Our client had a desire to reinstate and recreate the unique wooden glasshouse that they were lucky enough to have in the grounds of their home, which they moved into around 20 years ago. Our client decided to replace the structure in aluminium, as it is far more durable than wood, with very little maintenance. The glasshouse no longer houses plants, but instead is available to hire for events and photoshoots. It is attached at the rear to the original wall which separates but also joins it to the original potting sheds and boiler house brickwork complex at the back, now restored and developed into beautifully furnished accommodation.

Great Room featuring exposed beams, natural stone, and a beautiful view of the Lake.

Restoration of Shingle style / Queen Anne home in coastal New Hampshire with welcoming fireplace in Front foyer. Original wood work, Barley twist stair banister, and original seat.

Reminiscent of a 1910 Shingle Style, this new stone and cedar shake home welcomes guests through a classic doorway framing a view of the Long Island Sound beyond. Paired Tuscan columns add formality to the graceful front porch.

The commission consisted of the design of a new English Manor House on a secluded 24 acre plot of land. The property included water features, rolling grass areas at the front and a steep section of woods at the rear. The project required the procurement of permits from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Conservation and a variance from the Mendham Zoning Board of Appeals. The stately Colonial Manor is entirely clad in Pennsylvania stone, has slate roofs, copper gutters and leaders, and lavish interior finishes. It comprises six Bedroom Suites, each with its own Bathroom, plus an apartment over the garages, and eight garage bays. The house was designed with energy efficiency in mind, and incorporates the highest R-value insulation throughout, low-E, argon-filled insulating windows and patio doors, a geothermal HVAC system, and energy-efficient appliances.

Walls upholstered in pale blue wool satin and custom made silk and wool Tibetan rug create a peaceful refuge. The television is concealed in a custom designed Italian style cabinet with hydrolic lift. King sized four poster bed, designed by Michael Whaley, is made up with luxurious Italian linens.
