You have to know by now that I love Shingle style architecture. I came across this architect while looking for some shingle style details. I found a new home designed by Alisberg Parker Architects and Interior Design of Old Greenwich, CT. When I looked at the photos of the interior I was quite surprised by what they revealed. I didn’t expect it because the house is located in Greenwich, CT, which is on Long Island Sound, and one simply expects a shingle house near the ocean to have some nautical influence. I would liken this unexpected interior design to finding a Dutch windmill inside the Eiffel Tower. But not only was I surprised, I was delighted. This interior pulsates with personality and elegance with touches of rustic throughout. It is about color, warmth and texture. It looks like many items were lovingly collected by the owners, reflecting their personality, then in a beautifully curated interior design, a home results that is fun, cozy yet luxurious.
That completes the tour of this home. I wish there was more. I would have loved to see the kitchen.
Below are a couple of other houses and interiors designed by the same firm. Such wonderful attention to details I wanted to include them here. The one immediately below is in Old Greenwich, CT, and a beautiful example of a Center Hall Colonial.
This home is a Georgian Colonial and is located in Harrison, NY
Well, I thank you again my lovely readers, for stopping by. It has been in the mid 90’s, humid with thunderstorms every day so garden activity has been quelled a bit. Can’t wait to show you the new garden spaces. Laters, charisse
I love the Newport/Hamptons/Robert Stern type of architecture, too. Charisse I love the homes you showcase to show us…still swooning over the Brooklyn penthouse….and this one is just stunning. Thanks for sharing these jewels with us…
I am so happy to get this feedback. It helps me in my choices for sharing what my readers enjoy seeing. I will soon be posting on Robert Stern. I have blueprints for a house he designed, a modern Cape Cod that I wanted to build, and have loved so many of the homes he has designed. This house just shows so well how to mix it up a bit.

Oh such fond memories!! That is a must for our summer fun this year. I know the croquet sets are still available in stores!! I want one! We must wear white. 🙂

Quite impressive!! Love the stone work and chess set with picket fence outside on the first home. Also the stone bridge entrance.
Nice tennis lawn as well. For me it would be bocci ball.
Thanks Charisse!

I haven’t played bocci ball for a long time. Wouldn’t mind having a bocci plying area. As kids we played croquet a lot, and wouldn’t mind having an area to do that either. We used to play against our parents and “send” their balls as far as we could. Take that Mom and Dad and they would just laugh and laugh. At my friend Joan’s neighbors house we used to play with her brothers, and they more often than not delighted in sending Joan’s or my croquet ball to the moon! Do kids today even know the game? Probably play it virtually! lol
