Location: Deerpark, NY
This beautifully designed two-story single-family residence captures the timeless charm and modern elegance often sought after in Long Island living. The home features a classic symmetrical façade enhanced by a combination of crisp white horizontal siding and textured white stonework, creating a refined yet welcoming exterior.
A series of steeply pitched gables with contrasting dark charcoal shingles adds architectural depth and visual interest, while the black-framed windows provide a striking, contemporary contrast against the light exterior palette. The centered front entry is highlighted by a covered portico with clean lines and subtle columns, offering both curb appeal and functional shelter.
The attached garage is seamlessly integrated into the design, maintaining the home’s cohesive aesthetic. A spacious driveway and neatly manicured front lawn, accented with low-profile shrubs and fresh greenery, further enhance the property’s polished presentation.
Set against a bright, open sky, this residence blends traditional suburban character with modern finishes in a prime Long Island setting.
Location: Queens, NY
This second-floor addition transforms a modest single-story residence into a refined, well-proportioned two-story home that blends with its neighborhood context in Queens.
The design carefully balances old and new, retaining the warmth and character of the original brick base while introducing a lighter, upper level in horizontal siding. This contrast creates a visually grounded composition: the solid masonry first floor anchors the home, while the second-story addition appears airy and refined, enhancing the overall scale without overwhelming the streetscape.
A reimagined front façade establishes a welcoming presence. The porch, elevated slightly above grade, features clean-lined black metal railings and a generous stair approach that adds depth and dimension.
Material transitions are handled with precision: crisp white trim frames windows and rooflines, sharpening the overall aesthetic, while the interplay of brick, siding, and shingle textures adds richness without excess. Exterior lighting at the entry enhances both safety and ambiance, emphasizing the home’s welcoming character in the evening.
The result is an expansion that elevates a typical single-story house into a modern, two-story residence with timeless appeal, perfectly suited for its residential setting in Queens.
Location: Freeport, NY
This renovation transforms a traditional stucco Colonial residence into an elegant French Provincial–inspired home, blending timeless European character with refined contemporary detailing. The reimagined façade is anchored by a sculptural mansard-style roof, crowned with a graceful arched dormer that introduces a sense of verticality and classic proportion. This defining architectural gesture not only enhances the second-story presence but also establishes a distinctive identity within the neighborhood.
The exterior palette is intentionally restrained, featuring smooth, light-toned stucco contrasted by soft stone accents at the base, creating a subtle interplay of texture and depth. Carefully articulated trim profiles, including pronounced cornices and window surrounds, lend a sense of craftsmanship and permanence. Symmetry is thoughtfully balanced with functional modern elements, such as the second-floor balcony with slender metal railings, offering both visual lightness and outdoor living space.
At the ground level, expansive glazing replaces more traditional openings, bringing transparency and connection to the landscape. The rear façade is further activated by a covered terrace and a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor environments, reflecting a contemporary lifestyle within a classical framework. A side sunroom extension integrates harmoniously with the main structure, maintaining consistent rooflines and material continuity.
The overall composition respects the original massing of the Colonial structure while elevating it through proportion, detailing, and a cohesive architectural language. This project exemplifies a sensitive yet transformative approach—merging the charm of French Provincial design with the clarity and functionality expected in modern residential living.
Location: West Hempstead, NY
This striking two-story single-family residence embodies the clean sophistication of modern architecture, thoughtfully adapted to the suburban context of Long Island. The design is defined by its crisp geometric composition, featuring a series of interlocking rectangular volumes and a low-slope roofline that emphasizes strong horizontal lines.
The exterior palette is intentionally restrained yet warm, combining smooth white stucco with natural wood accents that frame the central entry and soffits. This contrast adds depth and visual interest while maintaining a refined, contemporary aesthetic. A prominent vertical entry bay, highlighted by floor-to-ceiling glazing and rich wood cladding, creates a welcoming focal point and reinforces the home’s sense of scale and elegance.
Large, strategically placed windows with dark trim punctuate the façade, allowing for abundant natural light while creating a bold contrast against the light exterior. The asymmetrical arrangement of these openings enhances the modern character and gives the home a dynamic visual rhythm.
On the right side, a recessed balcony with sleek metal railings introduces an element of indoor-outdoor living, adding both functionality and architectural layering. Integrated exterior lighting subtly highlights the building’s planes and textures, enhancing its presence during evening hours.
The landscape design complements the architecture with clean lines and manicured greenery, including sculpted shrubs and a neatly edged lawn. A minimalist walkway with embedded lighting leads to the entrance, reinforcing the home’s modern sensibility while ensuring a polished and inviting approach.
Overall, this residence showcases a harmonious blend of form, material, and proportion—an elegant expression of contemporary design tailored for modern suburban living.
