Modern Living Room with Limestone Flooring Ideas and Designs
Saint Dizier Design
The Living Room went virtually unused for years so we made two areas for entertaining and family use. This side is the cocktail gathering area with 6 swivel chairs around a leather ottoman. The bar, with up-lit shelves and backlit textured glass is flanked by operable walnut and frosted glass doors. The inset panels are also backlit and can be dimmed in the evening to create a soft glow.

Natural linen sofas face each other across a matte lacquer coffee table, with hair hide ottomans at the end point. Pillows in deep blues and silver abstract design contrast with the neutral sofas.

The clients for this modern stucco and masonry house had lived for 18 years in a smaller house on this same site: a level, corner lot with many mature trees. They wanted generous living spaces for the family of four to be able to be together and entertain while still allowing each person private spaces for sleeping, recreation, and study.
The house is designed in two wings creating an "L" along the site's corner and around a courtyard with a lap pool. The shape of the house allows the longest view of the site as a captured quiet space, now fully landscaped. The "L" wings accommodate the bedrooms, dens and studies. In the crook of the wings sits a higher family and public entertaining space that overlooks the garden and pool.
My clients now enjoy maximum urban privacy and full-site enjoyment of their property in their close-to-downtown neighborhood.
Materials, selected from a subtle-range color pallet, give the house the solidity and tranquility the clients originally desired.

Isabella Fireplace Mantel
This finely proportioned 17th Century mantel, with an ornately carved mantel, features distinctive, supple curving lines and a delicate shell carving at its center. It truly captures the essence of the Isabella.

Azalea is The 2012 New American Home as commissioned by the National Association of Home Builders and was featured and shown at the International Builders Show and in Florida Design Magazine, Volume 22; No. 4; Issue 24-12. With 4,335 square foot of air conditioned space and a total under roof square footage of 5,643 this home has four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. It was designed and constructed to achieve the highest level of “green” certification while still including sophisticated technology such as retractable window shades, motorized glass doors and a high-tech surveillance system operable just by the touch of an iPad or iPhone. This showcase residence has been deemed an “urban-suburban” home and happily dwells among single family homes and condominiums. The two story home brings together the indoors and outdoors in a seamless blend with motorized doors opening from interior space to the outdoor space. Two separate second floor lounge terraces also flow seamlessly from the inside. The front door opens to an interior lanai, pool, and deck while floor-to-ceiling glass walls reveal the indoor living space. An interior art gallery wall is an entertaining masterpiece and is completed by a wet bar at one end with a separate powder room. The open kitchen welcomes guests to gather and when the floor to ceiling retractable glass doors are open the great room and lanai flow together as one cohesive space. A summer kitchen takes the hospitality poolside.

Reverse Architecture
The AM Apartment is a renovation of a condominium apartment in the marina area of Sarasota, Florida. The curving ceiling produces a continuously rippling plane that conceals structural beams and unifies a large central space. LED lights are integrated into the ceiling. Glass, concrete, bamboo, and limestone give character and color to the airy interior.
