Cincinnati February/March 2024

The kosher kitchen includes two refrigerators, two dishwashers and two sinks.
Tall ceilings in the great room allow the family to take advantage of the view.
Shared success
“The project got more exciting as we
got further into it,” Goodin says. “In the
beginning, Lorie had a vision and I had
a vision. About two-thirds of the way
through the project they were coming
together.”
A primary goal was to create a space
that offered year-round color. The heavily
wooded lot posed both a challenge
and an advantage. “Trying to get bold
foliage in a shady setting is challenging,”
Goodin says. Yet the trees themselves
are a perfect backdrop. Jeremy
and the youngest of the couple’s three
children, their daughter Lainey, list
some of the species seen out the studio’s
windows—Sycamore, Sassafrass,
Shag Bark Hickory, Sherry, Maple, Paw
Paw, Buckeye, and Black Walnut.
There does happen to be one area
on the property that gets a decent
amount of sunshine. On the border
of the stamped concrete patio, Lorie
designed three large custom planters
which Goodin says, “exceeded all expectations.
What Lorie did with these is
amazing.”
Inside looking out
The interior spaces in the home take
full advantage of the backyard view
with walls of windows in the kitchen,
great room and primary bedroom suite.
Lorie’s artistic touch is seen once again
in the countertop-to-ceiling Rookwood
Pottery backsplash. She worked with
the artisans there to create the striking
piece of art that Jeremy says, “manages
to complement all four seasons as it
draws the eye to the outdoors.”
Interior beams, built by Kessler,
were made from hickory trees that
were taken down on the property. The
couple had them milled, planked, kiln
dried and cut. Exterior soffits are constructed
from this hickory as well. ➻
