Bedroom Wall Decor Designs & Ideas

GDG Designworks selected all art, furnishings and lighting for a newly built home in Connecticut. We also consulted on bathroom and kitchen fixtures and finishes.

This project occupies a low ridge at the tip of a small island and is flanked by a beach to either side. The two beaches suggested the image of the two-faced god Janus who was the inspiration for the design. The house is flanked by two large porches, one facing either beach, which offer shelter from the elements while inviting the visitors outdoors. Three buildings are linked together to form a string of buildings that follow the terrain. Massive concrete columns lend strength and support while becoming part of the language of the forest in which the house is situated. Salvaged wood forms the majority of the interior structure and the floors. Light is introduced deep into the house through doors, windows, clerestories, and dormer windows. The house is organized along two long enfilades that order space and invite long views through the building and to the landscape beyond.

This addition consists of a new master suite for a custom built cabin on Decatur Island. While the existing timber frame cabin set the tone for many of the structural elements throughout the project, the added modern details paired well with the cabin’s simple form.
