This storied library by Albert Hadley, with its glossy red lacquered woodwork set off by brass mouldings, was fitted with bronze terrace doors and windows. We restored this room as part of our renovation of a duplex with @juliehillmandesign. Photo: @ericpiasecki #peterpennoyerarchitects #peterpennoyer #ad100 #library #lacquer #renovation

Good morning! It may be raining in New York but in this view, the sun is flooding through the whole width of this new house. Here the paneled front entry has a honed limestone floor and the petite vaulted hall leads to the stair hall and stone terrace beyond.

We love this main bedroom in a new house out East...the curve of the tray ceiling follows the curve of the bay resulting in an extra-voluminous window which encomapsses the full length of the room.

A great close up of the crown of the tower of the RCA Victor Building by Cross & Cross…up at the top is open tracery with gold outlining, copper finials, and four fifty-foot-tall effigies meant to be the spirits of radio with radiating headdresses of cast-aluminum rays. The building was designed to represent the exhilaration and excitement of radio communication in the modern age. Photo: @jon.wallen #crossandcross #rcavictor #generalelectric #artdeco #skyscraper

The flat facade of our new house in New Jersey is enriched with a large-scale door surround which engages the frame of the bull's eye window above. The expanses of hand-tooled walls, textured with vertical, horizontal, and diagonal grooves in an adze finish, offer a contrast to the sculptural entry.

This brilliant blue library is set within a mansard roof of a late 19th c. building downtown. The windows are pitched at a 10-degree angle and are set behind a frame composed of a cornice and side panels.

Good morning! The entrance to the F. E. Church house (1930) in Mill Neck, NY by Harrie T. Lindeberg. The house is one of a pair of sister houses Lindeberg designed for two brothers (who married two sisters!). This one has a flattened turret containing the stair, and, typical of Harrie, a tall brooding roof. The gabled entrance porch opens to a large tiled stair hall that runs through the depth of the house. Photo: @jon.wallen #harrietlindeberg

The s-curve of the second floor landing in this new house in Bridgehampton plays off of the stout geometry of engaged and free-standing piers which bracket the transition from the entry to the main hall.

429 Bull Street in Savannah built for Hugh W. Merc

429 Bull Street in Savannah built for Hugh W. Mercer, designed by New York architect John S. Norris and completed in 1868 with further drawings by Muller and Bruyn. Construction began in 1860 but was disrupted by the Civil War. The Italianate-style house is built with deep red bricks called “Philadephia reds.” Norris began his career as a brickmason, then progressed to a builder and architect. He worked in different mid-nineteenth-century revival styles and designed major public and private residences in the south, including the Gothic revival Green-Meldrim house in Savannah. #savannah #mercerhouse #historicsavannah

The basement kitchen in our Massachusetts project

The basement kitchen in our Massachusetts project with @max_rollitt: all of the finishes are new, including the white glazed ceramic tiles which emulate the historic bricks in the original flower room also in the basement of the house. The reclaimed limestone slabs in the floor were imported from France. We love @max_rollitt’s mustard yellow window trim! This project encompassed the complete restoration, inside and out, and renovation of an historic house on the coast of Massachusetts. The house had suffered greatly over the decades, and alterations had destroyed rooms original to the house, including the kitchen, which was a relic from the 1960s.

Good morning from this ruby red bar on the second

Good morning from this ruby red bar on the second floor of our new Czech Cubist house in Ohio! The space is lit by a rhomboid window and is filled with special objects, including a mirror by Carlo Bugatti in ebonized walnut, brass, pewter, and copper, a pair of slender sterling silver liquor goblets by Kolomon Moser, and a silver, jade, and agate tray by Potter-Bentley Studios from 1930. The @wokalampsvienna flush-mounted pointed fixture is based on Josef Hoffmann’s 1901 design for the Villa Henneberg on the Hohe Warte just outside of Vienna.

We are in love with @mitacbland’s @mitacb rendering of our Drawing Room for @kbshowhouse in Palm Beach, opening to the public on March 5. Bright orange grass cloth wraps the room, its textures, patterns, and colors taking cues from the ambrosial flora and fauna of Florida. We are so grateful to the builders, craftspeople, painters, and vendors who are helping us bring this room to life!

A series of images from the compact, stylish house

A series of images from the compact, stylish house Harrie T. Lindeberg designed for Ruby Boyer Miller in 1935. The first image is of the arched gate Lindeberg designed, wrought with shapes of shells and flowers. Lindeberg designed much of the furniture and emphasized the jewel-box quality of the interiors with mirrored panels, stylized architectural details, and an Art Deco stair rail with alternating bars and scrolling curves. Other details included chinoiserie screens dividing the living and dining rooms, neoclassical revolving bookcases and chairs, and tables inspired by Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann to give the rooms cosmopolitan flair. The fourth slide shows Lindeberg’s mirror which reflected an Art Deco fantasy verging on the modern baroque style of Dorothy Draper. The fifth slide shows his night table with its turned-out feet pointing to Swedish influences. First and last photos: @jon.wallen #harrietlindeberg #detroit #grossepointefarms #oldhouse

The faceted plaster ceiling in the double-height oak paneled library of our Czech Cubist-inspired house was inspired by the Baroque-Gothic work of Czech architect Jan Santini Aichel in the early 1700s⁠. Studio Drift’s parachute-like Shylight light installation (2016) extends and retracts from the ceiling and seems to have a life of its own. The room is furnished with a mix of contemporary and mid-century pieces, including a console and coffee table by Ingrid Donat, a grandfather clock by Maarten Baas (2013), a bone-faced custom media cabinet, a pair of Royère Polar Bear chairs, a Coard lamp, and tables by Otto Prutscher and André Sornay. On the wall at right hangs Michaël Borremans’s The Horse (2015), which was so large that it had to be hung before construction was completed; the room was literally built around it!

The restored exterior of Lilliothea, our project in Massachusetts, with @max_rollitt. Originally designed by the Boston firm Winslow & Wetherell as a shingled house, Bigelow & Wadsworth later transformed the cottage into a chateau-esque mansion and encased it in imported French tapestry brick and elaborately carved Indiana limestone. The house sat vacant for years in the 1930s and 40s, was occupied for decades after but never updated. The roof, a complex form in slate with elaborate details, had fallen into great disrepair as there had never been flashing. We salvaged the 5 different colors of slate on the roof and combed through it, managing to save 60% of the original. We then feathered this slate back into the new roof installation. Anywhere that there was a facade and a roof element, we put in new copper flashing. We salvaged all of the original single pane windows, restoring them, installing new storms and screens and flashing and caulking everything. This was an incredibly rewarding multi-year project for a family who wanted to uphold this great house’s character and meticulously restore it.

The decorative ironwork of sunrise motifs and auto

The decorative ironwork of sunrise motifs and automotive gears around the oculus of our Czech-Cubist inspired house in Ohio was inspired by Czech architect Otakar Novotný’s decorative metalwork for a 1921 Prague tenement building (next slide) and was fabricated by @modernmetalsolutions. Novotný studied under Jan Kotěra and was chief architect of his studio in 1904.⁠ Architecture and interior design: PPA, Director of Design: Gregory Gilmartin⁠
