Morgante Wilson designed a pool table area that included our clients record album covers mounted above a custom zinc-wrapped drink ledge and Lee Industries slip-covered counter stools. The media area was designed around an upside-down U-shape barn wood panels. The barn wood panel shown partially covering the album covers was designed to hide and allow access to the electrical panels located on the wall behind. Werner Straube Photography

I love contrasting materials in my interiors (new with old, polished with rough, dark with light), because I think it makes for a more visually stimulating spaces. Here, we brought in the reclaimed wood as a rustic backdrop for the modern furnishings. We added the chocolate curtains to make it appear as if there were a window in the room and to visually frame out the space. The art work is by a good friend of mine, Todd Murphy. Habachy Designs brought in all of the linens and kept it monochromatic with the textured shag area rug. Last but not least, I always love to select a sculptural focal point for a room, and thought what better light fixture for this space than the Taraxacum Suspension Light which was designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, 1960.

The family room addition enabled our clients to have a separate dining room and small sitting desk area off of the kitchen.

Hillersdon Avenue is a magnificent article 2 protected house built in 1899. Our brief was to extend and remodel the house to better suit a modern family and their needs, without destroying the architectural heritage of the property. From the outset our approach was to extend the space within the existing volume rather than extend the property outside its intended boundaries. It was our central aim to make our interventions appear as if they had always been part of the house.
