Location: Nantucket, MA, USA This classic Nantucket home had not been renovated in several decades and was in serious need of an update. The vision for this summer home was to be a beautiful, light and peaceful family retreat with the ability to entertain guests and extended family. The focal point of the kitchen is the La Canche Chagny Range in Faience with custom hood to match. We love how the tile backsplash on the Prep Sink wall pulls it all together and picks up on the spectacular colors in the White Princess Quartzite countertops. In a nod to traditional Nantucket Craftsmanship, we used Shiplap Panelling on many of the walls including in the Kitchen and Powder Room. We hope you enjoy the quiet and tranquil mood of these images as much as we loved creating this space. Keep your eye out for additional images as we finish up Phase II of this amazing project!

Our pioneer project, Casita de Tierra in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, showcases the natural building techniques of a rubble trench foundation, earthbag construction, natural plasters, earthen floors, and a composting toilet. Our earthbag wall system consists of locally available, cost-efficient, polypropylene bags that are filled with a formula of clay and aggregate unearthed from our building site. The bags are stacked like bricks in running bonds, which are strengthened by courses of barbed wire laid between each row, and tamped into place. The walls are then plastered with a mix composed of clay, sand, soil and straw, and are followed by gypsum and lime renders to create attractive walls. The casita exhibits a load-bearing wall system demonstrating that thick earthen walls, with no rebar or cement, can support a roofing structure. We, also, installed earthen floors, created an indoor dry-composting toilet system, utilized local woods for the furniture, routed all grey water to the outdoor garden, and maximized air flow by including cross-ventilating screened windows below the natural palm frond and cane roof. Casita de Tierra exemplifies an economically efficient, structurally sound, aesthetically pleasing, environmentally kind, and socially responsible home.

ASID Design Excellence First Place Residential – Kitchen and Bathroom: Michael Merrill Design Studio was approached three years ago by the homeowner to redesign her kitchen. Although she was dissatisfied with some aspects of her home, she still loved it dearly. As we discovered her passion for design, we began to rework her entire home for consistency including this bathroom.

Greg Pinn, Vice President of Pinn Brothers Fine Homes of San Jose, California, brought his dream to fruition with the completion of his own French Country Chateau. The level of quality and the attention to detail found in every aspect of his residence is a tribute to the craftsmanship of the professionals who helped build it as well as the beautiful materials that made it possible. When selecting the stone and brick for the home’s exterior, Pinn and his fellow builders contructed a full-scale wall that had four different mockups of various stone profiles and colors before finalizing their selection. Upon taking all the possibilities into consideration, Eldorado’s Fieldledge and Limestone profiles in addition to the Bracciano RomaBrick proved to be just the product their team was looking for, all of which were installed using an overgrout technique. Having worked with Eldorado exclusively for close to 10 years on all of his projects, Pinn had Eldorado in mind when the architectural plans were in the beginning stages of development and felt confident from the get-go that Eldorado would be their stone and brick of choice. By working with Eldorado, Pinn was able to implement the look of natural stone in several places throughout the home. There was extensive use of both stone and brick on the retaining walls of his yard, around the pook, the outdoor living space, and on all the chimney stacks. He also dressed the majority of the home’s exterior in Eldorado’s stone and brick because of its affordability and ease of installation versus natural stone. An added bonus was that Pinn won’t have difficulty finding similar stones if need be like he would using stone from a quarry. He can rely on the consistency and availability of Eldorado, regardless of the amount of time that goes by. According to Pinn, Eldorado Stone made all the difference in the success of creating his very own French Country Chateau.

Every web hosting company comes with a different package according to the requirements of the customers so that their websites keep on running in a smooth way. Ittotally depends on you which hosting package you choose in order to enjoy the best services for your website. The common options in web hosting include shared web hosting, VPS, dedicated web hosting, cloud web hosting and more. It is easy to decide what type of web host to choose but choosing the right package is not that easy. Here are top5 features which make your web hosting package the most favorable one: 1. OperationSystem Operating system is the software which runs on your host. This OS is responsible for managing the server hardware. It also helps in optimizing the use of disk space, RAM, CPU and the network. This OS might not be the same as what you get for thedesktops. The best OS will ensure that the management functions of your website keep on running. 2. WebServer Usually, the hosting companies provide UNIX Apache or the Microsoft IIS servers. The server should be capable of processing the requests of the users fast. It must further have the SSL certificate. 3. Bandwidth Thebandwidth provided should be just as accurate. In case your websitehosts thousands of visitors, it is recommended that you choose a large bandwidth so that your revenue stream is not interrupted. In case you have plans of business expansion, the package should have flexibility of bandwidth expansion too. Some hosting companies do offer unlimited bandwidthbut make sure you go to the depth for learning about the package and its pros and cons. 4. Domain All of the hosting providers usually offer the sub domains but some also provide the external DNS entries to the account which is called add-on domain. This will let you buy additional domains and you will be able to run more than one website even if they are unrelated to each other. 5. ControlPanel Control panel is the place where you get to manage your web hosting account and you have access to different features and tools for that purpose. There are 2 types of control panels; one is cPanel and the other one is Plesk. You can also get a custom control panel. Usually, cPanel is the most offered and chosen because it comes with amazing features of managing utilities. It allows you to configure the system, web server, email, website, DNS and more. There are many other features to look for when you are choosing a web hosting package such as DMCA ignore hosting, applications provided, database and FTP. You are required to perform some research on the providers. For that, it is important to know your business needs so that the hosting package you choose caters your business needs in the most precise way. With the understanding of these features, it will get easier to make a wise decision while selecting the web hosting package for your website.

A charming 1920s colonial had a dated dark kitchen that was not in keeping with the historic charm of the home. The owners, who adored British design, wanted a kitchen that was spacious and storage friendly, with the feel of a classic English kitchen. Designer Sarah Robertson of Studio Dearborn helped her client, while architect Greg Lewis redesigned the home to accommodate a larger kitchen, new primary bath, mudroom, and butlers pantry.
