Artist Christa Wilm made seashell mosaics on netting to create the intricate design on the grotto walls
Adamesque elements in the bay window alcove off the library include the oak-and-mahogany floor and the ceiling ornamentation. The period English Sheraton chairs and English Regency rosewood table invite reading by natural light.
Seashells line the back wall of the spa area, creating a grotto effect enhanced by a waterfall, stalactite chandelier, and illuminated artwork in a chamber reached by swimming under the waterfall.
On the building’s lower level, a vaulted marble room includes a raised stage ideal for performances by the homeowner’s young grandchildren.
Hand-waxed pine shelves and millwork were designed to create a library evocative of an English Country estate; the urn-shaped details on the custom bronze balcony railing and the sunburst window above the fireplace recall the period style of Bellevue House.
The exterior of the library/nymphaeum recently completed on the grounds of Newport, Rhode Island’s Bellevue House features such Federal-era details as the demilune and bay windows and the ornamented pediment. The lap pool leads toward the library, and there are cabanas on the right.

A behind-the-scenes look at smart home technology, all neatly wired and planned for future updates (necessary in a quickly evolving field).
Wall controls provide you access to your customized smart home scenes at the touch of a button and give you convenient access to your home’s security.
Speakers in smart homes are often invisible or blended into the wall so that the technology remains discreet while providing immersive experiences.
Home automation takes a fun spin in this home bowling alley and indoor pool, highlighted by Ketra lighting and Lutron shades.
Smart home controls are available in a wide range of styles and finishes to blend into any home’s aesthetics.
Overlooking the historic Back Bay of Boston, this art-deco mansion leverages home automation to create a smart home based on comfort and convenience.
“One of the nice things about the site are the diagonal views captured at various vantage points around the property,” says Elliott Architects’s JT Loomis about the Maine retreat
Large granite blocks pay homage to Stonington’s history as a quarry town.
Owner Janet Griffin’s quilting studio doubles as guest quarters; the quilting layouts pinned on the far wall disguise a Murphy bed.
A new detached garage is visible on one side of the glass connector while the coast unfolds on the other side.
Looking up at the house from the shore, the private left wing contains the primary suites, while the right side comprises the kitchen, living/dining areas, office, and guest room.
A deck off the office boasts beautiful views; the boardwalk leads out to a firepit, and the flat-roof connector, which does double duty as a gallery, links to the living room and kitchen.
The flat-roof connector widens the living and dining rooms; the cantilevered deck with a covered porch and glass rail is a scenic spot for morning coffee.
The two primary bedrooms are situated for maximum lake exposure, but the windows are positioned to guard the occupants’ privacy.
The adjoining bath features a glass-tile shower and deep soaking tub from Victoria + Albert.
Sunlight plays through gaps in a pergola under which a wall of sliding glass doors connects the kitchen and living area to the outdoors.
Handmade tiles from Heath Ceramics and Douglas fir ceilings bring the colors of nature into the living room.
The contemporary kitchen picks up the same color of tile used around the living room fireplace to brighten a recessed wall with open shelving. A blend of heartwood and sapwood in the Douglas fir island and ceilings creates a range of honeyed tones that complement the reclaimed heart-pine floors and vintage counter stools.
Stocky fir beams with steel detailing frame the custom door at the main entrance. At a glance, the home’s simplicity belies the high craftsmanship behind it. “There was a lot of behind-the-scenes work to make everything line up,” says builder Tony Bourque.
Rather than dictate style, interior designer Atsu Gunther directed her clients to sources that offered the unique, handcrafted look they desired. Croft House, in Los Angeles, became a favorite, supplying the living room’s sofa, marble-topped table, and cabinet. Gunther unified the pieces with a rug from Landry & Arcari Rugs and Carpeting, a painting by Boston artist John Vinton, and a striking photograph by Roger Palframan.
Designed by Marcus Gleysteen Architects, this contemporary Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire, retreat throws off traditional notions of what a lake house should look like.
Passing boaters see no sign of the rooftop solar panels that supply the house with electricity. The lake-facing pergola, 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,” says Gleysteen.
A walnut-and-metal dining table designed by Gleysteen catches sunlight from across the room. The globular lighting is by Bocci.
A concrete coffee table from CB2 anchors a seating area facing the outdoor fireplace. Stones that project slightly from the fireplace face are used to hold candles at night.
A shiplap wall and handcrafted bed from Croft House introduce texture without disturbing the room’s simple lines.
Paolo dining chairs by Studio Van den Akker keep company with a vintage bar cabinet by Baker.
The stark black-and-white palette of the primary bath reflects the curving metal-and-glass shower created with the help of West Wareham, Massachusetts’s Make Architectural Metalworking.
The kitchen’s leopard-themed glass mosaic backsplash features 24-karat gold leaf and adds another Old World element.
Art deco lines repeat in the primary bedroom, where a headboard feels architectural alongside a mirrored nightstand that holds a jewel-like lamp.
The powder room goes glam with gold Zoffany wallpaper, a vintage Italian mirror, and bubble-glass sconces by Finnish designer Helena Tynell from the 1960s.
The living room boasts a very French seating configuration with scattered, informal velvet chairs and sofas that can be rearranged to accommodate entertaining in the style of a Parisian salon.
A Cole & Son wallcovering on the foyer’s ceiling coordinates with the aqua-blue wall color. Stained oak, natural maple, and walnut comprise the inlay floor.
Brassworks Fine Home Details created the custom marble fireplace surrounds.
Deep blues drench the family room where a lounger and sofa from The Bright Group mix with a pair of Casa Design Group swivel chairs and an original oil painting, Twilight, Arcadia, by Dan Goozee.
French doors, painted the same lush Farrow & Ball Sugar Bag Light as the rest of the foyer, lead to the living room.
Custom scalloped mirrors in gloss black from Mecox make waves with bath fixtures from Lefroy Brooks’s 1900 Classic Black collection..
To create this “anti-kitchen,” designer Duncan Hughes skipped whites altogether and opted for Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue walls, made even more mesmerizing with original artwork by Eric Zener. Leather banquettes and gold Jonathan Adler chairs add to the clubby feel.
Lion-head wall lights from Vaughan flank the fireplace in the primary bedroom, while the walk-in closet glows Hermès orange.
On the private roof-deck, the couple can soak up 360-degree views from their teak Casa Design Group chairs.
A geometric smoky-gray rug anchors the living room, which features a new statuary marble fireplace surround, twin swivel chairs, and leather and wood-framed couches.

The home’s former kitchen space was gutted, reconfigured, and replaced with a kitchen built by SieMatic that includes a marble-topped island.
The renovation of the 100-plus-year-old English manor-style home included new landscaping by Symbio Design.
Like the rest of the home’s renovation, the entryway/foyer was stripped back to the studs. New custom paneling, painted white to open up the space, replaced the original dark paneling.
In the dining room, a still life by Israeli artist Ori Gersht overlooks a Dakota Jackson Macassar ebony table lit by Ralph Pucci’s Oval Cumulus fabric-and-nickel chandelier.
A painting by Sigalit Landau hangs on the dining room wall; the custom-made ebonized china chest features high-gloss ebony-veneer cabinet doors.
The small, cozy den/TV room includes cream-colored curtains, gold-leaf wallpaper on the ceiling, and walls painted aubergine.
The newly designed dressing room includes custom-made built-ins with glass doors, a bench, and an island-like marble-topped chest of drawers lit by a glass-globed chandelier.
A small settee and a drink table in the bedroom set the scene for relaxation.
The primary bedroom showcases a leather headboard, lavender-and-cream satin curtains, and matching bedside tables.
The kitchen’s custom-designed banquette is made of faux leather to help, as designer Carolina Tress-Balsbaugh notes, breakfasters “slide into” the space. The wood table is from Keith Fritz, and the painting is by Melanie Daniel.
The home’s standing-seam aluminum roof matches the roof on the nearby barn. “It’s a nod to a simple agricultural metal roof,” says architectural designer Tom Carberry.
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.
