" class="photo-50" /> Below a 1940s French lantern , a burl- wood table anchors the light-filled entryway. Suzanne painted the baseboards a dark charcoal to define the architectural space. S uzanne Kasler was happily settled in her home in Atlanta, where she had lived since moving with her husband and daughter from the Midwest in 1995. Until a few years ago, that is. That’s when the acclaimed interior designer —known for creating architecturally focused interiors with a strong European sensibility—found herself itching for a change. “I was restless,” Suzanne says. The decorating was done, meaning no more opportunities to experiment, to rearrange, to create. And so the search began for a new blank canvas. After several years of house-hunting came up short, Suzanne took a second look at a 1930s Federal-style h...

Bill and Louri Larash's decision to downsize a little more than a year ago was not a rash one – but it happened quickly. The couple, who married Aug. 11, 1984, raised their two daughters in a four bedroom home on Plum Creek in the Arden on the Severn community of Crownsville. It was encircled with lush gardens of Louri's design.　 Their daughter Danielle, an architect, married Mike Peters . Cosette, now 25, spent a year on a tropical island and was moving back home . She missed four seasons. "We used to keep our powerboat and Captain Two , our sailboat, at a pier in Eastport," said Louri, explaining her familiarity with the waterfront areas around Annapolis. "We didn't need a big house anymore ." Bill is a partner with West Street-based accounting firm Novotny Larash & Venters PA.　 Louri, a horticulturalist and landscape designer, owns L&M Residential Services. A Crofton native, Louri met Bill , who grew up in College Park, at their college: Unive...

Compact and spacious at the same time, the Houston is as economical to build as it is to heat. It’s a fairly traditional plan , with bedrooms upstairs and family living spaces on the ground floor. The front facade is totally symmetrical. At center, classic columns support a balcony that doubles as a covered front porch . Tile crowns the hip roof while shutters add a dash of color. Casual living areas are at the rear, formal spaces up front. The family room, nook and kitchen are bright and entirely open. There are no barriers here to block conversation or movement. A large bay window , ideal for a wide window seat , expands the family room. Sliders in the nook open onto a large and sunny screened porch . The U-shaped kitchen has plenty of counter and cupboard space, including lazy Susan shelving that allows full use of the corner cabinets. Utilities are close at hand, in a pass-through to the garage. Dishwasher, range and oven are all built in. A small wet bar, nestled in the alcove...
