Updated Spec Home: Foyer and Great Room
In our last post, we introduced you to my mom and sister’s Updated Spec Home; the Foyer and Great Room will be featured in this post.
Foyer
As you enter their home, to the right is a hall closet and a french door which leads to the Basement. To the left is a long wall which was perfect for an extra long console table in a rustic finish that served as a sofa table in their previous home. I love repositioning furniture, and by using this table in the entry, it makes it feel new.
Additionally, we placed a vibrant piece of art previously used in my sister’s Bedroom above the table. This piece not only sets the tone for our color palette, it also makes the kind of statement you want in your Foyer – Wow! We added accessories and an unique lamp to complete the space.
Great Room
In the Great Room which is open to the Foyer, we installed our inspiration artwork in the place of honor over the mantel. Since the piece was vertical, it did not take up enough space. I do not like a “fussy” mantel with lots of accessories so we found these two vases in a silver leaf finish. They were perfect because they were large enough, but not too deep. Accessorizing mantels can be tricky because the majority of them are not deep. We went to Jan’s Floral Design to add vibrant color and interesting textures to the vases.
The original mantel was too small and uninspired. Therefore, we had our contractor Brad Anderson built a new one based on a photo of a mantel we liked. The new mantel has lots of great detail and is the appropriate proportion for the fireplace. We replaced beige 12×12 ceramic tiles with gorgeous large pieces of smoked carrara marble for a striking fireplace surround. Check out this other mantel that we updated.
For furniture, we purchased a shorter sofa in a gray tweed fabric. Typically, two throw pillows come with a sofa.We added a fun fringe to the pillows that came with the sofa. I recommend ordering pillows that match your sofa fabric and layering with custom pillows that support your color palette. We added a patterned custom pillow and a striped throw.
Next, we got a small scale recliner in a yummy gray leather for my mom and a chair and ottoman in a small scale mint and gray geometric pattern for my sister. We added an accent chair in a fun small scale stripe to fill a corner and add additional seating – which is always a good thing.
Remember that this was a Spec Home so there were no built-ins. As a result, we needed a media cabinet for the television and some bookcases to display my mom’s decorative box collection and my sister’s collection of blown colored glass. This set from Ballard Designs fit the bill perfectly. The back is open and airy with nice detail. The wood finish also adds a richness to the space.
My mom needed a space for her computer, and this small writing desk fit the space perfectly.
Finally, for finishing touches, we added a patterned rug, cornice boards in a mint leaf fabric, and great lamps for ambient lighting. These two rooms are stunning, vibrant and livable. Can’t wait to show you more in our next post! Enjoy!

Despite being situated on a slope, this yard maximizes its space effectively. A seating area featuring a fire pit offers panoramic views of the valley below, creating a captivating focal point. Additionally, the design incorporates a layered effect by situating the BBQ and grill area on the porch, which expands the dining space on the lower level. Every aspect of this design, from yard space utilization to planting design and entertainment areas, is carefully considered and integrated seamlessly.
Greentree Outdoor Living
The three distinct layers at this homeowner's front yard creates great flow and curb appeal for everyone passing by! It begins with wood mulch and modern, mountainous planting on the outside, then a curvilinear dry creek the runs through the front, and it ends with sod that is separated with a clean, granite edge. Dry creeks are a wonderful addition to any landscape due to its ability to manage water runoff and the unique aesthetic it brings to your yard! The rugged boulders finish off the rocky feel in the front.
In addition to the front, these homeowner's neighbours decided to join in on the fun to create a unified look on the side yard.
In the back, granite edging was also used to define the planting beds and the garden spaces to grow vegetables.
We can't wait for this yard to mature and fill in!

My House Design/Build Team | www.myhousedesignbuild.com | 604-694-6873 | Duy Nguyen Photography -------------------------------------------------------Right from the beginning it was evident that this Coquitlam Renovation was unique. It’s first impression was memorable as immediately after entering the front door, just past the dining table, there was a tree growing in the middle of home! Upon further inspection of the space it became apparent that this home had undergone several alterations during its lifetime... The kitchen was once a space that revealed the home’s layered history. It was evident there had been an addition as the dropped ceiling exposed where garage space had been captured to become part of the kitchen. By re-configuring the layout, we were able to create a gathering area at the peninsula, additional storage space, as well as add a hood fan – something the original space was lacking. Details like the Grand Canal paint colour from Sherwin Williams paired with the vertical grain walnut cabinets create a modern-vintage feel for this kitchen.

Heathmont, Maroondah Council
Summary
The key to this particular project was the
collaboration between Lateral Building Design
and the Owner/Builder to bring a sense of
uniqueness to a very individual design.
The house was designed as a series of
open spaces that flow and connect seamlessly throughout, creating a dwelling that is easy and enjoyable to live in. The generous proportions
are harmonious with the property’s natural
surroundings, and are further enhanced by
the detailed landscaping of outdoor spaces.
Quality finishes are used throughout with
premium fixtures, fittings and built in joinery.
The combination of flowing spaces and
layering of natural materials including timber,
stone and cement further accentuate the
feeling of open space and the elegant transition between outside and in.
With the client wanting to maximise the floor
area of the residence, the existing, irregular
building envelope on the site became the
main design constraint. Additional site
constraints included a gully located to the
front and side of the site, a significantly
sloping block and proliferous trees, all of
which provided numerous challenges.
The site was also located within an overland
flow path which required consideration as
to how the building was to be sited in
order to reduce potential interference with
the natural drainage conditions of the land.
Given the irregularity of the building
envelope, our first challenge was to attempt
to create a more regular shape that council
would approve which would open up greater possibilities for the building design.
This in itself was challenging given the
122 trees located nearby, so in redirecting
the building envelope the removal of selected
trees was required. A comprehensive
Arboricultural assessment was carried out in
order to review the health of each tree and
assess their viability or otherwise, based on their proximity to the proposed building. In addition,
several trees were required to remain due to their designation as habitats for local fauna in the area
by council. With this in mind, the proposed
building was designed to incorporate these
trees as a feature around the front entry of
the building.
The client brief was quite extensive in order
to meet the needs of a growing family.
As the client was undertaking the build
himself, careful selection of materials,
construction methods and collaboration
throughout the project ensured the client
was able to achieve his desired outcome.
The use of a cladding system called ‘versaloc’
provided an economical product choice
and expedited the build process, while
providing a feature finish to the internal walls.
The precise nature of this system required
room sizes to be adjusted along the way in
order for the walls to be sized according
to the cladding system specifications.
Although the building envelope provided
a challenge in containing everything on the
client’s wish list to the one level, the
cantilevered upper level created a structure
that hovers over the gully below, creating an architectural statement whilst not
negatively impacting the context of the site.
An oversized double garage located below
allows for workshop space, a wine cellar
and further storage. The internal space
draws attention to details such as the
skylights, carefully placed to flood the
spaces with natural light, whilst at the
same time providing views to the sky
and a connection to the exterior.
The main external feature of the house is
a generously sized pool with an infinity
edge along the length that cantilevers
over the gully below. This forms an extension
of the entertainment area which in turn
connects with the interior spaces.
Large sliding doors and windows
throughout allow direct and indirect light
into the living spaces whilst bringing the
outside in.
Attention to detail in the final finishes
of this residence was paramount in creating
a timeless, sensitive design which
would not compromise the longevity
of the home. The modern design meets
the current and future needs of the
client’s family, while flash trends that tend
to date and show the age of a home
have been avoided.
Lateral Building Design created not only
created a purposeful space for a growing
family but also a contemporary and
innovative residence that met the clients brief.

This is the view of the 1928 Historic English Tudor residence, preserved back to the way it looked when it was originally built. Prior to construction, the roof was covered with three layers of asphalt shingles over the original wood shingles. The owners removed all layers and installed new wood sawn shingles, matching the original shingles exactly. This image also shows how well-hidden the bedroom addition is from the street-view.

Product Description
The Titan 4m x 3m Rectangular Aluminium Pergola - Grey is an award winning design, perfect for adding a stylish, covered area to your outdoor space.
5 Year Warranty
Made entirely from aluminium, this stunning pergola is 100% waterproof and weather resistant for long term use. The design is UV protected and therefore resistant to fading and other damage typically caused by heat, plus it protects you and your family from harmful UV rays. These weatherproof aspects mean that virtually no maintenance is required and the pergola can be left alone as a stunning addition to your patio or terrace space.
Additionally, we are proud to share that this collection of pergolas is finished with a TIGER Drylac powder coating which offers improved protection over standard powder coating and is more durable.
This pergola is the perfect opportunity to extend your outdoor season. Thanks to the tilting double-layer louvres, you can switch between a closed, sheltered space and an open top which allows sunlight to come flooding in. This means that you can use your outdoor area even when the weather is less than perfect. This Nova Titan 3x4 M pergola ultimately allows you to choose between sitting in sunshine or shade and provides a fully waterproof roof should it start to rain at a moments notice - typical of British weather!
There is a brilliant built-in drainage system which prevents you from having to open the louvred roof to let water drain. Any rainwwater that lands on the louvres flows into U shaped channels. From here, the water flows from the roof and into channels in the pergola framework. Once in the horizontal framework, the rainwater will then flow into the inside of the hollow pergola legs and vertically down to the ground. This genius system means that you'll never see the water draining off of the pergola. If you were to open the louvres when wet, the U-shaped channels prevent rainwater from dripping under the sheltered area.
This pergola will require assembly and we recommend 2-3 people are required to safely lift and assemble the pergola. The build time is approx 2 hours. In order to secure the pergola to the ground, expansion bolts are supplied as standard. We recommend mounting the pergola on a flat solid and hard surface, like concrete bases. It is strongly recommended that all pergola legs are securely bolted to the floor using the holes within each leg base plate.
Our pergolas do not require planning permission. However, if you are unsure we always recommend contacting your Local Planning Office.
This pergola design is a winner of the Red-Dot design award, showing just how perfect this would be for your outdoor space.
If you plan to match this pergola to existing aluminium furniture, the RAL colour code is 7015.

I am still sometimes shocked myself at how much of a difference a kitchen remodel can make in a space, you think I would know by now! This was one of those jobs. The small U-shaped room was a bit cramped, a bit dark and a bit dated. A neighboring sunroom/breakfast room addition was awkwardly used, and most of the time the couple hung out together at the small peninsula.
The client wish list included a larger, lighter kitchen with an island that would seat 7 people. They have a large family and wanted to be able to gather and entertain in the space. Right outside is a lovely backyard and patio with a fireplace, so having easy access and flow to that area was also important.
Our first move was to eliminate the wall between kitchen and breakfast room, which we anticipated would need a large beam and some structural maneuvering since it was the old exterior wall. However, what we didn’t anticipate was that the stucco exterior of the original home was layered over hollow clay tiles which was impossible to shore up in the typical manner. After much back and forth with our structural team, we were able to develop a plan to shore the wall and install a large steal & wood structural beam with minimal disruption to the original floor plan. That was important because we had already ordered everything customized to fit the plan.
We all breathed a collective sigh of relief once that part was completed. Now we could move on to building the kitchen we had all been waiting for. Oh, and let’s not forget that this was all being done amidst COVID 2020.
We covered the rough beam with cedar and stained it to coordinate with the floors. It’s actually one of my favorite elements in the space. The homeowners now have a big beautiful island that seats up to 7 people and has a wonderful flow to the outdoor space just like they wanted. The large island provides not only seating but also substantial prep area perfectly situated between the sink and cooktop. In addition to a built-in oven below the large gas cooktop, there is also a steam oven to the left of the sink. The steam oven is great for baking as well for heating daily meals without having to heat up the large oven.
The other side of the room houses a substantial pantry, the refrigerator, a small bar area as well as a TV.
The homeowner fell in love the with the Aqua quartzite that is on the island, so we married that with a custom mosaic in a similar tone behind the cooktop. Soft white cabinetry, Cambria quartz and Thassos marble subway tile complete the soft traditional look. Gold accents, wood wrapped beams and oak barstools add warmth the room. The little powder room was also included in the project. Some fun wallpaper, a vanity with a pop of color and pretty fixtures and accessories finish off this cute little space.

Built in 1925, this 15-story neo-Renaissance cooperative building is located on Fifth Avenue at East 93rd Street in Carnegie Hill. The corner penthouse unit has terraces on four sides, with views directly over Central Park and the city skyline beyond.
The project involved a gut renovation inside and out, down to the building structure, to transform the existing one bedroom/two bathroom layout into a two bedroom/three bathroom configuration which was facilitated by relocating the kitchen into the center of the apartment.
The new floor plan employs layers to organize space from living and lounge areas on the West side, through cooking and dining space in the heart of the layout, to sleeping quarters on the East side. A glazed entry foyer and steel clad “pod”, act as a threshold between the first two layers.
All exterior glazing, windows and doors were replaced with modern units to maximize light and thermal performance. This included erecting three new glass conservatories to create additional conditioned interior space for the Living Room, Dining Room and Master Bedroom respectively.
Materials for the living areas include bronzed steel, dark walnut cabinetry and travertine marble contrasted with whitewashed Oak floor boards, honed concrete tile, white painted walls and floating ceilings. The kitchen and bathrooms are formed from white satin lacquer cabinetry, marble, back-painted glass and Venetian plaster. Exterior terraces are unified with the conservatories by large format concrete paving and a continuous steel handrail at the parapet wall.

Completed in 2020, this impressive luxury estate was went through a complete renovation of the house and the entire property and gardens.
This expansive estate creates a private oasis and retreat in the middle of Dallas. The estate includes a private lake with fountain features and stocked with fish, impressive entry gates, an expansive new driveway and front motor court arrival area, grand steps, stone retaining walls and a meandering path that wraps around the lake and offers a wonderful walking experience around the property. The gardens are spectacular and feature a variety of blooming shrubs, perennials and flowers to create a year round experience of color and texture for the owners. The perimeter of the property features mature privacy hedges and trees strategically placed to enhance the views from the house, while still providing glimpses into the property for the neighborhood.
The existing swimming pool was completely renovated to create a tanning shelf for chaise lounges as well as a decorative tile, new plaster and canon fountain jets along the side to provide additional interest. The pool terrace, walkways and all exterior patios feature a beautiful limestone material that dresses up the outside living areas. Adjacent to the pool, the existing cabana structure was redone to create an outdoor kitchen and bar seating for friends and family.
The wrap around porches on the backside of the house create inviting spaces for entertaining and offer incredible vistas overlooking the gardens and lake.
In addition to the expansive garden areas, we planted dozens of mature and specimen trees throughout the property to help provide an instant impact and to also provide the garden another layer of beauty in the fall with the various fall colors offered by the tree selections.
Along side the lake, we created multiple seating areas that offer the owners the opportunity to entertain and enjoy the property from many different angles and at different times of day. A large fire pit terrace was also included beside the lake creating a spectacular experience of water and fire.
We also created recreation areas on the property for kids and adults alike. There is a dedicated playground areas with a large swing set for the kids as well as a new putting and chipping green to practice your short game.

In the diverse and culturally rich landscape of India, architectural facades serve as a canvas that reflects not only the creative prowess of architects but also delivers the rich artistry and context of the region. These facades, with their intricate patterns, innovative details, and creative designs, not only showcase the technical prowess of architects but also tell stories and evoke emotions. In this article, Ar. Robin Sisodiya Founder and Principal Architect of ASRO Arcade India shares insights on the artistry of creative patterns and details in facades and how they exemplify human imagination.
Embedded within the context, patterns can captivate our attention. They serve as a visual language that can communicate ideas, cultures, and concepts through designs. Patterns in facades can take numerous forms, from intricate geometric tessellations to culturally symbolic motifs following a sense of repetition, symmetry, and rhythm which guides a viewer’s gaze. For instance, rhythmic patterns can establish a sense of harmony while a dynamic pattern can evoke excitement and energy. Additionally, patterns in facade designs can interact with light and shadow to create a dynamic visual effect that changes throughout the day. Ar. Robin Sisodiya often uses patterns to maneuver natural light, allowing specific amounts to filter spaces and add a layer of complexity to the facade.
Along with the context, facades are a testament to human innovation and technical mastery. The intricate details found on contemporary structures showcase the dedication of craftsmen to push their boundaries for design. Details on a facade contribute to elevating aesthetics by adding depth, character, and uniqueness to a structure. Ornate details, delicate textures, and thoughtful ornamentation contribute to the visual appeal of a facade, turning it into a captivating visual spectacle. Moreover, details can communicate a building's purpose and significance by acting as a visual narrative. For instance, intricate details craft for a cultural context while sleek lines contribute to the urban landscape in a contemporary flair.
Within this paradigm, creative patterns and details occasionally serve as public art installations, engaging and inspiring communities. The design team at ASRO Arcade frequently engages in collaborative endeavors with artists to transmute facades into grandiose canvases that stimulate contemplation, defy conventions, and incite discourse. Additionally, designers seamlessly amalgamate patterns with contemporary aesthetics and indigenous motifs, yielding facades that epitomize innovation while remaining anchored in tradition. For instance, the juxtaposition of exposed brickwork, adorned with a specific pattern, serves as an homage to local craftsmanship, while its shadow engenders a novel fusion. Over the years, technological advancements can be seen in crafting intricate details in facades that no longer keep them static elements.
In conclusion, architectural facades are more than mere walls; they are the storytellers of our urban landscapes. Through intricate patterns, innovative details, cultural symbolism, and technological integration, facades transcend their utilitarian roles and become manifestations of human creativity and ingenuity. They not only shape the aesthetics of our cities but also serve as mirrors reflecting the values, aspirations, and identities of societies. As we continue to evolve in architecture and design, facades will undoubtedly remain an essential canvas for artistic expression, connecting us to our past, present, and future.
AirField Systems, LLC
Robert Trent Jones Golf Club installs AirField Systems AirDrain.
The AirField Systems AirDrain for Golf Greens installed at Robert Trent Jones, home of The President’s Cup, continues to perform since 2004. Stronger roots, healthier turf, superior drainage and the ability to make it’s own nearly perfect perched water table without organics make AirDrain Golf Greens by AirField the choice of the most discriminating golf course architects, designers, owners and superintendents – and the savings in time, installation and maintenance make it the choice for everyone. View AirDrain Golf Greens in action after years of use at one of the most prestigious courses on the east coast.
Thru a research project conducted at Texas A&M, it was concluded that you can reduce your irrigation needs using AirField Systems AirDrain. The five year research project was jointly funded by the United States Golf Association and AirField Systems and was a collaborative effort between Texas A&M, AirField Systems and the United States Golf Association. The data from the research showed that the AirField Systems drainage profile provided between one to three more days of plant available water than a United States Golf Association recommended gravel and sand profile.
In addition, AirDrain by AirField Systems can significantly save on installation time because much less excavation is required compared to the traditional gravel drainage layers that have a much deeper profile. AirDrain arrives on site in 53” trailers, palletized and ready for install. Unlike gravel drainage, with AirDrain there is no need for heavy dump trucks that can compact your golf course.
Benefits of an AirField System Design for Golf Greens include:
1 to 3 more days of plant available water stored in the root zone (depending on climate)
Significantly reduces daily irrigation needs (as told to us by our customers)
Healthier turf / Stronger root system (as told to us by our customers)
100% Vertical Drainage under the entire playing surface
AirDrain is a 100% recycled copolymer with the impact modifier “metallocene” qualifying it as a “No Break” plastic
Helps eliminate standing water / Simplifies maintenance (as told to us by our customers)
Minimal site disturbance / Far less excavation and disposal
Several Installation days are saved over a gravel installation
Compact shipping that reduces overall storage and transportation costs
An AirDrain System sand profile creates its own perched water table without peat moss or clay
AirDrain’s sand profile and minimal organics puts it at very little risk for issues of mold or disease

Fredman Design Group
Jill Buckner Photography
Seeking a comfortable and casual weekend home for their family, our clients ask for the design team to create a system sophisticated yet "unbuttoned” space to complement their Harbor Country lakeside retreat. Every detail of the space – from the custom cabinetry and millwork to the exaggerated curved legs of the oversized island – was redesigned to add a touch of style and character. The repurposed barn wood throughout incorporates a rustic element, paying homage to the home's natural surroundings. The final redesign pulls together layers of natural elements to blur the line between indoor and outdoor living.
For more than 40 years, Fredman Design Group has been in the business of Interior Design. Throughout the years, we’ve built long-lasting relationships with our clients through our client-centric approach. When creating designs, our decisions depend on the personality of our clients—their dreams and their aspirations. We manifest their lifestyle by incorporating elements of design with those of our clients to create a unique environment, down to the details of the upholstery and accessories. We love it when a home feels finished and lived in, with various layers and textures.
While each of our clients and their stories has varied over the years, they’ve come to trust us with their projects—whether it’s a single room to the larger complete renovation, addition, or new construction.
