“If you didn’t know the neighborhood, you would think this renovated house was the original.”

Read our story “Transforming a Century-Old Colonial,” written by Laurie Kaiser, which details the extensive renovations that transformed this historic home while preserving its original character.

“The floor plan integrates six interconnected bays with heated concrete floors covered in epoxy. The lower level includes a kitchen and powder room for entertaining, a storage room, and a mechanical space. Lofts are a timber frame’s signature architectural feature, and this one exudes bespoke, rustic luxury. It’s actually two spaces: a handsome sitting area and a capacious meditation room, divided by a barn door. A grand stairway of timbers, open risers, and iron balusters connects the two levels.”

Absolutely exquisite piece “What’s New Is Old” in the Twenty-Fifth Edition of DesignNY Magazine.

When opportunity knocks, Shop Dog Studio answers ⏲️☕️🕋💡👷🏻‍♀️

Check out our story “Revitalizing A Historic Home” to see more of a 480-square-foot addition that allowed for a larger kitchen, relocation of the mudroom, and addition of a laundry room and three-piece bathroom on the first floor.

“A disturbance in the typically calm water caught his attention; air bubbles in a manner he had never seen before. He stopped to watch.

Soon, an otter’s head popped out of the water. River otters are an indicator species: they cannot tolerate pollution, habitat degradation, or other environmental stressors. George, an active outdoorsman, had never seen one in New York.

Even more astounding is that this particular otter appeared in a spot that, when George first purchased the property 22 years prior, had no bridge, no stream, and no water. That otter sighting marked a major milestone in George’s devotion to rewilding his land, a movement gaining momentum across the country among landowners and homeowners.”

Cool and creative is the vibe at this hillside home on Canandaigua Lake, where outdoor living is celebrated and waterfront views are treasured year-round.

A perfect morning starts with a view, a cup of coffee, and a little design inspiration ☕️🛥️📖

At DesignNY Magazine, we believe inspiration isn’t confined to beautifully designed homes, it’s everywhere. It’s in the places you travel, the architecture you admire, the waterfront views that make you pause, and the everyday moments that remind you to notice the beauty around you. We hope every issue encourages you to see your surroundings with fresh eyes and inspires you to create spaces that feel just as meaningful.

Grand is a fitting description for this 4,505-square-foot house. Each evening, rich, gilded light pours into the home’s western window walls, drenching the monumental, white-on-white great room with a luminous, honeyed glow.
