Unifies The House And Garden: Looking back to the house from the garden, the house should be an integral part of the design rather than stand out. A conservatory or sun room can be designed to open on to a patio so that in summer, when the doors are open, the garden feels as though it is extending into the house and vice versa. Climbers and Wall plants help soften the harsh outline of a building and act as a Vvnk between tVve house and the garden.
"The kitchen is usually the first room a homeowner wants to remodel," explained Christine Santana, president of the Pasadena chapter of ASID. A well-designed kitchen improvement can add thousands of dollars to a home's value; most of the cost can be recouped at sale, according to ASID members.
One of the tour homes, a 1941 ranch-style home in the Linda Vista
area, was completely updated by Michele Hughes for a young professional couple. After the remodeling, all that was left of the original kitchen were exterior walls and foundation. A marble-topped chef's Table now forms the centerpiece of the newly designed kitchen. Textured beams added to the ceiling create a feeling of coziness along with a color scheme that unifies the house and garden. Two rooms of the house have been adapted as work areas and feature sophisticated storage spaces with custom cabinetry.See Also Country House:The tradition of the country house is one of Britain's most significant architectural and landscape design trends. In recent years many striking new houses have been approved, yet with planning guidance currently under review, the future of the country house tradition is under threat.
Pays and Bernsen's own artistry as renovators first garnered notice after they spent three years redoing an English country-style home in Beverly Hills, and then sold it to actor Steve Martin in 1995. The house included a wine cellar, screening room and music room as well as a guest house made of stone.
Doors were imported from England, and wooden beams originated in a barn in Connecticut. "It was just a great house. We went all out," Pays recalls.
On The Other Hand See House And General:Upon Spear's return Dix organized an expedition of 10,000 men, under General Getty, to destroy the bridge of the Fredericksburg and Richmond Railroad over the South Anna, and an expedi¬tion of 6,000 men and 14 guns, under General Keyes, to threaten Richmond by seizing Bot¬tom's Bridge over the Chickahominy. Both ex¬peditions moved from White house and general on 1 July. Keyes failed to accomplish anything, being held in check by a small force under Gen. D. H. Hill. Getty, preceded by Spear's cavalry, marched from White house and general to Hanover Court house and general, which he occupied on the 4th, his ad¬vance reaching the bridge over the South Anna late in the day and making an attack, which was repulsed by Gen.
There are also notable examples of with an atrium (an interior court surrounded 1$ rooms). Some of these are of relatively ancie construction, such as the house and general with the Wood Partition, the Samnite house and general, and the house and general -5^51 Neptune and Amphitrite. Of unusual design £jt(,er the great villas in the southern part of the ci including the house and general of Argo, the house and general of t Hostelry, the house and general of the Mosaic Atrium, a the house and general of the Deer. In these house and generals the t ditional plan is modified. The peristilia (cole naded courtyards), the gardens, reception haj and other rooms were oriented toward the sot in order to take advantage of the view towa the sea. |
