Letter from the editor

“Day-to-day living has had to adapt dramatically with ‘stay at home’ directives, heralding a new era where our needs are fundamentally more homecentric.”

Changing our Living Spaces

T

he events in our lives over the last year have had a dramatic impact on all of us. For most of our lives, our homes have provided shelter from the elements and a place to share and make memories with family and friends. With the pandemic our homes were transformed into shelters, as the term “Shelter in Place” garnished a new reality for us all.

Our living spaces were never intended to be work spaces, education spaces, heath care centers or even spaces designed for sheltering for that matter. The events over the last year will transform our living spaces as a society more than at any other time in the last 50 years.

Last year we saw an incredible shift in the day-today operations of the world. Offices shuttered, daily commutes ended, and we tried to do it all from home. According to a study, 36.2 million Americans (22% of the workforce) will be working remotely by 2025, an 87% increase from 2019. The permanence from these events will change our lives forever, but more so change our homes and living spaces in the years ahead, redefining a new directive. Day-to-day living has had to adapt dramatically with ‘stay at home’ directives, heralding a new era where our needs are fundamentally more homecentric.

As new home builders shift quickly for the ever-changing market, they are adding more flex-

space to designs, outdoor living options, designs for multi-generational living, more antimicrobial surface materials and changing open floor plans to accommodate offices, libraries and personal spaces.

Mud rooms are taking center stage for more distinguishable boundaries between exterior and interior settings for cleanliness and sanitation. It is predicted that we will see less overall communicable disease because of new standards in cleanliness society wide.

With so many looking to do home improvements, DYI projects will grow to new heights as pre-pandemic shortage of building trade professionals was already an issue. Homeowners will focus on repurposing and expanding indoor living areas, expanding outdoor spaces and creating safer and more environmentally efficient homes.

Families will create better homes for living and make better use of space both inside and outside.

Necessity has once again become the mother of reinvention for us all. • All the Best,

Stone, The Original Green Building Material Stone was one of our first building materials on earth. It has been used to construct everything from humble dwellings to our most iconic structures. As a building material, stone requires virtually no manufacturing and is so durable that stone structures from thousands of years ago are still used today, characteristics few contemporary “green” products can equal.

This ancient building material may be more relevant than ever in today’s green building industry. In some areas, extensive lawns are giving way to rock-scaping to minimalize water usage and fertilizing cost. It is a trend that started in the southwest but has quickly gained popularity across the nation.

Hardscaping Your Home Hardscaping can include almost any type of decorative or practical structure in a landscape from driveways to fences to benches. Hardscape is a critical part of landscape design providing definition and a sense of organization to natural areas, pools, and water features. From patios to outdoor kitchens, living areas to retaining walls and sidewalks, careful planning will result in the grounds around your home working better to help your family enjoy the space. Benches, gazebos and garden paths will help guests feel relaxed and welcome. And the happy side-effect is that these features will require little-to-no maintenance and may actually decrease the area that will have to be planted, trimmed and mowed. A well-planned

This gabled seaside home on Carpenter Road captures the magnificence of the location and embraces the ambiance of coastal living with spectacular pond and ocean views. The elaborate, yet simple traditional design expresses function, livability and a feeling of being connected with its beautiful coastal surroundings. Sweeping rooflines and wraparound porches with arched porticos create a timeless expression style and turn of the century coastal architecture. A simple, but masterful creation, built with living and entertaining in mind that communicates a clear message to relax and unwind.

This home design has over 6500 square feet of living space on three levels with accessibility through staircases as well as a basement to top level elevator. There are 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and a fully finished basement level for additional living space. Southeast views out over ponds and Block Island Sound offer a bright expressive connection from most rooms.

Upon entrance to the first level, you are met with an open expansive living area connecting the formal living to the curved bowed window dining area and an expansive gallery kitchen with a fireplace and state-of-the-art food preparation and storage systems. The hardwood flooring and soft white walls and appointments draw in the views from walls of windows and French doors leading out to an expansive patio and porch area. The rear porch leads out to the outdoor inground pool and hot tub and hardscaped pergola-covered outdoor kitchen for entertaining. Also on the first level are 3 large bedrooms, 2 full baths and an oversized mudlaundry room that connects to the 3 garages.

LAKE LIVING big sandy pond

A OnPrivate Paradise Big Sandy Pond, Plymouth, MA

POND FRONT LIVING IS VERY SPECIAL, over 200 years ago Seth Thomas said, “let the trees be my fences and the water be my view of the world, there I can sustain my sanity and my life as well.” There’s something so peaceful about living along the water. In fact, living near the water has even been proven to make people healthier!

Communities that form around ponds and lakes are also extremely unique, and you and your neighbors will have a lot of shared interests - that likely revolve around the body of water in your backyards.

Just about 40 miles from Boston and literally minutes off Cape Cod makes this location a perfect escape or even a better year-round place to live.

Big Sandy Pond, also known simply as Sandy Pond, is a 149-acre Great Pond with an average depth of 18 feet and a maximum depth of 39 feet. The water is relatively infertile, and clear with a transparency of 16 feet. Vegetation is scant over a bottom composed of sand and rock rubble. There are just under two miles of shoreline, but almost all of it has been developed with summer cottages and year- round homes. The following fish species were found during recent Mass Wildlife survey, Yellow Perch, Pumpkinseed, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, Golden Shiner, Banded Killifish, and White Sucker. Big Sandy Pond is managed as a stocked trout pond and is annually stocked in the spring and fall with Brook, Brown and Rainbow Trout.

It is quintessentially small town living with larger city perks. At more than 100 feet above sea level, Ocala has more protection from hurricanes and coastal flooding. Located just about as central as you can get in the state makes it convenient to almost anywhere in Florida. In the last decade, Ocala has quietly become one of the top retirement destinations in the country for those wanting a simpler, yet all-inclusive lifestyle with far less traffic and a more sprawling country feel.

It is surrounded by state and federal parks such as Ocala National Forest that stretches over almost 700 square miles and features plenty of hiking trails and bubbling springs where you can swim and canoe.

Thinking of moving to Florida, Central Florida is a great place to live! Florida’s beautiful beaches are less than a 2-hour drive to the east or west coast. Our central location protects us from direct hits from hurricanes, and as a native Floridian, I understand how important this is. No state tax, nature-lovers paradise, white-sandy beaches close by, and so much more!

The Preserve is set alongside the busy I-95 corridor in a private enclave that few Rhode Islanders know exists. It is located just 25 minutes from Providence, an hour from Boston, and 2.5 hours from NYC. The club is only 20 minutes from 3 commercial airports and has on-site landing area for helicopters, the West Kingston AMTRAK line is just 6 miles away. The Preserve is a draw for many out-of-state member owners that now happily call Rhode Island their home. Upon entering the facility there is no doubt that this place and the member experience is very unique, very special and redefines the term inclusive in private community living. Private residences available at The Preserve include Elegant Townhomes offerings with gourmet kitchens, vaulted ceilings, in-home elevators, and integrated garages.
