Set against the wooded backdrop of Sullivan County, the Yoga Barn is a newly constructed wellness retreat inspired by the region’s agrarian heritage. Commissioned as a ground-up project to honor the client’s desire for a barnlike presence, the design translates familiar rural language into a contemporary studio for yoga and meditation.
A simple gabled mass anchors the building in the landscape; exposed timber framing and vertical wood siding recall local barns while a rustic material palette keeps the expression farmhouse contemporary. Generous glazing on the southern elevation draws daylight deep into the volume and frames views of the surrounding forest.
Inside, an open studio volume celebrates the exposed structure and natural materials; radiant floor heating, acoustic treatments, and operable windows ensure comfort and quietude.
The Yoga Barn is a thoughtful interpretation of vernacular precedent—grounded, luminous, and purpose-built.
Sited on a wide infill lot, the Cottage Avenue Home reinterprets vernacular domestic forms through a contemporary, modest lens. The new-build residence prioritizes spatial richness within modest proportions, balancing pragmatic materials and careful detailing.
The house presents a subtle gabled form with stucco cladding and thoughtfully scaled openings. A recessed entry porch and choreographed sequence of framed views create a measured sense of arrival. Internally, a central stair organizes the plan; open living spaces on the ground floor connect to a compact rear yard while bedrooms nest beneath the roofline. Durable, tactile materials—flat panel millwork, white oak flooring, and exposed framing—create warmth and clarity.
The project demonstrates how disciplined vernacular and spatial generosity can coexist on a standard urban parcel.
The Moreno Extension expands a family home with a carefully measured addition sited along the west side of the existing house. The project balances continuity and contrast—respectful proportion and a deliberately different material expression that signals newness while honoring the original.
The addition’s low-slung roofline and simplified massing echo the main house’s proportions. Exterior aluminum cladding mimicking reverse board-and-batten provides a tactile counterpoint to the existing façade, articulating the intervention without disruption. Interior finishes continue a material dialogue: wood floors and tiled walls mirror the main house’s surfaces to create a seamless transition, while a continuous ceiling plane and full-height glazing along the south facing wall draw daylight into the new volume. Naturally finished millwork and woven textiles reinforce a contemporary character.
The extension is a calibrated evolution: modest in gesture, generous in effect.
The 15-45 Kitchen Renovation reimagines a modest galley kitchen into a warm, functional centerpiece for a newly married couple. The design elevates everyday rituals through spatial clarity, material tactility, and precise interventions that enhance flow without extensive restructuring.
Working within the existing footprint, the scheme opens sightlines to adjacent living areas and introduces a reconfigured peninsula that functions for prep, dining, and social interaction. Flat panel cabinetry, quartz countertops, and subway tile backsplash form a tactile, economical palette; glass front cabinets and modest lighting strategies create airiness and layered illumination.
The renovation prioritizes lived experience, shaping a compact kitchen that supports connection and daily ritual.
