Traditional exterior home idea in Salt Lake City

This home office at the Ritz-Carlton Residences in downtown Portland presented an interesting challenge. We wanted to follow the angle of the exterior wall while also squaring off the room, leading to a tapered desktop and staggered-depth cabinetry. The cabinetry was constructed of rift-sawn white oak with 30-degree beveled face frames and integral finger pulls. A Docking Drawer Blade Duo provides an in-drawer outlet for concealed power and charging, while the custom desktop incorporates a DeskHaus Apex Pro sit/stand base. Built by Rip City Craftsman.

Hammered zinc counter tops, fumed oak cabinets in a distressed finish. This kitchen is truly one of a kind!

The homeowner, a confessed Francophile, takes her love of all things French to another level. The combination of colors and textures provides a restful and beautiful environment, and brings to mind long walks in Provence surrounded by a flurry of lavender.

Cecelia and Neil loved their home in Cary, NC, but felt that their Master Bath was outdated and not serving well to provide the space that they wanted. The large garden tub did not appeal to them, and took up too much floor space, making the shower enclosure feel small. Our solution was to remove the old tub, shower enclosure, vanity, and tile and start over. The liked the “Retro Look” of a claw foot free-standing tub and bright “Subway Tile” and the warm rich feel of dark wood. We positioned the claw-foot in a fraction of the space that the old tub took up, allowing us to increase the size of the shower enclosure. We added the bright “Subway tile” to the shower enclosure, and laid octagonal mosaic tile on the floor, with a black accent line running along the perimeter of the bathroom. We installed a warm rich dark wood “Furniture Style” vanity, with a luxurious Carrara marble top. We crowned the half-wall separating the water closet from the main room with matching Carrara marble, and added a wall hung cabinet for extra storage. As a special touch, we installed Carrara marble on top of the shower curb and installed the shower glass on top of the curb. All of the design elements came together to create a bright yet inviting “Retro-Style” Master Bath that Cecelia and Neil enjoy using every day!

This stunning walk-in shower features a seamless blend of modern luxury and classic elegance. The white Carrara porcelain tiles create a clean, timeless look, while the built-in niche offers convenient storage. A rain showerhead provides a soothing, spa-like experience, complemented by a hand spray for added versatility. Chrome fixtures add a sleek, contemporary touch, and the open design enhances the spacious feel. This shower is the perfect balance of style and functionality, creating a refreshing retreat within the bathroom.

This home is on several acres, and the homeowner wanted a freestanding outdoor living room with a large kitchen and fireplace that matched their home. The rustic/hill country vibe is just perfect. The rustic stone and dark stained columns and beams create this stunning outdoor space. A walkway from the home to the new outdoor space was poured for easy access to the 624 SF freestanding living room. Everything was built to look original to the home – matching the siding, metal roof, and gel-stained Hardie on the columns and beams. The flooring inside the space is hand-carved limecrete overlay in a travertine pattern. There are concrete pads on the outside for a smoker and plants. The 18’ kitchen along one side has a grill, sink, fridge, storage, and a ceramic smoker. The granite is Fantasy Brown 3cm leather finish from InStyle Granite and Marble. The raised bar top provides plenty of space for dining outdoors. All the stone on the project is Colonial Monte Vista from Apex Stone. The hearth and seat walls are topped with Ashton Moire ledge stone from Apex Stone. The custom-built fireplace is woodburning with storage on either side for wood storage. The ceiling is American Nut Brown pre-stained tongue and groove by Woodtone.

Coastal Shingle Style on St. Andrew Bay Private Residence / Panama City Beach, Florida Architect: Eric Watson Builder: McIntosh-Myers Construction For this lovely Coastal Shingle–style home, E. F. San Juan supplied Loewen impact-rated windows and doors, E. F. San Juan Invincia® impact-rated custom mahogany entry doors, exterior board-and-batten siding, exterior shingles, and exterior trim and millwork. We also supplied all the interior doors, stair parts, paneling, mouldings, and millwork. Challenges: At over 10,000 square feet, the sheer size of this home—coupled with the extensive amount of materials we produced and provided—made for a great scheduling challenge. Another significant challenge for the E. F. San Juan team was the homeowner’s desire for an electronic locking system on numerous Invincia® doors we custom manufactured for the home. This was a first-time request for us, but a challenge we gladly accepted! Solution: We worked closely with the builder, Cliff Myers of McIntosh-Myers Construction, as well as the architect, Eric Watson, to ensure the timeliness of decisions as they related to the home’s critical production timeline. We also worked closely with our design engineer and the home’s engineer of record, Allen Barnes of Apex Engineering Group, to provide a solution that allowed for an electronic lock on our custom Invincia® mahogany doors. The completed home is a stunning example of coastal architecture that is as safe and secure as it is beautiful. --- Photography by Jack Gardner
