OVERVIEW

The vision for this project was to redevelop an existing structure, a former 1950’s warehouse facility, without tearing it down. Eleven high-end homes were designed, and each is loaded with high-end amenities, incorporating a communal courtyard, as well as private patios. These homes encourage a sense of community while maintaining personal space.

The project is nestled in the heart of the Strip District, a vibrant mix of small and large businesses, sidewalk vendors, and restaurants. This area is where industrial and wholesale businesses merge with entrepreneurial, retail, and high-tech companies.

Rear Stairway Motorcourt

Pittsburgh Magazine’s Ultimate House 2016.

OVERVIEW

Unit #5 is a three-story residence in 2500 Smallman, a refurbished 1950s-era warehouse building in Pittsburgh’s historic Strip District. The clients sought to create a home that would combine the features and amenities of an upscale urban residence with the unique context provided by the overall building.

Entering the lower level from the motor court at the core of the building, one immediatly feels welcomed by the intimate scale spaces dressed in warm tones. The large floating staircase connects all three levels of the home within a soaring volume that accentuates the open nature of the design. Custom glass and stainless-steel railings were selected to provide a clean and modern feel.

In the middle level, large folding glass walls blur the line between indoor and outdoor, allowing natural light to pour inside, and create a large space with a continuum from the great room to the patio when folded open.

The third level of this home cradles the master suite, which receives plenty of sun light and features rich, natural materials, providing a serene ambiance. This level enjoys a view of the home’s green roof over the second floor, private patio, balcony, and a boardwalk, located at the spine of the building, that serves as a communal connection between all 11 units in this building.

This condo unit is within our 2500 Smallman project. The residence includes two bedrooms, one full bath, a living room, office and two-car garage on the lower level. On the upper level there is the dining room, great room, lounge area, kitchen, and the primary suite that features two closets.

The client wanted a space that was warm, inviting, and friendly - which we believe reflects the personality of those living there. We utilized warm and natural materials to achieve this aesthetic and feel.

OVERVIEW

This home uniquely draws from a traditional country home style, but takes on a modern twist. The interior design has a modern, clean, and open concept to make the space livable and delightful. Large windows and walls painted with soft, light colors bring in natural light in a way that makes the space feel welcoming.

One feature that stands out in the main living area is a custom floating fireplace. This fireplace sits between the living room and the formal reading room, separating the spaces for privacy, but links the two spaces together.

Since cooking is very important to the client, the kitchen was carefully designed to fit the client’s needs. In order to be able to entertain guests while simultaneously cooking, the kitchen opens up into the breakfast room, and that is connected directly to the great room.

Although the layout is far from a traditional home layout, the space is still warm and inviting, and echoes tradition while being designed to fit the specific personality of the client.

OVERVIEW

Due to the stunning site for this home, the plan organically follows the contours of the hillside to take advantage of southeast/west views. Local ledge rock, which has been collected and stacked to create massive walls, provides definitive spatial separations in a strong design statement. This is echoed in the massive finished stone fireplaces, Western Red Cedar beams, and roof deck.

$5,000,000 AREA

6,500 sq. ft.

The home manages to feel warm and natural with material, such as stone, cherry wood, and copper cladding, while also using crisp and modern details. Throughout the home, floors are finished in hand hewn cherry and slate pavers.

Spaces fan outward to accept the sunlight of southern windows, as well as featuring clerestory windows for more privacy. Copper is used as a rain screen and for the roof; its dark color carries through to the fixtures, such as the spa and tub, and is reflected in the bronze hardware throughout.

This home works to blur the boundary between inside and outside, making it a truly special space.

Port Cochere

Private Guest House.

OVERVIEW

This 1,800-square foot guest house captures the cozy, rustic and honest feeling of a true log cabin through the log cabin architectural style. The home uses wood siding, stone piers, and a stone fireplace to echo nature, and features a large front porch so guests can engage with nature.

Upon entering the house from the expansive sun porch, guests are immediately greeted by a timeless wood-burning stone fireplace in the living room. This room feel truly magical when the warm glow from the fireplace bounces off the warm wood clad walls and stone tile floors.

Cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, slate and hardwood floors and comfortable furniture compliment the rustic feel throughout the structure.

Although the project is new construction, the ultimate goal is to create an old-world mountain feel to make guests feel transported to a different time. However, the house is fully equipped with the comforts of modern day technology, incorporating energy efficient design features and amenities. Our team also assisted with the design of custom furniture.

OVERVIEW

Desmone has designed many wine cellars for various homes. Although many of these cellars have some similarities in their design, each is designed uniquely to fit its own home and the needs and preferences of the owners.

Most of these cellars use similar materials, including stone, brick, cork flooring, leather accents, concrete surfaces, copper details and wood. However, each of these materials are used in unique ways to fit the style of both the client and the rest of the home. The spaces each have a fine attention to detail when it comes to the materiality, giving each cellar a special character.

Low lighting is used in most of the cellars to add to the cozy atmosphere. Each fixture, however, is selected to embellish the individual design of the various cellars.

Most of the cellars feature custom shelving to hold the wine bottles, and typically include two or three different shelving styles per cellar, allowing the owners to have flexibility in the organization of the wine. Beyond shelving for the wine, all of these homes have additional shelving and drawers for other alcoholic beverages such as champagne and liquor.

OVERVIEW

This residence is a contemporary rowhome located just outside of Downtown Pittsburgh in the Northside neighborhood of Deutschtown. It combines the owner’s respect and appreciation of traditional neighborhood architecture with their love of clean lines and modern design. Each element - from the overall organization to the objects within - tells the story of their family and how we choose to live.

The home’s interior layout is ordered around their daily activities. The formal entry and public spaces are located on the busier street side, while personal spaces are located on the rear to maximize access to natural light and the privacy of the exterior courtyard. The kitchen, dining and living areas are arranged in an open floor plan to maximize efficiency and sense of space. The stair is located at the heart of the home and serves as both a feature object and connecting space. The large skylight and custom light fixture at the top of the stairwell ensure that light always reaches the center of the long and narrow floor plan. Mechanical equipment and ductwork are carefully centralized to minimize intrusions within each space and increase energy efficiency.

The owners had a dream to renovate their home into a space where they could entertain their large family. They needed a space that would facilitate gatherings. They envisioned an inviting spacious environment while providing a bright, airy atmosphere to reflect the hospitality they hold dear to their hearts.

It was a top priority to ensure that the newly added 460 square-foot allseason room would blend into the interior of the home to provide a modern feel, and give the impression that the addition was always a part of the contextual part of the property. To accomplish this we used new finishes that matched existing ones or complemented them well.

OVERVIEW

This home is situated on a narrow lot with a wash easement running along one side and employs a linear design of 5 “boxes” (Garage, Utility, Living, Master Suite and Guest Suite) that step down the gently sloping site. Each box is articulated with different stucco colors and some with metal reveals to accentuate the low, horizontal nature of the design. They are connected by single-loaded hallways with floor to ceiling glass, providing a connection to outdoor courtyards and landscape. Corner windows and multi-slide door systems add to that indoor-outdoor connection. The “warm contemporary” design employs a large palette of materials including wood, stone, steel, stucco, and honed concrete block. A cupola adds indirect light to the kitchen and the living room doors open to a covered patio and negative edge pool. The home also features a rooftop patio with a fireplace that sits over the garage and offers 360° views of the surrounding mountains and desert landscape.

The home was featured in the 2014 “Dream Homes” issue of Phoenix Home & Garden magazine and was also a part of their annual “Palette of Homes” tour.

OVERVIEW

Set on a large irrigated lot, this 4 bedroom home was designed to evoke the agricultural history of the area. Although built in whole, the home was designed to appear as a conglomeration of gabled, brick outbuildings that were connected over time by lower sloping metal shed roofs. The main living volume is articulated with salvaged barn beams, giving the “original” home a unique depth and aged character. The “double-h” shaped floorplan allows many rooms to receive natural light on 3 sides. Large folding doors open the kitchen to an outdoor living room and the rear yard which features a raised pool and detached guest house / pool cabana. The master suite hallway incorporates brick flooring, a brick wall, barn doors and wood beams to give the illusion of an old covered porch that has been converted to interior space.

The home was featured in, and on the cover of, the September 2017 issue of Phoenix Home & Garden magazine and was also a part of their annual “Palette of Homes” tour .

Private Residence.

OVERVIEW

The exterior of this home was designed as a craftsman style farm house to fit into the neighborhood context, while the interior was done in a contemporary shaker style. The new house was woven around mature trees that were present on the fifty-year-old site, giving the house a feeling of having existed for decades. The first floor includes a master suite with a sitting room, 3 children’s rooms, living room, dining room, family room and a large kitchen with a butler’s pantry that connects to a child’s study room. An office off the hallway can be hidden behind motorized bookcases that pocket into the walls. The second floor features another office that doubles as a guest room with a bed that pulls out of the wall. The basement includes a theater room, full bath and ample storage. All three floors are connected by a stair and an elevator. Other unique features include a dog-washing station and a fenced-in cat patio for this family of pet lovers. The porte-cochere conceals an auto court for the 6-car garage and a side entry.

This home was featured in the 2009 Dream Homes issue of Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine and was also on their annual Palette of Homes Tour.
