Windows
Complete opposite of this cover photo-avoid anything resembling that! Likes: thin panes and trim, drywall returns with wood interior frame, restrained use of living edge sills (photos 6 and 7), restrained use of deep/sitting/shelf windows. Unless the window is a passageway to the outside the windows do not have to go all the way to the floor (and if radiant heating is used, low profile radiators can line below). Windows in bedrooms and along the back patio will need curtains. Others may not need any treatments.
While the interior design is mellow, the house was a social hub (or at least it was pre-pandemic), frequently the site of games nights and jams. The open space here, in a pinch, could also comfortably host a small house show. (It was the perfect size for the 75 guests at the couple's post-wedding brunch earlier in the year.)
The living room, dining room, and kitchen are distinct spaces while still being very open. “It was fun to come up with a slightly different approach to an open living concept,” Herrmann says. The artwork on the left is by Sonnenzimmer. The abstract on the right is by Ludovic Philippon, a painter in the South of France.
The living area is oriented around a floating window seat crafted from oak. "We wanted a place for guests to comfortably sit, read, and reflect in the beautiful Colorado surroundings," says Tarah. "We sourced the perfect slab of white oak from a local mill. We kept the edges raw and used a light, matte finish that highlighted the natural beauty without it being over saturated. I wanted it to feel as unfinished and natural as possible."
Butler Armsden Architects and Leverone Design reimagined this family retreat in Sea Ranch, a 1960s planned community that stretches 10 miles along the Pacific coastline in Sonoma County, California. Clear, vertical grain fir wraps the interior, while ample windows offer stunning glimpses of the sea and surrounding meadows.
The Lost Cottage vacation rental is nestled in the remote lakeside town of Treangarriv in County Kerry, Ireland. The principal bedroom features a massive picture window that looks out over Caragh Lake and the surrounding farmland. A glass roof was also installed above the sunken tub in the bathroom so that guests can gaze up at the stars in the International Dark Sky Reserve.
