Complete reconfiguration of that house changes the location of the kitchen and moved the entry to make space for spacious formal living room. New kitchen was designed to be between dining room and family room.

This LEED Platinum certified house reflects the homeowner's desire for an exceptionally healthy and comfortable living environment, within a traditional neighborhood. INFILL SITE. The family, who moved from another area of Wellesley, sought out this property to be within walking distance of the high school and downtown area. An existing structure on the tight lot was removed to make way for the new home. 84% of the construction waste, from both the previous structure and the new home, was diverted from a landfill. ZED designed to preserve the existing mature trees on the perimeter of the property to minimize site impacts, and to maintain the character of the neighborhood as well as privacy on the site. EXTERIOR EXPRESSION. The street facade of the home relates to the local New England vernacular. The rear uses contemporary language, a nod to the family’s Californian roots, to incorporate a roof deck, solar panels, outdoor living space, and the backyard swimming pool. ZED’s careful planning avoided to the need to face the garage doors towards the street, a common syndrome of a narrow lot. THOUGHTFUL SPACE. Homes with dual entries can often result in duplicate and unused spaces. In this home, the everyday and formal entry areas are one and the same; the front and garage doors share the entry program of coat closets, mudroom storage with bench for removing your shoes, and a laundry room with generous closets for the children's sporting equipment. The entry area leads directly to the living space, encompassing the kitchen, dining and sitting area areas in an L-shaped open plan arrangement. The kitchen is placed at the south-west corner of the space to allow for a strong connection to the dining, sitting and outdoor living spaces. A fire pit on the deck satisfies the family’s desire for an open flame while a sealed gas fireplace is used indoors - ZED’s preference after omitting gas burning appliances completely from an airtight home. A small study, with a window seat, is conveniently located just off of the living space. A first floor guest bedroom includes an accessible bathroom for aging visitors and can be used as a master suite to accommodate aging in place. HEALTHY LIVING. The client requested a home that was easy to clean and would provide a respite from seasonal allergies and common contaminants that are found in many indoor spaces. ZED selected easy to clean solid surface flooring throughout, provided ample space for cleaning supplies on each floor, and designed a mechanical system with ventilation that provides a constant supply of fresh outdoor air. ZED selected durable materials, finishes, cabinetry, and casework with low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and no added urea formaldehyde. YEAR-ROUND COMFORT. The home is super insulated and air-tight, paired with high performance triple-paned windows, to ensure it is draft-free throughout the winter (even when in front of the large windows and doors). ZED designed a right-sized heating and cooling system to pair with the thermally improved building enclosure to ensure year-round comfort. The glazing on the home maximizes passive solar gains, and facilitates cross ventilation and daylighting. ENERGY EFFICIENT. As one of the most energy efficient houses built to date in Wellesley, the home highlights a practical solution for Massachusetts. First, the building enclosure reduces the largest energy requirement for typical houses (heating). Super-insulation, exceptional air sealing, a thermally broken wall assembly, triple pane windows, and passive solar gain combine for a sizable heating load reduction. Second, within the house only efficient systems consume energy. These include an air source heat pump for heating & cooling, a heat pump hot water heater, LED lighting, energy recovery ventilation, and high efficiency appliances. Lastly, photovoltaics provide renewable energy help offset energy consumption. The result is an 89% reduction in energy use compared to a similar brand new home built to code requirements. RESILIENT. The home will fare well in extreme weather events. During a winter power outage, heat loss will be very slow due to the super-insulated and airtight envelope– taking multiple days to drop to 60 degrees even with no heat source. An engineered drainage system, paired with careful the detailing of the foundation, will help to keep the finished basement dry. A generator will provide full operation of the all-electric house during a power outage. OVERALL. The home is a reflection of the family goals and an expression of their values, beautifully enabling health, comfort, safety, resilience, and utility, all while respecting the planet.

The Hamptons Modern

Betty Wasserman Art & Interiors: The Hamptons

A modern home in The Hamptons with some pretty unique features! Warm and cool colors adorn the interior, setting off different moods in each room. From the moody burgundy-colored TV room to the refreshing and modern living room, every space a style of its own. We integrated a unique mix of elements, including wooden room dividers, slate tile flooring, and concrete tile walls. This unusual pairing of materials really came together to produce a stunning modern-contemporary design. Artwork & one-of-a-kind lighting were also utilized throughout the home for dramatic effects. The outer-space artwork in the dining area is a perfect example of how we were able to keep the home minimal but powerful. Project completed by New York interior design firm Betty Wasserman Art & Interiors, which serves New York City, as well as across the tri-state area and in The Hamptons.

True to its name, the living room is where the family comes together to meet, greet, watch TV and play games. Most Indian homes have only one hall and hence the living room designs may vary to serve different functions. If you’re lucky enough to have more than one drawing room, you may make your living space a separate, more formal area away from the den or relaxing lounge. It can be tricky to get the balance right when you have to take so many functions into consideration, so browse through these living room ideas before you start planning your own.

How do I determine my living room design?

The utility of your living room or den will be the prime factor in picking a style and design. The living room was originally intended to be a sophisticated setting for hosting and entertaining, while the family room was used for more casual, everyday activities, like lounging or watching TV. However, if your home has only one large room you can use a multifunctional living room design and layout. If you’re starting from scratch, first think about the static elements of the living room, like plug sockets, TV port, phone socket, doorways etc. You don’t want to have arranged all your living room furniture and decor only to discover you’ve placed your TV on the opposite side of the room to the aerial and sockets. Next, think about the layout of the other elements, like furniture. Every space will have design challenges, so think of living room ideas that accommodate all the seating and decor elements well. It’s best to think about your seating as the main focus of the living room. You don’t want your sofa or armchairs to overcrowd your sitting room but you need there to be enough seating space for everyone. Lastly, you can add decor and storage elements that match the intended style.

How do I choose a living room colour scheme?

The living, or drawing room, showcases your style and taste, but sometimes it can be difficult to decide on a colour scheme that will fit with the space you already have. Start by identifying a focal point or object of inspiration, like a painted wall, a piece furniture or any prominent living room decor, to determine the dominant colour. Once you have determined your living room colour try to understand how other colours can be used as an accents. Remember, it is easier to match colours if the dominant colour is neutral. Working with accents is easy as you can create both bold and subtle looks to match your style.

What kind of living room furniture should I have?

Given the multifunctionality of living rooms, you’ll want to be sure to incorporate different pieces of furniture to cover all possible activities. Depending on the layout of the living room you can add sofas, sectionals and armchairs for basic seating. Also, add some variety to the seating by creating a floor arrangement or window seating; these are great options for a small living room. Other must-haves include a coffee table and bar cart if you use the room as a lounge or entertainment space. Add a few shelves and built-in storage to house any electronics and accessories, or a bookcase to keep books, picture frames and knickknacks in check.

How do I decorate my living room?

Living rooms have no hard-and-fast decor rules. All decor items must blend in to reflect the style of the space and the rest of the house. The only rule to remember while decorating is to not go overboard with neutrals or colours. You can achieve a good balance by deciding the colour schemes in advance. If you want to experiment with many colours then opt for neutral colour wall paints and furniture. Similarly, if you want your sofa to be a the element of colour then scale back the decor so they don’t fight for attention. Also, don’t forget about the mid-sized items, like rugs, throws, decorative pillows, curtains and indoor plants which can double as functional and decorative when done right. Think carefully about living room lighting as it plays an important role in enhancing the overall space. Add elements like living room ceiling lights or spot lighting to illuminate the room or a piece of art. Browse through many living room images to define your style and create an inviting space.
