Technology
to Fit Your
Lifestyle
In city apartments like this luxe NYC
penthouse, space is at a premium, but that
doesn't mean comfort needs to be neglected.
Systems Design & Integration designed and
installed a fully automated Savant control system
so our client can operate their SDI-designed-
and-programmed Lutron Homeworks QS lighting
system, Lutron smart shades, whole house audio,
video, and security cameras, and Coastal Source
outdoor speakers from their phones, iPads,
dedicated touch pads, or a universal remote.
The penthouse's robust home network includes
wireless access points for further ease of use.
We were even able to design a perfectly sized,
fully ventilated AV rack to fit inside a closet,
completely out of sight. To elevate the family
room, a black-grain solid-wood frame custom
designed by Leon Speakers encases the TV and
the sound bar, hiding wires and seamlessly match-
ing the rest of the room for a streamlined look.
From sales, design, and prewire, to installation,
programming, and maintenance, SDI is here to
match your home's technology to your unique
lifestyle. Our projects span the country and
include primary residences and second homes.

Welcome
re you ready?
This fall marks a return to events,
and our season opener, the annual
5 Under 40 Awards celebration, pulls
out all the stops with a new venue—
the recently restored, historic
SoWa Power Station—in the SoWa Art +
Design District, our own ‘hood. I’ve had
my eye on this building for years,
and I can’t wait to see so many of you
and properly fete not only our 2021
winners but the class of 2020 as well.
You can read all about this year’s inductees on page 100.
Soon after, in October, the Luxury Home Design Summit makes the
most of autumn on the Cape as we gather at the Chatham Bars Inn for
long-overdue networking and an in-person exchange of ideas. And
that’s not all: after a year hiatus, the New England Design Hall of Fame
is back with a gala at the InterContinental Boston to honor new
inductees on November 11.
And that’s just us! There are plenty more design-industry events
rolling out this fall—for designers and design enthusiasts alike—and
thank goodness for that because when creatives get together, the
resulting frisson can change lives. Take, for example, a special group
effort fourteen years in the making: as I write this in July, Tommy’s Place,
envisioned by founder Tim O’Connell as a dream vacation home for
families with kids fighting cancer, has just welcomed its first guests.
Professionals from every corner of the residential-design community—
with an assist from interiors maven and HGTV personality
Taniya Nayak—lent their various talent, expertise, and time to craft
this unique kid-centric getaway in Falmouth, Massachusetts, complete
with vibrantly themed guest rooms, indoor and outdoor recreation
space, and an after-hours lounge for the grown-ups.
See you out there, friends.
P.S.
When the SoWa Power Station
was built in 1892, it was the
largest electrical power plant in
the world—and a source of civic
pride for Bostonians living in
the “Hub of the Universe.”
The Central Power Station, as
it was known at the time, was
designed to power the first unified
transportation company in the
country (later the MBTA) and
built to endure functionally as
well as aesthetically. But rapid
advances in technology outpaced
the CPS, and by 1912, it was
no longer needed. The huge triple-
eaved engine room was used to
house old street cars, and, over
the years, gradually fell into
decay. However, the steel-truss
construction and two-foot-thick
walls were still strong when
GTI Properties bought the parcel
of land from the MBT?\ in 1999,
and eventually the time was right
for a full restoration.

cantilevered deck with a

_ t was serendipity,
say Jeffrey Hunter and Janet
Griffin, that led them to the
property they would purchase
in Stonington, Maine. One
day, while summering on the
island, they spotted a For Sale
sign by an abandoned auto-body
shop at the top of a dead-end
road. Further investigation
led them down past an exposed
ledge where they discovered
a dilapidated farmhouse.
While the buildings weren’t
salvageable, the site was
extraordinary—tucked away
and private but overlooking
a bustling navigation channel

with a picturesque parade of boats.
The couple enlisted Elliott Architects,
with JT Loomis taking the lead on the proj-
ect. Their goal was twofold: “the antithesis
of our beautiful 1895 Queen Anne Victorian
in Iowa,” says Hunter, “and a design that
respected the vernacular architecture of
Downeast Maine.”
Loomis responded with a single-story
3,400-square-foot house that, he says,
“starts in that authentic Maine vernacular,
then gets transformed. We veered from
the traditional and gave it a little edge.” The
white cedar shingles, bleached to weather
naturally, nod to the coastal area, but the
overall aesthetic skews modern. Three
gabled structures, roughly the same height
and with eye-catching flat-roof connectors,
serve to bring down the scale of the house
and delineate the interior living plan.

The perpendicular structure contains the
two primary suites, while the two overlap
ping parallel volumes comprise the main
living area. A glass-and-wood connector
bridges the private quarters and family
spaces. A similar, larger connector extends
the living and dining room out into the
landscape, framing stunning views of
the rocky coast and islands beyond.
In fact, incorporating the architecture
into the landscape was a key component of
the project, says Loomis. Todd Richardson
of Richardson & Associates embraced the
existing site conditions—the ledge, the
meadows, the gravel beach—while hearken-
ing back to Stonington’s storied history in
granite quarrying. Huge blocks of granite,

mined from a quarry a mile up the road,
were trucked in and placed perpendicu-
lar to the home. “The blocks extend the
architecture out to the landscape and blur
the boundaries between the two,” explains
Richardson.
They also celebrate a sense of place—a
notion dear to the homeowners. And one
that the design team took to heart. Sums up
Loomis: “The project represents a strong
connection in both form and materiality to
the Maine coast they love.”

A CABIN
BY
THE SEA
The southern coast of Maine exudes a
gentle quality of life that’s all about family,
fun, and the great outdoors. This newly
constructed timber-frame vacation house, built
for a young family with two daughters,
embraces togetherness, especially when it
comes to the kitchen, which connects to dining
and family areas as well as views of the vast
front yard and ocean beyond. Defined by a large
island that sits perfectly between two timber
posts, the kitchen features “a coastal farmhouse
vibe," says interior designer Annsley McAleer,
principal of Annsley Interiors. “The exposed
beams make a strong architectural statement,”
explains the designer, “but the color palette is
beachier. We needed to create a balance with
all of that wood.” To that end, McAleer chose
kelly-green stools by O&G Studio and textural
tiles by Waterworks for the backsplash. The
effect is a casual-meets-practical space that
delivers on its promise. “The family’s relaxed
attitude,” says McAleer, “is reflected in the
way the house looks.”

HIDDEN JOYS
For a family of five with young
children, a hyper-functional kitchen in
their newly constructed Cambridge,
Massachusetts, house was a must.
At the end of a long, open-plan area that
includes a dining room and library, the
kitchen needed to act as a family hub.
“We thought a lot about how we would
use this space,” says Elana Rudiger
of Elana Rudiger Interior Design. “The
kitchen really informed everything
behind it.” One challenge, however,
was bringing light into the room, which
features walnut cabinetry but no win-
dows to the outside. To capture as much
light as possible from other parts of
the house, Rudiger installed a mirrored
hood and backsplash and honed white
Silestone countertops; the latter material
was also installed on one wall, this time

with a polished surface for a subtle
textural change. A glass transom
between the kitchen and family
room helps, too. The design team
also found clever ways to carve out
additional hidden features, such as a
work surface that pulls out of a wall
and connects to the island. A nearby
banquette creates extra seating;
a secret pocket door turns it into a
cozy alcove.

A countertop surface pulls out of a
cabinet wall and connects to the island
via a clever hook and cleat. It also
serves to cordon off the work space

overflow seating with a banquette; a
pocket door tucked behind it slides
out and swivels to turn the space into
a cozy alcove. A television above the
seat folds down for easy viewing.

SUNNY SIDE UP
While some kitchens are mostly for
show, others serve the needs of devoted
cooks. This colorful space in Concord,
Massachusetts, designed for a family
of six, was built for both. As the first
space in view when one steps into
the open-plan home, it needed to be
welcoming and pretty but also operate
as a working kitchen. “The homeowners
wanted a warm and cheerful palette,”
says interior designer Melinda Guglietta,
principal of Bespoke of Winchester,
who drew color inspiration from the
geometric tiles installed on the island’s
base. Because the wife is a passionate
cook who also teaches classes at home
for cancer patients, Guglietta maximized
storage and seating. A previous owner’s

renovations had left the 1963 deck house

details that would strike the right notes
for the family, which includes four teen-
agers and two dogs as well as chickens
and bees in the lush backyard To that
end, the designer chose cabinetry with
classic styling, then subtly modernized
it with low-profile doors and drawers
and streamlined hardware. A custom
oak hood, minimal trim, playful lighting,
and, of course, the sunny palette further
perk things up. “It’s a not-fussy style,”
explains Guglietta, who specializes
in custom kitchens, “and a big mix of

Built in the style of an old

to be right in the center of the action,

When it comes to the built environ-

simplicity rarely start out that way. Such
was the case in a Boston brownstone
apartment, which had steps up and down
throughout the first floor when the
homeowners—two busy professionals
with grown children—purchased it. Lev-
eling it out required rearranging HVAC
ductwork, a tricky operation that “took a

aligned a hallway connecting
the living room and kitchen, creating
a much smoother transition between
spaces. The move allowed interior
designer Nancy Serafini to smartly
divide the kitchen into its functional
parts. Along one wall that abuts the
circulation route, she installed tall
storage cabinets. Across from those

FORWARD THINKING
umerous homes across New England—
from Beacon Hill and Brookline to
Martha’s Vineyard and Seal Harbor,
Maine—feature Boston-based interior
designer Nina Farmer’s indelible imprint.
Earlier this year, the New York School of Interior Design,
Farmer’s alma mater (she also graduated from Tulane
University), awarded her its prestigious Rising Star Award.
But recognition of her work is nothing new: Farmer’s stylish
and thoughtfully executed projects have been published
locally, regionally, and even internationally.
Yet trying to pinpoint a signature style for Farmer is
elusive. She deftly responds to her clients’ needs and wishes,
but in a way that marries both old and new, as well as
traditional with cutting edge.
“I start with the rug and build up from there,” says
Farmer who, as a 2017 New England Home 5 Under 40 winner,
designed her own rug as part of the awards program. “We
always have that foundation as we are building the room.”
From that point on, the sky’s the limit. “We do a big vintage
and antique mix within our projects,” she adds. “It’s seventy-
to eighty-percent found or antique items versus new.”
To balance out the history that accompanies those pieces,
Farmer layers in plush fabrics and unique color palettes (think
indigo blue with acid green accents) that fill her spaces with
an undeniable twenty'-first-century vibe. And her clients,
many of whom are repeat, appreciate the one-of-a-kind
furnishings, even if they’re being shipped from Europe, sight
unseen (except for perhaps a photograph).
“People really want interesting pieces, and they’re willing
to take the chance. Luckily, they do.”
These days, when she’s not in the studio or scouring Paris
flea markets for new finds, you might find Farmer on-site
at a new construction project in New Hampshire or at a 1930s
stone colonial being renovated in Westport, Connecticut
(her hometown). That variety is what keeps the work
exciting for her.
“We have a lens we see the projects through,” says Farmer
of her firm’s work, “whether it’s a rustic lake house or formal
estate property—and everything in between—but they’re all
different. It’s nice to vary the look.” ninafannerinteriors.com

; MEAGHAN MOYNAHAN
Moynahan found her calling
in high school when, as the only
girl in her woodshop class, she
built a cabinet. “That solidified
my going to design school,”
she says. “I think I’ve always
had a passion for millwork.”
That she ended up in kitchen
design was something of a happy
accident. After graduating from the
New England School of Art & Design
at Suffolk University with a BFA in
interior design, she got her first job
at a kitchen design studio. One of her
colleagues happened to be Donna
Venegas. Eventually. Venegas bought
the studio, forming Venegas and
Company. Moynahan stayed on as
lead technical designer and, in 2014,
became director of technical design
for the Boston company.
*We’re very team based,” she says
about her workplace. “That’s the
beauty of it. Great design is all about
collaboration.” As the technical designer,
she’s involved in projects from the
very beginning, working with the sales
designer in an equal partnership. “I offer
design opinions, 1 have a hand in choos-
ing finishes, and 1 help the clients with
career. Moynahan has loved veneers.
“Everything about them intrigues
me—how they are cut. how they can
be arranged, and the overall art and
countless possibilities for layup,*’
she says. She turned to two of her
favorites, figured avodire. a wood
from west and central Africa, and
eucalyptus, as inspiration for her rug.
“Playing with scale and color.
I blended the two veneer cuts into
the design." she explains.

when something comes out and looks
pretty,” she says, “but when you design
something that works the way you
intended, when people move through
the space the way you want them to,
1 consider that artistry, too.”
Her enjoyment of problem-solving
drives Harris the most. “We take what
we’re given—the house and the land—
and we have to work around them,”
she says. “My favorite part of a project is
actually doing all the construction
documents, and watching a space being
built from those documents.”
Harris stresses that the landscape
contractors and others, the ones who
literally do the heavy lifting, are crucial
to her success. “My favorite projects are
ones where we had a solid, experienced,
good team,” she says.
Although she’s surprised to be

round to work at Hutker Architects.
"1 was like, ME!” she says.
Durrell spent five years at
Hutker’s Vineyard office, serving
as the firm’s director of interior
design. In 2019, she started her
own interior design company,
Able Moraine, affirming her com-
mitment to the island.
The company name was inspired
by the island itself, a moraine
formed by a glacial sheet thousands
of years ago. “1 think of the incred-
ible energy and pow er that created
this beautiful place,” Durrell says.
Able, she adds, is a literal refer-
ence to the capabilities of the many
talented people it takes working
together to create beautiful homes.
Able Moraine isn’t island-bound,
however. Durrell and business partner
Paul Commito have projects as far away
as Hawaii. Neither are they bound to
a particular style. “Our work is really
diverse,” Durrell says. 'AVe want it to
be fun. A good fit with our clients is the
most important.”

The #1 Maine

Bridging the gap between generations of whisky drinkers
It all started during a
family dinner with a joking
statement of “lets make our
own whisky.” Father and
son team, Dave and David
Woods have the fascination
to see how things are made,
so a half-hearted joke
turned a bit serious over the
years. They explored the
idea by researching,
studying, and some say
obsessed over how to build
a still and produce alcohol.
By utilizing long forgotten
styles and techniques such
as hand building their
copper pot stills, every dent
and angle uniquely
contributes to the flavor of
their spirits unlike many
mass produced spirits on
the market. Now winning
awards and becoming
internationally recognized,
they realize they have
created something very
special.
At the end of the day
quality is their priority and
what they do best.
Cheers to small business
owners, entrepreneurs, and
freelancers who know the
value of putting in the
elbow grease to fuel
dreams. Wiggly Bridge

team who are building for
future generations.

Pakistan and Afghanistan struggled to surmount the
challenges of COVID-19. "The schools would be open
for a week, then we'd have to close them again," says
the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based organization's
executive director Arti Pandey. "It was a rough year."
We at New England
Home are proud of our long
association with Barakat. Since
the inception of the 5 Under 40
Awards, with the help of New
England’s generous design
community, we’ve raised
$240,000 and counting for the
nonprofit. By auctioning off
the stunning rugs designed by
our 5 Under 40 winners, we’ve
helped 75,000-plus boys, girls,
and women get an education.
With the pandemic on the wane, Barakat has big
plans on the drawing board, says Pandey, including
opening a school in Pakistan that is strictly for girls.
“We need to reinforce the value of girls’ education
because the past year was rougher for girls than
boys,’’ Pandey says.
She’s optimistic that the return to an in-
person auction will help swell the
organization’s coffers. "There is a
real sense of joyousness when people
are able to get together again." she
says. She hopes that joy will translate
to generosity. For more information

Snow and Jones, Inc.
hen remodeling this bath-
room, the client wanted
to combine coastal and
natural elements to create a spa-like
space. Bringing light into the dark
shower stall, creating better organiza-
tion in the vanity space, and replacing
the surrounded tub with a vessel were
key elements that would provide a
more relaxed and airy feel. The client
chose Becky Carbone of Farmhouse
Fresh Interiors and partnered with
Patti (ones at Snow and (ones to make
the perfect plumbing selections.
A custom vanity f rom Mackenzie
Custom Carpentry paired with a
vessel sink enabled the client to have
the look and organization desired.
Rounded squares became the theme,
and a minimalist tub filler allows the
view of native plantings and mature
pines to shine through the back win-
dow. The shower was expanded, and
replacing the outer wall with glass let
natural light in, creating an open and
expansive feeling. Patti chose coor-
dinating fixtures to make the shower
space functional and luxurious.
The client says, “It's been four
months since the completion of our
bathroom, and each morning we look
forward to enjoying this fresh space
all over again!’*

A Paris penthouse my client
rented inspired this project.
There is a paneled refrigera-
tor and a cabinet that hides the small
kitchen appliances, eliminating clut-
ter. The fully equipped cooking island
has an induction cooktop, steam oven,
regular oven, and warming drawer. The
entire kitchen is matte black with a row
of high-gloss black upper cabinets. The
end result of this finish was to enable
the homeowners to see the reflection of
the lake they live on while at their sink.
Every inch of the space is carefully
designed to serve a particular func-
tion. The tall ceilings and abundance of
glass combine with the white floors to
balance the design perfectly. The move-
ment on the marble helps to warm up
the overall design aesthetic. The large
island allows lots of space for prepping,
cooking, and interacting with guests.
As we all know, everyone gathers
around the kitchen—and this one is a
conversation starter for sure!

ewport, Rhode Island,
residents Linda Sawyer
and John Harris craved
a weekend pied-i-terre
with Boston character and
French flair. When they
found a penthouse apartment on Back Bay’s
Marlborough Street, they fell for the prime
location, the private elevator, and the roof-
top deck with 360-degree views of the city
and room for the dogs to play. The second
they closed on the residence, the couple
called their designer. Duncan Hughes had
thoughtfully reworked their Rhode Island
house, and they needed his eye to rethink
their dated 9os-era Boston interiors. Their
one request? Give it a French spin, without
going over the top.

designer Helena Tynell from the 1960s. FACING PAGE:
Paolo dining chairs by Studio Van den Akker keep

“As a child, I loved Paris apartments and
wanted an atelier feel,” says Harris, who
spent nine years of his childhood living
with his family in the French capital.
“We wanted classic yet chic and modem—
that je ne sais quoi.”
To strike this tone the moment you step
off the elevator, Hughes painted the foyer
in a rich turquoise. Overhead, coordinating
hand-painted wallpaper covers the ceiling.
Vintage 1920s sconces and a custom gold
mirror accent a chandelier, the only
pre-redesign element that stayed. “It feels
like entering an old mansion,” Hughes says.
44It’s the most Old World of all the rooms,
and it just envelopes you at the beginning.”
Using a saturated palette throughout,
Hughes went bold with blues in the living

spaces and lit up the walk-in closet with
a glowing Hermes orange—a nod to the
French brand the couple appreciates. Key
materials such as nubby raw linen, mohair,
and velvet further dial in that casual-yet-
sophisticated feel, while black ironwork—
a Parisian signature—adorns the primary'
bathroom’s custom curving shower, one of
many engineering feats the team tackled.
Given the 1940s building was constructed
after Boston’s Cocoanut Grove fire, the
deadliest nightclub fire in history, ten-
inch-thick concrete walls offer a fireproof,
soundproof shell that also made changing
anything and everything tres difficult.
“The whole building is steel beams,
concrete, and terra-cotta blocks,” says FBN
Construction’s Sejal Chander, who served
as a project manager along with Aaron Paz.
“We couldn’t drop the ceilings because they
weren’t terribly high, so even the lighting
plan was a challenge.”

Yet the team found a way (with help via
structural engineering and radar) to devise a
plan that thoughtfully illuminates just
the right corners while leaving others dusky.
The salon-style living room sports blown-
glass sconces flanking a custom marble
fireplace, while the Prussian blue kitchen’s
gold-inlay ceiling panels reflect light and
add to the art deco detail around the apart-
ment. “I call this the anti-kitchen,” Hughes
says. “I do so many big, bright, white,
airy kitchens. This is a late-night kitchen.
It’s sexy* and dark for midnight Champagne,
more like a comfortable club.”
True enough, many evenings end in the
moody kitchen, where the couple cozies
up in the caramel-colored banquettes for
candlelit grilled-cheese sandwiches and cold
Manhattans. Sawyer, a trained chef, loves
the mosaic backsplash of dancing leopards
and the dramatic underwater artwork above
the table. Like everything in the apartment,
the room is filled with interesting elements
that Hughes says simply “make you feel like
you’re somewhere else.”

Beyond the custom-made dining table in
this Chilmark home sits the ‘guest zone,"
which includes a wine refrigerator, small sink,
and coffee station. The door, painted the same
shade of Sherwin-Williams Evergreen Fog
as the kitchen island, leads to the garage.

The dining table, which seats twelve,
is so large it requires two Visual
Comfort lanterns hanging above. The
iron straps on the backs of the chairs
echo the lanterns. FACING PAGE:

worked with on two previous projects.
In addition to a farmhouse-style
guesthouse, the husband longed for an
auxiliary barn “a la Bunny Williams,”
he says, referencing the famed designer’s
Connecticut estate. So a threshing bam
estimated to have been built between
1810 and 1820 was disassembled in Ver-
mont, shipped to the Vineyard,
and reassembled on-site while the
husband watched from his lawn chair,
Diet Coke in hand.
“The barn was the passion of this
project,” says architectural designer
Tom Carberry. “The guesthouse was a
continuation of the barn.”
That continuation translates to a
farmhouse aesthetic that jells with the
181
homeowners’ style and the surrounding
town of Chilmark, historically more
agrarian than maritime. The couple
enlisted Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller
to convey provenance and ambience in
the home’s interiors. Because this space
serves as a guesthouse, primarily for the
couple’s two adult children and their
growing families, easygoing was key. “We
didn’t want to have to hold our breath
about who was doing what where,” says
the wife.
A faux sisal carpet covers the living
room floor, and the position of the
sage-green island in the kitchen makes
buffet-style dinners seamless. A “guest
zone” between the kitchen and dining
room boasts a wine refrigerator, small
sink, and coffee station so visitors can
help themselves without opening every
cupboard in the kitchen, says Carrier.
Though the home was built in 2019,
the design team’s thoughtful touches
detract from its newness. A grasscloth

wallcovering in the living room hearkens
back to the farm that originally stood
on the land, explains Carrier. Reclaimed
old-growth yellow-pine floors convey
timelessness. Sourced from Cataumet
Sawmill, the floors purportedly origi-
nated from McLean Hospital in Belmont,
Massachusetts, during the time when the
hospital treated some of its most famous
patients. “Not everyone can say Sylvia
Plath and James Taylor walked on their
floors,” says the wife with a laugh.
The storytelling extends to the fur-
nishings. Chappaquiddick woodworker
Collins Heavener fabricated the dining
room tabletop from two wood planks
sourced from a sustainable forest in
Suriname. RT Facts in Kent, Connecti-
cut, custom designed the table’s base.
Most of the dining, however, hap-
pens on the screened porch, designed
to be reconfigured at a moment’s notice
depending on the occasion. The porch
connects to both the kitchen and an
outdoor deck with a barbecue. “It’s a
very smart house in terms of the floor
plan,” says Miller. “There’s a practicality
to it along with some wow moments—
it’s a modern, open concept that still
feels timeless and vintage.”
The husband’s must-have bam, of
course, epitomizes the vintage. It houses
183
a Ping-Pong table and sitting area and
has served as everything from a gender-
reveal-party location to a kid’s rainy-day
roller-skating rink. Making it even more
poignant, the bam was the final project
of Ken Epworth, owner of now-shuttered
Vermont-based The Bam People, who
passed away shortly after the rebuild
was complete. Epworth sat right next to
the husband in his own lawn chair and
explained the ins and outs of the entire
process during the reconstruction.
“The barn was a crazy, wonderful
addition,” says the wife. ‘‘One look at
it, and there’s no doubt you’re in farm
country, not whaling country’.”

It was time to downsize. Or was it?
After some forty years in their much-loved, century-
old, Newton, Massachusetts, home, the owners,
who had raised a family in the 6,000-square-foot
English manor-style space, decided it was time to
sell and buy something smaller. “Their children were
grown, and they’d been empty nesters for a while,”
says David Boronkay, owner of the architectural
firm Slocum Hall Design Group. “They planned to
move to a condo being built in Boston.”
However, when the couple walked through
the new condo, they changed their minds. “They
felt it was simply too small and didn’t meet all their
needs,” remembers Boronkay. “So they decided
to renovate and redesign their Newton home to give
them everything they wanted.”
While a modern kitchen sourced from kitchen
manufacturer SieMatic in Boston topped their must-
have list, the scope of the restyling soon expanded.

-INTERIOR DESIGNER CAROLINA TRESS-BALSBALGH
After consulting with Boronkay and interior
designers Manuel de Santaren and Carolina
Tress-Balsbaugh, the couple decided to redo their
furnishings and transform their second-floor
primary suite by replacing a guest bedroom,
sunroom, and bathroom with his-and-her closets
and bathrooms and a sitting room. The second floor
also includes a guest bedroom and office.
Other additions included a new attached garage
and a radiant-heated cobblestone driveway.
“We heated the driveway so there would be no
worries about slipping or falling on ice,” explains
Boronkay. “It was a real team eflfort making these
changes. Also, because the owners had lived in
the home for so long, they knew exactly what they
wanted to add and change. That made all of our
jobs that much easier.”
When Marc Kaplan, president of Sanford Custom
Builders, learned of the changes the couple envi-
sioned, he suggested upgrading and reengineering
all the home’s services, from electric to plumbing to
HVAC. “The job became a total gut renovation,” he

remembers. “We tore all of the home’s plaster and
lath walls down to the studs so the subcontractors
could add new wiring, plumbing, and a hydro-air
heating system.” The high-tech heating system
replaced a former hot-water system, so all radiators
were removed. The team also added new trim, base-
boards, and crown molding throughout the home.
Instead of replacing the plaster walls with drywall,
they used blue board—which lends itself to smooth-
er textures—with a plaster coating. “The walls still
have that classic plaster look,” Kaplan explains.
Because the owners have an extensive art col-
lection, especially paintings, the interior designers
chose a neutral color palette that features creams,
grays, and robin’s-egg blue so as not to overpower
the artwork.
“We worked hard to keep it simple,” says Tress-
Balsbaugh. “There’s a sense of continuity—and
consistency—throughout the house that helps create
logical transitions from one room to another.”
For example, the kitchen’s wooden floors are painted
light gray to echo the color scheme used elsewhere
in the home.
Boronkay speaks for the entire design team when
he says, “It is a very beautiful older home, and we
all worked together to respect the architecture of
the house while pleasing the owners. It was a labor
of love.”

The brother and sister who approached
architect Marcus Gleysteen for ideas about de-
signing their shared retreat on New Hampshire’s
Lake Sunapee hadn’t thought much about this
blue-water, white-water thing before.
But, says the sister, “As soon as he started
talking about it, I knew the kind of light he was
talking about.” They also knew that Gleysteen’s
focus on the lake—rather than the conventional
rules of what a lake house ought to look like-
meant he was the architect they needed to hire.
“He understood that we didn’t want some
fantasy, that we wanted him to guide us in
designing a house to fit the site,” her brother
adds. “He understands how architecture is part
of nature.”
Nature already had a decisive hand in the
project. In 2014, a lightning strike destroyed
the forty-something-year-old house on the lot,
which was owned by the siblings’ father. His
two children bought the property from him and
planned to build a peaceful, low-maintenance
retreat for both their families.

Gleysteen and project architect Robyn
Gentile began by reorienting the existing
footprint to the south to maximize those
luscious blue-water views. From there,
the 4,836-square-foot house took shape as
an assemblage of rectangles, with wide
windows facing the lake. The interior was
organized accordingly: rooms where their
clients would spend the most time—the
two primary bedroom suites, living room,
dining area, and kitchen—face the lake,
with windows that open to admit air from
multiple directions. “The sensory connec-
tion to the landscape—being able to listen
to the lake, feel the breeze, and have the
view, the daylight—is very important,”
says Gentile.
Yet Gleysteen and Gentile didn’t plan
to invite all of the lake’s sights and sounds
inside. The removal of trees damaged by the

lightning strike left the property exposed
to a continuous parade of kayakers, water-
skiers, and pontoon boats. So the architects
lifted the windows in the upper bedrooms
and added a lake-facing pergola for shelter
and a visual barrier. Strategic plantings by
landscape architects Pellettieri Associates
also reestablished boundaries.
Other factors shaped the house as
well. A twenty-five-foot height restriction,
coupled with the clients' desire to offset
energy consumption, translated to a flat
roof that maximizes ceiling heights while
hiding a forty-six-panel solar array. Com-
bining photovoltaics with a high-velocity
hydro-air-conditioning system and
meticulously sealed exterior walls qualified
the house as net-zero, meaning it can
generate as much energy as it uses, says
builder Tony Bourque.

ceilings, heart-pine floors, and handmade

solar panels that supply the house with

meanwhile, lets homeowners engage with
passersby—or not. “You can hang out and
wave to the boats, or turn your back, keep
your shades on, and focus on your book,"

designer Atsu Gunther let the color and
craftsmanship of those elements stand out,
with a limited palette of black and white.
Furnishings, chosen by the homeowners
with recommendations from Gunther, mix
vintage and easy-care pieces with a casual
mien that fits the home’s purpose as well
as its design. “The house is a piece of
sculpture that you live in,” says Gleysteen.
“It has to function as a house, and it has to
be livable. You can’t let beauty compromise
function, and you can’t let function
compromise beauty.”

A few perfect places for fall leaf peeping, by maria lapiana
FARM INGOLT
This fifty-eight-acre estate features a
unique provenance, a prized location, and
something for everyone. It includes historic
Runnymede, a working equestrian farm once
owned by Peter Fuller, a philanthropist and
thoroughbred expert who bred and kept
horses there until the early 1980s. The prop-
erty is in North Hampton, New Hampshire,
on the banks of the Little River, an estuary
stall bam, paddocks, a
riding/jumping arena, and
a caretaker’s residence,
but the farm is just one
of five parcels included
in the sale. Designed in
the classic Shingle style
in 2003, the elegant
main residence sits on
that flows to the ocean. Listing agent Tony
Jalbert describes it as a peaceful seaside spot
with ocean views, amid rolling meadows and
pastures, with river and marsh frontage pro-
tected by extensive conservation land. Such a
diverse landscape makes for some lovely fall
foliage viewing. The farm includes a twelve-
approximately nine acres.
There’s a carriage house with garage and
guest quarters above; a separate, charming
guesthouse (with a 6,ooo-square-foot stor-
age building behind it); and yes, a sheep bam
that includes some nine acres of electrified
fencing for livestock grazing. Jalbert, who
has listed and visited his fair share of luxury’
properties, says he has quite simply never
seen anything like this one.

including a showstopping staircase with
an exquisite balustrade. The common
rooms have a clubby feel: there’s a formal
dining room and expansive kitchen, three
bedroom suites, a gym, and an executive

tavern, chapel, boathouse, multiple staff

barn, storage barns, and sundry' multi-use

someone to take care of the majestic

FINE ART
Designed to impress as much as showcase
an extensive art collection, this Stowe,
Vermont, property is both rustic and re-
fined. Listing agent Geoffrey Wolcott likes
to describe it as the epitome of “casual lux-
ury.” Indeed, it is luxurious. The home was
thoughtfully constructed of the finest natu-
ral materials—hammered stone, polished
steel, smooth heart pine. The floor plan is
open, and yet there are places that invite
solitude. Expansive windows and multiple
outdoor spaces offer a variety of vantage
points from which to enjoy the changing
seasons. This property’s list of amenities
includes a lavish owner’s
suite housed in a two-
story' tower, a separate
guesthouse, and an
Ipe-and-steel bridge that
leads through a hemlock
forest to a gallery/studio
with translucent roof.
Staff quarters perch

above heated garages that can accommo-
date twelve-plus vehicles. An eighteen-hole
miniature golf course, sculpture garden,
and pond stocked with rainbow trout offer
recreation opportunities. But even with
all that luxury, the home exudes a sense of
casualness; it’s not formal or fussy in any
way. Wolcott loves the ease with which you
move through its rooms, how approachable
it is, and the many ways it welcomes you.

While many of us were enjoying
some much-deserved downtime
during the summer, the design
community stayed busy.
Boston’s rapidly develop-

continues to get better and better.
Ailanthus moved from the Boston
Design Center to 540 Harrison
Avenue. The showroom, renamed
Ailanthus on Harrison, continues
to carry the same roster of brands,
including Baker, Lloyd Flanders, and
John Lyle, to name a few. Danielle
Schimanski has taken ownership of
the showroom after working there
for many years.
Charles Spada also moved
to the neighborhood. This iconic
Boston showroom, known for its
selection of fine antiques and
bespoke furniture, lighting, and
fabrics, is now located at 500
Harrison Avenue.
Not to be outdone, Boston’s
Beacon Hill welcomed J. Grady
Home to bustling Charles Street
in July. The design studio and shop
features a variety of home decor
such as Matouk linens, lighting from
Dunes and Duchess, and trays from
The Lacquer Company. Don’t worry
North Shore residents, J. Grady’s

Herman Miller opened a new

A Touch of Glass
arlier this year, Grade, maker of hand-painted wallpaper,
and mosaic-designer New Ravenna announced a
collaboration that brings a sense of movement to both
art forms. New Ravenna’s master mosaicists interpreted
five Grade designs, each chosen for its international
and historical themes.
Family matriarch Linda Grade's travels through Italy
inspired the Romanesque Linda’s Garden (pictured
above). Blythedunes takes its cue from antique Chinese
wallpaper. Stylized Japanese streams and plum blossoms
appear in Wave and Blossom. Late Parisian designer
Armand-Albert Rateau’s trees influenced French Deco,
and Waves pays tribute to a seventeenth-century hand-
painted Japanese screen as well as the Grade family’s
love of the ocean.
The mosaics, customizable according to size and
color, can be found in showrooms throughout Massa-
chusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire, newravenna.com
