THE BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES
OF NEW CONSTRUCTION

"There are always challenges in designing a new
home," said Sean Mullin, AIA, project architect
and director of design with Anthony Wilder Design/Build. Although the architecture and design
team did not have to worry about pre-existing
conditions or finishes and were working with a
blank slate, the challenge came from the home's
size pushing against allowable lot coverage.
Zoning regulations and height issues also
had to be handled. In this home, the attic offers livable space and provides the eldest child
a somewhat independent suite comprising a
bedroom, bathroom and sitting area. Layering
the home's layout reduced the overall impact
to the street view and maintained sensitivity
to the neighborhood.

A MASTER RETREAT

TYING THE KITCHEN TO THE HOME

A focal point of the four-story, 5,171-sq.-ft. house, the
kitchen features large entrances to the family room and
dining area, which allow the space to feel open and airy.
The clients asked not to have any wasted space,so working with a modest 210 square feet, Kadwell carefully
created zones in the kitchen, which she said is efficient
and works well for the family.
The workhorse island provides the busy family with the best function
and day-to-day living. Many of the home's rooms are visible from this
island, making it ideal for entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, a large
pantry increases storage and connects to the mudroom.
"This kitchen has many unique features and elegant shapes within its
footprint," said Kadwell, adding that one of which is the custom range
hood. "We had a fine furniture maker expertly bend wood to create the
graceful slope of the hood, which mimics the family room fireplace."
The arched opening to the living room offers a direct view of the
custom stucco, French country-inspired grand fireplace, which ties the
rooms together and is one of the homeowners' favorite features. The
furniture look was carried to the pass-through base cabinets, which
feature furniture feet.
"I love how the kitchen has visual control over a number of spaces in
the house," said Mullin.
The perimeter cabinets are white, while the island reverses the
scheme with copper black cabinets and an organic white surface.
The contrast provides interest and variation in the space and allows
details like the various metals to emerge, according to Kadwell. The
palette selection allows the island to coordinate with the remainder
of the house, as well as command attention as it stands out from the
perimeter cabinets.
Above the island, round globe pendants pick up the curves within the
arched openings and curved wall corners. The brass and black reflect the
cabinet hardware finishes and dark trim of the windows. Another metallic accent appears in the herringbone pattern, Calacatta gold backsplash, which features warm gold veining amidst cooler tones of gray.
"Mixing metals gives you some visual interest so you stop and pay
more attention," said Kadwell, who admits that not everyone is brave
enough to do so. "The client was actually open to mixing them. She
was a lot of fun to work with."

TOP In the master bathroom,
the large window above the
tub serves as a focal point
from all areas of the room.
ABOVE, INSET Inspired by a

chrysanthemum, the master
bathroom floor mosaic features inlays of mother of pearl
and white marble.

BELOW One of the daughters

helped select colors for her
bathroom, choosing to add her
favorite blue in two applications.

Kadwell brought the understated elegance of the
kitchen into the design of the master bathroom.
With 158 square feet, the bathroom has an open
floor plan where each space also feels private
thanks to features like a cutout wall, corner shower
placement and a water closet.
"A lot of [the design] is according to the
clients' needs and how they wanted to use the
space," said Kadwell.
They requested a bathing area separated
from the shower and asked for an opulent feel.
A large focal window lets in ample natural
light, and higher ceilings provide a sense of
openness. A freestanding tub sits under the
window across from the custom frameless
shower. The double vanity was paired with
concealed medicine cabinets, which offer hidden storage. The bathroom's elegance is completed with a decorative mosaic along the floor.
"The inspiration for the inlay was a tile rug
in the bathroom," said Kadwell, who added
that mother of pearl and white marble designed in a chrysanthemum pattern give the
room sparkle.
