Clawson Architects designed the Main Entry/Stair Hall, flooding the space with natural light on both the first and second floors while enhancing views and circulation with more thoughtful space allocations and period details. The AIA Gold Medal Winner, this design was not a Renovation or Restoration but a Re envisioned Design. The original before pictures can be seen on our web site at www.clawsonarchitects.com The design for the stair is available for purchase. Please contact us at 973-313-2724 for more information.

This vibrant open plan kitchen diner has a fun lighthearted feel with bold splashes of colour, injecting personality to the plain white walls and cabinetry. All cabinetry and the dining table is fully bespoke, designed and installed by Amberth. David Giles

The study has its own pair of French doors to the wrap around porch, as well as a “secret” back stair leading up to the new master bedroom.

Builder: Markay Johnson Construction visit: www.mjconstruction.com Project Details: Located on a beautiful corner lot of just over one acre, this sumptuous home presents Country French styling – with leaded glass windows, half-timber accents, and a steeply pitched roof finished in varying shades of slate. Completed in 2006, the home is magnificently appointed with traditional appeal and classic elegance surrounding a vast center terrace that accommodates indoor/outdoor living so easily. Distressed walnut floors span the main living areas, numerous rooms are accented with a bowed wall of windows, and ceilings are architecturally interesting and unique. There are 4 additional upstairs bedroom suites with the convenience of a second family room, plus a fully equipped guest house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Equally impressive are the resort-inspired grounds, which include a beautiful pool and spa just beyond the center terrace and all finished in Connecticut bluestone. A sport court, vast stretches of level lawn, and English gardens manicured to perfection complete the setting. Photographer: Bernard Andre Photography

Formal Dining area - Interior renovation

This project won in the 2013 Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh Housing Excellence Award for Best Urban Renewal Renovation Project. The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house. George Mendel

Cottage staircase

Working with the clients from the early stages, we were able to create the exact contemporary seaside home that they dreamt up after a recent stay in a luxurious escape in New Zealand. Slate cladding and granite floor tiles are used both externally and internally to create continuous flow to the garden and upper terraces. A minimal but comfortable feel was achieved using a palette of cool greys with accents of lime green and dusky orange echoeing the colours within the planting and evening skies. Photo: Joe McCarthy
