ABOVE: Seven-foot wood paneling provides for easy cleanup
and repair when necessary in a home for a growing family.
The mirror over the fireplace is a technical feat. The glass
itself is mounted on a lift mechanism that carries it up and
into the hidden pocket above, while the frame remains
stationary to surround the television behind. The execution
was challenging, as a load-bearing beam for the second
floor is located very near the top of the fireplace.
RIGHT: When entering the home—an example of AOME's
more formal and traditional approach—a balcony that
connects both sides of the upstairs delays the reveal of the
expansive living beyond similar in principal to the previous
featured home. Bright white wood paneling and coffering
details on the ceiling add to the dressed up feeling of the
space.
FACING PAGE TOP: A modern twist on a traditional seaside
cottage, the home features a large outdoor room right off the
kitchen that is covered by a glass trellis—making it seem
completely open to the sky. Expansive windows allow for
ample light on sunny days and multiple views of the water at
the edge of the yard.
FACING PAGE BOTTOM: A custom 6-foot range draws the eye
and becomes the central focus of the kitchen. Two sets of
matching cabinets flank the hood on either side, creating
symmetry when paired with the three fixtures over the marble-
topped central island. Just beyond is the glass-surrounded
dining area that takes advantage of the views.
