A small addition on a house presented an opportunity to update the exterior and to bring the house up to compliance with the Wildland Urban Interface fire safe code.

This second-story addition to an already 'picture perfect' Naples home presented many challenges. The main tension between adding the many 'must haves' the client wanted on their second floor, but at the same time not overwhelming the first floor. Working with David Benner of Safety Harbor Builders was key in the design and construction process – keeping the critical aesthetic elements in check. The owners were very 'detail oriented' and actively involved throughout the process. The result was adding 924 sq ft to the 1,600 sq ft home, with the addition of a large Bonus/Game Room, Guest Suite, 1-1/2 Baths and Laundry. But most importantly — the second floor is in complete harmony with the first, it looks as it was always meant to be that way. ©Energy Smart Home Plans, Safety Harbor Builders, Glenn Hettinger Photography

Contemporary meets classic when this sophisticated modern addition brings a mid-century colonial into the present day. From the street view this classic home in Linden Hills was untouched, blending into the fabric of the neighborhood. In the back is a two-story addition featuring an abundance of design detail that provides a new kitchen, mud room, powder room & master suite. Two cement plank clad cubes were cleverly cantilevered off the home, eliminating the need for a new foundation wall.

This built-in model offers unlimited flexibility and an array of storage possibilities for every kind of food, in any kind of space. Key features include: cabinet-depth dimensions, Liebherr’s SoftSystem for gently closing doors, five distinct and customizable temperature zones, additional flexible bottle storage in the main compartment, and LED lighting on both sides. The wine compartment houses 34 bottles, uses wooden shelving on telescopic rails, and offers a unique drop-down presentation shelf.

This project is a carefully designed addition to an existing home, created for a passionate gardener with the goal of seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor spaces. Rather than treating the new structure as a separate element, the design dissolves hard boundaries, allowing the garden to extend into the home and become an ever-present part of daily life

This single family home came with a recently updated kitchen, but a cramped living space and obtrusive fireplace. We kept the furniture simple and clean with a Scandinavian bent, changed out kitchen pendants and stools to make it more modern, and transformed the adjacent room to a bright home office. We also created a sweet and simple nursery for their newest addition.

Added floating shelving and cabinetry to solve storage issues presented. Upgraded appliances to modernize space. Added drying rack pulley. Renovation included exhaust fan addition to account for shower. Runtal radiator cover to match existing ones throughout the rest of home.

Matrix 4 Stone and Glass mix is a recent addition to our glass offerings. With just 4mm in thickness, these glass/stone mosaics will inspire you to create luxurious spaces. Our full collection includes Stone and Glass Mosaics. Together these innovative materials present fresh venues for creative expression.

This beautiful North Vancouver home belongs to a nature-loving and health-conscious couple, Emma and Vince (names changed), their two young children, and their dog, Jasper. When they contacted us about renovating and furnishing their kitchen and family room, we walked in and saw a world of potential waiting to be uncovered. Before: Larkhall Crescent Home: Like many original North Vancouver homes, the interior was definitely dated. We encountered late ‘80s finishes in powder pink and teal green, old carpet, and a kitchen that wasn’t maximized to suit this family’s modern-day lifestyle. However, the size of the rooms offered us a ton of space with which to get creative. Knowing our clients’ love of cooking, need for work spaces (Emma and Vince both work remotely), and growing family, we developed a design concept that would increase usable space, optimize storage, and create intimacy in this large area. As for the style, we were inspired by their European roots, inventing a new and modern take on “Belgian Farmhouse” style. Now, the home is truly one-of-a-kind. After: Warm & Cozy Family Room: Fresh, bright, and comfortable, this living area has been transformed! We started with the fireplace as a focal point, selecting aged brick tiles for added texture and a crisp wood mantle. The taupe-coloured sectional infuses the room with visual warmth and serves the added purpose of separating the family room from the kitchen. Emma and Vince were also keen on using non-toxic materials in their home, and we were happy to oblige. To meet their needs, we sourced natural wood elements and sought out Canadian-made products - that adhere to high health standards - whenever possible. Look closer at the elements of this space, and you will find this stunning, honeycomb-patterned rug in earthy gold, beige, and charcoal tones. It’s plush to the touch and full of visual texture that brings this room’s colour palette together. We sourced these two-tone chairs with caning, petrified wood side table, black sconces, and botanical prints in greyscale from local artist, Heather Johnston. We topped off the space with this dark wood and rattan console that offers storage facing the kitchen and presents an opportunity to display cherished items. The result is a cozy lounging space brimming with comfort and functionality. It’s perfect for enjoying quality family time, or Emma can simply slide the coffee table away to make room for her morning yoga practice. Now, let’s turn around and give some attention to the kitchen. Do you remember what the original kitchen looked like? If not, scroll back up, because the transformation is shocking… Moody & Welcoming Kitchen for Healthy Living: This kitchen looks very different from how it started, right? Though we didn’t touch any walls, the kitchen has almost doubled in usable space! We created a long, extended island with storage, an outlet for small appliances, and seating for comfortable prep, after-school snacking, or mingling among friends. On the other side of the island, the family has even more storage and an integrated dishwasher within easy reach of the sink, perfect for quick clean-up. From this angle, you can also see the expansive custom Shaker cabinetry in white and the integrated double ovens. These facilitate their cooking experience and gave us the opportunity to add an additional surprise… A coffee garage station and more hidden storage! Keeping these items located along the perimeter allows them to be accessed by the family or their guests without someone getting under the cook’s feet. These are the little details that make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. Moving deeper into the kitchen, the seamless induction cooktop topped with a freestanding concealed hood fan commands attention in a soft yet prominent way. The natural wood accent mirrors the fireplace mantle, and the choice of off-black wood-grain cabinets not only continues our black-and-white colour palette but adds a sense of depth and contrast. The corner sink is located to the right and perfectly positioned with a view of their thriving backyard. To invite more of this family’s character into the space, we mixed metals for interest — matte black, dark pewter, and warm brass — and created open shelves in white oak for their plants and decor. You can also glimpse the tumbled edge of the backsplash tile, which echoes the rustic brick of the fireplace. It adds that farmhouse charm while still feeling timeless and sophisticated. Last but not least, we designed this dining banquette in the bay window (with integrated bench storage, of course), where the family can share a meal together, the kids can do homework, or Emma and Vince can work and enjoy a change of scenery from their offices. Like the other spaces in the home, it was designed to be beautiful, multi-functional, and long-lasting. Praise from Our Clients: It is clear that we love this home, but what did our clients have to say? “Lori is a visionary and masters execution to the finest detail all at the same time. When she first met us to know more about who we are and how we live, she could right away envision how we could use the space in our kitchen and living room…The results exceeded our expectations. Lori and her team were also a delight to work with — coordination with all the trades, fast problem-solving, regular updates, professional and friendly attitude of her entire team — made it the dream team. Thank you SHD for making our space so beautiful!” In turn, we are so grateful for this family’s trust, their open communication, and for being wonderful people with whom to work. (So, thank you!)

Imagine watching the Fall leaves change color from this lovely addition in Fairfax, VA. The 4' bumpout on the sunroom cantilevers out over the stairs that lead to the basement, so there was some concern about head height and code. The windows also presented a challenge because attaining the look we wanted with the windows being so large and coming out so close to the edges of the walls meant we had to do steel moment framing- which is challenging from an engineering standpoint, but far more so from a fabrication/installation standpoint.

This Loft/Studio apartment is a second floor addition. It proudly presents laminate flooring with white and light blue walls with white crown molding to finish. The Kitchenette provides white shaker style kitchen cabinets and drawers, with stainless steel refrigerator, oven, microwave, drawer and cupboard pulls, double drop in stainless steel drop in kitchen sinks and faucets.
