This 2800 sf single-family home was completed in 2009. The clients desired an intimate, yet dynamic family residence that reflected the beauty of the site and the lifestyle of the San Juan Islands. The house was built to be both a place to gather for large dinners with friends and family as well as a cozy home for the couple when they are there alone.
The project is located on a stunning, but cripplingly-restricted site overlooking Griffin Bay on San Juan Island. The most practical area to build was exactly where three beautiful old growth trees had already chosen to live. A prior architect, in a prior design, had proposed chopping them down and building right in the middle of the site. From our perspective, the trees were an important essence of the site and respectfully had to be preserved. As a result we squeezed the programmatic requirements, kept the clients on a square foot restriction and pressed tight against property setbacks.
The delineate concept is a stone wall that sweeps from the parking to the entry, through the house and out the other side, terminating in a hook that nestles the master shower. This is the symbolic and functional shield between the public road and the private living spaces of the home owners. All the primary living spaces and the master suite are on the water side, the remaining rooms are tucked into the hill on the road side of the wall.
Off-setting the solid massing of the stone walls is a pavilion which grabs the views and the light to the south, east and west. Built in a position to be hammered by the winter storms the pavilion, while light and airy in appearance and feeling, is constructed of glass, steel, stout wood timbers and doors with a stone roof and a slate floor. The glass pavilion is anchored by two concrete panel chimneys; the windows are steel framed and the exterior skin is of powder coated steel sheathing.
Iris Kaplow Landscapes, Inc.This Moroccan inspired Rooftop Garden in Chelsea features many outdoor rooms with pergolas, fencing, fiberglass containers, statues, and outdoor seating. This layered container garden is a plethora of different specimen plants- both flowering and evergreen, which provide for brilliant contrasting textures as well as a greater sense of depth.
Amber Freda Garden DesignIn designing this rooftop garden overlooking Central Park, one of our main objectives was to not interrupt the spectacular view. We chose low plantings of ornamental grasses, creeping Jenny, sedum, and thyme in fiberglass planters. We love the eclectic feeling of this garden with its oversized mirror to reflect the light, contemporary lamp, and plush two-toned furniture. Our client also selected an antique one-of-a-kind metal urn, in which we planted a Knockout rose bush, surrounded by grasses and annual flowers. Brown bamboo fencing helps warm up a rather plain looking brick wall. See more of our projects at www.amberfreda.com.
Crawford PracticeThis second floor roof terrace was converted to an outdoor playroom by employing softer surfaces underfoot, a wall garden, and a metal paneled wall with movable magnetic silhouettes.
