"To keep the interiors refined, rather than going for full-on chalet vibes, North Fork Builders installed exposed beams and cabinetry made of French and American oak, respectively. Operable doors and clerestory windows flood every room with natural light. Charles's palette tends toward rich tones-ochre in a bedroom with a built-in desk, shades of rose in a cabin suite, deep blue and leafy green in the guest barn's living room-and a variety of textures atypical of a mountain abode."
"However, because these guest buildings are intended for temporary stays, she took design leaps (like wallpaper in the bathroom) that she wouldn't necessarily advise for everyday use. For now, the homeowner and his family are enjoying them personally while Charles and the team begin to work on the main house. With time, Charles expects the guest houses' interiors will evolve-it's in her collector client's nature."
North Fork Builders used exposed beams and French and American oak cabinetry to create refined interiors that avoid full chalet clichés. Operable doors and clerestory windows maximize natural light in every room. The palette leans toward rich tones—ochre, rose, deep blue, and leafy green—and layers varied textures such as zellige tile, traditional patterned wallpapers, copper backsplash and countertop, dark stone floors, and jute rugs. The material mix bridges contemporary and vintage furniture while favoring finishes that are meant to look better with age. Guest buildings allow bolder, temporary design choices and are expected to evolve as the collector homeowner uses and rearranges furnishings.
