After putting in a new swimming pool, our client’s main goal was to create a functional outdoor living space that would accommodate friends and family and satisfy their need for entertaining large groups of people. Progressive Design Build designed a solution that started with a large covered patio and seating area. The renovation focused on building a grilling station that included a curved granite countertop with an area for seating at the end of the cabinet run; and a large grill and hood vent, which allowed for an adequate cooking surface area to accommodate any occasion. We matched the existing brick pavers from an existing area of the home to create a cohesive look and maintain the rustic feel of the backyard. The cabinets were built out of Cypress and stained to match the finish of the newly installed wood patio ceiling. We were also able to supply and install a new fire pit so this family could enjoy the beautiful Florida sunsets with friends and family—the ones we Southwest Florida residents have the privilege of experiencing and enjoying throughout the year.

This project is part of a whole house remodel that embraced accessible design and the premise of living-in-place. The objectives for the primary suite closets were to accommodate an extensive woman’s wardrobe including 40+ pairs of shoes while leaving adequate space for the husband’s more modest wardrobe. Further, all items needed to be accessible. The original closet was eliminated by the relocation of the staircase to the second-floor master suite. A careful analysis of the homeowners’ needs and desires optimized the organization and storage options to include a variety of closet rod widths and heights, roll-out shoe racks, roll-out soft drawers, and shelving. The content of the closets is illuminated by tubular skylights with integral light kits in the hall, over the door LED fixtures in each closet and lighted LED lower closet rods. The closet design achieved the homeowners objective to house their wardrobes and even had room left over for bed linens.

This project has three components, which is all built differently. The main house is a waterfront property at the bottom of a steep cliff. All machine and materials are delivered by barge. Concrete is pumped from the top of the cliff down to the bottom with a 400ft line into a boom pump which was delivered by barge. Due to the challenging access to the site, most of the structural backfill is actually Styrofoam (EPS) backfill. The garage is built from the top of the cliff, with a 27ft tall foundation wall. We needed to excavate to solid bedrock in order to adequately anchor the foundation into the hillside. This tall foundation wall are 10″ thick with a double grid of rebar to retain approximately 350 cu yards of fill. Styrofoam backfill was also used. A funicular (tramway) is also being built on this project, which required it’s own building permit. Image by Ema Peter Photography

The house, for a four-member family, is built on a sloping plot with in a terraced alignment type of layout system. The desire to achieve the greatest possible contact with the ground, is a determining factor for the organization of the levels of the building. The building is defined by a 10mx10mx6,50m two storey space. This is the “box” in which the common spaces of the house are located and acts as the outer shell.Smaller, independent volumes penetrate this shell and define the private spaces of the users.The building follows the principles of bioclimatic design: a cooling and shading strategy, natural ventilation and an appropriate heating strategy combined with solar gains.Also adequate natural light is provided according to the use of the space. Exposed concrete is used for the construction of the external shell, whereas red cedar wood and rusted steel are the materials that cover the external surfaces of the private “boxes”.

My clients wanted a more tranquil feel but with a patterned cement tile look on the floor. I chose a ceramic lookalike for ease of care and durability. We have plantation shutters and more than adequate lighting with charming fixtures and recessed lights. Since the 2 hall closets became laundry areas, they needed extra storage and wanted a makeup vanity. My client was able to have everything they wanted and a larger shower by taking out the tub and deck that was never used. --- This Moorestown, NJ, interior design project was completed by Lenore Frances Homes & Interiors.

This kitchen not only lacked adequate storage and functionality but also did not convey the contemporary style & open, family-oriented concept they had envisioned. In addition, the current space was in much need of general repairs, more modern materials, updated electrical, lighting, plumbing lines & fixtures, and professional appliances that would better cater to the household and their love of cooking together as a family.
