A stone and shingle facade and graceful lines highlight this expansive single-level home Craftsman home plan. Custom details can be found throughout the plan with elegant ceiling treatments in many rooms and built-in cabinetry flanking the great room fireplace. The chef's kitchen opens to the large dining area and to the great room, providing a focal point for family life and entertaining. One wing houses secondary bedrooms and utility space, helping to keep clutter out the formal living areas. The bedrooms each have a tray ceiling and their own walk-in closet. Just off the garage lies a utility room with ample workspace, a large pantry, and convenient e-space. The oversized bonus room provides flexibility and access to plenty of attic storage. The opposite wing of the home plan is devoted to a roomy master suite with an attached sitting area to the rear. The suite accesses the rear porch and includes two large walk-in closets. The highlight of the stunning master bath is the unique barrel-vaulted ceiling over the garden tub. Dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and private privy complete the suite.

In Denver’s Platt Park neighborhood, this project reimagines a 1950s single-story bungalow into a warm, modern two-story home. The design includes a 1,300 sq. ft. second-story “pop-top” and a 300 sq. ft. rear addition to create more functional and connected living spaces. On the main level, selective wall removals improved flow, and a new walk-in pantry was added. The rear addition houses a bright and inviting family room with easy access to the backyard. The new second story features a spacious primary suite with a private en-suite bath, two additional bedrooms, a shared hallway bathroom, and a conveniently located laundry room. The exterior blends vertical wood cladding, board-and-batten siding, and painted brick to create a warm modern aesthetic. Large black-framed windows bring in generous natural light, while the material palette adds both texture and inviting character to the home’s renewed presence in the neighborhood.

These Auckland homeowners wanted an industrial style look for their interior home design. So when it came to building the staircase, handrail and balustrades, we knew the exposed steel in a matte black was going to be the right look for them. ​ Due to the double stringers and concrete treads, this style of staircase is extremely solid and has zero movement, massively reducing noise. Our biggest challenge on this project was that the double stringer staircase was designed with concrete treads that needed to be colour matched to the pre-existing floor.

Built by Schumacher Homes, America's Largest Custom Home Builder, this stunning Windsor Modern Farmhouse in Bowling Green, Ohio, masterfully blends timeless regional charm with elevated modern living. Spanning a thoughtfully detailed 3,383 square feet, the 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom floor plan emphasizes seamless spatial flow and effortless functionality. The heart of the home is an expansive, open-concept main level designed for both high-end entertaining and daily culinary pursuits. The chef-ready kitchen boasts generous counter space, an optional expansive "messy kitchen" that acts as a secondary prep zone to keep the main kitchen pristine. Flexibility is built into the architecture. A main-level flex room easily adapts to a sophisticated home office, while a private first-floor guest suite ensures comfort and seclusion for visitors. Upstairs, the owner’s retreat serves as a private sanctuary, featuring dual vanities, expansive separate walk-in closets, and discrete, direct access to the second-floor laundry suite.

What began as a cozy space for a pool table in the forests of northern Michigan evolved into an extraordinary two-story retreat. On the ground level, a spacious garage houses two pristine Porsches, while the second floor features a private glass bar accessed by bespoke glass stair treads. The stairs, crafted from fused glass with our Herma texture, combine elegance with a secure, anti-slip surface, offering uninterrupted beauty and unmatched durability. Each tread is supported by intricate metalwork featuring wolves—a nod to the client’s last name and a symbol of strength and individuality. The glass bar is a true statement piece, with a sandblasted wolf face on the front and LED-lit glass shelves that create a magical, moonlit glow. This man cave seamlessly blends luxury with nature, capturing the essence of a hidden retreat filled with elegance, personality, and craftsmanship. At ThinkGlass, we believe every project tells a story. This one is as powerful and unique as the wolf etched in glass, bringing the outdoors in with a rare and refined touch.
