Stacey Ruhle Kliesch and Gary Kliesch hadn’t planned on buying<br />
their Brant Beach home, which they’ve since dubbed “The Kove.”<br />
But once Stacey, owner of Stacey Ruhle Kliesch, Architect LLC, in<br />
Ridgewood, and Gary, principal of GK+A Architects, PC, in Rutherford,<br />
owned the property on the Barnegat Bay, they were eager to transform it<br />
into their ideal shore residence. “We made this purchase on a lucky whim,”<br />
Stacey says. “We were enthusiastic about the wonderful possibilities.”<br />
DNJ: What was your vision for this home?<br />
STACEY RUHLE KLIESCH: As two architects, we wanted to go outside<br />
of the typical design you see on the Jersey Shore. We decided to<br />
incorporate some principles of modern design. We used clean lines,<br />
linear masses with little ornamentation, interesting roofl ines and<br />
asymmetry. We maximized natural light with large windows and<br />
incorporated innovative and eco-friendly building materials, open floor<br />
