Designed and built in conjunction with Freemont #2, this home pays homage to surrounding architecture, including that of St. James Lutheran Church. The home is comprised of stately, well-proportioned rooms; significant architectural detailing; appropriate spaces for today's active family; and sophisticated wiring to service any HD video, audio, lighting, HVAC and / or security needs. The focal point of the first floor is the sweeping curved staircase, ascending through all three floors of the home and topped with skylights. Surrounding this staircase on the main floor are the formal living and dining rooms, as well as the beautifully-detailed Butler's Pantry. A gourmet kitchen and great room, designed to receive considerable eastern light, is at the rear of the house, connected to the lower level family room by a rear staircase. Four bedrooms (two en-suite) make up the second floor, with a fifth bedroom on the third floor and a sixth bedroom in the lower level. A third floor recreation room is at the top of the staircase, adjacent to the 400SF roof deck. A connected, heated garage is accessible from the rear staircase of the home, as well as the rear yard and garage roof deck. This home went under contract after being on the MLS for one day.

You can add the 'boy' touches to his room with accessories rather than the obvious bedding approach. This idea is most appropriate when your boy is becoming a young man.

The challenge of this project was to fulfill the clients' desire for a unique and modern second story addition that would blend harmoniously with the original 1930s bungalow. On the exterior, the addition appropriates the traditional materials of the existing home, while using contemporary proportions and lines to speak to a modern sensibility. Staggered massing and terraced roofs add to the visual interest and a harmonious balance in the design. On the interior, rich natural materials like oak and mahogany add warmth to the clean lines of the design. The design carefully frames stunning views of the reservoir and surrounding hills. In each room, multi-directional natural light, views and cross-ventilation increase the comfort and expansiveness of the spaces Photography by: Studio Ceja

Clean lines and a refined material palette transformed the Moss Hill House master bath into an open, light-filled space appropriate to its 1960 modern character. Underlying the design is a thoughtful intent to maximize opportunities within the long narrow footprint. Minimizing project cost and disruption, fixture locations were generally maintained. All interior walls and existing soaking tub were removed, making room for a large walk-in shower. Large planes of glass provide definition and maintain desired openness, allowing daylight from clerestory windows to fill the space. Light-toned finishes and large format tiles throughout offer an uncluttered vision. Polished marble “circles” provide textural contrast and small-scale detail, while an oak veneered vanity adds additional warmth. In-floor radiant heat, reclaimed veneer, dimming controls, and ample daylighting are important sustainable features. This renovation converted a well-worn room into one with a modern functionality and a visual timelessness that will take it into the future. Photographed by: place, inc

Bedroom - traditional bedroom idea in Houston

Here is a model home pool that has one of the most interesting features you will ever see in a pool. It has an acrylic glass window that is 2 ½ inches thick so you can see the kids swimming in the pool. This is a unique design for those who are not focused on a budget because the building process is complex and it takes the right people with the appropriate experience. Overall the effect is unique and rare to find, while setting your pool apart from the others. At night with the lights on in the pool, the effect comes to life. We designed the lower seating area located next to the glass walls so you can entertain right along the pool edge. To top that we have a 45 foot long by 6 feet high water wall with water spilling down the rocks into the pool. It makes this a one of a kind pool that was thought up by thinking out of the box; something that we at Splash Pools like to do. A contemporary lower seating area is nestled closely to the pool’s edge for entertaining. Another element that added a great feature is the fire pit that keeps the family together while staying warm. Some can be in the heated pool, and others by the warm fire. This is something that every family should enjoy.
