Kassel InteriorsHeaded by Anita Kassel, Kassel Interiors is a full service interior design firm active in the greater New York metro area; but the real story is that we put the design cliches aside and get down to what really matters: your goals and aspirations for your space.
Brendan McHugh, Architect, Manasquan, NJVISION AND NEEDS:
Homeowner sought a ‘retreat’ outside of NY that would have water views and offer options for entertaining groups of friends in the house and by pool. Being a car enthusiast, it was important to have a multi-car-garage.
MCHUGH SOLUTION:
The client sought McHugh because of our recognizable modern designs in the area.
We were up for the challenge to design a home with a narrow lot located in a flood zone where views of the Toms River were secured from multiple rooms; while providing privacy on either side of the house. The elevated foundation offered incredible views from the roof. Each guest room opened up to a beautiful balcony. Flower beds, beautiful natural stone quarried from West Virginia and cedar siding, warmed the modern aesthetic, as you ascend to the front porch.
UserThe House:
This Contemporary Cotswold Eco-house emulates South African thatch homes whilst retaining a distinctly vernacular feel to tie it to is locale. The large glazed and canopied gable was designed to connect the first-floor library office space directly to the garden. A reflection pool was used to bounce light into the room and onto the vaulted ceiling in the ground floor family space to produce a light an airy socialising area.
As a keen cook our client wanted to be able to engage with their visitors whilst continuing to prepare food and drinks we therefore centred the kitchen between the open plan spaces, stealing some of the adjacent wing to form a large larder.
With a bespoke kitchen, utility, boot room, office and staircases the external aesthetic was drawn throughout the internal areas to reinforce the connection between the interior environment and the gardens beyond.
Landscaping:
The gardens were designed to produce the wide ranging and varied spaces needed by a modern home.
Next to the driveway is a small zen space with running water and a place to sit and reflect. There is a kitchen garden and store tucked behind the house, before you get to the formal rear gardens where a classic lawn and borders approach was used only broken by the reflection pool that anchors the space. Enclosed with a high drystone wall, patio and Barbeque areas were placed around the house and a section of the garden was segmented off to allow the ground mounted PVT panels to be hidden from view. This also produced a small orchard and chickens area.
Sustainable features including:
GSHP – a bore holed heat pump coupled with PVT to act as a thermal store when sunny.
PVT – heat and electricity generating panels to minimise running costs.
Sustainable materials and a local supply chain.
Waste minimisation in design.
High insulation levels (low U and Y values)
Highly efficient appliances
Bio-diversifying landscaping.

Specialized Stair and RailThe designers of this home brought us a real challenge; to build a unsupported curved stair that looks like stacked lumber. We believe this solid oak curved stair meets that challenge. LED lighting adds a modern touch to a rustic project. The widening effect at the bottom of the stair creates a welcoming impression. Our innovative design creates a look that floats on air.

DUCE CONSTRUCTION CORPOne of the critical elements of this staircase was the thinness of its walls - no thicker than the handrail itself. Another was incorporating the lighting.
