Nestled along the crest of a 130-acre mountain ridge in the Napa Valley, sits an elegant, but casual, “camp-chic” estate. The expansive property contrasts layered modernity with a Spartan placidity—intelligently connecting the dwelling’s arrestingly detailed interiors with the lowland’s rugged surroundings.
Soaring above the water’s edge and overlooking New York Harbor, 1 Seaport is the first all-glass residential tower to be built in New York’s most historic neighborhood. Water and sea inform all aspects of the design, from the façade’s subtly tinted glass to the overarching theme of the interiors.
A cold, austere house was transformed into a warm and comfortable home for a sprawling family that focusses on their many passions: entertaining, the outdoors, and a variety of artistic inclinations, including; song, dance and musical instruments—along with painting and drawing, to name a few.
Giants of design have been assembled to create the largest and most comprehensive waterfront residential development project on the Upper West Side that transcends expectations. With over five acres of lush greenspace, 100,000 square feet of unparalleled amenities, and an array of restaurants and retail venues – Waterline Square is the new standard of extraordinary living.
Groves & Co. leads the interior design of Three Waterline Square; a shimmering structure of angled glass, designed by renowned Architect Rafael Viñoly. The 36-story building accommodates 214 units with soaring views of the surrounding parks, river and city skyline.
An internationally renowned fashion designer turned to Groves & Co. to assist with their sprawling New York City Penthouse, marking the fifth project the client and firm have completed together.
The discerning clients desired a casual formality; “that tug-of-war between practicality and indulgence, comfort and rigor” – a tall task, but one perfectly achieved through the deft use of restrained detail and rich materials, that provide the space with a lush warm feel.
Set in lovely Sag Harbor, which maintains the bucolic feeling of a New England seafaring community, this new home is nestled in one of the town’s most desired locations: tucked behind the high shrubs of a lazy street in the heart of the village, the house sits upon the banks of the Upper Sag Harbor Cove, with coveted views of water and sky.
This decidedly bold, yet simultaneously restrained, the home was tailor-made for a jet-setting fashion designer.
Situated on a copious site steps from the ocean, the long, low slung house is set parallel to the water’s edge, taking advantage of the breathtaking panorama and providing spectacular views from every room of the house. Lushly landscaped to provide both privacy and an almost sub-tropic, primitive bent, the setting is both calm and opulent.
Taking thoughtful cues from the client’s travels to various locales such as Big Sur and Parrot Cay, the compound recalls a relaxed lifestyle, while upholding a refined elegance.
