We love a home that combines the old with the new and does so while creating a charming and cheerful living environment. That is just what you get with this lovely residence in Summit, New Jersey where the classic exterior of the house is draped in a gray and white sheen. Bluish-gray is a trendy choice for home exteriors and combining it with white trims makes it even more beautiful. Step inside and this love for blue, gray and white continues with an open plan living area on the lower level and private spaces on the top floor. A lovely, traditional staircase connects both the floors as Rinaldi Interiors fill each room with a sense of uniqueness.

Every room in the house seems to surprise you with something different and the best among them all is the dining room which has a wallpaper that steals the show instantly. In the white and blue home office it is the Woods Wallpaper by Cole and Son that sets the mood even as the bedrooms stay away from bold pattern and embrace a more tranquil look. In the living area it is white that shapes the backdrop even as a gray accent wall that is turned into a dashing gallery wall. This ingenious design style is continued in bathrooms as well with green floor tiles in one and a monochromatic white look in the other.

    Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville NC with distant north views of Mt Spivey and a narrow sloping lot, this wedge-shaped home is a response to site. We took into careful consideration a variety of site-specific inputs including views, sun orientation, prevailing winds, privacy, and natural cooling/heating techniques among others. The result is a functional, energy efficient home with a distinctive exterior shape and warm light filled interior spaces. The home’s dominant shed roof maximizes solar orientation for photovoltaic panels while also allowing for a double-height central atrium to flood the core of the house with natural light and exhaust hot air on hot summer days. The introduction of natural light into the core of the house reduces the need for artificial lighting on cloudy days, while the chimney effect created by opening large operable skylights at the top of the atrium reduces HVAC loads by bringing cool air up from the basement. This central atrium is an example of how a design feature can multitask –it brings natural light deep into the core of the house, it cools the house using the chimney effect, and it provides a place to grow plants which filter interior air. It also allowed us to minimize the street facing windows for privacy while still maintaining a light filled interior. Anchoring the bottom of the atrium are four large arched openings and a Spanish terracotta tile floor. The tile floor is a durable surface good for watering plants and for heavy foot traffic. A keyhole opening marks the boundary between private and public sides of the house while two of the arched openings frame an intimate eating nook and entry foyer with walls covered in locally milled southern yellow pine. The last arch has steps spilling out into a sunken living room and kitchen area with access to a back deck. Locally milled cypress, a naturally rot resistant wood, covers the exterior and anchors the strong geometry of the house to the site. In the end, our desire for functionality created something more than just an energy efficient home. The interior took on an unexpected bohemian feel; one that originated from a desire for light and functionality, but resulted in warm soft interior spaces that were comfortable and welcoming.
