The clients wanted as much space for their books as possible. Integrating the fishtank and an overflow tank (in the cabinet below the pictured tank) and various pieces of equipment to support the tank was a challenge. The clients also wanted to display some of their china.

The McDonough's

Vogue Kitchens

The McDonough's kitchen is all about contrast. The dazzling Leicht Luna-C fronts in Frosty White and the sink worktop in Glacier White provide the perfect backdrop for darker, earthier shades. That gorgeous marble island in Bianco Eclipsia polished quartzite catches the eye straight away, and the glass splashback in Bronze Mirror adds a touch of luxe. The open-plan kitchen and living area works really well in the McDonough's home, and the two rooms complement each other with their unique décor. The whole space is bright, breezy and fun, with a few touches of the unexpected – they’ve added mismatching chairs around the dining table and pendant lighting in obscure shapes. Contemporary accessories, fruit and flowers give the kitchen a colourful, arty feel.

Back Bay townhouse

Boehm Architecture

This 1870’s brick townhouse was purchased by dealers of contemporary art, with the intention of preserving the remaining historical qualities while creating a comfortable and modern home for their family. Each of the five floors has a distinct character and program, unified by a continuously evolving stair system. Custom built-ins lend character and utility to the spaces, including cabinets, bookshelves, desks, beds, benches and a banquette. Lighting, furnishings, fabrics and colors were designed collaboratively with the home owners to compliment their art collection. photo: John Horner
