**★★★★★ — mike sharp, Jan. 2022**

> We recently completed a full remodel of a midcentury modern home in Normandy Park. Thomas was the architect we chose. Working with Thomas was fun and informative. He does enjoy his work.
>
> Responsibilities were laid out clearly in the beginning and all drawings and information were provided in a timely manner. Thomas offered some new features to our build and we had our say in all design design decisions. The end result is clean, modern and open; our dream home.

**★★★★★ — Model Remodel, Aug. 2015**

> Model Remodel recently finished a whole-house project with BAAN Design on Camano Island. Thomas Isarankura was flexible, accommodating, easy to work with, a good communicator, and on top of that, he had a sense of humor. His designs are beautiful. We would work with him again without hesitation.

## Community Q&A

**Q: what is the railing on the exterior balcony,  really nice job!!!!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Powder coated, metal railing with 1-1/2&quot;x3/4&quot; flatbar frame and horizontal metal rods.

**Q: please tell me what you made or bought to put next to tub on wall?** *(in Photo Questions)*

we are doing modern design but they don't want to do a niche and yet i need something to have toiletries near is this a hidden cabinet or ledge?

A: what you see adjacent to the tub is a window

**Q: who is the supplier?  What's the metal finish?  what is metal thicknes** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This is a custom design and fabrication.  The steel is cold rolled and, if I remember correctly, it's about 1/8&quot; thick.  The finish is blackened using instablak 333

**Q: Horizontal crosspieces in shed** *(in Photo Questions)*

What dimensions are these?  Are they available in recycled plastic?

A: 2x2 cedar.  I don't know if they are available in recycled plastic

**Q: pendants** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you please tell us who makes the pendant lights?

A: bruck lighting.

**Q: I live in Georgia (Tbilisi)** *(in Photo Questions)*

I would like to install a similar modern, square frame around my fireplace . Would love to know what products were used. I am looking in the metal shops but nobody can offer me this finish. Can you describe the quality of the material; If is it heated?
Thanks so much.

A: This is a custom made fireplace surround.  Contact Jack Kearney at company K- http://companyk.com/ . This is the company that fabricated the fireplace surround.  We used cold rolled steel and a blackening agent.  You'll have to ask Jack about the product and the application.  The finishing process is a real art/craft, I doubt he'll be able to give you a detailed spec.  I would recommending contacting  metal fabricator specialized in architectural metal works.
