It’s really fun to play in the clouds! Silvermine Art Center. Hard Pastel on Board 2026 #marybethwoodsarchitect #cloudstudies #hardpastellandscape

Concealing LED lighting in the walls and ceiling eliminates all the recessed lights. It highlights the architectural elements, without the distraction of lots of circles in the ceiling. At the historic Mill, this allows you to focus on the antique beams, posts , and brick walls. But it needs to be integrated into the early planning stages.

A New Classic for the Connecticut Coast. Shingle style beach house #shinglestyle #shinglestylebeachhouse #shinglestylearchitecture

I’ve learned safe is boring. You can go outside the box, combining old and new, and create something completely original that is still classic and timeless. Here a Steampunk faucet is paired against a contemporary water jet curved marble backsplash. #outsidethebox #mixingitup #oldnew #fairfieldcountydesign #fairfieldcountyarchitect
