When Janice Parker’s Connecticut client arrived at their first consultation toting rose catalogs covered with Post-it notes, the landscape architect knew she was in for a unique adventure of aromatic proportions. Parker also knew she would need backup. Along with infinite opportunities to showcase her client’s favorite flower, the twenty-two acres would require a series of terraces leading from the house to a lake. Fortunately, this country’s foremost rosarian is on Parker’s speed dial. Not only did Parker need Stephen Scanniello’s expertise in selecting roses beyond your typical go ..read more

Inside a Maine Guesthouse Designed by Betsy Wentz

While driving through Lubec, Maine, Emily Dwyer, an architectural designer at Nate Holyoke Builders, spied a square gabled smokehouse. It instantly sparked an idea for a guesthouse and entertaining space she was designing in Blue Hill. The clients, who had worked with Dwyer on their main house, were originally contemplating a much more modern design. “But this would fit in with the old Maine cottage vernacular of Blue Hill,” Dwyer says of the complex, which ended up as a cluster of three white-cedar shingle “pods” with standing-seam metal roofs. The main pod contains two bedrooms an ..read more

Call it the long game. The very long game. Since she was in grade school, Coventry (Covie) Edwards-Pitt has loved flowers. She’d spend countless hours hunched over a notebook sketching her favorite blooms, imagining beautiful bouquets and floral wallpapers with stripes or lattices. As an adult, she learned to paint in watercolor and eventually to garden. Her subject never wavered. “I’ve always been an artist at heart,” she says. “And my focus has always been flowers and wallpaper.” But a successful career in the financial industry kept Edwards-Pitt busy. As partner and chief creative o ..read more

“I look. I look everywhere,” says Maine-based artist Joanne Tarlin when I ask her what inspires her atmospheric and allegorical oil paintings, each replete with the wonders of nature. As we sit in her expansive, light-filled artist’s studio at her waterside home in Harpswell, Maine, she points to the oversized picture window that frames the coastal waters and adds, “As you can see, there’s so much that is beautiful to look at: the ever-changing light, the water, the tides, the way the sky—” Before she can finish, we spot a high-flying black-capped tern as it dives down sharply into th ..read more

Greek Revival-Style Meets Energy Efficiency
New England Home Magazine

Traditional design meets net-zero technology in a new house on a quiet suburban street west of Boston. But while passersby can admire the classic nineteenth-century Greek Revival-style architecture, and visitors can take in the mid-twentieth-century-modern aesthetic of the interior, the twenty-first-century building techniques and products that make the structure a model of energy efficiency are hidden from view. “Although this house is most advanced in terms of green building, we used architectural details that people would recognize,” says architect J.B. Clancy of ART Architects ..read more

This Brookline Landscape Design was Inspired by European Chateaus

Not all clients feel that a landscape is equally as important as a home’s architecture and interiors, but these Brookline, Massachusetts, homeowners took an indoor/outdoor tandem approach to the design of their residence from the start. While the architects at Shope Reno Wharton were designing a house with all the elegance and presence of a European chateau, Troy Sober, principal and landscape architect at Gregory Lombardi Design, was drafting a landscape of corresponding impact. But the family’s needs were not the sole focus for the landscape design. Hosting alfresco philanthropic eve ..read more

A Classic Home in Wellesley

From the outside, the old house was unassuming to a fault. Inside, however, was a different story. “I remember walking in and saying, ‘There’s so much light and space in here,’ ” the wife recalls. “The outside was completely inconsistent with the loveliness of the inside.” The interior architectural details of the gambrel-roofed colonial built in 1916 appealed to her and her husband, a worldly couple who grew up in Canada, had lived in Europe and Australia, and now wanted to settle in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with their three young children. In the eighteen years since, the hous ..read more
