Each project is a unique response to the client’s lifestyle and programmatic needs, as well as site characteristics and surrounding context. We create buildings that harmonize with their environment and dovetail into existing buildings when necessary. Styles are based on classical and traditional forms and designed for a modern lifestyle.

Historic Hudson Valley Georgian is transformed

 

This historic 1788 country estate sprawls across 169 scenic acres. The transformative renovation melds old-world charm with modern comfort. The collaboration among experts was pivotal. Our historical preservation expertise, the contractor’s vast experience with older homes, and the designer’s aesthetic vision complemented each other to perfection. It now stands as an exceptional homestead in the Hudson Valley, destined to enchant owners and guests for generations to come.

 

 

Unwinding taken seriously

2024 Alice Washburn Award Winner

This new pool house is thoughtfully designed to nestle into a lush backyard garden. We partnered with Stecks Nursery and the clients to craft their personal sanctuary. We also worked with a local timber frame company using reclaimed beams to create beautiful exposed scissor trusses. Features like the private garden with fireplace and spiraled outdoor shower make it a unique oasis. Spacious and light-filled interiors with plaster walls, limestone floors, and an inspired design leave a lasting impression.

 

A classic New England seaside home for a modern family

 

This new home is situated on an inlet along Long Island Sound in Connecticut.  The house's orientation was critical to ensuring all the main rooms took advantage of the water views. It was the basis of the design, which was translated through the interiors.  A floor plan with well-connected rooms makes the home feel spacious and light-filled yet defines comfortable, memorable, and inspiring spaces.

Traditional coastal-inspired design

 

The clients prioritized open plan living and strategic window placement to fully enjoy the surrounding water views. They wanted a traditional style with clean and modern finishes, while using natural materials to create a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The design needed to be functional yet stylish, modern yet warm and inviting.

 

 

A beach house with a much needed update

 

This older home on the waterfront received a complete interior renovation. A myriad of small, dark rooms were opened up to allow all the living spaces to be drenched in sunlight and have water views. Modern finishes were used to give this beach house a transitional feel. Working in close partnership with the owners made this project a success.
