If the kitchen is the heart of the home, this one was far from inviting. The new owners wanted to make all the rooms in their newly acquired Victorian house brighter and more functional and the kitchen was the first to be designed. We proposed a new layout which included an eat-at island and lots of space for the cook of the family. Him! We designed the space to give our clients everything on their wish list, including a wall oven which was installed in the storage space in adjacent laundry room. The beautiful blue backsplash tiles make this kitchen not just another white kitchen and the dark soapstone counters add so much personality. The existing brick wall is a nice nod to the history of the home and raising the ceiling slightly makes a big difference (thin LED pot lights were just the trick).

The Owners approached their new project with the thought that it should be a quiet addition, have an appropriate scale, and use the same architectural language as the existing house. What the Owners wanted was a more functional family space for their older children and needed a large kitchen and back entry for this original Myers Park home. The new family room would need to include the antique wood paneling the Owners had acquired. The new kitchen would need to incorporate antique wood beams, a large family table and access to a new pool deck. The back entry would need to have a place for sports bags, coats and charging station. A new landscape plan would be provided which would have a new pool requiring a renovation of an existing guest house.

Ligne Roset Amedee www.Softsquare.com Amédée is a sofa and armchair combination, designed around a lumbar support which is quilted and stitched just like the bucket seats of the finest Italian automobiles. The armchair is available with swiveling base, and a footstool is offered for when it's time to relax. Chic, urban and thus compact, this family of seating acquires undeniable luxury object status when upholstered in the new full grain, pure aniline Orga leather, with its slightly smooth, glossy finish.

The design process (with the customer) took us through several options including using the closet as the space. Ultimately we decided to create the space ourselves using the existing recessed area (in the "mudroom" off the garage and leading to the kitchen). It's all made of either solid mahogany (African, my supplier said) or mahogany plywood. Altar top is a solid mahogany glued-up panel that I made. Hinges are just gold-colored from a big box store, but bells and door (and drawer) handles were acquired in India by customer's family. Decorative trim all came from one supplier in the Pacific northwest.

Acquiring a new house is an exciting occasion but often has many challenges. My clients came to me to help modernize and update their new home that clearly had not been touched since the 70s. For the kitchen, we removed the dated orange oak cabinetry, tile counter tops, and cracked terra cotta flooring. This enabled us to start from scratch so we could create a light, bright kitchen in the fog and forest colors of the coastal mountain region of the area. New appliances, hand-forged iron light fixtures, and a luxurious marble counter and backsplash elevate this kitchen while retaining a casual atmosphere. Photos by Bernardo Grijalva

After the first install at the client's home, upon our recommendation the client's acquired a new artist -- this wall above the sofa needed something spectacular to showcase their living room off and this artist and artwork more appropriately. The custom built floating glass shelf wall mounted e'tagere' allows the client's to show off their prized glass sculptures while bringing in some architectural detail to the room.

Foodshelf is the innovative response to contemporary home design solutions in which the kitchen and living area become more "fluid" and multifunctional and their characteristics tend to merge. Like a latest-generation bookshelf, the Foodshelf kitchen - in which the French designer’s creativity of genius and Scavolini’s vast experience combine to perfection - features a "new horizontal linearity". It is centered on a series of wood look shelves that run the entire kitchen and living area length, acquiring different functions at various points (worktop, strip underneath the base units, or as shelves fitted below and above the wall units.) This design concept also combines base and wall units of different colors, subdividing the kitchen into "graphic" blocks while retaining its modular structure. For creating innovative compositions, with unusual, attractive chromatic and architectural effects every time. #designerkitchenexperience #scavolinifoodshelf #creativity #designerkitchens #scavolinikitchens #madeinitaly #availableinkenya #custommade

Architect Matthew Coates’ award-winning “ReHOME: Resilience & Regeneration” project takes on two pressing social and environmental issues: the lack of affordable housing in cities throughout the United States, and the vast amount of waste produced during construction and demolition. This project won the prestigious 2022 AIA Seattle’s Award of Merit in “Research & Innovation” owing to its plan to save millions of dollars in resources while creating jobs that develop employable skills and constructing low-cost housing for diverse demographics. Through community engagement and volunteer work, future residents will benefit from the housing while learning skills of construction and management. The vision is to then introduce volunteers to industries wherein they might acquire future employment. This project introduces innovations not yet utilized in efforts to increase the inventory of affordable housing.

A great room is about texture, color, and most importantly accessories that make a client's house a home. Acquired trinkets, art, family photos, or souvenirs from travels across the world. Lila Ray understands the importance of your life, sharing it, and placing accessories to enhance those little nostalgic objects.
