These clients came to my office looking for an architect who could design their "empty nest" home that would be the focus of their soon to be extended family. A place where the kids and grand kids would want to hang out: with a pool, open family room/ kitchen, garden; but also one-story so there wouldn't be any unnecessary stairs to climb. They wanted the design to feel like "old Pasadena" with the coziness and attention to detail that the era embraced. My sensibilities led me to recall the wonderful classic mansions of San Marino, so I designed a manor house clad in trim Bluestone with a steep French slate roof and clean white entry, eave and dormer moldings that would blend organically with the future hardscape plan and thoughtfully landscaped grounds. The site was a deep, flat lot that had been half of the old Joan Crawford estate; the part that had an abandoned swimming pool and small cabana. I envisioned a pavilion filled with natural light set in a beautifully planted park with garden views from all sides. Having a one-story house allowed for tall and interesting shaped ceilings that carved into the sheer angles of the roof. The most private area of the house would be the central loggia with skylights ensconced in a deep woodwork lattice grid and would be reminiscent of the outdoor “Salas” found in early Californian homes. The family would soon gather there and enjoy warm afternoons and the wonderfully cool evening hours together. Working with interior designer Jeffrey Hitchcock, we designed an open family room/kitchen with high dark wood beamed ceilings, dormer windows for daylight, custom raised panel cabinetry, granite counters and a textured glass tile splash. Natural light and gentle breezes flow through the many French doors and windows located to accommodate not only the garden views, but the prevailing sun and wind as well. The graceful living room features a dramatic vaulted white painted wood ceiling and grand fireplace flanked by generous double hung French windows and elegant drapery. A deeply cased opening draws one into the wainscot paneled dining room that is highlighted by hand painted scenic wallpaper and a barrel vaulted ceiling. The walnut paneled library opens up to reveal the waterfall feature in the back garden. Equally picturesque and restful is the view from the rotunda in the master bedroom suite.

The family room in this Bloomfield Hills residence was a part of a whole house renovation and addition, completed in 2016. Having spaces that were a staple to traditional family life were very important to the clients, so a warm, inviting family was designed. Centered in this room is a full-masonry, milled stone fireplace with a milled stone hearth and mantle. To help open the space up and pull in more natural light, an arched lantern (transoms) was created. This lantern features wood ceilings and beams, complemented with paneled walls and detailed trim. On both sides of the fireplace are built-in bookshelves and cabinets. The furniture and décor further accentuate the warmth of the room by utilizing earth, blue, and cream tones.

The homeowners could not agree on what would go above the fireplace. The wife insisted a painting and the husband wanted a TV. Problem solved! The TV is hidden behind a framed scrolling canvas. With the touch of the remote, the image goes from Monet's sailboats to ESPN!
