Ideas For Lance Ranch

Keep an eye out for pops of color around Whitlock's house. The window frames, door, and kitchen all make use of lively hues to add a burst of character.

The front hallway links the living room to the kitchen and dining area. The existing apartment was originally a manufacturing loft space. NYC lofts being long and narrow with windows typically only at the front and rear façades can be somewhat dark. With this in mind we designed the apartment to have light filled spaces via rooftop skylights. Here a photo series by Bernd and Hilla Becher are washed with natural light from a large drum skylight not yet visible from this perspective. The hallway ceiling echoes the drum skylight with Munkegaard fixtures, one of our favorites from Louis Poulsen.

At the opposite end of the house, the soaking tub gets almost daily use. The bath and shower fixtures are by Dornbracht

This home's open kitchen, living, and dining area includes a small pantry and an office, but the cedar cladding is the showstopper.

A custom-tailored mechanism allows six floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors to open along the entire width of the living space, creating a seamless transition from indoors to out.

Protected by an overhang, and floating above ground level, this tertiary space is known in traditional homes as the "engawa." To sustain a unified look throughout, the floor and ceiling are clad in ipe wood.

In the kitchen, teak-and- thermofoil cabinets and Caesarstone countertops mix with Miele appliances—wall ovens, induction cooktop, hood, and microwave—and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The kitchen sink and faucet are by Blanco. The owners, who split their time between Fishers Island and Great Britain, found the vintage pendant lamps at Lassco architectural salvage.

Cantilevered Roof Dining

Wakeland goes to work on the garden terraces where the couple grows much of their own food.

Thanks to Matthew Hufft, their envelope-pushing architect and longtime friend, Hannah and Paul Catlett have a new home in southwestern Missouri that’s a fresh, unconventional take on the traditional farmhouse.

Bird Chairs, Diamond Chairs, and Dining Chairs by Harry Bertoia provide ample seating on this cantilevered porch, which is screened in by a delicate copper mesh and provides views of the expansive Dow Gardens—connected by an Asian-inspired footbridge.

Nestled on the banks of the St. Croix River in Minnesota, this contemporary home merges the living room with an expansive deck with a disappearing Ultimate Multi-Slide Door by Marvin.

The custom island also features a cut-out shelf.

In the living room, a Nelson bench doubles as a coffee table, and a wood-burning stove from Cleanburn Stoves set in a white brick hearth keeps the space warm.

A double-height space encompasses the kitchen, dining and living area, and features 36-feet-wide glass doors that pocket into southern and northern walls.
