We were asked to design a detached garage and office structure to match the main house. This structure is not only an additional garage but also conceals the hunting dog runs and serves as a working office with the interior character designed to have the feel of a hunting lodge. The second floor room is finished to the underside of the roof which was carefully laid out to accommodate the owner’s significant collection of hunting trophy mounts and collectable items. We placed the structure to complement the existing home while creating a courtyard at the drive way and a backdrop for the rear yard family activity area. The exterior of the structure is a combination of natural cement plaster and brick with stone accents including bluestone walks extended from the upper level house terrace. Natural cement plaster was used to match the house but also with the knowledge that this material would eventually show signs of hairline cracks. This eventually will give the material an aged authentic feel. The design intent was to make this structure look like a seamless extension of the home’s design concept. We believe that this structure has accomplished this goal and have had a lot of good response to this design solution.

This client wanted to replace their EIFS stucco siding, and make the home more contemporary utilizing the new Hardieplank Stucco Panel, and Eldorado Stone accents. Hardie's Stucco Panel blends a stucco look with a more modernized feel than traditional stucco. Eldorado stone accents provide a counterpoint that blends well with the Stucco Panel, while giving the design more visual interest.

Bromley Garden House Bromley, South London. Bromley Garden House is a single storey building with a large open area facing the garden, single bedroom at rear and minimal bathroom and a kitchenette. It’s main purpose is to serve as a guest house but also a quiet secluded space overlooking the mature garden. The building 75 m2 footprint occupies a corner of a plot with an existing new built main house. The sharp corner of the plot drives the plan shape maximizing the use of space. 12m sliding glass panes to front can open in the summer days to create an open veranda feel for the main area. Skylights to all areas help provide quality light throughout the day. A central stone accent wall with integrated fire place responds to the brief calling for an integrated rustic feel.

Hidden next to the fairways of The Bears Club in Jupiter Florida, this classic 8,200 square foot Mediterranean estate is complete with contemporary flare. Custom built for our client, this home is comprised of all the essentials including five bedrooms, six full baths in addition to two half baths, grand room featuring a marble fireplace, dining room adjacent to a large wine room, family room overlooking the loggia and pool as well as a master wing complete with separate his and her closets and bathrooms.

The mudroom off of the garage has painted shaker cabinets in Sherwin Williams Iron Ore (SW 7069). This high-traffic area is the perfect drop zone spot for shoes, coats, and bags. With shoe cubbies and a closed coat closet, there's a place for everything in this mudroom design.

The snack station includes a fridge, microwave, countertop, and storage so the kids won’t have to run through the house to get food or drinks from the kitchen while studying or watching a movie. Stacked cubbies were built alongside the fridge to house board games, blankets, and other miscellaneous items. Our clients loved the idea of using the orange accent color to paint the inside of the cubbies as well.
