From Julie July 24, 2009
For the past 20 years, James Gorst Architects has "focused on the intimate intricacies of the private house." The firm is especially adept at mixing old and new, combining past and present, and mixing materials such as oak and concrete in their highly crafted interiors. Visit James Gorst Architects to see more of their work.

The exterior with the reflecting pool is so ethereal it took my breath away. Gorgeous.
That bell jar light fixture over the table in image #4 is simple and beautiful. I would love to know who makes it.
Julie and Francesca, Hello from an old friend who is so impressed by Remodelista. I've been meaning to write to you for ages because I'm such a fan. I'm doing freelance writing and editing these days, and during a recent development project for Real Simple--in which I was part of a small group that came up with ideas for future stories and layouts--I turned everyone on to Remodelista, and we turned to it daily for inspiration. Congrats! Would love to catch up with you two. Margot margot718@gmail.com 718/208-7616
