inspiration for the lighting that would similarly flow throughout the 6,000 square foot home. In this space, the ceilings provided so much volume that it not only was able to accommodate a lighting piece of this stature, but required it. Dining chairs were by Hickory White and the table was by Chaddock. Photographer: Michael Blevins Photo

Creating an indoor/outdoor connection was paramount for the master suite. This was to become the owner’s private oasis. A vaulted ceiling and window wall invite the flow of natural light. A fireplace and private exit to the garden house provide the perfect respite after a busy day. The new master bath, flanked by his and her walk-in closets, has a tile shower or soaking tub for bathing.

The clients requested professional assistance transforming this small, jumbled room with lots of angles into an efficient home office and occasional guest bedroom for visiting family.

The primary goal of this basement project was to give these homeowners more space: both for their own everyday use and for guests. By excavating an unusable crawl space, we were able to build out a full basement with 9’ high ceilings, a guest bedroom, a full bathroom, a gym, a large storage room, and a spacious entertainment room that includes a kitchenette. In all, the homeowners gained over 1,100 of finished space.

The three-level Mediterranean revival home started as a 1930s summer cottage that expanded downward and upward over time. We used a clean, crisp white wall plaster with bronze hardware throughout the interiors to give the house continuity. A neutral color palette and minimalist furnishings create a sense of calm restraint. Subtle and nuanced textures and variations in tints add visual interest. The stair risers from the living room to the primary suite are hand-painted terra cotta tile in gray and off-white. We used the same tile resource in the kitchen for the island's toe kick.

Weil Friedman designed this small kitchen for a townhouse in the Carnegie Hill Historic District in New York City. A cozy window seat framed by bookshelves allows for expanded light and views. The entry is framed by a tall pantry on one side and a refrigerator on the other. The Lacanche stove and custom range hood sit between custom cabinets in Farrow and Ball Calamine with soapstone counters and aged brass hardware.

In the home's study, the homeowner requested a modern masculine design in a color "that was something different and unexpected." "What about green??" was our reply. And he loved the idea! Our team transformed the once all white space into a sophisticated study. First, we smoothed the existing drywall and added panel moulding, a chair rail and crown moulding. Next, we replaced the ceiling fan with a modern acrylic light fixture and added a sleek picture light between the new bookcases. Luxurious custom drapery panels, a remote-control window shade, upholstered guest chairs and a soft rug add warmth to the space. A modern desk and bookcases and a comfortable office chair complete the space. Now, this handsome office is ready to work!
