The spacious solarium opens to the surrounding greenery and is perfect for hosting elegant indoor/outdoor affairs.

Artwork by Adam Feibelman, a friend of the owners, adorns one wall, joined by the Roger Stool from Sika-Design, through the Danish Design Store. The coffee table was made from a stone remnant from the kitchen.

The red rock of the fireplace façade became smooth drywall with an elongated concrete hearth. “We fireproofed it with a layer of fireproofing between the actual fire insert and the outside walls,” notes Mattingly of the application.

The first floor is constantly evolving, but ultimately, the homeowners want it to feel layered and warm—ideal for family time and evening relaxation.
