Welcome LETTER

FROM THE PUBLISHER

LUXURY HOMES. I love to go to Washington if only to be near my money.

Exquisitely Crafted.

Bob Hope Staring in amazement at the sea of traffic in front of me, I wondered what I had done… I never attend either of the home remodeling shows on a weekend. My plan was to visit on Friday and beat the rush. By mid afternoon I realized that I wouldn’t have enough time for a complete walkthrough and convinced myself that going on Saturday would be OK. After all, every time that I watch the news, listen to the radio or read the newspaper, the sky is falling. How busy could it possibly be this year? I phoned Jen from the tenth of many dead stops in traffic and gave her an update. The traffic jam started on Rt 237 in front of Hopkins and continued to the ticket booths of the I-X Center. It took me less time to get from Chagrin Falls to Hopkins, than it took for me to get from Hopkins to the I-X Center. Jen encouraged me to hang in there. My frustration was soon abated while listening to the news droning about economic doom. Gazing at the traffic heading to a “Home Remodeling Show” revealed more accurate news… Yes, it’s rougher out there. Yet here are thousands of people waiting to pay 8 bucks to park at a home remodeling show that’s charging 13 more bucks for every soul in that car to do what? They were all paying good money to walk around and look at home improvement ideas! The good news is that there is still activity out there as people look to improve their homes and comfort. As we move through summer, high quality projects abound. In this issue of Hometrends, we visit a remodeled lakefront townhome in Bratenahl, a new home’s kitchen in Novelty with a smart use of “green” techniques and an amazing family retreat in Hunting Valley. Thanks for having us into your homes and keep those emails and letters coming. Be your own “stimulus package” and have fun with your next project! Warm Regards,

Pete and Jennifer Moissis and the trends-savvy staff at Hometrends

Has Beauty Purpose for Young Family

by Melissa Lefelar

Ramneek and Amardeep Chauhan are a young Geauga County couple that knew exactly what they wanted when they built their dream house in Novelty – a large contemporary with cutting edge design elements that would teach their children some important life lessons and work with their busy lifestyle. “As much as anything, we wanted to incorporate green elements to reinforce the importance of being responsible to the environment to our children,” said Dr. Amardeep Chauhan, a physician who practices at Precision Orthopedics Specialty in Chardon. “The schools do a tremendous job of making the kids aware of the environmental issues we face globally. Carrying this through at home wherever possible helps reinforce what they are learning.” The design of the home’s kitchen reflects this responsible attitude. Payne & Payne Builders used several “green” construction elements throughout the entire home, including heated floors, advanced air filtering systems, top-ofthe-line insulation and non-toxic paint.

Not a care… Private “Country Club” encourages guests to

relax and reflect

We all want our home to be a sanctuary, a place where the world falls away and we can recharge, an environment of peace and solitude. We also want to entertain; to be a center of our personal culture, a place where the notables in our life gather and thrive. However, melding these two functions harmoniously can be difficult. One homeowner in Hunting Valley has hit just the right note, creating a retreat that embraces rest and relaxation, as well as an active lifestyle with friends and family.

Building TRENDS

by Melissa Lefelar Moving from a two-bedroom apartment in bustling Manhattan, the city that never sleeps, to a Cape Cod style townhouse on the shores of Lake Erie is a transition that few homeowners make. But a local executive did just that, and the home that he has created combines both his old, metropolitan world with his new, quieter life in Bratenahl. When the homeowner came here to work as Executive Vice President and General Counsel for a large downtown company, he knew he wanted to live near the water. He looked on both sides of town, but didn’t find what he was looking for until he discovered a two-bedroom end unit at Bratenahl’s Shoreby Club. He loved the lakefront location and the activities at the nearby clubhouse, but knew the home needed a renovation to fit with his lifestyle. His real estate agent put him in contact with Trac (pronounced “Trace”) Papish, Principal and Senior Designer of Associated Designs in Cleveland Heights, and the two worked closely for the six months it took to complete the project. Even the former owners were anxious to see what the two would come up with. “They were very excited to see what we were going to do,” said Papish. “Most people, when selling their home, are offended that you want to change it, but they weren’t.”

If you really look at the furniture and upholstery, nothing is matchy-matchy-matchy. That was the whole purpose of this.We didn’t want it to look like we walked into a furniture store and bought it.We wanted it to look like it was collected on his travels.

he former owners favored a nautical theme, which Papish said was very appropriate to the setting, but didn’t fit the tastes of his client. To create what he refers to as a “first floor apartment” feel, most of the home was gutted and reconfigured.

first floor is only about 1100 square feet, it appears larger. “In New York, I had more of a traditional apartment,” the homeowner said. “I wanted this to have a bit more of a mixture of some of my older antiques with the new, to create a clean, new feel to it.”

Papish knew that the owner’s previous address would influence the way he designed the space. “We wanted to create an open floor plan for him, so that the space was useable and functional. That’s why we have things like the glass handrails, so there aren’t a lot of barriers,” said Papish. The openness also creates an illusion of more space; though the

This attention to design goes all the way down to the new custom moldings and baseboards, with hidden electrical outlets. “He has all of these beautiful pieces. He wanted cleaner lines, so we took away the curve of the more traditional (baseboards) and added more of a block, which is more transitional,” said Papish.

HOMETRENDSMAG.com 53

The homeowner spends the majority of his time on the first floor, in the living room, kitchen and outside deck. Papish worked to make that area flow, whether the owner was enjoying a night at home by himself or entertaining his employees with a summer cocktail party. “The key is to get people through it, to get people out on to the deck. So the island is placed at a vertical alignment instead of horizontal so there are no barriers,” Papish said. The guests are drawn to the deck with a commanding view of the club’s boat slips and the lake beyond, and also the placement of the bar next to the French doors. Papish also created intimate seating pockets throughout the first floor, so that the homeowner and his guests felt more comfortable within the expansive area. The furnishings reflect the mixing of old and new, as well as the owner’s world travels. “I lived for four years in Brussels. I picked

up some things there, some artwork and furniture, also in Paris and other European cities,” he said. In front of the granite-surround fireplace sits a Louis XVI sofa he purchased in Atlanta and a marble and mahogany coffee table from Belgium. Two new salon chairs from the Thomas Pheasant Collection and upholstered in a tan and navy leaf print complete the seating area. An 1890 Biedermeier commode sits behind the sofa and displays more artwork. A 19th century oil painting of the Belgian coast, the owner’s favorite piece, rests above the floating mantle. Special lighting on dimmers is used to enhance the important artwork throughout the home. A round, Barbara Barry dining table with six Thomas Pheasant salon chairs fills the circular dining space.

leather on the backs. The quarter sawn oak floors are stained tobacco, fitting the metropolitan flavor and also accentuating the beauty of the furniture. While walking through the space, you are constantly reminded of the nearby lake and peaceful surroundings. Papish said that isn’t by accident. He used a total of nine hues to create a custom, soothing color throughout the home, which works to draw the eye outside. “We used this tone because it’s more soothing from the outside to the inside. So you have this pale beige/ yellow tone, but it brings the green and the blue out. It actually brings the lake and the land inside,” he said. It gives it a very rich, vintage 1940’s feel. And it also makes the furniture rise up.

The new kitchen would fit in the home of a Michael Symon, with top-of-the-line appliances and plenty of work space. The homeowner said he is no Iron Chef, but still wanted the best kitchen possible. “I cook

when there are people coming over, but for myself, I’m pretty lazy,” he said. There is a juxtaposition of light and dark in the custom cabinetry, designed by Associated Designs. The cabinets are a combination of tiger maple and ebony-stained maple. There is ample storage space throughout the kitchen, including under the 5-burner Wolf cook top for pots and pans and beside the stainless range hood for spices and cooking oils. The focus of the right-side wall is the SubZero, glass-doored refrigerator. Its clean lines and striking design make it stand out from your typical refrigerator freezer. And its stainless steel material led to another atypical choice. “We just did the whole wall in stainless for an industrial look,” said Papish. Two kinds of granite were used in the kitchen: Antique Brown for the area surrounding the sink (though it really appears bluish-black in color) and for the fireplace surround. Persia, in shades of brown and tan top the elevated island and the living room bar. The backsplash

is Italian Honey Onyx quartz and again carries into the bar area. “It has depth to it and is beautiful. Instead of using your typical subway tile, which is popular now, we picked something else, which works very well,” said Papish. A 27-inch flat screen television is mounted on a raised swivel arm, which makes it visible no matter where you are on the first floor. All three of the home’s flat screens are connected to the whole-house sound system.

The master suite is reached by going through a short hallway off the living area. To the right is a petite powder room painted a soothing green color. Art abounds even in

this small space with a pair of 19th century Galien-Laloue oils: one in the water closet and one in the adjacent alcove. The bedroom has all new furnishings. A king-size bed from Donghia, featuring a beige satiny headboard and crisp, white linens, anchors the room. Modern side tables with lamps provide light, along with a clever use of recessed lighting with dimmers for couples whose bedtimes don’t mesh. “You can read without bothering the other person, so (when your light is on) there’s no light on the other side of the bed,” says Papish. The room is compact, but it feels bigger because of a turreted seating area that looks onto the boat dock.

Two Donghia salon chairs in a Nancy Corzine fabric frame the view, along with an Empire, marble-topped table. The owner’s collection of glass paper weights from around the world is displayed below in a glass bowl. Papish maximized the storage space with a corner, ceiling height cabinet that holds the owner’s stereo and other electronic equipment. A 32” flat screen on a swivel arm is viewable from the bed or the seating area. A floating single wooden shelf is just below the TV and runs the length of the wall, offering a handy surface that would otherwise be the top of a dresser for keys and pocket change. An all-cherry open closet sits between the master bedroom and bath. The same crown detail used throughout the house is evident, even in this private space. Two mirrored dressing doors, plenty of hanging space and deep shelves maximize the available square footage. The bathroom is an oasis, dominated by a rectangular soaking tub with Carrera marble surround. The same marble is floated on the walls for towel storage and used on the countertop. Double porcelain undermount sinks by Barbara Barry, a green glass walk-in shower and backsplash and black granite floor complete the look. The same tiger maple custom cabinets that are found in the kitchen provide stylish storage for toiletries and grooming products. Two large vanities, with fog-proof mirrors, open towards each other revealing otherwise hidden space for daily use items.

The upstairs posed an interesting challenge, as one of the best views of the lake was lost to an open space above the home’s foyer. Papish cantilevered a new floor over that space, making it usable as a seating area and giving the homeowner one more place to enjoy Lake Erie. In addition to four club chairs, a telescope has pride of place for stargazing on clear nights. After removing an existing closet and wall, the new space was combined with an old bedroom as the new media room.

A 42-inch flat screen allows the homeowner and friends to watch movies. The built-in shelves along one wall hold books and more objects de art.
