Mark Hoyle Originally, this 3700 SF two level eclectic farmhouse from the mid 1980’s underwent design changes to reflect a more colonial style. Now, after being completely renovated with additional 2800 SF living space, it’s combined total of 6500 SF boasts an Energy Star certification of 5 stars. Approaching this completed home, you will meander along a new driveway through the dense buffer of trees until you reach the clearing, and then circle a tiered fountain on axis with the front entry accentuating the symmetrical main structure. Many of the exterior changes included enclosing the front porch and rear screened porch, replacing windows, replacing all the vinyl siding with and fiber cement siding, creating a new front stoop with winding brick stairs and wrought iron railings as will as other additions to the left and rear of the home. The existing interior was completely fro the studs and included modifying uses of many of the existing rooms such as converting the original dining room into an oval shaped theater with reclining theater seats, fiber-optic starlight ceiling and an 80” television with built-in surround sound. The laundry room increased in size by taking in the porch and received all new cabinets and finishes. The screened porch across the back of the house was enclosed to create a new dining room, enlarged the kitchen, all of which allows for a commanding view of the beautifully landscaped pool. The upper master suite begins by entering a private office then leads to a newly vaulted bedroom, a new master bathroom with natural light and an enlarged closet. The major portion of the addition space was added to the left side as a part time home for the owner’s brother. This new addition boasts an open plan living, dining and kitchen, a master suite with a luxurious bathroom and walk–in closet, a guest suite, a garage and its own private gated brick courtyard entry and direct access to the well appointed pool patio. And finally the last part of the project is the sunroom and new lagoon style pool. Tucked tightly against the rear of the home. This room was created to feel like a gazebo including a metal roof and stained wood ceiling, the foundation of this room was constructed with the pool to insure the look as if it is floating on the water. The pool’s negative edge opposite side allows open views of the trees beyond. There is a natural stone waterfall on one side of the pool and a shallow area on the opposite side for lounge chairs to be placed in it along with a hot tub that spills into the pool. The coping completes the pool’s natural shape and continues to the patio utilizing the same stone but separated by Zoysia grass keeping the natural theme. The finishing touches to this backyard oasis is completed utilizing large boulders, Tempest Torches, architectural lighting and abundant variety of landscaping complete the oasis for all to enjoy.

Design ideas for a contemporary family room in New York with grey walls and a built-in media wall.

Joshua Lawrence Jenny Martin Design Domingo & Co White architectural fireplace against a gray stone wall with potlights complement the large TV and the silver shag rug and the sleek leather furniture.

This space is part of an open concept Kitchen/Family room . Various shades of gray, beige and white were used throughout the space. The poplar wood cocktail table adds a touch of warmth and helps to give the space an inviting look.

The fireplace is simplistic with sophisticated details. Large format slate tiles were hand selected for the right balance of color in this highly variable stone. The beam from which the mantle was built is reclaimed from an old Barnum & Bailey barn and refinished by a local craftsman who also added the locally picked rail road ties to complete the design. To give the space more dimension, we furred out the surrounding area on which the slate was applied to create this inset of leathered black granite. The granite texture pulls in the hand forged iron on the doors and iron pegs on the beam. The room was completed by the this one of a kind artemedis fan that also has rustic materials and a contemporary flair.
