Spire Integrated Systems Inc.Tucked away in the backwoods of Torch Lake, this home marries “rustic” with the sleek elegance of modern. The combination of wood, stone and metal textures embrace the charm of a classic farmhouse. Although this is not your average farmhouse. The home is outfitted with a high performing system that seamlessly works with the design and architecture.
The tall ceilings and windows allow ample natural light into the main room. Spire Integrated Systems installed Lutron QS Wireless motorized shades paired with Hartmann & Forbes windowcovers to offer privacy and block harsh light. The custom 18′ windowcover’s woven natural fabric complements the organic esthetics of the room. The shades are artfully concealed in the millwork when not in use.
Spire installed B&W in-ceiling speakers and Sonance invisible in-wall speakers to deliver ambient music that emanates throughout the space with no visual footprint. Spire also installed a Sonance Landscape Audio System so the homeowner can enjoy music outside.
Each system is easily controlled using Savant. Spire personalized the settings to the homeowner’s preference making controlling the home efficient and convenient.

Closet FactoryEnhancing the functionality and aesthetics of built-in units can be achieved by thoughtfully incorporating accessories.
Consider adding adjustable shelving to accommodate items of varying heights, maximizing storage potential. Incorporating built-in lighting can create a visually appealing ambiance and highlight displayed items. Drawer organizers and dividers help maintain order, ensuring that every item has its designated place.
Additionally, incorporating decorative hardware such as stylish handles or knobs can impart a personalized touch. For entertainment units, cable management systems contribute to a clean and organized appearance.
Whether it's baskets, bins, or pull-out trays, accessorizing built-in units not only elevates their practicality but also allows for a customized and well-organized space that aligns with both form and function.
HUDSON DESIGN Architecture & Construction MgmtThe conversion of this iconic American barn into a Writer’s Studio was conceived of as a tranquil retreat with natural light and lush views to stimulate inspiration for both husband and wife. Originally used as a garage with two horse stalls, the existing stick framed structure provided a loft with ideal space and orientation for a secluded studio. Signature barn features were maintained and enhanced such as horizontal siding, trim, large barn doors, cupola, roof overhangs, and framing. New features added to compliment the contextual significance and sustainability aspect of the project were reclaimed lumber from a razed barn used as flooring, driftwood retrieved from the shores of the Hudson River used for trim, and distressing / wearing new wood finishes creating an aged look. Along with the efforts for maintaining the historic character of the barn, modern elements were also incorporated into the design to provide a more current ensemble based on its new use. Elements such a light fixtures, window configurations, plumbing fixtures and appliances were all modernized to appropriately represent the present way of life.

Intrim Group Pty LtdThe design is typical Hampton's with a punch of personality that gives an instant wow factor.
This was a renovation of epic proportions where the original 1860s farmhouse was renovated and built around by adding a wing on either side. The home has been in the family for many generations so it was important to respect its history while creating new, beautiful spaces.
From the very start of the project Natalee had decided the kitchen was going to be the standout of this home, falling back on the saying that the ‘kitchen is the heart of the home.’ Not only is the scale grand, the design, colour choices and styling too. The custom cabinetry features Intrim’s inlay moulds and is bordered by our skirting boards, adding an extra element of oomph, or is like ‘putting earrings on the outfit,’ as Natalee would say.
There is clearly a very traditional Hamptons design throughout the home with some more unexpected elements that are Natalee’s personal touches, reflecting her own style and taste.
The home is styled down to its last inch and is high impact and jaw dropping at every turn.
The mouldings throughout this home are extensive, bold and large. Intrim supplied Intrim SK505 skirting boards in 230mm and 115mm architraves, SB01 skirting block, CR46 chair rail, IN25 inlay mould, IN09 inlay mould, PR26 picture rail, CM25 cornice mould, CM27 cornice mould and IHR10 handrail
