This impressive detached building is located in the heart of the bustling Dundas West strip, and presents a unique opportunity for creative live + work space. Designed by Kohn Shnier Architects, the building was completed in 2008 and has been owner-occupied ever since. Modern steel and concrete construction enable clear spans throughout, and the virtual elimination of bulkheads. The main floor features a dynamic retail space, that connects to a lower level with high ceilings – perfect as a workshop, atelier or as an extension of the retail. Upstairs, a spacious loft-like apartment is spread over 2 floors. The mainfloor includes a decadent chef’s kitchen finished in Corian, with a large eat-at island. The combined living & dining rooms connect with a large south-facing terrace with exceptional natural light and neighbourhood views. Upstairs, the master bathroom features abundant built-in closets, together with a generous ensuite bathroom. A second open space is presently used as a studio, but is easily converted to a closed 2nd bedroom. Parking is provided at the rear of the building, and the rooftop functions as a green roof. The finest materials have been used in this very special building, from anodized aluminium windows paired with black manganese brick, to high quality appliances and dual furnaces to provide adequate heating and fire separation between the retail and residential units.

Complete Master bathroom makeover with seamless drainage, and not even the need for a sower enclosure! This bathroom needed a complete make over. It had a large time worn bathtub that was not being used and was taking up a lot of space. There was a need for a larger shower space and having other bathtubs in the house; the decision to eliminate the bathtub was a starting point for the remodeling of this luxurious comfort bathroom. The vanity was custom designed and wood crafted with a walnut impermeable imported veneer. The drawers have subdivisions for custom jewelry and small items to be adequately stored. The plumbing area under the sink is disguised as drawers, but it is in reality an interior open space freely accessible in case of pipe maintenance. It can still accommodate extra towels. The plumbing that goes under the sink was the main reason to avoid a second basin. No matter how you work around it; plumbing always take precious storage space away or may have to be exposed, which was not a desirable solution for this job. The wall covered in mother pearl mosaic was brought out to shelter the mirror cabinets which are deep and provides with lots of good storage. Also provided and indirect led lighting and interesting design.

These Excelsior homeowners bought this property primarily for the lakeshore view. All was well until they realized that the floor plan didn’t leave adequate room for a larger kitchen remodel and a dining room. Their first attempt to design a large enough dining addition with another remodeler failed. So, they lived in frustration without the dining room view for years. Fortunately, for all of us, their next-door neighbors had just finished a deck/sauna remodel with Murphy Bros. and gladly made the referral to us. Now they have a 9 x 12 foot dining room addition, with an 8 x 12 foot deck extension off the dining room, all seamlessly integrated into their existing structure. To stay within budget, we re-used the decking to extend the deck off the new addition. We also designed a slanted pergola over the existing deck for added visual interest.

These delightful clients of Sosna, a family of middle-aged professionals, contacted us to renovate their Kitchen and Office Space in their home. The Kitchen was dated, and lacked sufficient storage, while the Office lacked adequate work space and storage. Throughout the renovation process, ensuring top-quality workmanship and adhering to a strict deadline were paramount. The Kitchen was transformed into a stunning, highly functional space ideal for hosting gatherings. The eyes are drawn to the unique lighting feature over the large island, and the gorgeous sliding door with black trim, providing natural light, and a perfect view into the backyard. The Living Room was updated with functional shelving that kept everything in its place, and wires and cords tucked away. In the office, we've maximized storage and functionality. Our design approach focused on timelessness, incorporating white and black cabinetry with touches of gold, creating an elegant and enduring style. In the end, we completed the project on time and provided our clients with a functional space, that matched their personal style and met their needs.

The existing under-utilized garage will be converted into a modern style home office & future ADU. This detached residential home office & future accessory dwelling will serve as a focus work space, as well as an independent living space for family or guests to stay overnight with privacy from the main home.

When buying the house, the homeowners loved the location, but needed to make the space more open and functional for their family. Having three young children, they wanted to make sure adequate sight lines were included between the kitchen and great room since they knew that’s where they would spend most of their time. The homeowners also wanted to update the space to match their modern design tastes. The home was a traditional design, but coming from New York City, these homeowners sought to bring a city vibe to their home while making it more functional for their needs. The opening between the great room and kitchen was enlarged by adding a 13’ beam to the home. The kitchen design was modified to get rid of an awkward and small pantry along with eliminating a window to allow for more cabinetry. The custom island includes a microwave, sink and dishwasher. Outlets were hidden under the upper cabinets to give the backsplash a clean look and feel. The home had two home offices, one of them was converted to a workout space. Custom millwork was completed to modernize the two-way fireplace. Additional hardwood flooring was added to the first floor, and all was refinished to match. New lighting was installed throughout the first floor as well. The small laundry room was reconfigured to allow more storage including adding a pocket door to save on real estate. Removing the kitchen pantry, gave the laundry more storage space for hanging laundry and storing supplies. All these remodeling decisions took place from afar while the homeowners still lived in NYC.

This homeowner loved her home and location, but it needed updating and a more efficient use of the condensed space she had for her kitchen. We were creative in opening the kitchen and a small eat-in area to create a more open kitchen for multiple cooks to work together. We created a coffee station/serving area with floating shelves, and in order to preserve the existing windows, we stepped a base cabinet down to maintain adequate counter prep space. With custom cabinetry reminiscent of the era of this home and a glass tile back splash she loved, we were able to give her the kitchen of her dreams in a home she already loved. We attended a holiday cookie party at her home upon completion, and were able to experience firsthand, multiple cooks in the kitchen and hear the oohs and ahhs from family and friends about the amazing transformation of her spaces.

The Greens at Woodland Hills features 212 rolling acres and the perfect neighborhood to begin building your custom home. This peaceful setting, located in the Saydel school district, delivers quick access to I-80 and I-35 for commuters headed to downtown Des Moines or north to Ames. Retail shopping and Saylorville Lake are nearby too. The Greens at Woodland Hills is just south of Woodland Hills Golf Course, on Northeast 66th Street between Northeast 14th Street and Northwest Second Avenue. The Greens at Woodland Hills is a Conservation Community, taking into account environmental principals and green spaces. Based on the premise that nature knows best, our conservation living designs protect natural features such as woodlands and stream buffers. To protect these areas, impervious surfaces such as streets and driveways are reduced and a more natural stormwater management system is used. Each of our Conservation Communities provides approximately seven times the amount of public, open space than what is found in a typical development. These areas, usually planted with native flowers and grasses, are beautiful and functional. They provide aesthetic value, adequate stormwater conveyance, distribution of the water flow and natural filtration of pollutants.

The Aerius - Modern Craftsman in Ridgefield Washington by Cascade West Development Inc. Upon opening the 8ft tall door and entering the foyer an immediate display of light, color and energy is presented to us in the form of 13ft coffered ceilings, abundant natural lighting and an ornate glass chandelier. Beckoning across the hall an entrance to the Great Room is beset by the Master Suite, the Den, a central stairway to the Upper Level and a passageway to the 4-bay Garage and Guest Bedroom with attached bath. Advancement to the Great Room reveals massive, built-in vertical storage, a vast area for all manner of social interactions and a bountiful showcase of the forest scenery that allows the natural splendor of the outside in. The sleek corner-kitchen is composed with elevated countertops. These additional 4in create the perfect fit for our larger-than-life homeowner and make stooping and drooping a distant memory. The comfortable kitchen creates no spatial divide and easily transitions to the sun-drenched dining nook, complete with overhead coffered-beam ceiling. This trifecta of function, form and flow accommodates all shapes and sizes and allows any number of events to be hosted here. On the rare occasion more room is needed, the sliding glass doors can be opened allowing an out-pour of activity. Almost doubling the square-footage and extending the Great Room into the arboreous locale is sure to guarantee long nights out under the stars.
