Residential energy use accounts for approximately 20% of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. We have built 

homes that flip the equation and generate more energy than they use. When you are outdoors playing with your family 

and friends, think about the world you want to live in and what you can build. Then ask your architect for a net-zero, highperformance 

home. We can make a difference together.

Create The Home You’ve Always Wanted

FROM THE PUBLISHER 

THE DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES 

As I sit down to write my publisher’s page, I always try 

hard not to repeat what I have said in years past—all 

23 of them. Before COVID-19 hit, I’ve said things like: 

“Invest in your home, the years of comfort and joy will 

pay off.” I’ve called the home “your sanctuary” and 

“your safe haven” and have written that “you define 

what comfort, luxury and safety means to your family.” 

And I could go on… Yet never have those words rung 

so true as they do now. 

Self-quarantining this past year has shown our resilience 

and strength. Our homes were transformed to make 

home offices and makeshift gyms for adults and kids. 

When the weather broke, we threw ourselves into our yards (an utter understatement 

for me), creating backyard oases large and small. Our homes have certainly been put 

to the test, and we are now fully aware of what we love and what could be improved. 

So, once again, I say look no further than the pages in this 24 th annual edition to see 

the best of the best in the home industry. And, may I add, DO NOT procrastinate in 

doing that next build or renovation; get it going now! The home industry is busy, but 

the lag time for services and products is challenging given the current climate, and 

you need to plan ahead for all the right reasons. 

Lastly, let me again use this space to properly thank the homeowners for letting us into 

their homes and properties to photograph and showcase the work of the professionals 

within this publication. The fact that they opened their doors to us, masks on our 

faces, to do what we do is incredible and a massive testament to just how much they 

value the talent of the professionals included here. And to our advertisers, who have 

supported BDG during these unsettling and unprecedented times, we thank you. Our 

readers need you more than ever. 

God bless our country and stay safe!

AN ENTRANCE 

Whether lined by delicate, fresh-faced blooms, shocks of greenery, gated or 

carved in stone, these inspired pathways say welcome, beautifully. 

1. Traditional and contemporary elements harmonize in a tulip-lined gateway conceived by Matthew 

Cunningham Landscape Design. Here, antique Rockport granite meets blackened stainless steel art 

and an incredible show of spring bulbs. Landscape construction by Martin Lucyk Landscape Construction 

2. Granite walls and a stepping stone path lead the residents of a Duxbury property, cultivated by 

a Blade of Grass, to an enticing pool and patio beyond the wooden gate. Bursts of hydrangea and 

other bayside plantings soften the vista’s hard lines. Photo by Charles Mayer 

3. Thanks to Onyx Corporation, a Concord home heightens its connection to the landscape with 

drama and tranquility. Rectangular, black granite steps “float” over the glassy waters of a reflection 

pool that sits undisturbed beside a blue-gray terrace. Photo by Warren Patterson 

4. Flanked by natural grasses, hedges and bountiful container plantings, the walkway of a shingled 

Nantucket estate brings a bit of fanfare as it ascends from the yard to the veranda. With its lush 

freedom and hints of formality, Gregory Lombardi Design’s inspired landscape design captures the 

essence of the island. Landscape contracting by Atlantic Landscaping; photo by Richard Mandelkorn

Formal, carefree, historic or Japanese in spirit, these edens were carefully 

cultivated to delight the senses. 

1. This slice of paradise on Cape Cod, installed and maintained by the landscape artisans at Schumacher 

Companies is sunny and resplendent. The garden’s pleasing symmetry, punctuated by circular urns in 

full bloom and a sculpture at its center, invites nature lovers to stay awhile. Photo by Mitch Harper

the terrain’s perimeter. Landscape construction by Phil Mastroianni Corp.; photo by Matthew Cunningham 

3. R.P. Marzilli & Company revived the exquisite beds and beauty of Newport, Rhode Island’s historic 

Blue Garden. The landscape professionals installed a comprehensive new planting plan—a glorious 

palette of texture and fields of purple and blue—that will preserve the intent of the private garden’s 

1913 design for posterity. Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architecture; photo by Marianne Lee Photography 

4. Spectacular and serene, this traditional Japanese Strolling Garden by Zen Associates was made 

for contemplation. Its features, including waterfalls, islands, bridges and tree and plant material, 

like a rare weeping hemlock, and mountain laurel and azaleas for spring color, were designed to 

inspire moments of peace and pause.

OUTDOOR LIV 

Family playgrounds by the sea, courtyard living rooms and convivial 

poolside terraces bring the art of living en plein air to higher ground. 

1. This multitiered living space is a contemporary urban oasis in Boston’s South End. Crafted by 

a Blade of Grass for an avid entertainer, this striking enclosure uses every inch to its advantage, and 

includes fire and water features, artful lighting, an outdoor kitchen and lounge seating. 

2. R.P. Marzilli & Company carved this family paradise with a seaside lookout from an existing terrain of 

slope and ledge. Breathtaking by night and by day, the outdoor living areas include a bluestone dining 

terrace, fire pit, infinity pool and dramatic fire piers that alight the pool wall. Landscape architecture by Tucker

3. This fire feature and terrace, designed by Gregory Lombardi Design and constructed by Landscape 

Creations, is part of an outdoor program that offers family-centric “rooms” for every season. This feelgood

HARBOR LIGHT 

RELATIONSHIPS SHINE IN A LANDMARK BOSTON RENOVATION. 

At the outset of a renovation in Boston’s iconic Rowes 

Wharf building, after the homeowners announced their 

objectives, the residents, the team at FBN Construction, 

and architects David Foley and Paul Fiore of Foley Fiore 

Architecture formed a huddle, extending their arms in 

the middle, football style. Just after the shout, “One, 

two, three, break!” and the release of hands came 

“the touchdown,” explains President Bob Ernst of FBN 

Construction, the moment that crystallizes the shared goals 

and convictions of the project’s key players. “That’s where 

you want to get to,” he says, a place without egos or 

competing agendas wholly focused on the client’s vision. 

Foley Fiore Architecture has worked with FBN 

Construction for 20 years, and the firms have established 

an equal relationship founded on transparency, openness 

and trust. “We respect each other’s strengths, says 

Principal Architect Paul Fiore, standing within the 

waterside living room of their latest endeavor, a flawless 

unit on Rowes Wharf. “And boundaries,” adds Ernst, 

completing the sentence, leaving little doubt that their 

collaborative approach and rapport benefits the builds 

they tackle together. 

Especially when a project is a bit of a puzzle. Such is the 

case for this particular home, a gut renovation in which 

the architects sought to reposition the placement of the 

kitchen to the back, inner corner of the living space in 

order to expand the home’s sparkling harborside views. 

“It’s not that big a space,” says David Foley, who served 

as the lead architect on the project, “but that single move 

could mean everything.” 


Rather than wasting time, and saying, I wonder if we 

could?, Foley Fiore posed the question to FBN Vice 

President and Project Manager Bob Murray, whose staff 

has worked within all corners of this building for 20 years 

and is intimately acquainted with the systems and bones of 

the building and what can and can’t be done—though the 

latter never sits well with the firm. 

“We are loath to say, ‘You can’t do that,’” says Ernst; 

instead, FBN willingly investigates improbabilities and 

finds creative solutions. Usually it’s the available utilities, 

drains, water and concrete slab floors that are the hurdle. 

And while those considerations aren’t as sexy to discuss as, 

say, backlit bars, custom kitchens and plush window seats, 

those are the very considerations that, once deciphered, 

allow the aforementioned—and more glamorous— 

features to exist. “We work with the architect to tweak the 

design to accommodate the limitations,” shares Ernst, 

“without being a limiting factor ourselves.” 

There is also a sense of great warmth and texture. The 

color palette leans heavily on taupe, with some gray 

striations, to offset the cool watery blues and blue-greens, 

and even the metalwork, found in the door frames, 

shelving and surrounding the fireplace, was cast in an 

inviting patina. The overall effect—of the build itself and 

the views—is beguiling. The setting “is beautiful at all 

times,” says Foley, before mentioning that he always 

looked forward to coming to the jobsite. Imagine then, 

how it must feel to come home.

And this home is better for it. Getting the green light to 

reposition the kitchen enabled the architects to completely 

rework the unit into an open, seamless living space that 

flows from the new kitchen, bar and dining area into the 

living room, a more private sitting area, and, ultimately, 

the master bedroom and a beautiful marble bathroom. 

The redesign enabled the team to use the three windows, 

and their ever-changing panoramas, to full advantage, and 

reimagine the setting to reflect what Foley calls a “warm 

modern” aesthetic. 

The result is a city sanctuary that showcases exquisite 

materials and craftsmanship. Custom cabinetry abounds, 

and Foley worked with Principal Designer Mariette 

Barsoum of Divine Design Center on the design details 

of the kitchen, bar and a storage area by the dining table. 

Together, they selected Doca cabinetry—a contemporary, 

Spanish line—finished in a custom paint and a rift sawn oak 

stain, and angled the kitchen around a striking peninsula 

with a tapered design and a quartzite top. “The idea was 

to carve out amazing storage even within a small space,” 

says Barsoum, “and to have everything concealed.” 

While the home is “crisp and modern, there is a sense 

of tradition, too,” says Foley. Inspired detailing, like 

graduated, stepped baseboards and moldings, and 

a current take on a coffered ceiling, allow the owners’ 

collection of clocks and antiques to feel at home even 

within the home’s modern lines. 

Top, the architects changed the position of the powder-room 

door to create a space of its own, separate from the laundry and 

utilities. Inside, it’s a textural feast, with concrete tiles from Ann 

Sacks and Keystone Basalt Combed Tile by Waterworks inlaid by 

Installations Plus; left, a second sitting area was originally a guest 

room, and it still functions as such, thanks to its pullout couch. 

Jake Ducharme of Metalmorfis and Chris Rice of Furniture Design 

Services collaborated on the fireplace wall. Ducharme fabricated 

the steel surround while Rice crafted the rift sawn stained oak 

millwork. The electric fireplace is by European Home.

At BDG, we’ve followed the projects of Doreve Nicholaeff, 

principal of Nicholaeff Architecture + Design for years 

with respect, admiration and more than a little awe. We’ve 

experienced an extended cupola on the Cape overlooking 

the bay and walked a brick and cedar shingle revelation in 

Brookline. And while traditional homes and arcing forms are well 

represented within her body of work, her portfolio may not tell 

the full story. We caught up with Nicholaeff to learn more about 

her current work, her compositional approach, and why you’ll 

never sell a traditionalist on a modern design. The professional 

statements here, and her explanations, may surprise you…. 

Behind the Boards

ARCHITECT DOREVE NICHOLAEFF DIVULGES DESIGN 

NOTES AND PHILOSOPHIES, AND BRAVE NEW WORK. 

Doreve Nicholaeff can take a hard line. 

People look at our work and think: “She only does curves.” 

But that is just not true. While radial elements can be 

really special at the right moment—there is no question 

about it—the geometry of a home depends on the person, 

on the piece of property and on the type of aesthetic 

someone is looking for. 

Though based in Osterville, Nicholaeff isn’t solely a 

Cape Cod architect. She often crosses the bridge. 

While we do have a number of projects under way on 

Cape Cod, we also have a project in Newport right now 

and are working on a few projects in the Boston area. 

Her background is steeped in modern design, and she 

would like to do more of it. 

I grew up in South Africa, where the architecture was 

more modern than it is in New England. When I came to the 

Northeast, it was eye-opening how traditional people were. 

I am finding now that people are in search of transitional 

ideas and are more open to a different aesthetic. 

That said, you cannot sell a very modern house to a 

traditional person. 

As an architect, I try to immerse myself in the clients’ 

wishes and dreams. Where a client grew up and what 

they’ve been exposed to influences their mindset. It’s as 

if you’re acting a part, and trying to understand what they 

are looking for. I push as much as I possibly can, but I know 

when to back off. The satisfaction of doing a project that 

makes the client happy is enormous—and you’ll never make 

a person happy if they come from a traditional background 

and you put them in a modern house. It just doesn’t work. 

Nicholaeff championed an indoor-outdoor connection 

long before it was popular. 

For me, it has always been about how you relate interior 

to exterior. Always. It’s not a new thing. It is about the 

relationship to the site, how the pieces fit on the land and 

how they relate to the sun. And if there are no views, how 

do you create those views and work with the environment? 

She thinks as a sculptor as well as an architect. 

I definitely think very carefully about how pieces fit 

together architecturally. It’s not just about one piece being 

attached to another; it really has to merge together. It’s 

about the composition. 

Nicholaeff’s structures inspire emotional responses. 

There is a deliberate sense of calm to the spaces I create. 

There are also moments of suspense and surprise. It’s not 

just a room I’m creating. It’s more poetic. 

There is no ‘one’ dream project. 

Every project has a unique quality to it. Once I get into it, 

I always develop a special part and we work off that. Right 

now, for example, we are working on a modern tree house 

with a floating deck on one end that blends in with the 

trees. It is cool and stunning, so stay tuned.

A 

finely detailed new home in Brookline is big on character 

and elegance—not compromise. 

Within the bucolic neighborhood of Brookline’s Pill Hill, 

a historic district so named for the doctors in residence 

who wanted an idyllic locale and proximity to Boston’s top 

hospitals, lies a surprise of a house designed by Meyer 

& Meyer Architecture and Interiors. The finely-detailed 

home, which sits atop a leafy slope, is a revelation for a few 

reasons. Firstly, at only 4,000 square feet, it represents a 

departure from the 15,000-square-foot estates, and 

castles, even, for which the elite architectural and interior 

design firm is known. Secondly, it was created for a young 

developer and his family, who saw value in embedding a 

new home within the enclave’s architectural fabric that 

looks every bit the part of its well-established neighbors. 

Homeowners have choices when designing a new home. 

“‘New’ doesn’t have to mean different,” underscores Cofounder 

and Principal Interior Designer Laura Meyer. “It 

can mean anything that is important to the client.” In this 

case, that means a medium-sized residence with plenty of 

character and specialty details that reinforce the integrity 

of the neighborhood. The beauty of this home is that it fits 

in, asserts Principal Architect and Co-Founder John Meyer. 

“It’s not taking as much as it’s giving back.” 

At Meyer & Meyer, “the creativity of the architecture isn’t 

found in the style of home, it’s what’s underneath,”John 

continues. For that, the firm draws on its wealth of design 

skills, culled from decades of conceiving palatial estates, to 

create a refined “home within reach.” Says John, “We can 

play with the dimensions and the proportions and stretch 

it across the lot in a way that makes it look just as elegant 

as any of the 12,000-square-foot homes in its midst.” As for 

the interiors? Artful tactics—positioning a striking dining 

room within eyeshot of the foyer, designing a ceremonious 

stair that ascends to the second floor, wrapping a corner of 

the kitchen with an expanse of windows—give the living 

spaces a feeling of grace and grandeur. 

Best of all, its owners won’t feel compelled to downsize 

once the kids have grown. “It’s designed for a lifetime,” 

says John, “and your kids, and kids’ kids. It’s part of the 

family.” Visit meyerandmeyerarchitects.com to learn more.

New 

A FORMER WORKERS' COTTAGE IN WESTWOOD 

IS GIVEN 21ST-CENTURY FLAIR 

Bob O’Connor Photography 

It isn’t often that one gets the chance to rewrite history. Yet McCormack Builders was given just such 

an opportunity when the custom contractor gave a former 1800s-eras workers’ cottage a new lease 

on life. The dwelling had previously housed the staff of a well-to-do Westwood landowner, who 

resided in the Georgian mansion up the hill. Now, centuries later, the home has been reimagined 

by Brown Fenollosa Architects, Inc. and 

reconstructed to serve a modern family. 

The main house with an attached barn was one of a 

few structures on a historic, seven-acre property to 

be reborn over the course of 15 years, in phases. An 

old icehouse, which was razed and resurrected as a 

small home for the owner’s parents 400 to 500 feet 

away, was another. In its past life, the building stored 

ice, cut from the adjacent pond, that was brought to 

Boston by horse and cart for sale. 

When Principal Zeke Brown first embarked on the 

master plan for the project, it was clear the site held 

a significant architectural and engineering history. 

The entire property, in fact, is constructed atop the 

dam of the pond, and the site is riddled with old, 


The old and new peacefully coexist within this home. While the 

brackets, trim and architectural detailing of the façade replicate the 

original, the home also employs modern-day amenities, like top-ofthe-line 

black aluminum Marvin windows and an expansive lift-andslide 

door that opens to the grounds. All of the stone was sourced in 

Vermont and granite salvaged from the demolition is used throughout 

the property, including within steps that descend to a lower courtyard. 

This homeowner served as the interior designer, selecting colors, 

cabinetry, finishes and fixtures for what is clearly a passion project. 

82 


and often confounding, civil engineering systems that 

reliably keep the water level from rising and falling to this 

day, among other vestiges of the past. Brown, together 

with McCormack Builders, who joined the project a little 

over two years ago for the conservation work prior to 

beginning construction, would safeguard the site’s legacy. 

“Brown’s work centers on respecting what was there 

100-200 years ago while carefully merging it with 

modern elements,” says Owner Michael McCormack of 

McCormack Builders. “Our goal was always to maintain 

the history of the property,” so the team painstakingly 

matched period details and heeded the original footprint 

for an accurate portrayal. “That was the key,” explains 

McCormack. “We wanted to do the property justice.” 

The architect and builder stayed true to the “cottage” 

character on the home’s façade, replicating the structure’s 

two chimneys, and the original dormer of the front door 

(pictured opposite) that encroaches on the authentic 

red cedar roof. The foundation was crafted to resemble 

the original stone wall, while the radial sawn white 

cedar clapboard siding was sourced and manually cut 

at a mill in Vermont. Wood was salvaged and reused on 

interior surfaces, while original hardware and doors were 

preserved and stored by the homeowner for future use. 

Elsewhere, liberties were taken to suit the homeowners’ 

lifestyle and propel the home’s amenities, technologies 

and efficiencies to the present day. The ceiling heights, for 

example, stand taller than those of the past, a deck was 

added above the sunroom, and lift-and-slide doors usher 

views of the pond and the grounds into the living spaces. 

And while the floor plan has been opened up a bit, the 

rooms hearken back to the coziness of yesteryear. 

The interiors are a striking mix of old meets new—often 

in the very same scene. Custom cabinetry abounds, and a 

wood treatment of crisp, white nickel-gap pine lines most 

walls of the first floor, the ceilings of the second story, and 

wraps two Sub-Zero refrigerators in the kitchen. A newel 

post dating back to the 1800s anchors the stair, while a 

beautiful marble master bath with its door-less design 

responds to a decidedly recent trend. “Every space is 

unique and distinctive,” says McCormack, “laced with 

wonderful moments that take you back in time.”

Love. 

A happy client and builder reunite to 

create a custom Colonial Revival that 

truly reflects their lifestyle. 

The success of a warm and welcoming new 

construction in a desirable Boston suburb 

was, in large part, due to the fact that the 

residents and Soderholm Custom Builders 

had been here before. Owners Sam and Ken Soderholm 

had previously constructed two homes for this young 

family; they’ve watched the homeowners’ children grow, 

and their needs and lifestyle subtly shift with the years. 

So, when the time came to create a new manor house 

for the active, modern family that trades bunk beds and 

safety gates for homework spaces, a smoothie zone and 

fireside cocoa, as well as inviting spaces for entertaining 

a tight-knit extended family and friends, Soderholm 

Custom Builders was there, as they had always been. 

The shared history and experience of the previous 

builds informed the making of this next ‘generational’ 

house, a highly detailed, wholly livable residence that 

would serve as the new family seat. Once the perfect 

site was procured, architect Tom Catalano, AIA, principal 

of Catalano Architects, was charged with designing a 

legacy house that would support and enhance the busy, 

joy-filled years ahead. 

The family has always been passionate about their 

home, but this time around, they had a confidence, too. 

The husband-and-wife team divided and conquered 

when addressing how their personal spaces should look 

and work, and were a unified front when collaborating 


The great room artfully mixes brick, stone, 

steel and soft fabrics and furnishings to create 

a home of exceptional appeal and authenticity.

on the entertaining and family spaces. They knew exactly 

what they wanted: a feel-good, functional environment 

that enriches every day. Soderholm Custom Builders knew 

exactly how to make it happen, the first step being to 

assemble the talent behind the build. 

“We had a rapport with the homeowners,” shares Sam, 

and, perhaps above all, trust. “We were brought in 

very quickly to guide them in bringing in the rest of the 

team,” which, in addition to Catalano Architects, included 

landscape architect Sudbury Design Group; landscape 

contractor The Schumacher Companies; interior design 

firm Bierly-Drake and Steele, Inc.; Peter Murray of Fine 

Finish; Herrick & White Architectural Woodworkers; Wayne 

Towle Master Finishing and Restoration; Kochman Reidt + 

Haigh Cabinetmakers; and O’Hara & Company, as well as a 

long list of other top-tier professionals and subcontractors. 

The porch has automated Phantom screens, LED lighting and 

integrated speakers by DC Home Systems. O’Hara & Company built 

the fireplace at its core. During construction, at one point Peter 

Murray’s framework “looked like a rib cage,” says Sam, to support all of 

the trim yet allow for the screen openings. 

“The homeowners had a very specific program that 

informed our design,” offers architect Tom Catalano. 

“They were seeking strong symmetry and balance of 

form that would allow for sun filled, comfortable spaces 

that welcomed their daily routines and offered additional 

functionality.” The first floor consists of formal and casual 

living areas, as well as individual work spaces for the family. 

“The two-story grand entry gradually transitions to more 

casual everyday living spaces, featuring hand molded brick 

for a sophisticated yet relaxed industrial feel.” 

Every detail has import, and there is no doubt the 

homeowners’ thoughtful input elevated the home. They 

relayed,“ this is how our family lives and this is how 

we want to live in this space,” says Interior designer 

Chris Drake, principal of Bierly-Drake and Steele. They 

knew the kids’ homework stations should be near the 

kitchen, that each child’s mudroom locker should have a 

charging station, and that a trough-style sink might curtail 

toothpaste trails. Topics like how much water pressure 

is needed during the morning rush were also part of the 

conversation. Sam, with his wealth of project experience, 

thrives on hammering out this kind of minutiae, locating 

efficiencies, and staying two steps ahead, while never 

losing sight of the big picture. “I work on one project at 

a time,” says Sam, from inside the spotless mechanical 

room, answering the question How do you do it? before 

it’s asked. “I enjoy this,” he smiles. 

The “less-grand spaces” received the most attention. The 

great room, for example, is a highly complex space with 

exposed brick columns and an upscale, factory-meetsgreenhouse 

sensibility that is both an aesthetic tour de 

force and a feat of engineering. It is also a testament to the 

work of Peter Murray; there is steel beneath the “linened” 

walls (a signature Bierly-Drake textural application) to 

support the decorative steel trusses and the skylight that 

pierces the ceiling to bathe the space in light. To create 

the space, Murray crafted guides out of MDF plywood, 

explains Sam, and “John Kelley of Kelley Welding built us 

the steel to build the room based on those templates.”

Paul Reidt, principal of Kochman Reidt + Haigh 

Cabinetmakers (KR+H), looked to the great room when 

conceiving the kitchen design, using its “honest and 

casual” vocabulary to develop a friendly yet industrious 

space full of character and visual texture. Reidt “tried to 

find the right balance between the industrial feel and the 

level of refinement that the house demands,” he explains, 

and his firm ultimately landed on a rich combination of 

weathered wood from reclaimed barn board (finished with 

a “super dull topcoat”) for the oversized island, concrete 

countertops, and metalwork and glass cabinets that bring 

both shimmer and brawn into the heart of the home. 

The lower level, what the interior design team describes as 

“a very funky and very fun family and guest hangout area 

with a ‘rathskeller’ sensibility,” was again designed to be 

used and enjoyed. Bierly-Drake and Steele incorporated 

hardy, soft-to-the-feel indoor-outdoor fabrics and 

tempered the space’s industrial accents with furnishings in 

shades of toasty brown, salvaged beams and “expressions 

of the resident’s strong respect for antiques.” A handsome 

bar and tap area, crafted by cabinetmakers Herrick & 

White, was given a custom finish by Wayne Towle that 

delivers the time-tested tone of a favorite watering hole. 


As the owners love blue, the hue was interwoven with taupe and crisp white for a clean, current look. 

French Refined Limestone, dished and distressed, by Paris Ceramics, graces the hallways, foyer and great 

room. Owner Richard Abbott of Paris Ceramics shares that the stone will patina and age beautifully with 

time. The wet bar features an onyx stone counter by Cumar, Inc. that is backlit for added drama. 

The first floor level, while more formal in spirit, was also 

designed with mirth and mingling in mind; in fact, the 

house as a whole was set up to allow the homeowners 

to entertain family and friends on different levels at the 

same time. And, though the exterior envelope has a 

gracious, intricately detailed architectural flair that is in 

keeping with the neighborhood context, inside, Catalano 

sought a comfortable design with playful elements that 

speak to the family’s values and lack of pretense. While he 

employed traditional elements, he says, “It’s not an uptight 

composition.” 

Occasionally, there are moments of glam that underscore 

the homeowners’ convivial mindset and penchant for “a 

little sparkle.” Chris Drake and Will Steele were pleased to 

comply, and answered by introducing mirrored elements 

that spotlight the architecture and a few fanciful focal 

points, like the jewel box of a wet bar in the living room.

Their experience absolutely came 

into play. If the homeowners had 

built this house 10 years ago, it 

probably would have been 

an entirely different home. 

Everything just came 

together. 

—Sam Soderholm 

Millwork is essential in this home. 

Early on, it was decided to have square 

elements within the woodwork, crafted 

by Peter Murray of Fine Finish, painted 

“a very bright, shiny white to play it up,” 

says interior designer Chris Drake. 

The door is by Herrick & White 

Architectural Woodworkers. 


The architecture of this home is masterful. 

Tom Catalano has produced a highly detailed, 

highly ornamental—almost patrician—house. 

—Paul Reidt 

“The formality at the front façade is tempered with a pergola 

running adjacent to the side wing at the northern part of the 

property,” offers Catalano. The brick detailing, by O’Hara & 

Company, ties the building to the terrain, and introduces color 

and texture. Exterior trim by Fine Finish, Inc.

Most rooms open wide to the verdant backyard via a 

thoughtful procession of doors, illuminated by gas lanterns. 

Granite porches and terraces serve as “continuous 

landings off the house,” explains Landscape Architect Scot 

Indermuehle of Sudbury Design Group, rather than serving 

as destinations within the grounds that pull the family away. 

Each vista relates back to the whole yet has its own integrity 

and virtuosity. In fact, shares Nick O’Hara, owner of O’Hara & 

Company, it was the “beautiful mixture of sand-molded brick, 

domestic granite and New England fieldstone,” specified 

by the architect and landscape architect that attracted him 

to the project. O’Hara’s masonry is knitted throughout the 

interior and exterior of the home, etched within the exposed 

brick, chimneys, fireplaces and outdoor spaces, and he 

relished the interplay of mediums. 

As a foil to the patterning of the hardscapes, the terrain, 

comprised mainly of ground cover and ornamental trees, 

takes a less-is-more approach. President Michael Coutu of 

Sudbury Design Group was thrilled that the team was able 

to “maintain the rolling character of the property,” creating 

an overall effect of relaxed grace. To achieve that end, 

landscape contractor The Schumacher Companies stitched 

the naturalized area of the wetland in with the cultivated lawn 

and plantings. Like an embrace, the landscape is nestled in 

snugly to the architecture in a way that allows the house to 

shine as brightly as its inhabitants.

ONE-OF-A-KIND APPLICATIONS REIGN AT HEATHER VAUGHAN INTERIOR DESIGN 

By Andrea Mingels 

Heather Vaughan Interior Design’s ability to envision and craft one-of-a-kind pieces is bespoke design. Principal Heather 

Vaughan works synergistically to create detailed design solutions that involve the custom creation of fabric, furniture or 

built-ins using finishes or colors that are suited to the client’s home. Vaughan creates personalized pieces that are current, 

unique and timeless. She explains, “We are always looking for the new, now, next.” 

1. 

1. Vaughan can transform the most mundane item into 

something extraordinary. In a previously white kitchen, 

she designed a colorful backsplash made of hand glazed 

Moroccan tiles. Vaughan incorporated 16 shades found 

within the client’s house to create a beautifully bold and 

visually interesting result. 

2. When designing a kitchen banquette, Vaughan mixed 

the traditional C-shape with a contemporary Missoni fabric 

and offset the assertive design with a soft, custom, linenwrapped 

table. “Interior design is all a balancing act,” she 

explains, referencing the vibrant seating area. 

3. Vaughan teamed up with a thirteen-year-old client to 

co-create a fresh and fabulous bedroom. For this personal 

retreat, Vaughan designed a versatile, headlining piece 

that will mature with her client: an upholstered bed frame 

wrapped in a pearlized vinyl and detailed with an aged 

Ann Sacks mirror. By simply exchanging the comforter or 

throw pillows, the bed can instantly transform from that of 

a teenager to an adult’s. 

The true magic of a collaboration sparks when trust is 

formed between the designer and client. Says Vaughan, 

“When you have the client’s best interest at heart, and they 

know that, beautiful things happen.”

INSIDE INTERIOLOGY DESIGN CO.’S EXPERIENCE 

STUDIO WITH MARK HADDAD 


When we asked to profile 

Certified Master Kitchen and Bath 

Designer (CMKBD) Mark Haddad 

in his element, he naturally chose 

Interiology Design Co.’s Experience 

Studio in Watertown as the setting. 

The owner and his team work amid 

the studio’s curated, comprehensive 

displays, a space brimming with 

design solutions for the whole home 

as well as one-of-kind accessories, 

upholstery, art and case goods. 

Interiology Design Co.’s impressive 

kitchen installations illuminate 

Haddad’s 19-year depth of 

knowledge and coveted CMKBD 

level of certification, which requires 

accredited instruction and ongoing 

education. From the fully operational 

Gourmet Kitchen (top), with its walnut 

island, motorized cabinetry and 

custom storage, to the contemporary 

Coffee Kitchen (below) with its 

Noisette cabinetry by Composit, 

it is clear the studio is a winning 

resource for homeowners and trade 

professionals alike. 

Aside from the sexier considerations 

like aesthetics, kitchen design 

requires a thorough grasp of

DARING IN DESIGN 

WITH ERIC HAYDEL DESIGN, YOUR ADVENTURE STARTS NOW. 

Michael J. Lee Photography 

Interior designer Eric Haydel, principal of Eric Haydel Design 

and owner of the Eric Haydel Showroom at the Boston 

Design Center, wants to know what you’re comfortable with. 

That way, he can “push you towards the uncomfortable,” he 

says, and you’re going to love it. It’s not that he won’t listen. 

Quite the contrary. In fact, he believes that when working 

with a designer your voice should be heard loudest of all. 

It often surprises clients to learn that he doesn’t have to like 

a design element or the look he weaves for them. “It isn’t 

about me,” he contends. “It’s about pulling out the best of 

the client and showing them what they can have. That’s what 

the experience is about.” 

If you’re open to the process, and the discovery of it, that 

place of initial unease can be shaped into bold, buoyant 

and vital living spaces full of pattern, color, texture and 

pieces that resonate with you. “From a design perspective, 

it’s about the moments we create, and the story we tell 

together,” says Haydel. “Your home is a reflection of who 

you are and where you want to go.” 

To script that narrative, Haydel uses a three-component 

design approach. He first encourages clients to think twodimensionally, 

assessing the way the space moves and how 

you move within it. Next, he explores the third dimension— 

how you view the space and how you want to see it. The 

final, fourth dimension is how you experience and engage 

with that space, and how you live with it daily. “If you don’t 

think about that fourth dimension, you’ve totally missed the 

mark, and you’ll be unhappy with the result.” 

Haydel works with clients to find the joy in their home, 

creating layers that lift them up and incorporating heirloom 

quality furnishings and finishes with stories of their own. “If 

you’re in a space that feels fantastic, it’s a game changer,” 

maintains Haydel. “And it will be going forward.”

Luxury 

LAYERED FOR 

Betsy Bassett Interiors refashions an elegant master 

bedroom suite—from the forms to the finishes. 

Betsy Bassett Interiors has a hand in every aspect of a 

home’s interior space—from the interior architectural 

details and furnishings to the finishing touches. While 

renovating an outdated bedroom, Principal Betsy Bassett 

designed custom cabinetry, specified trim details and 

worked directly with artists to develop custom wall 

coverings and one-of-a-kind furniture to ensure a perfectly 

personalized master suite. 

Bassett creates layers of luxury in each space she designs. 

Here, Bassett transforms a Pepto Bismol-pink bathroom 

into an elegant, spa-like retreat. While the gorgeous 

freestanding soaking tub is the room’s focal point, it is the 

details that allow this master bath to shine. The wallpaper 

was custom colored for this project and made from 

mother-of-pearl, which gives the room a stunning shimmer 

in the morning light. 

All the furnishings were tailored for the client. Bassett 

customized a beautiful two-toned desk expressly for 

the space. An ivory velvet desk chair serves as the ideal 

companion; the designer embellished its upholstery with a 

Greek key pattern nailhead detail for added dimension. 

The closet was designed with the client’s impressive shoe 

collection and wardrobe in mind. The custom cabinetry 

is lined with interior lights and painted a metallic taupe 

glaze, and the sheen of the leopard print wallpaper with 

vertical stripes adds glamour. To create the client’s dream 

closet, Bassett had to find the perfect balance of sparkle 

and sophistication. She explains, “my design strategy is 

to layer beautiful fabrics and high-end materials but also 

to know when to stop. I want to create luxury and calm; a 

bedroom suite should be a place of peace.”

FIVE TIPS FROM AN 

INTERIOR DESIGN LEGEND 

W I T H A N T H O N Y C A T A L F A N O 

A tastemaker through and through, interior designer Anthony Catalfano of 

Anthony Catalfano Interiors and Anthony Catalfano Home in Wells, Maine, 

has fashioned seaside estates, penthouse suites, garden pavilions and car 

salons, and has conceived stunning, multilayered interiors not only here in 

New England, but out west and down south, as well. He is also the author 

of the ultimate coffee-table book Anthony Catalfano Embellished Spaces. 

Clients who work with Catalfano know that he has no shortage of inspired 

ideas and fabulous design solutions up his cuff-linked sleeve. From 

architectural details and woodwork to fabrics, furnishings and accessories, 

the creative well he draws from is seemingly endless. And, while he 

considers each client, project and/or home individually, he is happy to 

share a few universal design truths we can all follow.... 

Notice the special. After years of minimalism and eliminating everything, 

collections are coming back. 

Invest in art. Something can be priceless or the work of an up-and-comer. 

Buy things that are classic and timeless. If you don’t have an art collection, 

develop one. I’m happy to walk my clients through it; I want people to 

learn and get the things that look beautiful for them and pleasing for them. 

Don’t fear color. People are ready for color; they’ve been living in a 

neutral world for so long. Happy yet elegant hues like soft violet, offset 

by deeper tones of charcoal gray and taupe, can be a year-round palette. 

Splashes of color, like persimmon for throw pillows and consoles or sexy 

Ferrari reds, are bold and bright ways to invigorate living spaces. 


Change things up. Instead of putting the dishes in a cabinet, 

use them. I once did a Nantucket project where I plastered a lot 

of my grandmother’s crazy dishes—they had reticulated edges 

and depictions of fruit—on the wall alongside a fabric that had 

hand-painted fruits and flowers. The dishes weren’t fabulously 

expensive, but they looked like a million bucks when it was done.

Stevensen; Right page: (Left) Chuck Choi; (Right & Bottom) 


Set your own trend. Use simple things and recreate them— 

whether it’s taking something that is so simple and adding a twist 

or making it look like something unbelievable. 


CARTER & COMPANY 


MCARTERANDCO.COM | 617.227.5343

& 

A dynamic unit in One Dalton, Boston’s 

chicest new address, and its antithesis— 

a New Hampshire lodge where time stands 

still—reveal the artistic range and talent of 

interior designer Michael Carter. 

Town 

Country 


“What makes 

The Lodge so 

special is that it 

encapsulates a 

time and place 

gone by.” 

Carter’s New Hampshire living space is rife with things that 

speak to his past and bring him joy—from heirloom antiques to 

his collections of vintage rolling pins and yellowware (Carter’s 

ardor predates Martha Stewart’s). Right: The staff at Carter 

& Company raise a glass to one another and enjoy a leisurely 

luncheon in The Lodge. 

116 


At Carter & Company, “our job is to create environment,” says Principal Michael Carter 

slowly, in his honeyed North Carolina drawl. It goes beyond imagining beautiful spaces 

with pretty things. It’s more about conjuring a feeling and a palpable sense of place. 

Whether recreating a turn-of-the-century, “horse and 

buggy” era camp on a picturesque mountaintop in New 

Hampshire for himself and his husband, David Rousseau, 

or injecting character within the sparkling, sculptural allglass 

canvas that is One Dalton, Carter’s designs, above all 

things, are meant to resonate with the client. It is for this 

reason that Carter and his team can operate—and soar— 

in two very different universes, conceiving meaningful, 

soulful living spaces for settings that fall on opposite ends 

of the interior design spectrum. 

“No one will ever accuse Carter & Company of being a 

one-trick pony,” he says with a certain sense of pride. And 

though the interior designer’s roots are grounded in the 

traditional, Carter & Company’s aesthetic is fluid, receptive 

and ultimately a reflection of the client. Carter takes cues 

from personal interests and life stories, and “edits and 

interprets” the client’s opportunity for expression. 

The Lodge, Carter’s country escape that he has lovingly 

restored since purchasing it in 2001, mirrors facets of his 

own makeup—his passion for preservation and history, 

and for antiques—a trait he inherited from a favorite aunt. 

When he was first introduced to the “wreck of a property,” 

a cluster of lakeside buildings comprising an old summer 

camp and former “party house” high on a hilltop and 

far from the prying eyes of the Prohibition, and, later, a 

summer camp, he was enchanted by its log walls and 


“In many ways, 

this property is 

about leaving things 

alone that should be 

allowed to be old 

and have patina.” 

From horse-drawn carriage rides to taking a moment of pause— 

and a breath—on the porch, there is a slower pace to life at The 

Lodge. Right: In the main room, Carter “didn’t touch a thing,” he 

says, due to the planed fir logs (many with the bark still on), and 

the extraordinary hearth. As he moved beyond that space, there 

was a lot of artistic freedom. 

118 


eams, ironwork and stone fireplace. Says Carter, “I feel 

like this property has soul.” So, after pouring his time and 

talent into a series of renovations, including reorienting 

the house to frame water views, and creating a two-story 

drop in the heart of the home, The Lodge has become the 

place where he and Rousseau, their dogs, horses, friends 

and family can disconnect, recharge and entertain. 

“What makes this house so special is that it encapsulates a 

time and place gone by,” he offers. For a few years it had 

no indoor plumbing, and it still has no TV (“we’ve never 

missed it,” says Carter) or cell-phone service. What it does 

have is an “intangible,” muses Carter; a hard-to-pin-down 

air “that, once you’re there, you can sense and smell.” 

How, then, did he go about selecting very real items— 

furnishings, finishes, art, accessories—that further this 

mystique? “You use the edit button,” answers Carter, to 

accentuate the wood, stone and ironwork that give the 

structure its charm, and fill the home with one-of-a-kind 

pieces with meaning—antiques passed down by his aunt, 

furnishings his uncle crafted by hand, items repurposed 

from the general stores of yesteryear, finds from the 

Brimfield Fair. “Items that have a certain soul,” says Carter, 

to say nothing of ingenuity. The designer had great fun 

“using interesting things in an atypical way.” In the kitchen, 

an old-fashioned meat scale, weighed down by sacks of 

flour, finds new life as a chandelier, while an old piano leg 

turned upside down becomes a lamp for the living room. 

The grounds beyond The Lodge’s rustic walls are as 

essential to the spirit of the home as its interiors. As 

much as the setting is “back to basics,” it is also “back 

to nature,” shares Carter. He and his guests enjoy 

vintage canoe rides, horse-drawn carriage rides and 

simple pleasures like sitting in one of the many rocking 

chairs on the oversized porch, sangria in hand. True to 

its provenance, in a way The Lodge is still a party house, 

laughs Carter. “It’s a ball,” he says, “made for celebrating, 

family reunions, gatherings and holidays.” 


The living room’s walnut fireplace wall, built by Saltsman Brenzel and finished by Wayne Towle Master 

Finishing & Restoration, contrasts with the subdued color palette. Phillip Jeffries wallcoverings, applied 

by Paul J. Beath, were used throughout the home for texture and to soften the space. The sense of 

serenity is a foil to the city’s vitality; “You really can connect to Boston at this level,” says Carter. Right: A 

breathtaking chandelier by Donghia and bespoke John Boone burled table wow in the front entry hall. 

While The Lodge is about time gone by and savoring 

moments with friends and family, a unit at One Dalton, 

Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences, conceived 

by Carter & Company for empty nesters, is about daring 

greatly. “It is bold of them,” underscores Carter, his 

admiration for his clients clear. “This is definitely their big 

moment,” he says. “They have left suburbia to go literally 

up to the sky,” inhabiting an instantly iconic building, 

which, designed by famed architect Henry N. Cobb, is, in 

Carter’s estimation, the chicest in the city. 

“It is a serious fresh start,” Carter continues, and 

a renaissance that is centered on expression over 

functionality. The owners are bringing precious few 

possessions from their previous residence, which was 

traditional in nature; cutting their square footage 

considerably; and making a sleek and sinuous unit with 

spectacular views home. The new setting is triangular with 

rounded ends and walls of curving glass. “It’s like being in 

the nose of an airplane,” says Carter. “It is floor to ceiling 

glass all the way around.” 

How do you appoint such a leap of faith? If you’re Carter, 

you look to the architecture of the building itself, which 

is wildly inventive and features “modern and timeless 

bones,” and set out to fully understand the clients and 

what will resonate with them. As One Dalton is, in essence, 

“a three-sided piece of sculpture,” Carter expanded that 

concept indoors. “We thought of everything in this whole 

unit as an expression of sculpture,” he explains. With 

its art, sculpture, color and texture, “it’s like being in a 

personalized art gallery.” 


This urban home is dripping with luxury 

and courage in equal measure. 


Carter & Company crafted a confection of a home office for 

the woman of the house, complete with lacquered painting 

by Stephen Barton Painting, a slender desk overlooking the 

city, meaningful accents and art, and custom soft furnishings 

appointed by Eliot Wright Workroom. 

The modern art selections, chosen in collaboration with 

the clients’ daughter, who is an art entrepreneur and has 

the benefit of knowing the clients better than anyone 

else, give the unit much of the soul Carter was after. “The 

space is begging—I mean, it won’t even work—unless 

you have wonderful art in it,” says Carter, so the team 

animated the space with modern art from Boston galleries, 

such as Lanoue Gallery and Beacon Gallery, and included 

showstopping pieces like Jeremy Holms’ infinite wood 

ribbon installation in the living room and an exuberant 

turquoise abstract by Aja Johnson in the office above. 

For the lighting, finishes and furnishings, the homeowners 

joined Carter for a day in New York, scouring the wares of 

two design centers. A pair of bespoke semicircular sofas, 

a custom burled wood John Boone table, and a dazzling 

light fixture comprised of 90 glass dewdrops suspended by 

barely-there cables were among the selections. That day 

made a world of difference. Says Carter, “because you’re 

in this glass bubble, everything has to be special.” 

Overall, the home’s aesthetic has a sense of luxury that 

is derived from nature. Quartz sconces, rich woods and 

even geode accessories speak to the clients’ spiritual side 

and mindfulness. Though it would have been easy to go 

with the cool grays that are so pervasive at the moment, 

instead, the client embraced warmer tones, beautiful 

bisques, shimmering topaz hues, both smoky and blue, 

that coalesce into an inviting, zen-like cocoon. This is, 

after all, their space, their moment. So while The Lodge is 

intended to be a “simpler, non-digital escape” and a 

time capsule, “One Dalton is about embracing now as 

hard as you can,” says Carter. It’s not afraid of it. “It’s 

celebrating now.”

their hands full. The fully concealed 

refrigerated pantry is ideally 

positioned near the kitchen or garage 

entry and is an option for both new 

constructions and remodels. 

Bottom (left to right): Founders 

Don Lake and Paul DeLorenzo. 

RootCellar refrigerated pantries eliminate the “food graveyard” that often befalls standard 

refrigerators, eliminating waste and keeping ingredients organized and at eye view. No two 

RootCellars are the same. This custom design was created for newlyweds who love to entertain, 

and is inlaid with marble to match the kitchen counters; all have restaurant-grade glass. 

Measuring at 400 cubic feet, this RootCellar easily contains weekly grocery items, as well as 

platters for entertaining, fresh florals, kegs or cases of beer, chilled wine, bushels of shellfish— 

even a Thanksgiving turkey. If the residents don’t have time to put away their farm share or food 

delivery, they can simply place the parcels within it until they do. RootCellars can be configured 

with camera apps to allow owners to view its shelves from the store.

Refrigeration Redefined. 

RootCellar ® refrigerated pantries bring 

a cool change to kitchens. 

RootCellar Concepts has unveiled a breakthrough 

new product for fine homes that may just change your 

approach to grocery shopping, food organization and 

refrigeration. The company has introduced a premier, 

fully customizable refrigerated pantry and freezer that 

can replace the refrigeration in your kitchen, and fit in 

seamlessly within your design. 

The concept is the brainchild of Paul DeLorenzo, 

who has been in the food and beverage industry for 

decades, and Don Lake, a serial startup entrepreneur. 

DeLorenzo, who knows how essential “walk-ins” are to 

restaurants, wanted something similar in his own home. 

Lake latched onto the idea, envisioning the virtues of 

a walk-in closet for the kitchen. It is the kind of Aha! 

moment that is met with a resounding “Of course!” 

and “Brilliant!” by everyone who learns of it. “When 

you think about it,” explains Lake, “refrigeration hasn’t 

changed much in 100 years.” Families live in their 

kitchens today; a RootCellar pantry supports modern 

lifestyles, answering the universal need for more 

storage, freeing up space and revolutionizing the way 

people shop for and organize their perishables. 

Design development—quieting the evaporator, 

maximizing efficiency, wiring the lighting and hands-free 

door system, and refining the clean-lined aesthetic— 

took time to perfect. The result, however, is game 

changing for main residences and second homes, as 

you can stock the RootCellar at the outset of the high 

season to ensure you’re guest-ready. The investment is 

on par with what homeowners might spend on a top-tier 

refrigerator, drawers, freezer column and a wine cooler. 

“Yet you still wouldn’t have one-third the volume of a 

RootCellar,” reveals DeLorenzo, “or the convenience.”

The 

WONDER 

YEARS 

A spirited new construction was 

designed with the kids in mind. 

Ten days before a scheduled trip to Hawaii for a spring vacation, 

an athletic young family moved in to a custom new dream house 

surrounded by woodland. Just as the residence began to feel 

like home, the COVID-19 crisis struck, trip plans were cancelled, 

and the family, like those everywhere, was suddenly housebound. The 

build was fortuitous, as the all-American Colonial Revival—designed by 

Catalano Architects and constructed by KVC Builders—was conceived as a 

personal resort, filled with features sure to thrill, interest and entertain the 

family’s four children during the prized, pre-college years when they are all 

under one roof. The home is so spectacular, in fact, that it served as a fine 

fill-in for the Aloha State. 

When the owners met with architect Tom Catalano and landscape 

architects Scot Indermuehle and Michael Coutu of Sudbury Design 

Group to realize their ideal property, plans were drawn detailing an epic 

sports barn with a climbing wall, an outdoor pool pavilion and a sunbathed 

natatorium with a healthy outdoor connection. At the time, the 

clients couldn’t have known just how key the self-contained recreational 

compound would come to be. 


For the home’s orientation, 

the architects and landscape 

architects carved out space 

within the woods to get as 

much sun into the house as 

possible. 

Fine Finish, Inc. completed 

the home’s rich exterior 

and interior millwork— 

from the vaulted windows 

integrated into the roof for 

the master suite to the pine 

of the natatorium, which 

camouflages the piping and 

resists humidity. 


The program was not only forward-thinking, it was 

ambitious, explains Principal Tom Catalano of Catalano 

Architects, and a merry, magnificent mix of form, function 

and fun—all with equal weight. Catalano rewarded 

the homeowners’ taste for traditional New England 

architecture and an appreciation for context with a 

luminous home oriented to take full advantage of the sun 

with “discreet but connected elements” that downplay its 

majesty—and its amenities. 

“It isn’t every day that you design to accommodate an 

indoor pool,” offers Catalano, and his firm was careful to 

ensure that the architectural element of the natatorium 

didn’t overwhelm the rest of the house. To give it 

supporting-role status rather than the spotlight, the team 

pressed that wing into the site’s topography, and opened 

it up to the landscape via palatial glass doors. A Wasco 

skylight drenches the space in sunshine, providing an 

outlook to the treetops and clouds lazing overhead, while 

a granite compass, just off the bluestone terrace and 

etched with meaning, points back to the heart of the main 

home: the family’s true north. 

Project Manager Jackson Mello of KVC Builders, who was 

involved from start to finish and interacted daily with the 

team executing, explains: “The pool was a must. It was 

important to the homeowners for the kids to stay busy and 

active year-round, and swimming is part of their activities.” 

The building was designed to be a winter oasis and outlet 

during inclement weather and includes a sauna, home 

gym, swim jets and a spa for post-workout soaks. In the 

summer, the natatorium is a closer-to-home alternative 

to the sports barn; the family can open the lift-and-slide 

doors to the fresh air and spread out to the patio. 

When they’re not swimming, the resident athletes 

are often running the third-of-a-mile track, designed 

and crafted by Sudbury Design Group, that orbits the 

perimeter of the property. Comprised of gravel with 

a stone-dust finish, the informal course helps define 

the developed lawn and gardens from the woodland 

surrounding the site and the more public conservation 

land beyond that. The track frequently sees the spirit of 

competition. Landscape architect Scot Indermuehle of 

Sudbury Design Group shares, “They bike on it; they jog 

on it; and they have races and timed trials.” 

A sandbox, framed by boulders, was a late but well-loved 

addition to the landscape. The youngest children, as well 

as the pup, can often be found settled in beneath the 

twin trees, contentedly scooping, sifting and molding 

the contents. To combat high ground water—the site’s 

greatest challenge, according to Sudbury Design Group 

President Michael Coutu—his firm and the civil engineer 

developed multiple rain gardens (in lieu of underground 

filtration systems) as a natural drainage design for storm 

water. This solution delighted the children. Mello, who has 

seen their glee firsthand, can attest: “When it rains, the 

rain gardens fill with water, and the kids run out to collect 

frogs and then bring them over to the sand pit. They have 

a lot of fun.” 


Integrating the wood structure of the pool house with the metal of the sports barn was a highly technical part of the build, says Jackson 

Mello, as the two have to be independent of each other. The homeowner, who is very tech-savvy and “almost a co-designer,” says System 

7 President Gerard Lynch, can control both pools—as well as lighting, shading and climate—from the watch on his arm. Right: The stacked 

stone of the great room fireplace in the pool house is repeated within the waterfall of the pool. 

Deeper into the property, an outdoor pool, pool-house 

pavilion and sports barn provide additional opportunities 

for leisure, recreation and organized games. In yet another 

prescient move, the homeowners viewed this complex as 

a destination, a getaway within the grounds, so to speak. 

“They wanted it to be experientially different from the house 

and to be removed,” says Catalano, “so that when they go 

there, it is a special event.” 

The sports barn, the size of a full tennis court, is sunken 

deep within the hillside, and virtually undetectable from the 

main home. Instead, the view is a curated slice of paradise, 

comprised of the one-story pool house, the turquoise pool 

and spa, and a porcelain terrace that is kind to bare feet. 

“Getting the whole package to step up the hill properly was 

integral to the design,” says Indermuehle. “You don’t realize 

there is a whole barn down behind it.” 

Once inside the sports barn, however, one can’t help but 

take notice. KVC, which is known for tackling some of the 

region’s most sophisticated construction projects, has yet to 

do a gym with this degree of flexibility. The parents wanted 

the kids and their friends to be able to do “anything and 

everything they’d like to do year-round,”says Mello, so 

the arena houses a full basketball court, volleyball court, 

batting cage and a rock wall that trains the kids to aim high. 

The latter was a tag-team effort between Fine Finish, Inc., 

KVC Builders and the owner, and a homegrown solution 

suggested by Peter Murray, owner of Fine Finish, who noted 

that he could build a climbing wall, from structure to finish 

to fascia, for one-fourth of the cost of similar setups. The 

homeowner, who is hands-on, arranged the footholds of the 

construct prior to KVC’s installation. 

System 7, the technology design company that configured 

the unified, user-friendly subsystems that span the full 

property, ramped up the energy and excitement level in the 

sports barn higher still. Thanks to a crowd-pleasing music 

system and speakers customized for the gym, music fills the 

voluminous space when the kids push play.

“It’s summer camp in every way. 

The kids love it. The parents love it.” 

–Scot Indermuehle 


The statement stairway, a Catalano staple, can be viewed through the window when 

approaching the home. Fine Finish keeps the lines of the poplar boards and profiles 

sharp by running them through his machines at a slower pace than mass production 

millshops do. The talented painters that KVC brought in—Joseph Bruno Painting and 

RPM Painting—played a huge part in bringing out the beauty of the surfaces, says Murray. 

“At its heart, this is a quintessential American house 

with sunlit spaces that are simple and playful.” 

–Tom Catalano 


When the family, eventually, is compelled to come inside, 

they are greeted by a friendly, resplendent home that 

shares the youthful vitality of the inhabitants. The spaces 

are transitional in style, and laden with clean-lined millwork 

that delivers crisp lines and plenty of visual interest. 

Murray, who has worked with Catalano Architects for years, 

couldn’t be happier that the architect has a penchant for 

“heavy millwork and a lot of border,” he says. Catalano’s 

inclination kept the Fine Finish team on site for months, 

paneling paint-grade poplar in the foyer, stairhall and 

octagonal eating nook, crafting custom cabinetry in the 

kitchen to be painted an upbeat bright blue and creating 

the casually elegant ceiling of rift sawn white oak, finished 

by Wayne Towle Master Finishing and Restoration, that 

stretches from the kitchen into the family room. 

Even with its careful architectural detailing and 

craftsmanship, “the home is pretty informal on the inside,” 

maintains Catalano. “It is elegantly simple.” In essence, it 

is an approachable, charismatic house with a humility that 

is every bit as impressive as its square footage. 

And, while the home does bear the distinction of being the 

largest interior that designer Katie Rosenfeld, principal and 

owner of Katie Rosenfeld and Company, has worked on to 

date, she shares Catalano’s sentiments. “Even though the 

structure of the house is large, it doesn’t feel intimidating 

or formal,” she says. “I feel like it’s a small house living in a 

big house,” one with “a very classy, tasteful Silicon Valley 

or Apple” kind of vibe designed for the East Coast. 


As Rosenfeld had a lot of ground to cover and the home 

is young yet, the interiors are a work in progress, and she 

is working closely with the residents to layer the lively 

spaces. Still, seeing the home come together after so 

much planning is exciting, she says, and her backdrop—a 

colorful canvas using “a lot of fabric, a lot of wallpaper, 

pattern and texture” and a dynamic palette of blues, 

green, coral and yellow—is a vital springboard for the 

meaningful art and accents that will unfold over time. 

In conceiving the spaces, “fun” was the operative word and 

the focus was the children. The homeowners would say: 

“We want them to have fun, and we want it to look fun,” 

says Rosenfeld, and she took that directive to heart. Each 

room, therefore, became an adventure, from the creative 

home office to the theme of each child’s room to the 

upstairs library nook, with its floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, 

rolling ladder and shapely armchairs. “There is a lot of 

learning that goes on in this house,” says Rosenfeld. “The 

people here are really thoughtful and bright, and they 

wanted a space for the kids to sit down and read.” 

Organization and a specific set of requirements also 

drove the design. In fact, at the outset of the project, the 

homeowner provided Catalano with a brief outlining a day 

in the life of the family. His thorough objectives are woven 

throughout the home, yet perhaps best showcased in the 

mudroom, with its high and low cabinetry, partitions and 

sock drawers, and in the butler’s pantry, a knockout space 

in glossy royal blue that is as functional as it is fanciful, 

and “can bend and flex,” says Rosenfeld, to serve as an 

extension of the kitchen or as a bar.

“The homeowner’s very specific requirements helped 

inform a successful design outcome,” offers Catalano, and 

they appreciated the firm’s ability to spin their functional 

criteria into timeless, outstanding architecture. Interested 

in exacting details, he pored over Project Architect Elena 

Stancheva’s drawings and gave feedback, and, together 

with his wife, assessed the project at both the micro and 

macro level. He worked with System 7 to devise a plan for 

a rock-solid network for wired and wireless technology built 

with everyday enjoyment and longevity in mind, and knew 

the names of every subcontractor and their company with 

the ease of KVC Builders’ site superintendents Brendan 

Gallagher and Liam Colleran. “He had his head in every 

detail here—all the way through,” says Mello, and the home 

is better for it. 

“They can take great pride in their involvement,” maintains 

Catalano, because the clients’ collective enthusiasm and 

careful consideration are reflected in the home. But the 

greatest reward of this house built for fun? “The kids 

couldn’t be happier,” says Mello. “They’ve used everything.”

At Cutting Edge Systems, we’ve been on the forefront of state-of-the-art technology systems 

in the home for over 25 years. Architectural audio and visual solutions are our specialty. 

How do we do it? In this elegant living room, we installed a JBL Synthesis surround sound system that is 

typically reserved for home theater rooms. A motorized, 120-inch Stewart screen concealed within the 

ceiling lowers to meet a powerful, custom designed speaker that rises from a custom cabinet hidden 

behind the couch. A projector, encased along the molding, casts images onscreen, while Lutron shades 

descend automatically and the lighting dims. We can equip any room to transform at the touch of a button. 

Cutting Edge Systems • 364 Littleton Rd. • Westford, MA 01886 • (978) 392-1392 • www.cuttingedgehome.com


These days, home theater systems are not 

solely about movies, says Evan Struhl, President 

and CEO of Cutting Edge Systems Corp. 

“You can watch TV or choose to become captivated 

by playing video games.” Along with streaming video, 

gaming has become an obsession among millennials, and, 

for the young residents of a beautiful new Beacon Hill 

townhome, it is undoubtedly “their hot spot.” 

They approached Cutting Edge Systems because they 

wanted a “killer system” in their posh, high design living 

room. The catch was that the impeccably tasteful space 

couldn’t look like a home theater; it needed to be a “living 

room without compromise,” says Struhl. 

At the touch of button, a custom speaker, designed and 

built by Cutting Edge Systems, rises from its hiding space 

behind the sofa to meet a motorized, 120-inch Stewart 

screen. A powerful subwoofer is housed in a hidden, 

custom built cabinet behind the couch. The projector fires 

up from across the room; Lutron shades lower to shut out 

the outside world and the lighting dims, casting a warm 

glow over the high-tech scene. 

The audio electronics by JBL Synthesis, says Struhl, “are 

the highest quality and usually reserved for dedicated 

home theater rooms.” Typically, you wouldn’t use such 

a grand system in a space like this, he continues, but his 

clients “wanted a lot of impact and excitement to come 

through.” Cutting Edge Systems was happy to comply, 

installing the motorized soundbar/subwoofer behind the 

couch and a fully calibrated surround sound system that is 

built in, invisibly. 

As important as it is, the gaming theater is just one 

component of a whole-home integration system. Cutting 

Edge Systems also configured music, using small aperture 

speakers that mimic the overhead lighting fixtures, video, 

Lutron Palladiom keypads, lighting and shades. All of the 

electronics, including an enterprise computer network with 

secure WiFi, is efficiently housed in an equipment rack that 

slides in and out of a custom closet.

SMART HOME SECURITY: 

MOCKUPANCY, IP CAMERAS, 

SMART LOCKS AND MORE 

Safe and Sound 

“A lot of people think of TV and music 

when they think of Control4,” says 

Director of Sales & Development Dave 

Noland of Sounds Good. “The security 

side is overlooked.” The Waltham-based 

tech integrator is hoping to change that. 

Control4’s smart home capabilities go 

beyond the atmospheric, its systems also 

bring considerable peace of mind. 

Control4 safeguards properties in a number 

of ways, including its Mockupancy feature, 

which gives the illusion that someone 

is home. The feature simulates the 

homeowner’s routine—switching lights on 

and off, lowering shades, turning on music 

and the TV—thwarting mischief and wouldbe 

threats. Mockupancy is not unlike the 

movie Home Alone, laughs Noland. “Only 

you don’t need Kevin pulling the strings 

to make it look like people are dancing in 

the window.” 

Control4 also works with IP (internet protocol) 

cameras, a staple in today’s connected 

home, and a property’s security system on 

an interface that allows homeowners to arm, 

disarm and control the alarm system from 

their touchscreen. In the event of a “security 

event,” you can open the Control4 app, see 

the cameras, and, if needed, set an alarm or 

alert emergency services—from anywhere 

in the world. 

Smart Locks and door stations with cameras 

also keep residents safe. With smart locks, 

you can lock and unlock any connected door 

remotely, and set and control dedicated 

codes, like that of a child coming home from 

school or temporary ones for a worker who 

needs access. An alert is issued when the 

code is input, so you know all is as it should 

be. Conversely, via two-way communication 

with video and audio, if someone rings the 

doorbell you can see who it is and unlock 

the door remotely. 

These features and others—like water 

sensors and carbon monoxide and temperature 

alerts—are game changers for second 

homes and allow homeowners to rest easy 

with access both “inside and outside the 

home,” says Noland.

A modern vacation home years in the 

making brings organic beauty beachside. 

It isn’t every day that a Cape Cod home on the ocean 

becomes available, says Lindsay Bentis, founder and 

principal of Thread by Lindsay Bentis. Such homes, with 

their sandy heirloom settings, remain in families for 

generations. After looking for such a property for years, and 

making memories with her family further inland, a longtime 

client of Bentis (her first, in fact) and Owner/Project 

Executive Steven Overstreet of S.J. Overstreet Construction 

Co., Inc. finally had the opportunity to purchase a home on 

the shores of the Atlantic. Patience had delivered paradise. 

The location was exactly what they had been looking for: 

a narrow stretch of land crowned by golden coastal vistas, 

which, hails Bentis, “are the most spectacular views of any 

house I’ve ever seen on the Cape.” 

Sun 

Salutation 


“The home is modern in the most 

perfect way. It has clean lines but with 

materials that feel like they had a hand 

in them, like someone made them.” 

—Lindsay Bentis 

Initially, the intention was to renovate the 1980s era post 

and beam structure, reuniting the team from the client’s 

suburban renovation 10 years prior, which included Bentis 

and Overstreet, as well as Principal Kent Duckham of 

Duckham Architecture & Interiors, Paul Reidt, president of 

Kochman Reidt + Haigh Cabinetmakers, and Founder and 

Principal Stephanie Hubbard of SiteCreative Landscape 

Architecture. Once they began, however, they found that 

the original structure resisted their collective vision. Its 

framework didn’t lend itself to the sea of possibilities or 

celebrate the site’s sublime views, so they began anew. 

What emerged was a beach home without compromise, 

a transcendent, wholly authentic property in which the 

landscape and built environment not only peacefully 

coexist; they bring out the best in one another. Typically 

professionals come in sequentially, explains Reidt, yet this 

project unfolded as a true collaboration in which expertise 

unique to each field came in at the ground floor and was 

granted the freedom to shine. “The outcome,” says Reidt, 

“is a fully integrated work of art.” Overstreet concurs, 

praising the synergy of the organic, one-of-a-kind project 

and a process that moved like a “design/build.” 


Above: A 28-foot multi-sliding Marvin door with 

an automated screen makes up most of the 30- 

foot ocean-facing wall. Right: The ridge skylight 

by Wasco was implemented early in the design. 

It bathes the kitchen in sunlight and was sized to 

match the width and length of the stairwell. An 

art installation by Carolina Sardi was conceived 

expressly for the site. Bentis and Sardi collaborated 

on the formation of its metal disks to give the array 

a certain freedom, and Bentis painted the black and 

white art that hangs across the way. The recessed 

niche of the living room was also a must. “Everyone 

loves a big, open floor plan,” says Bentis, “but it’s 

nice to have a space to curl up within them.” 


Bentis, who grew up near the beaches of Malibu, 

was encouraged to channel the inside/outside living 

opportunities of homes in LA. “You can make that kind of 

West Coast house on the East Coast,” the client told her. 

Duckham, who is known for his traditional seaside 

architecture, embraced the stylistic departure and the 

aesthetic that Bentis and the client had honed over the 

years. Utilizing much of the existing footprint, he pursued a 

design that ebbs and flows within the indoor and outdoor 

realms, using generous amounts of glass, deep overhangs 

and porches both populated and private. 

Inside, the refreshing, clean-lined living spaces read like a 

deep exhale, but their striking simplicity hides the rigors 

demanded of the builder. The home’s parade of windows 

and doors required a mammoth amount of steel and 

structural wood beams, and created little space in the 

exterior walls for a highly technical infrastructure. As for 

the finish work, the modernist details—plaster reveals, no 

trim, and intersections and courses of the tile—required 

tremendous skill and effort from a construction standpoint. 

“It’s a gorgeous house, and it looks simple,” says 

Overstreet, “but even as a builder you don’t appreciate 

how difficult it’s going to be until you start doing it.” 

Bentis warded off any chill modern design can bring with 

a palette pulled from nature, and an honesty to every 

selection. In lieu of bold hues that might disrupt the views, 

she focused instead on textures, materials and forms. 

196 


Every surface has “a patina and a sort of worn quality,” 

she says, and artistry. The character-rich Tay wood, which is 

used lavishly throughout the home, has “a weathered yet 

beautifully refined” look to its proprietary, silver-gray finish, 

says Reidt, while the first-floor feature wall is lined with 

hand glazed Moroccan tile with color variances “that bleed 

and run like a watercolor,” says Bentis. 

Soft finishes and furnishings were shown a level of care 

Bentis would give her own home. She sourced buttery 

leathers that get better with time, reupholstered vintage 

finds with plush yet durable fabrics, designed bespoke 

pieces with Loki Custom Furniture and even painted 

artwork to hang on the walls. “Nothing is harsh or 

perfect,” maintains Bentis. But the effect is. 

Left: KR+H opted for white cabinetry in the 

kitchen to allow the Ann Sacks tile of the island 

and feature wall to prevail. Above: Bentis went 

“soft and serene” in the master bedroom, which 

has the feel of a cruise ship. Automated shades 

shut out the peerless views with the touch of 

a button. The master bath, by all accounts, is a 

masterstroke. It was designed as a wet room, 

with floating vanities, wall-mounted faucets and 

a soft mix of marble and tile by Heath Ceramics. 


The property is “a perfect example of 

what’s possible when great architects and 

tradespeople collaborate, with the common 

goal of creating something truly special.” 

—DaviD Schumacher, Schumacher companieS 

Stephanie Hubbard of SiteCreative also cultivated a 

“natural and serendipitous” sensibility for the landscape 

architecture, extending an elemental, holistic beauty to the 

terrain, terraces, stone and structures. “We feel strongly 

about the materiality of everything connecting,” reveals 

Hubbard, “so the feel of the architecture and interiors is 

brought into the landscape.” Again, the organic is prized. 

SiteCreative developed a planting plan that feels like an 

extension of the shoreline’s existing environment, with 

new native plantings and curated coastal meadows that 

look as if they took root long ago. Their installation was no 

easy task; landscape contractor Schumacher Companies 

had to factor in the timing of seed, plugs 

and larger plant materials, as well as preserve and 

safeguard mature trees. The effect was well worth the 

effort, as the “relaxed” plantings soften the linear stone, 

hardscape and boardwalks that stray from the surf to 

crisscross the site. 

Open-air settings were conceived as a series of outdoor 

rooms with different functions and uses for each time of 

day. Residents can bask in full sun, views or in the flames of 

an outdoor fireplace, grill within a wind-sheltered outdoor 

kitchen or relax in a shaded pergola surrounded by an 

inland meadow. Such experiential moments honor the site, 

which is, after all, why it all began. 

198

a pergola with sun shades as a 

destination within the front yard. 

It is sheltered from the wind, and 

clad in the yellow cedar of the 

architecture. This woodburning 

granite fireplace and star of 

an outdoor terrace was a joint 

effort by Hubbard, Duckham and 

Overstreet. Every stone, after 

being detailed by the architect 

and landscape architect, 

was fabricated, labeled and 

numbered by Freshwater Stone 

out of Maine, and installed onsite 

by crane, piece by piece. 



Landscape 

Architects 

Landscape architects imagine the outdoor 

living spaces that have redefined homes in 

New England. Considering both hardscape 

and softscape, these professionals play up a 

site to its fullest advantage when conceiving 

formal, woodland or pool gardens, terraces 

and outdoor kitchens.

A WORD FROM 

THE LANDSCAPE 

ARCHITECT: 

This pool project represents the 

first time that Onyx Corporation 

collaborated with Gregory Lombardi 

Design. The project entailed fitting a 

pool house, swimming pool and spa 

into a beautiful backyard on the cusp 

of a picturesque Concord meadow. 

Much of what makes the site so 

spectacular also made it a challenge, 

explains Senior Associate and Project 

Manager Rebecca Verner, and the 

landscape architects “had to be 

creative about how to fit in that pool 

terrace and pool house given the 

conservation setbacks.” Their vision 

was to elevate the pool terrace to 

allow it to serve as its own enclosure 

and provide an outlook that captures 

“the romance of a mown lawn as it 

transitions to the meadow beyond,” 

adds Principal Gregory Lombardi, a 

vista he describes as a “visual palate 

cleanser” that seems to slow time. 

The design aesthetic walks the line 

between New England restraint 

and modernity. Fieldstone walls and 

bluestone salvaged from the existing 

terrace were deftly interwoven with 

Morning Mist Granite in a seamless 

mix of old and new. The homeowner 

shared Verner’s passion for materials, 

and she was fascinated by the process 

of selecting stone and finishes. Her 

enthusiasm only paid off, as “the 

granites used around the pool area 

elevated the design,” offers Verner. 

Over the course of this project, Onyx 

Corporation and Gregory Lombardi 

Design formed “a great functional 

relationship,” says Verner, and Onyx 

is now one of her “go-to” firms. 

Onyx did a brilliant job of realizing 

the conception, Verner enthuses. “It 

takes high quality contractors to see 

our design work to the end.” To learn

CREATING 

YOUR 

BACKYARD 

OASIS 

Last summer, residents everywhere were scrambling to 

make a splash in their own backyards and reaching out 

to Onyx Corporation to see just how fast the landscape 

professionals could make that happen. When installing a 

pool, there are many moving parts—it’s 

not just about finding a spot and filling 

’er up. In actuality, the time to begin your 

landscape transformation is now; Onyx 

Corporation rolls out how the process 

should go. 

Homeowners should begin by discussing 

pool ideas with Onyx, leveraging the 

landscape contractor’s deep knowledge 

of the field and their industry contacts. 

Onyx works with a select group of 

landscape architects and can offer 

guidance on finding the right fit for 

your vision. Landscape Division Manager Julie Bergeron 

and Landscape Assistant Manager Megan Moreland 

explain: “The pool is the driving goal, but the landscape 

surrounding it anchors the pool and transforms your yard 

into the ideal getaway space. It is essential that the two be 

cohesive and studied as a whole.” 

Once a schematic design is complete, Onyx works with 

homeowners to meet with pool contractors, compare 

options and review details. Onyx then collaborates with 

Onyx Corporation 

reveals the ideal 

way to put in a 

pool—and all that 

goes with it. 

you, the landscape architect and pool contractor to value 

engineer the design and provide final pricing that aligns with 

your budget. The team will then spearhead the engineering 

and permitting process in order to secure the pool permit. 

Permit in hand, the pool contractor can 

mobilize and excavation can begin. Onyx 

will guide you step-by-step through 

the landscape and pool construction 

process—ranging from gunite and 

plumbing to patios, lawn and lighting, 

and then to the fun, final step, filling 

the pool! During this process, Onyx’s 

full-service team will be onsite, building 

the landscape that envelops your pool, 

including fire features, outdoor kitchens, 

walkways, retaining walls and plantings. 

Bringing these elements to fruition can 

occur simultaneously, and having the right team in place is 

essential for coordination and efficiency. 

Now that you are ready to enjoy your new pool and 

landscape, the last consideration is upkeep. With your 

team in place, Onyx will oversee the transition from 

construction to maintenance. Your landscape and 

pool will be carefully maintained, ensuring the success 

and longevity of your own personal paradise. Visit 

onyxcorporation.net to get started.

Art 

Makes the Difference 

Just twenty minutes from Boston, on Route 9 in Natick, Renjeau Galleries maintains a 

comprehensive collection of fine art by some of the region’s finest established and emerging artists. 

The main gallery, a 100-year-old home with several showrooms, contains the majority of the 

collection. A smaller annex building on the property provides an intimate space used for special 

exhibitions, highlighting a particular artist, or private viewings. 

Many customers enjoy scheduling appointments in the gallery to see the artwork they have 

previewed on Renjeau’s expansive website. It’s an ideal solution for busy clients, and is often 

combined with borrowing on approval or an in-home consultation, which enables clients to 

visualize the art in the home or office space. 

Additionally, Renjeau offers an incredible selection of custom framing choices as well as expert 

fine art restoration.

Elegance 

Meets Excellence 

Boston Billiard Emporium 

combines a passion for antiques 

with painstaking craftsmanship. 

PROfile 

The “Golden Age of Billiards” lasted from the 1860’s until the Great Depression. During 

this period, a billiard table was not simply a game table, it was a piece of furniture of the 

highest caliber. These tables were made by the finest artisans, using rare woods from all 

over the world. 

Since 1975, Boston Billiard Emporium has been New England’s leading conservator 

of antique billiard tables. Owner Stephen Kelly combines his love of antiques with the 

painstaking craftsmanship required to bring the exquisite billiard tables of a bygone era 

back to their original grandeur. 

Their tables have been featured in books, movies and magazines, as well as on NECN’s 

“Dream Home” and PBS’ “This Old House”. Many of New England’s interior designers 

as well as architects have planned their client’s billiard room around a billiard table and 

accessories purchased from Boston Billiards.
