A courtyard house in Williamsburg

Posted on Mon, 12 Jun 2023 by KiM

Nestled on a quiet street is an unassuming slate blue garage facade, behind which exists a rare courtyard house with industrial roots. The two-story house was designed to serve the dual purpose of the client’s home and working space. Creating a dialogue that connects the private and public zones was the main consideration in approaching the design for this two bedroom and two and a half bathroom residence. A focus was to also enhance the ease of flow between the multiple living spaces presented by the circular architecture of the courtyard. The indoor and outdoor; private and communal blend seamlessly with generous access to light and air. Each area within the home, with its own design identity, is interconnected. Here lies the beautiful balance of unity in a courtyard house.

An 1880’s renovation in Minneapolis

HALLELUJAH!!! Designer Anne McDonald did not paint the wood work in this home! That along with the moody wallpapered dining room, the classic European-style kitchen and the dramatic eye-candy bathrooms, is how you totally nail a 1880’s renovation. I AM IN LOVE! Photos: Wing Ho.

Whimsy in Fort Lauderdale

“Peace, serenity, and escape—that’s the feeling this home evokes. Floridian Harbour is designed to be an architectural dreamscape filled with whimsical details, island motifs, and entertaining features for ultimate relaxation. The project was a ground-up home designed in collaboration with Smith and Moore Architects based out of Palm Beach, known for their classic yet innovative projects.”

It’s about ease, luxury, wellness, and comfort. Impactful but liveable. Floridian Harbour by Los Angeles-based Studio Jake Arnold.

“Warmth and character were of the utmost importance when designing this Eagle Rock ground up new construction. Modern lighting, clean lines, beautiful vaulted ceilings and an attention to detail gave the home a consistent, jaw dropping presence—all while feeling equally intimate and cozy.”

Mixing Japandi-style and a natural materials palette this complete remodel not only created a stylish contemporary home but also an equally smart secondary housing unit. EagleRock Modern by A1000xBetter.

“The client wanted to maintain the rich history and tradition forged by their parents and grandparents while creating a beautiful updated space in which they could forge new memories and traditions. The details and client’s history of the land, lake and home allowed us to be very creative, playful and add to the integrity of the home’s significance and lifetimes of memories to come. We challenged ourselves to hold the history of the home while enriching the space with the needs of our clients’ growing young family and future generations.”

Curated, warm and textured. Strong bones with moments of surprise and attention to detail characterize the unique work of Nicole Green Design House and their Lake Winnipesaukee Project.
