Preserving 

THE 

Charm 

What was once old is new again in a historic Boston 

neighborhood. With the vintage charm we love and 

the updated modern appliances we need, this home 

is a decor-lover’s dream, one conjured up by F.H. 

Perry Builder and ART Architects to delight a family

making a move from the suburbs back into the heart of 

things in the city. With the right team in place, this gem of 

a five-story home in Beacon Hill was not only preserved, 

but reformed for the next century. 

“For us, it feels like when we’re in these historic 

neighborhoods that we are essentially stewards of these 

buildings and these fine homes that have been here for 

over 10 generations,” said Wade Bergeron, director of 

production at F.H. Perry Builder. “There is a certain amount 

of humility that comes with that.” 

This house, sitting in a row of homes that all look identical 

to each other from the outside, was well preserved. It 

had all of its original character but was a bit outdated. 

Even though the basic proportions of things were already 

beautiful, it needed a lot of attention. The idea was not to 

put a whole new stamp on it, but to keep the flavor. 

The spaces in the main level include an entry hall, main 

formal room, library (which doubles as a dining room), 

living room in the back with an iron balcony and spiral 

staircase leading to the garden patio, as well as a bar that 

doubles as a butler’s pantry. 

“You open the door and you find this new place, where 

you can’t pick out what’s old and what’s new, but it is all 

behind a very demure facade,” said Jacob Albert, partner 

at Albert Righter Tittmann (ART) Architects. 

Each of the spaces has high ceilings and elegantly 

proportioned windows, with robust moldings dating back 

to the early to mid-19th century. The bar, bearing no 

windows, stands out with its high gloss dark paint. 

On the lowest level of the original home, between the 

kitchen and the sitting room, was a big, boxed-in stairwell 

that was more of an obstacle. Once moved under the main 

stairway, where it looks like it should have been all along, 

the floor’s layout is now one big space with a new kitchen, 

eating and sitting areas, and garden access. 

“We tried to honor the spirit of the house as it was,” 

Albert said. “We wanted to make it better, fresher, and

The lowest level of the home has a kitchen, eating area, sitting 

area, and a small laundry room tucked behind the kitchen, all 

with clear access to the garden. The goal was for the home to 

have a sort of outdoor experience, even when embracing it from 

the depths of the kitchen. The home’s back spiral staircase leads 

to the garden patio, which is wrapped in warmth and charm 

from its juxtaposing vintage-like water fountains to its modern 

fire feature and seating arrangement. The perfect entertaining 

area for this historic, reformed home.

more up to date. That staircase needed to be gone and 

not blocking the whole center of what turned out to be a 

wonderful space” 

But, it wasn’t as easy a task as it sounds, according to 

Allison Iantosca, owner and president of F.H. Perry Builder. 

“The structural support in the back, all of it was gone when 

the rear window wall was removed,’’ she said. “We needed 

to rebuild and put new fenestration into place as if it had 

always been there.” 

Iantosca reveals how addictive the process and end result 

of these highly collaborative projects can be, working with 

other very talented professionals such as the long standing 

firm - ART. 

“In those moments of decision, these things come out as 

beautiful as they do because of the process behind it…” 

she continued. “When you feel such a sense of alignment, 

you want to deliver to the beauty and mastery behind it.” 


New England is known 

the world over for its 

architecture. Classic 

Colonials, coastal Shingle 

Styles and rural farmhouses 

mingle with elegant 

brownstones, sky-high 

condos and cutting-edge 

contemporaries. Together, 

the region’s homes create 

a celebration of beauty, 

function and form.

Tranquility 

DefinedA coastal 

North Shore 

home designed with 

nature in mind. 

44 


Atranquil home, embraced by the ocean, sits right on the 

edge of the North Shore. The best part of building it? 

Working with the homeowner, said Thad Siemasko, 

Founding Principal of SV Design. “The client was 

open to looking at the home in a less traditional way 

which was refreshing and added an element of fun to the 

process,” he added. 

Finished in February 2018, Siemasko said this project took 

about a year and a half to complete. When he first saw 

the location, it was an artist’s home with an attached work 

studio, hugged by a meadow overlooking the sea. 

Something about the existing architecture’s lower structure 

looked like part of the ground, “in a good way,” he said. 

“We wanted to maintain that idea, low and tranquil like it 

was before.” 

The transition from outside to inside needed to feel 

natural, which is why the exterior of the home, facing the 

sun, is covered in massive windows. That concept led to 

what Siemasko calls a “design by accident.” 

Local zoning laws required a connection of the spaces 

and SV Design crafted a solution. They were to create 

a multipurpose, underground tunnel that connected 

the main house to the guest quarters located in the 

outbuilding; a former working art studio. “It turned out to 

be quite valuable to how the home operates,” he added. 

As you enter the home, seamless transitions are ever 

apparent from one living space to the other. The home

appears bold in its form, but is softened by neutral and 

natural materials, which blend harmoniously from every 

angle into its surroundings. 

The home’s visual calmness is strengthened by the natural, 

masculine materials used throughout. A perfect example 

of that is the design of the kitchen, made possible by 

Venegas and Company. 

Donna Venegas, owner and creative director of the kitchen 

design company, is often teased that her kitchens don’t 

always look like kitchens. “The design for this one was no 

exception,” she said. 

“We developed many of these finishes specifically for this 

project,” she continued. “The finishes were to be textural 

and subdued to convey an organic modern sensibility. 

So instead of the heavy-handed wood species like oak or 

walnut, which have very strong and recognizable grains, 

we explored alternatives and had a lot of fun with it.” 

The kitchen is predominantly a flat cut clear poplar with a 

driftwood stain. The anchoring elements of the space plus 

the stove hood are a faux metallic in antique nickel silver. 

What was achieved is a strong yet tranquil look, highly 

desired by SV Design and the homeowner. . 

The pantry was a cherry finish, said Venegas. While it has 

beautifully soft and subtle grain, it was not the look they 

were going for, so they bleached it and stained it in a cool 

gray tone.“The result was perfect,” she said. 

The minimization of upper cabinets, the designed towers and 

below-counter storage were a vision made up by Venegas 

and Company after hearing all about the homeowner’s art 

collection and dream for natural, sundrenched lighting. 

The interconnectedness of this home and how it functions 

and feels in its topography is the brilliant marriage of 

expert design and construction, brought to life by the 

creative and collaborative efforts of all those involved.

Deeply committed to 

craft, custom builders and 

professionals in the design/ 

build field put a plan, and 

often a dream, in action. 

Through hands-on work, they 

navigate the construction 

process, the players and 

the pieces until the many 

moving parts become or 

transform ‘home.’

“Working on this project during the peak of the COVID pandemic posed its own 

challenges, but there was also a challenge with the structural work involving substantial 

reinforcement due to removal of the chimney located at the center of the kitchen.” 

—Larissa Cook, incoming president of FBN Construction Co. 

66 


The renovation of this Milton home was 

designed to maintain its original charm while 

adding function for a busy family of five. 

TIMELESS 

TRANSITION 

In 2020, a young family was looking to renovate key spaces 

of their traditional home including the kitchen and primary 

suite. They wanted to keep its historic charm while adding 

modern functionality to enhance and streamline everyday 

living. The renovation respected the vocabulary of the 

historic home, a quality they loved, while also ensuring it 

felt approachable and livable for their growing family. 

“Our approach to the design ensured each space was 

customized to meet the family’s needs in a way that didn’t 

feel like a departure from home’s updated traditional 

aesthetic,” said Roisin Giese, cofounder of Twelve Chairs 

Interiors. “Though they’re new, these spaces feel like 

they could be original to the home thanks to features like 

millwork and architectural details made to match what 

already existed from 1895.” 

The former kitchen had a large chimney right in the middle 

of it. With the help of FBN Construction, the chimney was 

removed and an 850-pound steel beam was installed. It 

was hidden in the ceiling, making it possible to create the 

client’s desired open space. 

Removal of the coffered ceiling and radiators, as well as 

the installation of radiant-heat flooring, allowed for higher 

ceilings and further flexibility for the floor plan. Larger 

windows allowed for sunlight to stream into the space. 

There was one rare item from the original home that 

helped the designers and clients visualize the historic 

charm they were dreaming of, and that was the original 

floor plans from 1895. They were passed down from 

homeowner to homeowner over the last century. 

Photography: Joyelle West 


Renovated to function well for a busy family of five, this updated home 

has a classic design that is not only beautiful, but inviting and timeless. 

The overall goal for the renovation was to preserve as much as possible 

from its original details. The archway heading into the primary suite was 

replicated from one in another doorway, adding a sense of traditional 

consistency, and all 

of the doors installed throughout the home were reused. They were 

taken off their original hinges and helped transform new locations in 

the house. 

The mudroom, which is equipped with charging stations in each cubby, 

and the kitchen pantry are both dressed in Benjamin Moore’s “night 

68 


train” blue. Similar wood finishes can be found throughout the home, 

making a statement for things like the built-in shelves and countertops. 

Specific visual cues of color lead the home. 

“We’ve been doing this for 12 years,” Roisin said. “We’ve created a methodical 

approach. Once a client signs on, we need to get started on what 

their scope is and priorities are. We look at imagery together and ask 

detailed questions about how they want to live when the project is done.” 

The client’s priorities for recreating their home included respecting the 

vocabulary of its history, while also ensuring it felt approachable and 

livable for their growing family. These designers, builders, and artists 

went above and beyond to ensure just that.

A ConcordClassic 

The modernization of a 

traditional style home that looks as though it has 

always been part of the fabric of this historic town. 

Embracing the neighborhood’s classic 19th-century New 

England roots, this newly constructed gambrel is right at 

home in historic Concord. 

“The goal was to build a house that looks like it has 

always been here,” says Bob Paladino, lead architect and 

founder of Mellowes & Paladino Architects. Its white cedar 

clapboards and traditional exterior details nod respectfully 

to the past, yet the home is fortified with innovative 

features that resonate with its modern homeowners. 

“The clients were extremely involved,” remarks Paladino. 

“They were there every day walking the site with us 

and brainstorming various concepts to maximize the 

incredible views.” 

The house sits on four acres of pastoral landscape. 

A winding road bordered by a split-rail fence and a 

placid pond can be seen to the East; to the South is a 

neighboring farm, complete with a picturesque white 

barn and grazing horses. 

92 


“You pull up to the house and you are just in awe of the 

setting,” says Eric Lien, owner and president of Lien 

Enterprises. Lien began working with the design team 

early on, advising on-site construction and logistics and 

giving rise to a valuable collaboration between builder and 

architect. Celebrating the views from the interior of the 

home was of primary importance to the owners, who had 

relocated from the suburbs to take daily advantage of the 

bucolic setting. 


Behind the scenes 

interviews on this project. 


“The interior design, like the home’s exterior, was intended 

to be classic and timeless, often a primary design objective 

at Mellowes & Paladino,” says Emily Coutu, Managing 

Principal at Mellowes & Paladino Architects. 

The goal of the architect and the owners was to achieve a 

versatile open floor plan, maximizing the views and light. 

Barbara Kotzen of Kotzen Interiors harnessed the light, airy 

atmosphere, washing the space in a clean, beachy color 

palette. The kitchen, equipped with two islands, is light 

and bright with touches of watery blue. 

“The traditional dark floors, detailed millwork with light 

colors and pops of color from the artwork, it’s all really 

quite striking,” says Eric Lien. 

An intimate breakfast nook tucked into a large bay of 

windows was a special request from the homeowners, 

inspired by one that was in their former home. It’s one of 

two that flank the front door of the house, reinforcing the 

symmetry of the structure—and perfect for taking in the 

scenery over morning coffee. 

94 


This kitchen features two custom islands, one for storage / prep 

and one for entertaining, and the breakfast nook overlooking the 

garden is the homeowner’s favorite morning view. 


We had it all; a pastoral site with panoramic views, an 

enthusiastic and engaged client, and an outstanding team. 

Success was inevitable, and we all love the result. 

—Bob Paladino 

96 


One of the items that the interior needed to be 

designed around, other than views from every angle, 

was a baby grand piano. The floor-to-ceiling windows 

and the hues of blue fill the rooms with a whimsical light. 


98 


“The ledge the existing house was on really changed the dynamics 

of the job. We couldn't set the house too high or too low because it 

would compromise the harmony of its surroundings." 

—Eric Lien 

The circular driveway created more opportunities to enhance the 

landscape, which provides a lush welcome, and the X-style railing 

above the front door are a signature Paladino design. 

Augmenting the home’s traditional interior details are 

modern features like a built-in pocketing dog gates and a 

golf simulator that fits seamlessly under the rafters above 

the garage, thanks to the gambrel roof. The homeowners, 

dog lovers and avid golfers, put their trust into the design 

and construction teams to tailor their home with features 

that fit their lifestyle. 

Kim Turner, Principal at KD Turner Design Landscape 

Architecture, designed the surrounding landscape and 

collaborated with the team to ensure that the house was 

perched just high enough to capture each view. 

“Bob [Paladino] is very easy to work with,” says Turner. 

We offered different perspectives and really married the 

landscape and the architecture together.”

A custom Dutch Door at the rear of the home opens 

to a covered terrace with recessed heating elements in 

the ceiling for chilly fall nights. A path constructed from 

natural granite stones found onsite winds through 

ornamental trees, shrubs, meadow grass, and a 

perennial garden to a kidney-shaped pool, nestled 

amongst surrounding woodlands. 

“We mixed old with new here and that was the theme of 

the whole project,” Turner says. 

The natural fieldstone walking path is the perfect mix of old 

and new. Stones from the original home were blended in, 

creating a traditional New England vision. It is a peaceful 

oasis leading directly to the pool and backyard views. 

There is also play between formal and informal, as the 

landscape transforms from the front of the house to the rear. 

The dream was to design and build a house that drew 

inspiration from the pastoral site on which it sits, as well 

as the broader New England architectural context that 

surrounds it. The result is an instant classic. 


As tastemakers, interior 

designers translate our 

moods, affinities and 

lifestyles into meaningful, 

multilayered settings. From 

materials, fixtures and finishes 

to wall coverings, furnishings 

and accessories, designers 

consider the full effect as 

they curate each element.

“Creating pride of place 

for our clients means crafting 

a home truly personal 

to them - not us. And a 

personal home requires 

authentic, sustained engagement 

with our clients 

throughout the creation. 

The House of Taste gives 

us the platform to create 

a personalized home for 

our clients, together.” 

— Patti Watson, Owner 

Taste Design, Inc. 


ALL ABOUT 

TASTE 

From the moment you enter Taste Design’s client center—House of Taste, you are 

immersed in the most exquisite collections, inspiration and ideas dedicated to the home. 

Since inception in 2004, Taste Design, Inc. has been 

a steady leader in residential interiors throughout 

the northeast. Their office and new client center in 

Middletown, Rhode Island is positioned to expertly guide 

clients through the exciting and, at times, intimidating 

home planning and design journey. 

Outgrowing their original studio in Jamestown during 

the pandemic and envisioning an environment where her 

team could create and deliver their very best work, Patti 

Watson, Founder and Principal of Taste Design, purchased 

and transformed their expansive new Aquidneck Avenue 

location into a design haven that feels like a wellappointed 

home. 

Under one roof, with commanding views of Newport’s 

Easton’s Pond and 1 st Beach, light-filled office workspaces 

for Taste’s caring and collaborative creative team co-exist 

seamlessly with a dedicated client center - aptly named 

House of Taste. 

Taste clients receive exclusive access to House of Taste’s 

collection of fine furnishings, finishes, fixtures, building materials, 

technology and original art presented in a way that 

brings function and design inspiration together cohesively. 

From a custom designed conference table ample enough 

to double as a work island for presentations of materials 

to hand crafted cabinetry, window treatments, lighting and 

ever-changing collections of artisan pieces, highly edited 

vignettes unfold throughout House of Taste to help clients 

make informed decisions. 

“The House of Taste features the work of key partners 

who share a similar caliber of craftsmanship, and 

demonstrate our on-going commitment to supporting 

locals in the design/build/home field,” says Watson. As an 

example, House of Taste now showcases a new Artist in 

Residence program, providing local artists the opportunity 

to work closely with the Taste team, further highlighting, 

“the value of infusing original art into the design and 

creation of a home.” 

The end result - a deeply personal, high value home that 

is uniquely crafted for each individual and their pride of 

place for generations.

Our goal is to create spaces that support our client’s vision and lifestyle. 

What makes us unique is the combined thinking between 

a dedicated team of landscape architects, interior designers 

and construction professionals which ensures collaboration 

and discussion on design solutions from all angles. 

Our projects often begin with the collaboration of our 

Landscape Architecture and Interior Design teams. We 

believe a successful design process will explore all 

opportunities between the interior and exterior spaces 

such as enhancing views, transitioning between spaces 

and the continuity of materials. 

As a Design + Build firm, we guarantee the continuity of 

the team continues throughout the construction phase 

of the project. We believe in this process because it 

streamlines communication, accountability, craftsmanship 

and the efficiency of schedule and budgets. Our clients are 

never left wondering what the next step is, we walk beside 

them throughout the entire process. 

We know we have succeeded when there is a visual and 

physical connectedness to the outdoors that instills a 

feeling of wellness and calm for our clients.

Maintaining an Influence 

Erin Tubridy Gates has five jobs. 

She’s an interior designer, a 

longstanding media influencer, an 

author, a creator of collections, and 

a mother. It all started in 2007, when 

she needed a place to catalog all 

her design passions and took to 

blogging. 

Her NY Times bestseller, “Elements 

of Style: Designing A Home & A 

Life,” was published in 2014 and her 

second book, “Elements of Family 

Style: Elegant Spaces for Everyday 

Life,” hit the shelves in 2019. The 

author’s third book is currently in the 

works. 

Over a decade later, the mother 

of two toddlers is the founder and 

principal designer of Erin Gates 

Design and the creator of the award 

winning design blog Elements of 

Style. She has two books, one a 

New York Times bestseller, and she 

designs licensed home accessory 

and rug collections, as well as 

custom luxury jewelry. 

“Each one feeds a very specific part 

of my creative side that I feel I need 

to explore and express,” Gates said. 

“I love the process of designing a 

home, getting to know my clients 

and working with my team to create 

something really special and I also 

love the online community I’ve built that is truly rich with 

incredible inspiration, support and camaraderie. I express 

a lot of my deeper feelings through writing and my books, 

blog, and social media allow me to go to that next level 

beyond just the aesthetics of the world.” 

Growing up with her father as an architectural designer, 

Erin learned to love every aspect of the home building 

and decorating process from a very young age. The 

Connecticut native honed her skill set and worked her way 

to where she is now by working in fine art curation, event 

planning and for other design firms. 

@elementstyle 

How does Erin keep propelling 

forward? Not only is it a thrill for her 

to create beautiful products that fill 

holes in the marketplace, but she is 

honored to have created a business 

that employs people, creates 

beauty, shares honestly, and inspires 

others. Also, she’s secretly fueled by 

a deep seeded fear of failure. 

“When you wear this many hats (in 

addition to being a mother of two 

little kids, a wife, a daughter, and a 

friend) it can feel like it's impossible 

to do it all,” Gates said. “And the 

secret is, it is impossible. I try to tell 

myself that I can only do so much in 

a day and that I have to give myself 

time to breathe and reboot or else I'm not as good of a 

boss, a creative, or a mother.” 

Each day, Erin makes sure to workout, eat well, and spend 

some time escaping into a book. Most importantly, she 

takes time to reflect on and enjoy all of her successes. 

What’s next for her? Well, the longstanding influencer, 

in a world full of them, still has more 

boxes to check. She 

has two more licensed 

collections launching 

in 2023 and goals for a 

fabric line, fashion line, 

opening a real estate/ 

development arm of the 

business and eventually 

opening a retail 

storefront in Wellesley. 

And of course, finishing 

her third book. 

“It's really daunting and 

exhausting to think of all 

the opportunities still yet 

to capitalize on, but mostly 

it’s exciting,” Gates said.

MATTER 

THE 

A New England shingle home in Wellesley 

offers all of the features of a private resort. 


Abundant in architectural 

detail, the bright, open 

kitchen offers an expansive 

garden view and enough 

seating for family and 

friends. Comfy lounge 

areas were a must for this 

family and, although the 

overall vibe of the home 

is sophisticated, it’s also 

welcoming. Soft textiles 

and a fireplace make an 

elegant room cozy. 

168 


In the heart of Wellesley, this classic New England shingle 

home feels like a private resort. From the start, the goal 

was to create a comfortable hub where large groups 

could gather, and also offer spaces for individual respite. 

This home has everything--from a basketball court, rockclimbing 

wall, movie theater, home gym and golf simulator 

to a back-yard spa. Situated on a lush plot, the home is 

commanding, half Western Red Cedar shingle, half New 

England Fieldstone, with three massive stone chimneys, 

copper trimmings and terraced gardens. 

The elegant architecture and landscape were designed 

synergistically, creating an oasis for the homeowners, 

their three children and extended family and friends. The 

owners had a clear vision and passion for design, and 

assembled a dream team to make it happen. This included 

Shope Reno Wharton, KVC Builders, Jennifer Palumbo 

Interior Design, and Gregory Lombardi Design. “On a 

successful project, everyone carries each other across 

the finish line,” says Michael McClung, lead designer and 

Principal of the nationally acclaimed architecture firm 

Shope Reno Wharton. Jim Koulopoulos, owner of KVC, 



also notes the great collaborative energy of the team, and 

the seamless integration of everyone’s ideas. 

The project was rich in detail, with extensive millwork, 

custom built-ins, elaborate ceilings and European-style 

Tilt-and-Turn windows by Tischler und Sohn. There is a 

gentle flow and cohesion between rooms, yet each space 

has its own distinct character. 

Interior designer, Jennifer Palumbo, and team injected 

color in mindful doses, amidst a serene palette of earthy 

neutrals. The energy of the space is clean and fresh with 

subtle shimmers of gold and silver, and the occasional 

vibrant punch of color and pattern. “Our goal for the 

interior was to acknowledge the stately architecture 

with elegance, while keeping the spaces approachable 

for family living,” says Palumbo. Organic textures like 

reclaimed wood and stone lend warmth, while specialty 

materials (a leather wall, for instance) give the home 

sophisticated personality. Palumbo continues, “It’s a treat 

when we can collaborate with such a strong professional 

team and engaged clients.” 

A top priority for the residents was for the kids to have 

study and reading spaces, plus comfortable areas to hang 

out with friends. Each of their bedrooms has a study nook, 

and the entire lower floor is a massive recreation space, 

inviting hours of play. The home gym walks out to a yearround 

outdoor spa, with a jacuzzi pool and fire bowl. One 

of the most impressive parts of the house though, is the 



Architect Michael McClung of Shope Reno Wharton collaborated with Landscape Architect Troy Sober of Gregory Lombardi 

Design for the terracing need to integrate an indoor basketball court/gym/rock-climbing wall into the existing landscape. The 

entire lower level of the home is devoted to entertainment, including a movie theater and golf simulator. The outdoor patio has a 

magnificent, soaring fir ceiling with wood-panel detail and a New England Fieldstone fireplace. 

covered patio area, with its dramatic fireplace and a 

heavy duty porch swing suspended from a spectacular 

fir ceiling. 

Landscape architect Troy Sober, Principal at Gregory 

Lombardi Design, considered every view from inside 

the house when creating garden vignettes outside. 

The stair tower overlooks the spa garden, a breakfast 

nook looks out over a sea of roses, and the sizable 

window in the dining area offers a view of vibrant 

cutting gardens and a gorgeous Japanese maple. 

“This property is a complex piece of land,” Sober says, 

“and the house was designed to settle into that topography. 

It was kept hidden behind the existing mature 

woodland edge, preserving the original driveway entrance 

and the natural character of the neighborhood.” 

Two custom lanterns flank the driveway, lending old 

New England charm. Terraces take advantage of the 

gradation of the property, the lower level serving as 

a playfield for the kids. So far, mission accomplished: 

there’s always something fun to do or a peaceful spot 

to unwind, and guests want to stay indefinitely. 


A door from the gym leads 

down the path to an outdoor 

spa. A jacuzzi wading pool is 

surrounded by gardens and 

feels like its own private island. 

Terraced lawns work with the 

natural topography of the plot. 

The plant palette indicative of 

finer MetroWest neighborhoods 

highlights the outskirts of 

this property then reveals 

more unique and ornamental 

landscape as you move inward 

toward the house.

LET THERE 

BE LIGHT 

System 7’s 

experience 

center takes the 

complexity out 

of technology 

decisions. 

If you ask Gerard Lynch what he considers the most 

transformational event in smart home technology over 

the last few years, he won’t hesitate to answer. It’s the 

evolution of lighting into a technology product. 

“Today, lighting technology is the heart of the smart 

home,” Lynch explains. “Lighting can now replicate natural 

light and the sun itself. It can bring the feel of the outdoors 

inside. It can impact your mood and be tuned to feel just 

right and just a little bit different each and every day.” 

Navigating the nuances of lighting technology – lumen 

output, color temperature, dimming performance, and 

controls – is a daily occurrence at System 7, the technology 

design firm that Lynch founded in 2003. System 7’s 

designers incorporate lighting fixtures, motorized shading, 

and smart home controls into streamlined technology 

systems for their clients. 

An understanding of architecture and space is essential 

to successfully incorporating these technologies into 

a residence, and System 7’s approach is more like an 

architect than a traditional integrator. Their team includes 

designers with backgrounds in architecture, lighting 

design, interior design, and electrical engineering, as well 

as product specialists from their Wolfers Lighting, Boston 

Shade Company, and Back Bay Shutter divisions. What ties 

this team together is a fascination with lighting, shading, 

and home technology, and the impact they have on a 

living environment. 

To illustrate how these technologies can transform a space, 

System 7 has two Experience Centers in the Boston area: 

one in the Boston Design Center, and one in Wellesley 

center. In both locations, homeowners and design 

professionals can experience the full capabilities of today’s 

lighting and shading systems. 

Ashley Jacobson, System 7’s VP of Design & Operations, 

says the key to understanding the technology is to 

experience it in person. “You’re immersed in what it’s like 

to use the technology rather than seeing it on a website or 

with a sample on a jobsite,” Jacobson says. “You can see 

the process of what happens when you press a button and 

the lights dim or the shades lower.” 

From tunable spectrum lighting to motorized shading 

with bespoke fabrics, the focus at each Experience Center 

is on the marvels of today’s lighting, shading, and home 

technology systems. They’re places to spark inspiration 

and help clients imagine what these systems might be like 

in their own homes. “Everyone deserves good technology 

design,” Jacobson concludes. “We’re proud that we can 

help our clients choose technology they will love.”

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.

Boston Billiard Emporium’s Stephen Kelly 

combines his passion for antiques with painstaking 

craftsmanship to restore billiard tables to their former glory. 

Captured 

in time 

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. 

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 find a great selection of 

accessories, as well as a full-service 

repairs department for anything that 

may go wrong with your table.

Luscious 

A home with a landscape that not only enhances its 

beauty, but also protects it from the coast and the 

New England weather that follows. 


A private enclave, protected by lush layers of plants 

and vegetation, sits right on Nonquitt Beach in South 

Dartmouth. The protective oasis, with its vanishing edge 

pool and equipped pool house, is the perfect summer 

getaway, but it’s a never ending job. 

“The landscape is exposed to wind, saltwater, and storms 

that come up and down the coast,” said Troy Sober, principal 

of Gregory Lombardi Design. “We had restrictions for 

flood zones and wave action. We had to be very thoughtful 

in preparing a sustainable landscape that would weather 

storms, work with the rising sea water elevation over time, 

and meet the coastal requirements that a family this close 

to the water.” 

New England’s unpredictable weather created a lot of 

challenges during the planting of this project. Nate Booth, 

branch manager at R.P. Marzilli & Company noted the 

conditions became hostile quickly and burlap had to be 

used to protect plants that don’t normally need protecting. 

When the landscape was first being built during the colder 

months, it was completely covered with heated tents as a 

means of protection. 

“With gardening work, everything is an evolving 

process always, you never really finish it,” said Booth. 

“Understanding why one plant is doing well and another 

isn’t tests your knowledge, and that is always ongoing.” 

The rear terrace, with its built-in gas fire-pit, is the perfect 

place to sit and have a cocktail or just admire the luscious 

view. The landscape also includes its own vegetable 

garden, an element that makes the home even more 

extraordinary.

“Priorities for the clients were maintaining a strong visual 

connection to the ocean,” Sober said. “There is a small 

private beach, open field for the kids to play soccer, and 

the homeowner likes to swim laps, so a long pool.” 

Despite this coastal home’s many unique and difficult 

challenges, the reward of expert planning, coordination 

and collaboration from a team of seasoned trades, 

including Parker Construction, was its completion in just 

nine months. Similar projects of this magnitude usually 

take eighteen.

living on the coast from all angles. 

“I can’t even say the man hours, effort, and planning 

that went into making this look like it naturally belongs 

here,” said Joseph Langlois, senior product manager 

at R.P. Marzilli & Company. “A lot of trades, and a lot of 

skilled craftsmen. This isn’t just masons who put together 

concrete or patios, these guys are all skilled individuals. 

Our landscapes are designed to last 100 years, until the 

next renovation. And it’s very rewarding.” 

This experienced team designed a way to walk around all 

sides of the home, while protected from public view and

3. A bespoke gate of Western Red Cedar and iron provides a 

necessary barrier to the pool, yet is transparent when closed to 

allow focus on the rich stone wall texture instead of on the 

enclosure itself. 

4. Living along the coast is all about the view. Lawn steps casually 

bring beach-goers up to the family home; while a juniper hedge 

provides resilient and rustic texture and obscures the stone wall. 

5. A hand selected stone by the Lombardi Team was turned 

into a gas fire-pit. This centerpiece pairs eloquently with the 

contemporary style of the house with a more natural form to 

gather around for cooler evenings.

6. Protected from the shoreline winds, lush layers of soft 

ornamental Fountain Grass compliment the more coarse texture 

of the salt tolerant junipers and drought resilient Russian Sage; a 

path hidden behind the cabana opens to a large view of the water. 

7. A commanding view through the perennial “White Garden” and 

blooming Shasta daisies, a raised spa wrapped in Freshwater Pearl 

granite sits above the lower lawn and shoreline. This elevated 

space is kept safely out of the water’s flood and velocity zones. 

8. Fabricated from Freshwater Pearl granite, an address marker 

was hand carved on the site and lightly ink-stained for clear 

visuality. The subtle addition to the project is the first sight you 

see and provides an idea of what is to come. 

9. The long lap pool was plastered in a dark finish to reflect the 

open ocean sky and vanishes over a stone edge towards the 

water. A raised spa in the distance juxtaposes the local stone 

color with a lighter granite and becomes a focus feature when its 

infinity edge is running. 

10. Purple catmint and salvia are organized around a bluestone 

walkway leading to the front door. Extending the color of the 

season, blooming white Annabelle hydrangeas last from summer 

through early fall.

Family Oasis 

Parker Construction and Landscape 

Creations help realize a couple’s dream 

retreat fit for multiple generations. 


“Our firm is regularly 

asked to ‘bend time’ on 

behalf of New England 

homeowners who want 

to enjoy home and 

property renovations in 

time for summer months, 

but the pandemic took 

our typical challenges 

to a new level.” 

—Adam Parker

association to the landscape. 

Bottom: A rebuilt custom stairway and

connection to the outdoors. 


The homeowners of this waterfront property in Newport, 

Rhode Island, recently embarked on an extensive 

renovation and expansion of what was originally a spec 

house in the hopes of customizing the residence to 

their needs. The couple’s children and grandchildren 

often visit, so creating spaces with family entertaining in 

mind was a must. To help with this transformation, the 

homeowners called upon David Andreozzi of Andreozzi 

Architecture, general contractor Parker Construction, 

landscape architecture firm Mather & Page, and landscape 

construction company Landscape Creations. 

Parker Construction oversaw the renovation, which 

touches nearly every aspect of the home, and introduced 

a 2,000-square-foot addition. “The original house was 

nice and very well made, but the finishes totally lacked 

warmth and character,” recalls Senior Project Manager 

Scott Herlihy. The clients agreed to upgrade materials 

throughout, replacing the narrow strip oak flooring 

with wider black walnut planks and rebuilding the main 

staircase to accommodate intricate wood railings. 

“These clients were wonderful to work with because they 

were really engaged by the idea of creating an exceptional 

space for their family,” says Adam Parker of Parker 

Construction. “They were always open to shifting away 

from traditional architectural paradigms to pursue unique 

and exquisite details like the custom stairway, fireplace

walls now welcomes visitors at the front of the home.

mantle, and the glass ceiling in the kitchen.” Perhaps 

the biggest interior change is the new kitchen, which 

features skylights designed by Architect David Andreozzi 

that run the entire length of the space and are wired to 

cast an ambient glow at night. “That was the single most 

considered piece in the entire property,” notes Herlihy. 

According to Parker, installation required a massive team 

effort among various tradespeople, since there were 

glasswork, lighting, framing, and structural issues to 

sort out. 

Managing the complex logistics and multi-team 

collaboration required on a construction project of this 

magnitude are not new to Parker and his team. “Our firm 

is regularly asked to ‘bend time’ on behalf of New England 

homeowners who want to enjoy home and property 

renovations in time for summer months, but the pandemic 

took our typical challenges to a new level,” says Parker. 

Hit with lockdown orders, labor shortages, pre-vaccine 

safety requirements, and supply chain disruptions, the 

project required high levels of creativity and teamwork 

to hit the date. “Throughout the project, each 

subcontractor stepped up when they needed to and 

helped push it forward.” 

“These homeowners 

were so appreciative and 

fun to work with. Their 

intention was to invest 

in future memories with 

their family, which is 

something that resonates 

with us as a company.” 

—Jonathan Zeyl 

The final pièce de resistance on the project is its new 

landscape, which integrates the home with its natural 

environment and introduces a front courtyard, gardens, 

and several outdoor living spaces including a pool, 

covered outdoor kitchen, dining terrace, and fire pit. 

Among Landscape Creations’ tasks were final grading 

of the site, drainage work, a new driveway, architectural 

stonework, paving, pool coping, planting, lawn installation, 

and the construction of stone walls, terraces and pathways. 

The site’s stonework is a mix of fieldstone, granite, and 

limestone—the latter of which is the most predominant. 

“We had five overseas containers of limestone that came 

in from Portugal early on during the pandemic,” recalls 

Jonathan Zeyl, president and co-owner of Landscape 

Creations. “To protect ourselves from the rampant supply 

chain issues at that time, we ordered extra stock and 

custom milled it as needed on site to produce the 

different thicknesses and design patterns specified.” 

Zeyl also notes that a critical piece of the puzzle was 

maintaining consistency with the existing on-site masonry. 

“There were certain features that we needed to preserve, 

so we had to match the style and technique for everything 

to appear cohesive.” 

Aside from the extensive masonry work throughout the site, Landscape Creations sourced and installed a 

mix of native and nonnative plants, perennial shrubs, and larger trees. “Our overarching objective for this 

project was to better connect the home and the landscape,” says Zeyl. “The new pathways and gardens 

create a nice flow from the front of the house to the back.” And as for the collaboration with the clients, 

Zeyl says it couldn’t have gone better. “These homeowners were so appreciative and fun to work with. 

Their intention was to invest in future memories with their family, which is something that resonates with 

us as a company.”
