Hand-crafted from the highest quality raw materials, the master carpenters of Studio Becker have engineered a functioning Concert Grand Piano that secretly conceals a full-service bar.

In this project, the client had some doubts in respect to the color and style of the siding he desired. After working extensively with him, we reached an agreement and got special order James Hardie Siding! Boston Blue was the color we signed off on, and it was the right choice. Located by the beach, this home renovation has grabbed the attention of the neighborhood along with all the visitors of the beach. We also constructed a new patio walkway in the rear of the house for the homeowner. A top quality job and a more than satisfied customer at the end was a mission accomplished!

Bursting with craft to enhance true Muskoka living, the vision for this Lake Muskoka custom build was to bring family to the forefront of every day living. Classic, timeless, modern and clean, with a touch of rustic elements throughout. Our client envisioned a streamlined, elegant home that maximized the impact of the glorious views and showcased their love of natural materials. ABOVE & BEYOND provided full planning and design services and executed a re-zoning and site plan agreement for the property in order to accomplish the client’s vision for their cottage. This open-concept space framed with floor-to-celing windows, is defined by a custom stone fireplace, complete with reclaimed barn beam for the feature mantle. A cool, fresh palette and simple lines bring focus to the fine details and rustic finishes that distinguish this exceptional home. Standout features include custom cabinetry and built-ins, a massive island draped with white granite, and brushed steel hardware. Bursting with craft and fine woodwork, including a graceful, fine-lined staircase, maximize the light that makes this family home so magnificent.

This is a photo of what was formerly the front living room space when the client first purchased the home. The existing window was what the new cabinet line was detailed around. In addition the bottom window sash was replaced with tempered glass, due to the addition of the window seat. Raised panel wainscotting sets off the balance of the room, which was transformed into a beautiful home office space. The existing oak floors were stained dark throughout the entire first floor, which creates a nice juxtaposition between the millwork & the floors. All of the cabinet detailing was repeated throughout the entire first floor. I would have liked to include applied ceiling mouldings but the client wasn't in agreement :-(. All of the existing windows surround trims & sills are all custom designed new. These surround details were used throughout the entire residence.

This formal living room is located directly off of the main entry of a traditional style located just outside of Seattle on Mercer Island. Our clients wanted a space where they could entertain, relax and have a space just for mom and dad. The center focus of this space is a custom built table made of reclaimed maple from a bowling lane and reclaimed corbels, both from a local architectural salvage shop. We then worked with a local craftsman to construct the final piece.

The Home While looking for space where their active family could expand, these homeowners turned to Black Forest, with trees that remind them of their Indiana years. A stunning Pikes Peak view underscores how fortunate they are to live in Colorado. This home features classic nods to the owner’s French heritage while embracing a thoroughly of-the-moment Colorado lifestyle. Priorities for these homeowners included blending outdoor and indoor spaces wherever possible with generously proportioned windows and doors, porches, patios and balconies. A gracious lime-washed brick entry punctuates a simplified white stucco and black-frame-windowed exterior with traditional rooflines. Dramatic open spaces on the main floor comfortably accommodate the everyday activities of this busy family of four, while providing for welcomed visits from family and friends. A functional, open kitchen is designed for serious cooking, a butler’s pantry for staples, and serveware storage and dining spaces that effortlessly host after-school snacking to multi-course meals. A main-level, Peak-view office comfortably supports working at home, complete with a beer cave and tasting nook for hosting fellow aficionados after work is done. Guests will find comfort and privacy in a ma in-level guestroom suite or sleepover fun in the built-in bunks of the expansive over-garage bonus room. This home is a true collaboration that blends the homeowner’s long-held vision of their ideal home brought to life by the builder’s vision and design/build process that achieves something truly…Warm and welcoming in the Forest. The Builder Stauffer & Sons Construction is a true Design-Build team creating some of the finest living spaces in the Pikes Peak region for over twenty years. We’ve developed an easy point-of-entry to the Design-Build process that begins with our very popular Conceptual Design and Budgeting Agreement. This affordable, low-commitment step provides answers to the early-stage questions of “what and how much?” With this critical information in place, a robust collaboration between client and builder ensues, resulting in a thoughtfully designed home that strikes a balance between size and scope and budget. The Interior Design Family, friends and soon-to-be friends are welcomed into this updated version of a French country farmhouse through a bricked archway and a solid arch-top entry door. Once inside, a sweeping gallery of windows adorned with flower-filled window boxes sets a nice foreground to the ponderosa pine forest. A great room with a two-story, lime-washed, brick fireplace sits juxtaposed to a cozy farm-styled kitchen with large island, plenty of storage and a Pikes Peak view. This family home features a simple, clean design with warm, wooden beams and solid, white-oak flooring. This home is designed to be lived in. Wherever you go, downstairs, upstairs or out on the porch, this home wraps around you and is a delightful place to enjoy.

Shower Stall With a View. Mosaic tile used for the vanity backsplash was also installed in the shower surrounded by rows of soft white porcelain subway tile. A natural mosaic stone shower floor was installed with an infinity drain and a footrest doubles as a shelf. A glass enclosure and quartz clad skylight complete the look.
