Creating a forever home, especially one that is meant to serve as a cherished family legacy, requires a confident, timeless approach rooted in smart design and investment choices. Designing for generations means prioritizing longevity – in material durability and lasting aesthetic appeal. It’s the art of choosing what is always right.
To do that, our clients enlisted the talents of Taste, Alec Tesa, and Horan Building Company. We were fortunate to begin our interior design work before the original house was removed from the site, creating a well-coordinated team from the start.
As a result, thoughtful and custom elements could be included throughout the house. From the herringbone flooring at the entry, to the mahogany divided-light doors, to the marble, glass, and tile work in the master bathroom, this traditional shingle-style home delights at every turn. Our client’s commitment to long-term joy resulted in a mahogany-clad office for him, a sunny morning room for the family, and bedrooms and a playroom where future grandchildren will have space to run free.
For us, this project holds a place of pride in Taste’s design portfolio, made even more meaningful because of our heartfelt affection and respect for our clients.
Planning for now and the next 10+ years is so important when designing a forever home. When you plan ahead, you’re never left with questions of: Do we have enough space? Where will the grandchildren sleep? What will holidays look like? How do we intend to use our home? How do our children intend to use our home? Answering these questions to the best of your ability makes it easy to prioritize investments, ensuring you are making the right choices for now and for the future.
Know your budget. Being upfront and honest with your budget makes the design process that much more efficient – and cost effective.
We speak your language. People who are successful in business expect their projects to be managed just as their companies are managed – to the highest standards, and with consistent and accurate reporting on time and money. Our project planning tools answered that call for this client, as they do for the other busy executives who hire us. As a result, we were asked to work with this client again in their Florida home, as well as on their commercial property in Rhode Island.
