Full Home Renovation and Addition. Industrial Artist Style. We removed most of the walls in the existing house and create a bridge to the addition over the detached garage. We created an very open floor plan which is industrial and cozy. Both bathrooms and the first floor have cement floors with a specialty stain, and a radiant heat system. We installed a custom kitchen, custom barn doors, custom furniture, all new windows and exterior doors. We loved the rawness of the beams and added corrugated tin in a few areas to the ceiling. We applied American Clay to many walls, and installed metal stairs. This was a fun project and we had a blast! Tom Queally Photography

A handy, empty-nester couple, nearing retirement, sold their mansion, and purchased a fixer-upper on a sunlit hillside that features the spectacular ocean view of the Channel Islands. ENRarchitects was hired to assist with making minor enhancements to the plan, integrating the lower level parking court, and adding a patio deck. The owner, a retiring engineer, took on the responsibilities of general contracting during construction. Our collaboration included opening the kitchen to the Living-Dining space, so all can enjoy the ocean view. A balcony was added to second floor Master Study, with a new laundry room below it. Both bathrooms were modestly enlarged to provide more spacious showers. Lastly, the Entry Foyer was opened to ceiling height into the Living Room. In California, ocean views inherently include relentless west sunshine, and formidable interior heat gain. Multiple design studies explored various means to incorporate shading and solar screening measures to permit the view, and to reduce heat gain. Additional studies featured more substantial proposed additions, including a lower level guest suite, and a detached office. A key feature, is the addition of a raised, covered entry porch, where passengers and goods can be offloaded, prior to parking on the lower level. The new porch also provides a secondary transition around the structure to the ocean view, split-level patio. A 2nd phase included the suggestion of rebuilding the lower covered parking to include a roof deck, rooftop guest suite, and solar electricity, which was successfully completed. The property is now mildly reminiscent of the Sea Ranch community. With the blessing of year-round comfortable weather, and ever-changing, dynamic views, the successfully remodeled home takes full advantage for a new generation of colorful living.

Iroquois Park Addition: The Study is our next stop on the tour of this home. The Study is open to the Foyer and the first room you see as you enter. We wanted just a hint of the blue/green color from the other spaces on the wall so we painted them Frosty White (SW6196). We also had Kelly Sisler of Kelly Faux Creations work her magic on their white built-ins by painting them Software (SW7074) with a bronze glaze on top. For furnishings, we worked with the homeowners’ writing desk and wrought iron bookcase and added a wingback chair in a gray flannel fabric in the corner. The finishing touches really make this space. We added an oversized colorful map and oversized clock to the walls. We accessorized the built-in with natural and stone items to pop off the gray. We used a fun garden stool as a side table for the chair. For the window treatments, we installed drapery panels in an updated plaid fabric on medallions to frame the palladium window.

The Rochman Design Build team transformed another garage into a gorgeous space. For this project, we tore down a detached garage of our clients’ Ann Arbor Hills home and built a new 2 story garage & Study addition. On the ground floor there is a 1 car garage plus an exercise room. The 2nd floor is a large study which will have custom bookcases, a vaulted ceiling, and lots of day light. We also built a patio on the back where our clients can have breakfast and entertain. The patio is connected to the garage with beautiful brick pavers. There is a covered walkway between the house and the garage / Study. Following immediately with a 2nd project, Rochman Design Build moved from the garage and study addition on this Ann Arbor Hills colonial to the main house. This whole house remodel included doing a whole new kitchen, mudroom, powder room and butler’s pantry on the first floor. On the 2nd floor, we changed one entire side of the house into a large and beautiful study / office with a Juliette balcony, renovated the bathroom, and reconfigured the master bathroom including additional work in the remainder of the master suite.

design: Studio TOOP, 2008 location: Vianen, NL status: built in 2008, Tuinvreugd photo: Jolanthe Lalkens, 2009 This front garden needed to make a link with the newly built contemporary home and its gorgeous view. The key was for the design not to compete with either. Strokes of three types of grass and textural interest and privacy while not distracting you from the main focus of the garden: the view!
