From the Publisher
I can’t help but get a little emotional over this milestone, our 20th
Anniversary issue. My children were 1, 5 and 7 years old when I started
Boston Design Guide/BDG. That brings it all home for me. Where has
the time gone? When I page through back issues of the first years, I
recall every photo shoot like it was yesterday. We no longer use film
for our shoots and production, we’re happily rid of dial-up Internet and
while our mobile phones may be attached to our ears, at least they’re
not mounted in our cars.
The homes featured in my first few issues have stood the test of time.
They truly are timeless in design and structure. Of course, quality never
goes out of style. (See pages 18-27 timeless trends/flashback 20 years
ago) And we’re grateful for that, as quality is the backbone of our
publication. It is how we’ve become the “go-to” resource for New England’s home industry, trusted
to showcase only “the best of the best” for a discerning audience for 20 years. It’s also the reason
we spare no expense when it comes to printing and photography. It’s really quite simple; we’ve
achieved success because everything we do in print and online reflects the highest standards. We are
extraordinarily proud of being the coffee table book displayed prominently, that doesn’t get tossed.
As I have said in many of my publisher letters, let us not take for granted (for one minute), but be
reminded and grateful that these beautiful pictures we all “ooh and aah” over were made possible
by homeowners who have allowed the businesses featured within these pages to photograph their
private sanctuaries. It is a true testament to these business professionals who delivered on their
promises and cultivated great relationships.
Reaching this milestone would not be possible if not for all those who have walked beside me
over the past 20 years. I want to thank each and every one of you: family, friends, past and current
employees and staff, as well as our valued clients and vendors. Thank you for guiding me, pushing
me or hitting me over the head. Honestly, I would not be here “cheering” 20 years without you. The
friendships I have built, the support both professionally and personally given to me, the experiences I
have enjoyed…well, it’s humbling to say the least. What a great run it has been. Here’s to many more
years of being the first and longest-running home publication in New England.
Cheers!

The design industry grows as our lifestyles do. It
reflects our individual tastes and trends, as well as the
ever-evolving digital era.
I’ve grown up with the movement of the web and
have seen how much our lifestyles have changed because
of it. My time now is easily divided between the screen
and actual life—and I know I’m not just speaking for
myself on that! I’m often discovering home shopping
websites and apps that deliver straight to your door. There
is always something new coming out. In this digital era the
luxury of convenience is everywhere, but is the quality?
There’s so much available at our fingertips that content
can be misleading, and the allure of getting something
quick and cheap is often traded for having something
custom and long lasting. Twenty years ago when BDG launched, and it was the sole
home resource guide in New England, our mission was clear: to provide our readers
with the best home resources. We strive every day to achieve this online by offering our
followers the simplicity and sophistication that reflects the pages of this publication.
Through our website, social media and e-newsletters, we give you the luxury of
convenience along with the trusted quality of professionals we represent. Follow us online

Milestones that
changed the home
industry
“Both hand drawn renderings and CAD drawings
are integral tools in the design process.”
-John and Laura Meyer,
Meyer & Meyer, Inc.
At BDG, we’re grateful to have
relationships with professionals who
have been with us since our inception
20 years ago. Feeling nostalgic, we
combed through the archives to
find milestones that have changed
our industry, coveted New England
designs, and projects showcased
in our first few editions that are
still relevant today. We honor and
highlight some of the best projects
and professionals we’ve encountered.
2000
Outdoor Living
Since the millennium, says Bob Marzilli, of R.P. Marzilli
& Company, New Englanders have shown an
increased interest in “taking the indoors outdoors.”
The demand for creating backyard oases has been
on the rise ever since.
1997
The Advent of CAD
Zhu/Yin Residence
The CAD (Computer Aided Design) revolution
enabled designers to layout and develop work onscreen
and save it for future editing, saving time on
drawings and changes.
2005
The Green Movement
“When people come home, they
want to put their feet up outside. It
creates a whole new world for them.”

20th ANNIVERSARY
(Left) LDa Architecture & Interiors is “sharing in Boston’s
multi-unit housing boom,” with more downtown
projects than ever before. The firm attributes the growth
to an “urban/suburban housing swap, where downsizing
baby-boomers and millennials are headed to the city.”
“It has to be one of the most exciting
times to be a builder in Boston.”
- Allison Iantosca,
F.H. Perry Builder
2010
City Living
Allison Iantosca of F.H.
Perry Builder notes that
the demographics have
changed. Unlike years
past, young families are
more eager to immerse
themselves in the city’s
energy and burgeoning
resources.
2017
Technology Advances
TVs have only been
getting bigger and
better. It’s the 4K OLED
(Light Emitting Diode)
TV that has everyone
talking. The screen’s
eye-catching images
can be viewed well at
any angle, unlike earlier
flat-screen models.
Kenneth Vona Construction has employed
a host of techniques, including water
management, “outsulating,” HVAC and
energy consumption and a tight build
envelope, to reduce the strain of carbon
emissions on the environment and bring
peace of mind and savings to homeowners.
“iDevices have taken total
home automation to an
entirely new level”

then&
now
We compare current aspects of home design to those
from 20 years ago, to see what has—or hasn’t—changed.
CREATIVE SYSTEMS
Pass the popcorn, there have been major advances on the home theater front during
the last 20 years. Steve Collotta, president of Creative Systems, asserts that projectors
have been transformed by new technologies. Gone are the days of the three-gun RGB
projectors. Now, high-def 4K laser projectors are the best and brightest. The image
quality is beyond compare, and they make quite an impact on the large screen. Years
ago, you had to dim the lights to catch a flick; these days you can let in the sun.
WESTON KITCHENS
Twenty years ago, there was the view that
American manufacturing was third-rate, explains
James Simko of Weston Kitchens. “If you could
afford it, sleek European cars, appliances,
clothing and cabinets were a ‘must.’” This
earlier European contemporary kitchen design
in light maple and mahogany is an example. Its
streamlined cabinet doors, high-gloss finishes
and gentle curves make it “the pinnacle of
sophisticated luxury.” Today, transitional kitchen
designs are en vogue. While the “quality,
variety and functionality of appliances is quickly
changing,” says Simko, as have the high-quality
storage options,
THEN “the basics of
superior kitchen
design” by top
pros remain largely
unchanged. To
this day, he adds,
accomplished cooks
often know the best
possible kitchen
layouts for a given
space.
THEN
TILE SHOWCASE
Stone was just becoming popular 20 years ago, says Fred Merullo of Tile Showcase.
Rustic tumbled stone in warm earth tones were the norm, with treatments layering
on the sizes and embellishments. The same held true for tile, offers Merullo. Designs
featured layers of color, often hand-painted tile and the moldings were done with a
heavy hand. Today, “the looks are cleaner, and more sophisticated, with a focus on
texture and natural looking products” (think porcelains that look like wood or stone).
Cooler tones—grays and whites—have become the coveted hues, and we’re also seeing
elegant combinations of glass and stone.
THEN
SPLASH
Two decades ago, Splash debuted this
beautiful translucent basin when Kohler’s
vessel sinks were first coming into the market.
It was “inspired by fine crystal,” says a Splash
spokesperson, and boasts a radiant color
and unique design that looks handcrafted.
Today, the Vitraform sink is making waves. This
stunner is the most luxurious glass product in
the marketplace, maintain the pros at Splash,
and sought out by those who want a sleek and
spa-like master bath. The elite series offers
clear and frosted finishes, as well as engraved
and gilded versions.

THEN
20th ANNIVERSARY
BACK BAY SHUTTER CO., INC.
Bill Morton, vice president of Back Bay Shutter Co.,
Inc. chuckles that window treatments haven’t changed
much in 20 years, or even 3,000, what with names like
Roman shades and Venetian blinds. By far the biggest
change in the last 20 years, he says, is the ability
to motorize them, including those on a skylight, a
notoriously challenging window to treat.
THEN
KOTZEN INTERIORS, LLP
Barbara Kotzen of Kotzen Interiors, LLP studies
these two bedroom scenes and says without
hesitation that her design philosophy hasn’t
changed. Twenty years ago, her mission was to
achieve interior designs of luxury and comfort
that appear effortless. Her approach considers
the room as a whole—its architecture, finishes,
fabrics and furniture.
ARCHITECTURAL
KITCHENS, INC.
Back in the 1990s and 2000s, says owner Bill
Prachnick, “everybody wanted fussier kitchens” that
were heavy on the embellishments—features like
the fluted pilasters, glazed finishes, handpainted
tiles and moldings shown here. Today, “homeowners
are looking for simplified, sophisticated—but not
contemporary—kitchen designs,” says Prachnick.
Natural elements, surfaces
of wood or stone, are THEN
reflected in the heart of the
home. Lighter countertops,
white marble particularly,
have picked up where
darker shades left off.
Backsplashes have gone
“more basic,” and people
have taken a shine to nickel
finishes for hardware.

New England Standards
Recognizing quintessential New England style homes that were featured in our first editions.
PATRICK AHEARN ARCHITECT
This beloved home in Wellesley, designed by Patrick
Ahearn Architect, is heavy on the romance and
universal in its appeal. Elevated on a verdant knoll,
with stone walls that terrace down to the streetscape,
this cottage-style house has a commanding but
approachable presence. With its 12 pitch chunky wood
shingled roofs, New England stone and deep set windows,
this home has a gentle rhythm and a seamless design. Its architecture
has seen five additions, but you’d never know it.
DUCKHAM ARCHITECTURE & INTERIORS
Located on the tip of Chatham’s Morris Island, this new
construction by Duckham Architecture & Interiors has
all of the hallmarks of a classic Cape Cod home—
weathered shingle siding, a red cedar shingled roof and
a wraparound porch that looks out to Nantucket Sound.
Perched atop a bluff overlooking the dune, this beautiful
site posed a challenge many wouldn’t tackle, as it slopes
dramatically from left to right. They kept the roofline
low to buffer against coastal winds but gave it Gambrel
elements so it feels spacious inside.
KENNETH VONA CONSTRUCTION
This beautiful Colonial
crafted by Kenneth Vona
Construction is steeped in
a decidedly New England
sensibility, and is, quite
possibly, an architectural
representation of the
American dream. A vision
in stone, clapboard,
copper and slate, the home showcases a full palette of traditional
New England materials. Multiple fireplaces, bay and ox-eye
windows, dormers, porticos and porches carry this classic far from
the realm of the everyday.
BOSTON BILLIARD EMPORIUM
“Many of the antique pool tables we sell at Boston Billiard
Emporium were made right here in New England,” says
Owner Stephen Kelly, and “built by the hands of New England
craftsmen.” Years ago, these magnificent tables were regarded
as furniture and owned only by the affluent. The hand-hewn
pieces wore the style of the
furnishings of the day; the
Victorian Era featured rare
woods and ornate details,
while the pool tables of
the Arts and Crafts Period
had simpler lines and were
fashioned in quarter sawn
white oak.
22
bostondesignguide.com

ADOLFO PEREZ ARCHITECT
20th ANNIVERSARY
This home was one of Adolfo Perez’s first major “modern” projects, says the
principal. He inherited it from an architect who had completed the exterior of
rough fieldstone in a traditional New England design, but had a vision for the
interior that differed from the owner’s. Perez was greeted by a “bare shell,” where he
could juxtapose a more modern sensibility against the traditional one of the façade. To
do so, he “balanced the almost primitive character of the stone walls with a palette of more
refined but robust materials and finishes.” He also fashioned “rooms” by creating freestanding
furniture partitions within the space, allowing the materials to speak for themselves. This
sculptural way of designing still informs his work today.
SANFORD CUSTOM BUILDERS
As its name indicates, the Colonial has been the classic
American home from the time the settlers stepped foot in
this nation and began building communities. A fondness
for the style is almost innate, and “ingrained into the New
England psyche,” says Marc Kaplan of Sanford Custom
Builders. This particular Colonial in historic Concord is
successful for its stellar design and construction. The red brick
and white trim is a winning combination that people have been
viewing for years. You can find the same red brick used on this project
in Harvard Yard.
MGA | MARCUS GLEYSTEEN ARCHITECTS
The first official house of MGa | Marcus Gleysteen Architects,
this home was based on a similar style that Marcus Gleysteen
had designed for a family member in Weston. A passerby saw
the striking Shingle Style, pulled in the driveway and asked for
the name of the architect. A new incarnation was born. The
home shown here was informed by the classic Shingle Styles
on the shores of Maine and Gleysteen’s coastal travels, where
he noted that many captains’ homes had entrances with “a
Chinese aspect to them.” The latter inspired Gleysteen to
develop his “own modern interpretation of
classical details,” which find expression in
the decorative portico with white trim.
FALLON CUSTOM HOMES & RENOVATIONS
This expansive Shingle Style new construction by Fallon
Custom Homes looks like it belongs at the beach,
says Owner Peter Fallon, rather than its Brookline
locale. It has all of the hallmarks of the timeless
style—the shingles, sloped roofline, shutters,
chimney and stone terraces—and more than a
few inspired details. Exquisite window details
grace four full floors at the rear elevation, says
Fallon, and “really make the house.”
bostondesignguide.com 23

Timeless
trends
We asked the principals what makes these
designs from 20 years ago so enduring, and
what they’d do differently today, if anything.…
Jan Gleysteen Architects, Inc.
This gray and gracious clapboard home is ageless, offers Jan Gleysteen
because it incorporates elements of classicism, employing design
principles that stretch back to the Renaissance, never mind 20 years.
The studied use of symmetry gives the home lasting appeal (note the
two strong gable wings and the “sunrise” archway that echoes the front
door portico), as does its geometry and the hierarchy of the home’s
massing. Its “bas-relief design,” comprised of four plane walls, creates tension
and interest, and the composition as a whole is softened by boxwoods, and
wisteria that climbs along the pergola. Were Gleysteen to do it again today? He’d likely
panelize the window atop the portico to mirror those of the twin bay windows.
Gregory Lombardi Design
This landscape of a genteel New England
waterfront home is successful years
later because of the feeling it conjures,
says Gregory Lombardi. The scene is
“an invitation to slow down” that’s about
engaging with the water, and, possibly,
memories. Even at the time of completion it
harkened back to an earlier time; it was quietly
inserted (from scratch!) in a way that preserved the
character of the vista. While oceanside environmental
regulations are complex, this design has a less-is-more
sensibility. The gate is elegant and simple to keep the focus
on the view, says Lombardi, while the boardwalk is a trigger
that delivers a “jolt of excitement,” compelling onlookers to
speed down its path and splash in the sea.
Anthony Catalfano Interiors, Inc.
A thorough understanding of proportion and scale give this
rich bedroom a lasting appeal that is as relevant today as it was
when it was created 20 years ago. It has an “eclectic but clean”
feel says Anthony Catalfano, that has staying power, thanks to
its neutral palette and decorative accents, including draperies
hung from stainless steel wire and a white leather upholstered
bed embellished with bronze nailheads. Plus, the room’s
fireside vantage and collection of contemporary art never go
out of style.
24
bostondesignguide.com

20th ANNIVERSARY
Nicholaeff Architecture
+ Design, Inc.
Most architects, maintains Doreve
Nicholaeff, strive for designs that are
timeless, and Nicholaeff feels she achieved that goal with this
complete renovation and addition to a Cape Cod ranch-style cottage.
It helps, of course, that the materials she utilized 20 years ago have
long been part of Cape Cod’s architectural landscape and show no
signs of stopping. Nicholaeff is most influenced by “the big picture,”
how the house sits on the land, and how it functions for the owner.
If those things are successful, the design endures. If she were to
design the house again today, she’d consider advances that fall outside
the realm of design. She’d raise the foundation to suit the changed
floodplain, update the HVAC system and insulation and enjoy
selecting the tile, appliances and fixtures from the wealth of options
on the market today.
LDa Architecture & Interiors
This red cedar shingle-clad retreat in Essex prevails because of its
rich architectural character and strong connection to the grand
summer homes that have dotted the North Shore coastline since
the 19th century, offers Treffle LaFleche. Its durable materials also
stand the test of time, and its contemporary composition and
open-living floor plan continue to be of-the-moment. While the
home’s double-hung windows are still prevalent today, LaFleche
might go with larger casements for a more European aesthetic,
tone down the historic reference a skosh and change up the crisp
white trim that shows the wear more than a darker stain would.
Detail Millwork, Inc.
This fireplace mantel, crafted by Owner Richard Rigoli of Detail Millwork, “was
meant to be simple yet elegant,” says Rigoli, “and I think it hits the mark.” The
striking architectural detail is the focus of an inviting living room and was
designed in African striped mahogany and trimmed with stainless steel. The
rich veneers of the handsome hearth have to be matched to get the look
and grain just right, and then vacuum pressed to resemble one solid piece
of wood. Good craftsmanship lasts forever, explains Rigoli, so he wouldn’t
change a thing. “If you were to look at this today, you’d think I did it last
week. But I did it 20 years ago.”
Catalano Architects
This stunning foyer designed by Catalano Architects pays homage to the
“‘Living Hall,’ which was “an integral element of the Shingle Style work
of firms like Peabody & Stearns and Arthur Little,” explains Principal Tom
Catalano. The entrance evokes the designs of the storied,
prolific firms of the Gilded Age, but updates the traditional
configuration of the switchback stair often seen in the
Shingle Styles of yore by virtue of its simple detailing
and palette of off-white stained wood. There is also
a subtle nod to an Oriental sensibility utilized by
premier Beaux Arts architect Stanford White. Says,
Catalano, “the railing is reminiscent of the way that
White’s interior architecture was influenced by
domestic Japanese interiors.”

Allin the
For many of the companies featured within Boston
Design Guide’s pages, a commitment to excellence
isn’t just good business, it’s personal.
Clarke
FAMILY
Tom Clarke launched Clarke Distribution Company, when he was chosen
by Sub-Zero as the first wholesale distributor in New England. What began
with a small showroom and just six employees has morphed into two
award-winning showrooms, a Culinary Service Center, an appliance service
company, and, along with Sub-Zero, many more elite brands. Tom and his son,
Sean, who was recently named president, have positioned Clarke to be an
indispensable resource for the trade and homeowners alike, as they can “Test
Drive” appliances in the showroom.

Gary and Scott Sweeney’s father William Sweeney,
always loved working with his hands. He was a
“Mr. Fix-It” type who repaired antiques out of his
garage. In 1977, he bought the barn where Yankee
Craftsman stands today. Gary and Scott Sweeney,
the youngest of the band of brothers who now
run the antiques restoration and lighting company,
inherited their dad’s love of tinkering and rewiring.
Yankee Craftsman has been involved with major
restorations at Harvard University, the State
House, and other historic properties and has lit up
the big screen for myriad movie sets.
Louis W. Mian, Inc.
For Louis W. Mian, Inc., it’s not only the artistry, it’s the
expertise that extends back four generations. The company’s
depth of knowledge first began when mosaic artisan Angelo
Mian of Italy arrived in Boston at age 26, and it has continued—
uninterrupted—ever since.
Over time, the firm has grown to include two more generations
and garnered an unprecedented 10 consecutive National
Awards for excellence in terrazzo and mosaic. After seeing the
demand for marble and granite, Louis W. Mian Jr. redirected the
focus to include all types of natural stone, but he didn’t shift the
business’s unwavering commitment to quality.
Roger Pelissier Photography
Roger Pelissier Photography, a portrait studio in the heart of
Wellesley, is a joint creative venture co-owned by Roger and Nancy
Pelissier. The husband-and-wife team have developed a winning
strategy: “I take the photos,” says Roger. “She’s the boss.”
Roger, whose artistry is widely represented throughout these
pages, “focuses on anything with people.” His studio is a family
affair on both sides of the lens. “We see a lot of families every year,
so we get to see those kids grow and mature and turn into adults,”
says Roger. “It’s at the point now where they are hiring us to
photograph their kids, so we’ve moved onto the next generation.”

20th ANNIVERSARY
F.H. Perry Builder
Allison Iantosca, owner of F.H. Perry Builder says at our
company, “We all feel like we kind of grew up under Dad.”
She’s speaking, of course, of Finley Perry who launched the
company in the mid 70s, with a carpentry and trade focus
before converting it to the “management model” that is
thriving today. Finley always “found great joy in the other
people in this industry, and I have shared that with him,” says
Iantosca. He was also humble, didn’t sweat the competition
and was staunchly dedicated to craft and building well.
Dad would be proud; Iantosca has not only continued his
legacy, she has put her own stamp on the distinguished
construction company.
Renjeau Galleries
When Renate Rosenfield opened Renjeau Galleries 40 years ago, she
says, “We knew art, but we didn’t know anything about retail.” One
evening, she and her husband “had the crazy idea of opening an art
gallery.” They had lived in the Boston area for all of three months when
they saw a “For Lease” sign on a Natick space. The rent was cheap,
and Rosenfield found herself with a gallery. Her impulse paid off. Her
son, Rob, who studied art history, joined her in the business 20 years
in. Together, they’ve added a wealth of custom framing options and a
second building on-site for exhibitions.
The MacDowell Company
Not too many people can say they launched their
business at age 16, but Roy MacDowell Jr. can. With
a pickup and an enviable work ethic, Roy did stone
masonry and enlisted his four brothers to help, among
them, Bruce MacDowell Jr.’s father. Fifty years later, the
second generation is taking the firm to new heights.
With Bruce overseeing all business operations. Bruce,
too, was immersed in the field at a young age, mixing
cement for the stonemasons, until Roy invited him into
the office to learn project and business management.
For both, their business is a passion, and the key to the
award-winning company’s success. “My father always
told me, whatever you’re going to be in life, make sure
you’re the best at it,” says Roy.
Jarvis Appliance
Jarvis Appliance has always been service minded. In fact,
before Antonio Jarvis founded his own company in 1957,
he worked as a repair technician for a major/sales and
service company. As his clientele and reputation grew, he
was able to rent his own shop and branch into sales, as
well. Today, his children Nancy and Tony run the business
he began in a state-of-the-art showroom in Wellesley and
offer over a dozen brands of appliances. They also, of
course, “service what they sell.”

Vision
ACCOMPLISHED
Forty years spent building and renovating homes for people brings a lot of satisfaction.
And, a lot of knowledge. It means we know the ins and outs of working inside just
about every Boston neighborhood as well as those surrounding them.
Whether it’s successfully managing traffi c fl ow to allow for our construction deliveries down
one of those charmingly narrow, one-way streets in Cambridge, or handling the nuanced
differences in pulling permits from Beacon Hill to the waterfront, we thrive on making the
complex simple. Then there’s the decades worth of project time spent in Weston, Wellesley,
Newton, and Brookline restoring estates and residences that have stood the test of time, and
building others to join their ranks.
Headed by Allison Iantosca, the F.H. Perry Team helps homeowners move projects
from dreaming about to creating. In their hands, a specialized building process ensures
both schedule and budget while workmanship remains uncompromised. It’s exceptionally
rewarding and why those in the trade and homeowners alike count on F.H. Perry to
deliver on their vision.

Makes the Difference
Just twenty minutes from Boston, on Route 9 in Natick, Renjeau Galleries maintains a
comprehensive collection of fi ne art by some of the region’s fi nest 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 offi ce space.
Additionally, Renjeau offers an incredible selection of custom framing choices as well as expert
fi ne art restoration.

Elegance
Meets Excellence
Boston Billiard Emporium combines a passion for antiques with painstaking craftsmanship.
PROfi l e
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 fi nest 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.
New pool tables are also available at Boston Billiard Emporium. These tables can
be customized by selecting the species of wood, color of stain, cloth and pockets
so that the table works better in your space. You will also fi nd a great selection of
accessories, as well as a full-service repairs department for anything that may go
wrong with your table.

Land
A working gentleman’s farm in
Dover celebrates its agrarian roots.
bostondesignguide.com 147

“I love everything about this room.
It imbues a sense of calm.”
- Barbara Kotzen
148
bostondesignguide.com

Growing up back in Minnesota, home was
a cattle and dairy farm. A kinship with the
land and a hand-to-soil connection was bred
and valued, and tended as earnestly as the
fields and livestock. So, when work brought
a Midwestern family to Massachusetts, this
mind-set traveled with them, where it would
steer the narrative for their new home, here
in New England.
The family wanted farming in their lives, and in their
child’s life, and enlisted Catalano Architects to design an
agrarian-based homestead, or, what principal Tom Catalano
terms a “gentleman’s farm.” The land and structures would
be more than picturesque; there would be “a real farming
component,” says Catalano, where the client could raise beef
cattle and poultry.
They were drawn to a working farm in Dover that was
for sale and part of a land trust preserving the town’s rural
character. The fertile, rolling property would allow them to
provide some of their acreage to a local farmer who runs
a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share program
that supplies residents with fresh produce, and leave the
family of three ample room for pastures and fields of their
own, a vegetable garden, an agricultural barn for their cows
and chickens, a second, more upscale barn for dinner parties
and business meetings, a pool and pool house, and a gracious
new main residence.
The land drove the site plan for the estate’s many features,
explains principal project manager Troy Sober, who worked
closely with landscape architect Gregory Lombardi of
Gregory Lombardi Design. The house was carefully sited
to indulge the existing landscape and “take advantage of its
splendor,” says Sober. “We worked hard with the architect
to capture good sun views, long views of their lawn and the
open fields beyond.”
A spring-fed pond on the northeast side of the grounds,
stocked with trout for fly-fishing, also informed the program.
So much so that Catalano designed the main residence—a
majestic yet approachable manor mixing western red cedar
clapboard, red cedar shingle and natural New England
fieldstone—in the shape of a Y, so that both ends of the home
embrace the serene, scenic amenity.
The house was oriented for maximum southern exposure
to afford golden meadow views and interior spaces flooded
with natural light. The agricultural barn, too, was positioned
to face south, explains Jon Wardwell, president of J.W.
Construction, as the client desired an “energy-neutral” home,
scripted with a sustainability story. The rustic post-and-beam
structure was the first construct built, and equipped with
solar panels that “generate enough power to feed the house,”
and run the geothermal wells, says Wardwell.
This sensitivity to setting informed decisions great and
small. While erecting the conference barn—an outbuilding
bostondesignguide.com 149

The owners have a Midwestern value
that they bring to the table every day and an appreciation for
craft. Time and time again, they’ve thanked the workers for
what they were able to build for them.

With its luscious fabrics and furnishings, the
formal dining room is the most lavish space
in the house. The Rose Tarlow chinoiserie
piece under the mirror is “a work of art,”
enthuses Kotzen.
bostondesignguide.com 151

with masterful woodworking and a New England fieldstone
fireplace at its core—the client had a root cellar chiseled into
the earth beneath the stone steps of the hillside. Doing so
would provide the CSA farmer precious underground space
to store potatoes, squash and other produce during winter.
They also opted to transplant a prized, decades-old
magnolia tree that was beloved by the former owner and
rooted where the pool terrace would be. “We could have
just cut that tree down,” reveals principal Bob Marzilli of
landscape contractor R.P. Marzilli & Company. Instead, “we
balled and burlapped it and moved it with a crane to make it
a focal point on the property,” preserving the site’s heritage.
New uses were also found for ledge, recycled granite and
the white pines that needed to be cleared, maintains Marzilli.
The ledge now functions as masonry, appearing in fieldstone
walls reborn after falling into disrepair or as boulders defining
the pond, while the timber was harvested and finished at a
Western Massachusetts mill, and used for the walls in a study,
and flooring on the third level and in-law suite.
That select materials were sourced and salvaged is
impressive, but what is even more noteworthy is how well
they’re employed. The home’s overall sensibility may be “a
relaxed yet traditional design aesthetic,” says Catalano, but
there is nothing relaxed about the craft behind the interior
and exterior details, windows, masonry and woodwork.
David O’Brien of Ares Structures, who provided the custom

chandeliers, frames the piano as well as the view. Says Sober,
“We worked hard to capture these little vignettes of living in an
agrarian landscape even inside the house.”

story for the landscape
as if we were leaving an heirloom on the site.” —Troy Sober

where they awaited a place in the flower beds worthy of their provenance.
framing and exterior carpentry, expresses the view of everyone
on the team: “Everything about that house is beautiful. The
aesthetics, the scale and proportion are spot on.”
While a grand home, Catalano downplayed its size, breaking
it down into smaller subcomponents. In fact, he says, “from
any one view you can never really take in the entire house.”
Rusticity was saved for the barns; the main residence is
refined and balanced, full of settings that are catch-yourbreath
beautiful. The artistry of interior designer Barbara
Kotzen of Kotzen Interiors, LLP, is woven into the layers of
every room; she has conceived elegant, intimate living spaces
that invite you to sit and stay awhile. The tranquil living room
subtly shimmers in silver, white and soft blue, while the regal
dining room dazzles with its angled fireplace, commissioned
oil painting and Scalamandré fabric on its upholstered walls.
The home is a composite of a thousand design decisions—
the metals in the tile of a powder room, the onyx surround
of a fireplace, the woodwork in the “his and her” studies, the
Rose Tarlow chinoiserie piece in the dining room, and the
many works of art, most inspired by nature and commissioned
expressly for a space, selected by Kotzen and the owner with
consultant Julie Mussafer of Jules Place.
“Everyone needs a Barbara,” contends the owner, crediting
Kotzen with presenting choices that made her believe she
helped craft the surroundings. “She made me feel like I did
this,” she says, with an appreciative wave of her hand. Which
is just how Kotzen likes it. My interiors, offers Kotzen, are
“reflective of the client’s taste and how they want the house
to feel.” In this home, that feeling is one of livable luxury.

Every level of this home cultivates
an indoor-outdoor connection.
The breeze, the salt air and the setting’s natural elements become design essentials.
A

descended on the postcard-perfect peninsula on
Buzzards Bay for years, returning to the summer
playground for lazy, memory-filled days, where
time, for a few blissful months, unfolds at a gentler
pace. This exposed enclave, carved by famed landscape architect
Frederick Law on a promontory facing due west, has to be among
the most spectacular on Cape Cod. It’s blessed by a natural backdrop
of sparkling waters and dramatic, fiery sunsets and now, courtesy of
Hutker Architects, an extraordinary, boldly-realized Shingle Style
home in which to enjoy it.
The goal of Mark Hutker, principal of Hutker Architects, is to
evolve the art of residential architecture even as it looks back.
“To understand it. To learn from it, and then move it forward to
accommodate our new lifestyles, technologies and our new ways of
life.” This is exactly what he did for a major renovation of a 100-yearold-plus
home, carriage house addition, pool house and boathouse.
A seaside sanctuary that is equal parts invention and beauty, and
etched with a respect for tradition and modern-day functionality.
Rebuilding on Olmsted’s terrain in a community “that values
its architectural heritage” is a responsibility. But Hutker Architects
found in C.H. Newton Builders, Inc. craftspeople with a “rich
history of generational construction” and a depth of understanding
for the construction details specific to the coastal locale.
The architectural program preserved as much of the existing
structure as possible, including its historic core, but called for a
new ground-level floor with an open plan for contemporary living
and entertaining. To achieve this, C.H. Newton Builders lifted the
top two flights from the existing home and rolled them aside, while
they poured the new foundation and built the first-floor deck. The
topmost sections were then set back in place by crane, where they
fit perfectly. Fortunately, says Chairman and CEO David Newton,
“After being in the business for 32 years, I love a good challenge.”
As C.H. Newton Builders crafts everything from historic
preservations to ultra modern high-end residences, his firm’s
versatility came shining through. “When Hutker and his team
designed the house, he saved so much from the original,” he explains,
praising Hutker for the dexterous way he blended old with new.
The concept developed organically. Says Hutker, “The upper two
floors had great character, featured by a gable roof, unique chevronshaped
dormers and beautiful shingle details unique to the craft of
the local builder.” His tone reveals it’s a privilege to safeguard such
details and weave them throughout the inviting new constructs.

designed the house, he saved so much from the original,” he explains,
praising Hutker for the dexterous way he blended old with new.
The concept developed organically. Says Hutker, “The upper two
floors had great character, featured by a gable roof, unique chevronshaped
dormers and beautiful shingle details unique to the craft of
the local builder.” His tone reveals it’s a privilege to safeguard such
details and weave them throughout the inviting new constructs.

This convivial coastal kitchen
reflects a modern way of life.
The kitchen, with its hidden pantry, is “out of the
ordinary,” says Newton. “A walk back in time.”
And yet it also features state-of-the-art,
of-the-moment appliances.

“In a lot of the homes we build,”
says David Newton, “the next generation and
the generations to follow come back to revisit the
past as their ancestors saw it.”
Hutker created “smaller, more intimate moments in
the house and in the landscape,” he says. The master
bedroom turret (far right) is just such a space, as are
multiple roof decks that are separate from the primary
outdoor areas and perfect for quiet reading or sunbathing.

Panoramic views of the water with its steady parade of boats, the
beaches and those sensational sunsets are captured within the interior
living spaces. Porches surround the home’s perimeter on every level
and lift-and-slide doors “open, almost completely on the north and west
side of the home,” says Newton, extending the magnificent terrain.
Richard Hallberg of Richard Hallberg Interior Design continued
the indoor-outdoor connection within the home’s luxurious, livable
setting. He fills the tranquil, polished spaces with natural fibers and
textures for an effect that’s like the perfect beach day—sunny and crisp
and restorative.
State-of-the-art designs and amenities are featured throughout the
surroundings. The owners chose the “most current and modern features
and design in today’s appliances,” offers Service Manager Ken Crane of
Crane Appliance. Creative Systems configured “rock solid, easy-to-use”
audio and video, lighting and climate control, and motorized shades
for all three buildings, says Director of Systems Development Ronnie
Zielinski, wrapping audio throughout the exposed deck, installing
custom speakers in the stone pool house floor and incorporating a TV
lift on a swivel in the kitchen that can be viewed from any angle.
Even the landscape, conceived by Reed Hilderbrand and executed
by R.P. Marzilli & Company, has a sleek aesthetic. “It’s more modern
than what Olmsted would have done,” says Principal Bob Marzilli,
and boasts a linear, contemporary style. While gorgeous, the exposed
grounds didn’t come easily. R.P. Marzilli had to establish plantings at
the shoreline and seed rather than sod the expansive grass—all under
a constant wind.
The end result, however, is a beautiful, lush lawn that stretches to
the sea. Grounds that are worthy of an extraordinary property that will
call to current and someday generations, and allow them to experience
Cape Cod in the summer just like those who came before them.

HIP to be
Square
Adolfo Perez, principal of Adolfo Perez Architect, was
commissioned to create a comfortable, family estate for
the client, something “traditional, with a twist.” Yet as the
design process evolved, so did the new owners’ resolve
to inhabit something a little more unique. “Traditional”
soon morphed into unabashedly modern, with Perez,
together with general contractor Thoughtforms,
delivering a beautifully linear home that prizes function
and form, and isn’t afraid to make a statement.
bostondesignguide.com 165

The striking, sculptural house has
a distinctively horizontal feeling,
rendered by a stone wrap along the
entire first floor answered by fourfoot,
flat roof overhangs. Its exterior is
composed in stucco and Vals quartzite, a beautiful
stone from Switzerland that mingles blue, gray
and green tones, and “more importantly,” says
Perez, “a broken cleft face.” This face of the
stone courses in varying heights and textures,
and gives the home a less formal feeling. It
also “anchors the stone to the land,” maintains
Mark Doughty, principal at Thoughtforms. The
rugged surface provides a stylistic counterpoint
to the smooth stucco and clean expanses of
floor-to-ceiling windows—design features in
and of themselves—that bring the outdoors in
and bathe the interior spaces in glorious light,
sending it deep into the home.
There is a truth to the home’s setting that is
achieved by an aesthetic driven by function. A
dramatic floating stair in the two-story entrance
hall serves as an emblem of this design
philosophy. Equal parts beauty and utility,
the concrete stair is, quite literally, the “heart
of the home,” says Perez. The residence is
organized around the visual centerpiece, which
is “designed and engineered like a bridge, and
anchored on two sides,” says Perez. The effect
is one of “apparent simplicity,” offers Doughty,
however, the mechanics involved—the weight,
the time needed for the concrete to reach its
full strength and the calculations needed for
precision, make this design feature spectacular.

The streams of sunlight that pervade the open,
airy interior settings keep the modern space from
coming off as cold or stark. A neutral color palette and
end grain wood block warm the concrete floors and
minimal wall treatments for an industrial sensibility that
still feels homey. A “less-is-more” feeling, as well as
one of innate glamour is pervasive. Living spaces are
set off by furniture arrangements and forms, metallics
dance with one another, eye-catching works of art and
lighting designs radiate in all directions, while supple
fabrics and downy, piled rugs soften the hard edges.
As one might guess, this modern manse is a smart
home. Creative Systems installed a Crestron system
that allows the homeowner to control the audiovisual,
lighting, air conditioning and heating, and set “scenes”
bridging all of these elements from a touch panel or
remote control. Principal Steve Collotta admits that,
while it was challenging to run wire through the largely
concrete property, Creative Systems addressed the
acoustics when refining the sound system, sending
music soaring throughout the home and into the
landscape.
Outside, the goal was to create a connection
between the structures, namely, the main house,
outdoor kitchen and living room and pool house,
without “a formal unifying element,” says Perez. It
was determined that the main home should grace the
northernmost boundary of the open, doglegged site
to harness the sun and allow views to the South. The
other constructs would be linked by landscaped paths
and surround a large, rear yard.

Landscape contractor Bob Marzilli, principal of
R.P. Marzilli & Company, praises landscape architect
Stephen Stimson’s design of a “plank-style pattern
that adds to the contemporary lines of the project
as whole.” The grounds’ bold geometry pits a lush
yard against stone—flat work and granite from Maine,
and the landscape walls and outdoor fireplace from
the Adirondacks. While initially Vals quartzite was
specified for the latter, Marzilli sourced a more costeffective
solution that would still bring the conformity
the project warranted. He was able to match the tones
found in the home’s veneer with stone quarried in the
Adirondacks, and have his team split it and fabricate it
for the cohesive, grounded effect of the estate.
One of the exterior’s most compelling features,
says Perez, is the entrance courtyard for the approach
to the home. It’s “created by two, one-story wings
that form an enclosed courtyard, landscaped with
bamboo and a small water feature that one crosses
over to reach the actual front door,” says Perez. As
it doesn’t face the street, there’s a sense of privacy
to it, as well as a sense of ceremony. A portal to the
confines within, it sets the stage for a sanctuary that
is almost elemental in form, crafted with beauty and
honesty, that places the focus squarely on family.

WALK INTO ANY GENERAL STORE OR KITSCHY GIFT SHOP IN NEW HAMPSHIRE’S
Lakes Region and you’ll see vintage, hand painted signs announcing: “Life is Better at the Lake.” After
spending time amid the pine-laden hills and silvery waters of Lake Winnipesaukee—a heaven-sent
terrain of misty blues and moss greens where vacationers flock to swim, boat, hike or simply get off
the grid for awhile—you’re bound to agree.
bostondesignguide.com 173

The Great Room is on axis with the dining
area and kitchen, utilizing columns over walls
to differentiate the spaces; Right: Situated
lakeside, the porch was crafted as an ideal
spot for afternoon naps and hanging out. It
mingles different wood species—cedar, fir and
even twig—for a playful effect.
174
bostondesignguide.com

A new homeowner, who spent many lazy summer days at his
parents’ lake home as a child, is a believer. While his career carried
this young man and his family west, come July he feels the pull of
the East Coast and an instinct to gather lakeside with friends and
family. This inclination, along with happy memories, compelled him
to build a restful retreat and roots of his own.
He reassembled the team that built his father’s lake house—
Battle Associates Architects, Wood & Clay and Mollie Johnson
Interiors—along with Millwork Masters and Ponders Hollow, to
craft a getaway on a private slip of land with two-mile views of
the glacier-carved lake. Owner/Principal John Battle told his new
client from the start that he wouldn’t design him a home just like
Dad’s. (The premier architect makes a point of “not doing anything
twice.”) No matter, mimicry was never the goal; the only vestiges
would be the spirit of the home and the client’s fondness for it.
Mission accomplished, confirms Kevin Beland, owner and
president of Wood & Clay, a family-run general contracting firm
known for its unique, high-end custom homes on Winnipesaukee
and Squam Lake. The retreat has a relaxed feel and features varied
“wood tones, nice, clean simple lines and a lot of glass, drinking in
the beautiful views.”
The organic construct is one with its environment and comprised
of cedar and skirl siding, Douglas fir and a deeper-than-forest green
painted trim that’s both standard yet special in this locale. Peter
Brnger, general manager of Millwork Masters, the company that
supplied the Marvin Windows and Doors, and the interior and
exterior door systems, hails how Battle Associates Architects works
the design into the landscape. Battle is a master, says Brnger; this
home “looks like it grew right out of the earth.”
It was determined early that the public spaces would have
the best views of the lake’s sun-dappled waters and that the
screened-in porch—where most days begin and end—would be
positioned “right on the sweet spot of the property,” says Battle. The
homeowners knew that the porch, with its rustic outdoor stone

was made for special occasions and reuniting.

176 bostondesignguide.com

fireplace, “would be one of the most important gathering spots,”
explains Battle. It’s the hinge that drives the home’s layout, and is,
essentially, a second living room outdoors.
The great room—a high-volume space that’s open to the dining
and kitchen areas—also takes a lead role. It’s Beland’s favorite
room in the house; he applauds the use of stone in that space, the
curved truss built on-site by Wood & Clay and the glorious feature
window. Straddled by a rustic dinner table that accommodates a
crowd when extended on one end and the porch on the other, it
creates a beautiful space to congregate and enjoy.
For the interior design, earth tones were selected for a natural
look, as “the home was sited so beautifully on the water,” reveals
Johnson. The limpid blue-greens of the lake and sand tones are
reflected inside, coloring welcoming “mix-and-match” furniture.
Johnson “worked from the ground up” to achieve the overall eclectic
vision, finding fabulously unique, casual rugs to protect Ponders
Hollow’s wide-plank sugar maple hardwood floors throughout the
home. “This is their getaway house. They didn’t want it formal, but
they wanted it to be nicely done,” says Johnson.
“Wood & Clay is not shy about experimenting with a lot of
woods and getting a unique look,” says Ray Boelig, Director of
Sales at Ponders Hollow. “They think outside the playbook.” This
philosophy is shared by the entire team, all of whom enjoyed
working on a property that’s styled so differently from a primary
residence. After all, says Beland, “You’re on the lake. It should feel
like a vacation.”
The kitchen uses integrated cabinetry on its premium appliances
from Baron’s Major Brands, as well as fine-finished fixtures from
Kohler’s Artifact series from Splash. Johnson had the lights above
the island crafted from birch bark. Above: The stairs are board
and batten fir, custom made on-site.

CENTER MAINE
Anthony Catalfano’s Post House Commons brings a resort-style
retail destination to the seaside town of Wells, Maine.
ITS MOTTO IS “THE FRIENDLIEST TOWN IN
MAINE,” and thanks to Anthony Catalfano, Wells is
becoming even friendlier. The interior designer has
developed the Post House Commons—a tasteful,
vital marketplace, where residents and visitors
can gather to shop, laugh, enjoy and, when it’s fully
realized, dine.
At the core of coastal Maine, Wells’ location lends
itself to a centralized retail destination; it’s the “segue into
the Kennebunk,” says Catalfano. In fact, the Post House
Commons is positioned squarely on the road most traveled
into Kennebunk and Kennebunkport. “People from all over
come here, so it’s really a gathering point.”
The Southern Maine area is flourishing, and Wells is no
exception. Catalfano is thrilled he invested there two years
ago, when he built a Shingle Style marketplace steeped in a
sophisticated yet country aesthetic. Wells is artsier than its
posh neighbor Kennebunkport, and boasts plenty of room
to grow, not to mention parking. The high-end businesses
that have set up shop in Post House Commons are already
viable and thriving, and “it’s only going to get better,”
he says.
While he may have created a town common, its
businesses are anything but. As the anchor, Anthony
Catalfano Home has its own building, where it houses
a coveted collection of home furnishings and accents.
J Rose, Three Dories, Eyephoria Optical and Wright
Touch Skin Care are all under one roof. J Rose showcases
owner Julianne Rose’s impeccably edited, chic collection
of statement-making rope necklaces, beaded lariats and
other accessories by New York and European designers,
Laird Duncan offers full prescriptions and fills the custom
cases of Eyephoria Optical with height-of-fashion French
sunglasses and whisper-weight eyeglass frames. Wright
Touch Skin Care pampers its clients with customized skin
treatments, facials and more in a serene setting, and Three
Dories peddles breezy but elegant resort wear tailored to a
casual lifestyle (think color-splashed sundresses for women,
and polos and seersucker button-downs for men).
All of the shops complement one another and share
a warm, convivial air that breeds a happy shopping
experience, as well as the feeling of community Catalfano
was after. Now, if a great bistro and European-style bakery
would move in, his vision would be complete.

Designer Sacha Lakic harnesses
speed, movement and beauty
for his Roche Bobois designs
Text by Sandy Giardi
Photography ©Michel Gibert
Roche Bobois’ 2016 release: Lakic’s
Bubble Sofa, in the new textile Techno
4-D in a fresh shade of mauve
“Since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated
by cars, by speed, by technology and
aerodynamics,” explains Sacha Lakic.
It was this passion that landed him in the world
of automotive design, where his bold show bikes
and futuristic designs have met wide acclaim.
Yet he isn’t bound to this field alone. His zeal
for speed and the poetry of motion informs his
designs for other realms too: fields like furniture
design, fashion and even architecture.
Twenty years ago, François Roche, co-founder
and CEO for the contemporary furniture company
Roche Bobois, was intrigued by Lakic’s car
designs, and suggested he give furniture design
a go. “I did,” said Lakic, “and my first design, the
Onda bed, produced in 1996, was awarded the
“Compasso d’Oro” Casaidea Prize in Rome.” This
success fueled an enduring partnership between
the premier furniture company and Lakic’s
studio that has lasted for 20 years and shows
no signs of stopping. Roche Bobois “trusts me
completely, and this is very important for me….
There is a strong and positive energy running
between us.”
Lakic’s pieces are imbued with motion and
emotion. “I feel that a product that is in motion
is alive. The idea of movement is always present
in my work.” Lakic finds fluidity and freedom in
his forms. He “loves to sculpt shapes.”
242 bostondesignguide.com

He fuses aesthetics, comfort and function in furniture that
is at once cutting-edge yet undeniably classic. Pieces very
much in sync, he says, with the “‘unique savoir faire” of Roche
Bobois. “I like to design products that touch the soul and the
mind of people. The objects I design are to be cherished
long-term, because I endeavor to create products that stand
the test of time.”

brand BlackTrack Motors; top right: Lakic’s electric “car of the
future,” the Venturi America. Below: the interior of Sacha

in my work. I provide objects with a soul.”

Q: How do you approach incorporating a high quality television viewing experience outdoors while maintaining an aesthetically
pleasing, natural landscape?
A: Our main goals with outdoor televisions are to provide clients with options and ensure that the picture quality is uncompromised.
For example, Creative Systems recently commissioned a custom, one-of-a-kind, 130” LED TV designed to rise from the fl oor of
a pool house or stay securely unseen underneath. This unique television, which is the fi rst of its kind in the United States, utilizes
the same technology found at sporting venues; therefore, it eliminates glare and displays crisp, clear, and bright images anytime
during the day or night. Creative Systems believes clients can have both superior function and design.

PROfi l e
Creative Systems provides the latest in integrated
systems and expert installation. Technology no

Young Ideas Painting and Design takes pride in creating,
working with and giving back to the community.
Y
This special 20th issue, Jeff Young and crew want to celebrate the completion of a barn for
the non-profi t, Gaining Ground in Concord, MA. With the community’s backing, Young Ideas
designed, drew and managed the entire project, as well as painted, tiled and laid the fl ooring.
A longtime board member at the local non-profi t, Jeff led the barn committee, overseeing every
detail to insure the barn’s successful completion. No longer a “farm without a barn,” Gaining
Ground fi nally has a home base for operations. Its 2500 annual volunteers and 60,000 lbs
of organic produce are sorted and distributed to over a dozen food banks and shelters in
the Boston area. Young Ideas takes pride in creating, working with and giving back to the
community. We thank our clients for their donations to the barn and for our 20 years with the
Boston Design Guide. We look forward to serving your design and painting needs, as well as
our community, for many years to come.
