This home was disjointed without any gathering space and a kitchen that was the size of the kitchenette in a camper with abnormally small appliances. For the new homeowner, we removed a non-loadbearing peninsula plus end wall then commandeered a laundry closet to open up the space allowing for an island and great room concept. Not large enough for a dining nook, we incorporated the kitchen dining into a table style island. No changes were made to the windows and doors, keeping the construction cost at a minimum.

Tucked away in the backwoods of Torch Lake, this home marries “rustic” with the sleek elegance of modern. The combination of wood, stone and metal textures embrace the charm of a classic farmhouse. Although this is not your average farmhouse. The home is outfitted with a high performing system that seamlessly works with the design and architecture. The tall ceilings and windows allow ample natural light into the main room. Spire Integrated Systems installed Lutron QS Wireless motorized shades paired with Hartmann & Forbes windowcovers to offer privacy and block harsh light. The custom 18′ windowcover’s woven natural fabric complements the organic esthetics of the room. The shades are artfully concealed in the millwork when not in use. Spire installed B&W in-ceiling speakers and Sonance invisible in-wall speakers to deliver ambient music that emanates throughout the space with no visual footprint. Spire also installed a Sonance Landscape Audio System so the homeowner can enjoy music outside. Each system is easily controlled using Savant. Spire personalized the settings to the homeowner’s preference making controlling the home efficient and convenient.

Bathroom - modern bathroom idea in Miami

This Cedarfield project consisted of siding and window replacement. All of their windows were replaced with new Simonton windows, but the home’s original exterior consisted of Masonite siding and needed to be replaced as well. This type of siding is made from wood fibers held together with glue or resin and often runs into problems like abnormal bulges or blistering, when the layers of compressed wood particles separate from within or general deterioration. As the Queen City’s qualified installation company for a full array of James Hardie products, these homeowner’s contacted Belk Builders to replace their siding with HardiePlank – which offers maximum durability, resistance to prolonged exposure to moisture contact, a long-lasting low-maintenance finish and a 15-year limited warranty to protect against peeling, cracking and chipping. We primed and painted it in the color choice of the homeowner for a stunning finish.

Timeless Palm Springs glamour meets modern in Pulp Design Studios' bathroom design created for the DXV Design Panel 2016. The design is one of four created by an elite group of celebrated designers for DXV's national ad campaign. Faced with the challenge of creating a beautiful space from nothing but an empty stage, Beth and Carolina paired mid-century touches with bursts of colors and organic patterns. The result is glamorous with touches of quirky fun -- the definition of splendid living.

A bar seating area, double oven and an open floor plan were at the top of the wish list for this family. The home’s layout abnormalities, including a center weight-bearing wall, presented a challenge but the team was able to take out a wall between the dining room and kitchen, tear out a closet and open everything up. The two-tier island hides the sink from the front door while keeping an open look. White cabinets in a sleek shaker style keep the room light and airy while the beautiful blue color on the island cabinets anchor the room. This transitional style cabinet was given a contemporary flair with brushed nickel rectangular knobs with a matching pull. The feathering and coloring of the California Moonlight subway backsplash from GST gave this kitchen a little something different. The herringbone design behind the stove is a slightly different patterned tile for a unique pop of pattern. The granite countertop in New River White with an eased edge tie it all together perfectly. The homeowner chose the beautiful eclectic light fixtures especially for the Edison bulbs. The kitchen flooring, a luxury vinyl plank was chosen for the durability and extended out to the rest of the open living space to create a continuous flow. The homeowners love their new kitchen which was completely designed for their needs and space utilizing every corner for maximum cabinet space and an open floor plan.
