The challenge: take a run-of-the mill colonial-style house and turn it into a vibrant, Cape Cod beach home. The creative and resourceful crew at SV Design rose to the occasion and rethought the box. Given a coveted location and cherished ocean view on a challenging lot, SV’s architects looked for the best bang for the buck to expand where possible and open up the home inside and out. Windows were added to take advantage of views and outdoor spaces—also maximizing water-views were added in key locations. The result: a home that causes the neighbors to stop the new owners and express their appreciation for making such a stunning improvement. A home to accommodate everyone and many years of enjoyment to come.

Replacing the existing gray vinyl siding with fresh, white fiber cement panels gave the exterior a big lift. The vertical orientation of the board-and-batten profile and sleek black aluminum-clad replacement windows come a long way in creating the contemporary exterior. The updated front entry completes the modern makeover with its chunky overhang, gray-painted slab door, single-panel sidelight, and vertical stainless mail slot and house numbers.

Built upon a hillside of terraces overlooking Lake Ohakuri (part of the Waikato River system), this modern farmhouse has been designed to capture the breathtaking lake views from almost every room. The house is comprised of two offset pavilions linked by a hallway. The gabled forms are clad in black Linea weatherboard. Combined with the white-trim windows and reclaimed brick chimney this home takes on the traditional barn/farmhouse look the owners were keen to create. The bedroom pavilion is set back while the living zone pushes forward to follow the course of the river. The kitchen is located in the middle of the floorplan, close to a covered patio. The interior styling combines old-fashioned French Country with hard-industrial, featuring modern country-style white cabinetry; exposed white trusses with black-metal brackets and industrial metal pendants over the kitchen island bench. Unique pieces such as the bathroom vanity top (crafted from a huge slab of macrocarpa) add to the charm of this home. The whole house is geothermally heated from an on-site bore, so there is seldom the need to light a fire.

This custom home completed in 2020 by Hibbs Homes and was designed by Jim Bujelski Architects. This modern-prairie style home features wood and brick cladding and a hipped roof.

The site for this new house was specifically selected for its proximity to nature while remaining connected to the urban amenities of Arlington and DC. From the beginning, the homeowners were mindful of the environmental impact of this house, so the goal was to get the project LEED certified. Even though the owner’s programmatic needs ultimately grew the house to almost 8,000 square feet, the design team was able to obtain LEED Silver for the project. The first floor houses the public spaces of the program: living, dining, kitchen, family room, power room, library, mudroom and screened porch. The second and third floors contain the master suite, four bedrooms, office, three bathrooms and laundry. The entire basement is dedicated to recreational spaces which include a billiard room, craft room, exercise room, media room and a wine cellar. To minimize the mass of the house, the architects designed low bearing roofs to reduce the height from above, while bringing the ground plain up by specifying local Carder Rock stone for the foundation walls. The landscape around the house further anchored the house by installing retaining walls using the same stone as the foundation. The remaining areas on the property were heavily landscaped with climate appropriate vegetation, retaining walls, and minimal turf. Other LEED elements include LED lighting, geothermal heating system, heat-pump water heater, FSA certified woods, low VOC paints and high R-value insulation and windows.
