casual and inviting, yet

refined—that’s how

interior designer tammy

connor describes the living area

she created at our Idea House. like

readers’ favorite getaways, “it’s

a space where you immediately

feel comfortable kicking off your

shoes,” she says. taking a cue

from the coastal setting, tammy

chose a muted palette of ocean

blues and greens, then washed the

cypress walls with a soft khaki.

“We drew inspiration from the

area’s natural beauty—the water

and the wetlands,” says the

alabama-based designer. cheryl

Hackett-galvin constructed the

Roman shades and draperies here

from recycled sailcloth. the hand-

sewn material adds history and

visual interest. “every sail has a

story to tell, and no two are alike,”

says the Rhode Island designer.

accents for instant impact. Here, she

boldly chose an oversize hanging

lantern to illuminate the intimate

space. Its size and proportion create

a simple yet graphic look.

Informal meets formal in the dining area, where a pair of casual settees

provides contrast to the more-traditional upholstered slipper chairs.

the settees’ generous dimensions balance the visual weight of the

7-foot table, custom-made for the space from salvaged red oak.

above the table, a wrought-iron lantern makes a dramatic statement.

“Introducing a hanging element brings a third dimension into a room,”

tammy says. “It completes the space.”

anyone who loves to cook—or eat—will fall for this state-of-

the-art kitchen. With a stainless steel sink and honed-marble

countertop, the generous island offers plenty of space for food

preparation or a buffet-style setup. open shelving and colorful cookware

recall the kitchens found in historic coastal homes. the design team even

customized the space with a punched-tin overlay concealing the fridge

(see page 63). “people always congregate in the kitchen,” tammy says.

“that’s why we made it one of the most inviting rooms in the house.”

It’s a community designed for both pleasure and

convenience, a place to share coastal memories for

generations to come,” says River Dunes developer

ed Mitchell. “out your front door, you’ve got the

harbor, and out back you have endless views and

opportunities for recreation on the big water of

pamlico sound. You can slip out after dinner, go

fishing, and return home in time for a nightcap.”

anchored by the largest protected inland marina

between Florida and the chesapeake Bay, River Dunes

has preserved the area’s bountiful natural resources.

“We have maintained existing vegetation and land-

scaped with indigenous plants,” says landscape architect

and community planner Bill lincicome. “there’s an

absolute commitment to the native species. everything

reflects the environment of coastal north carolina.”

though the community is still under construction,

ed envisions exciting programs for residents. there

will be sailing, fly-fishing, and angling workshops for

owners and guests, and facilities for painting classes.

canoe and kayak clubs will welcome both novices

and experts. Hikers will enjoy miles of nature trails.

When completed, River Dunes will contain more

than 600 single-family homes, plus additional living

accommodations. Bikes and carts will be the primary

means of transport. the town center will include a post

office, coffee shop, bakery, and an ice cream parlor. a

built to last builders James adams Jr., scott gurganus, and

lee Johnson of Watermark Homes partnered

with local contractors and artisans to create a

home with superior craftsmanship. “From a residential

standpoint, this house represents the highest level of

construction available today,” says co-owner James

adams. the house is fully custom, from the cabinetry

and built-ins to the staircase, paneling, and molding.

roof The builders chose a standing-seam product from Metal Roofing Alliance because it promises a life span of 40 to 60 years (twice the term of a regular roof). Metal roofing withstands gusts of up to 140 mph, which can occur in coastal areas. Made partially from recycled materials, these roofs are an environmentally conscious choice, as well.

s iding “James Hardie HardiePlank is absolutely superior in its industry,” says James Adams. “Not only is it designed to last, but it’s also available in about 50 different prefinished colors, eliminating the need to paint. Even though it’s a resilient composite product, it looks and feels like wood.”

WaTermarK Homes: (left to right) James Adams Jr., owner; Scott Gurganus, owner; Lee Johnson, superintendent

“at this level, your framer must also be a trim carpen-

ter, your trim carpenter should be able to build custom

cabinetry, and your cabinet-maker needs the expertise

to craft pianos,” says co-owner scott gurganus. the

team worked especially hard to find environmentally

sensitive building products that need little maintenance.

hvac The builders chose a Signature Series heating and cooling unit from Lennox Industries. With full-scale climate control and a touch-pad thermostat, the quiet unit provides both comfort and ease. It’s fuel-efficient and saves hundreds of dollars annually on heating and cooling bills.

t r im AZEK trim materials maintain the qualities of real wood without the drawbacks. The PVC-based product has all of the density of white pine. Easily milled, it resists warping and rotting, and it doesn’t have to be painted (see pages 80 and 100).

i i s An AMX integrated information system with low-voltage wiring provides the most up-to-date technology. “It’s a smart house—about 10 years ahead of its time,” Scott says. Fully integrated with touch-panel control, the system operates the house both inside and out.

lock system An electronic Schlage touch-pad lock means homeowners receive the highest level of security while allowing access for those who wish to leave their keys behind.

centra l vacuum The house contains a powerful central-vacuum system from NuTone, which provides clean, mold-free air. The vacuum services the entire house from one location, eliminating the chore of lugging a heavy vacuum cleaner between floors. The unit’s internal sound system makes it virtually noise-free.

s ink The sink’s the hub of activity in our Idea House kitchen, so we chose a low-maintenance Franke EuroPro sink in tough stainless steel.

countertops With the performance benefits of a nonporous material, the Cambria quartz surfaces in the guest bath and third-floor wet bar are stain-resistant and twice as strong as granite.
