Like most growing families, this client wanted to lure everyone outside. And when the family went outdoors, they were hoping to find flamboyant color, delicious fragrance, freshly grilled food, fun play-spaces, and comfy entertaining areas waiting. Privacy was an imperative. Seems basic enough. But a heap of challenges stood in the way between what they were given upon arrival and the family's ultimate dreamscape.
Primary among the impediments was the fact that the house stands on a busy corner lot. Plus, the breakneck slope was definitely not playground-friendly. Fortunately, Westover Landscape Design rode to the rescue and literally leveled the playing field. Furthermore, flowing from space to space is a thoroughly enjoyable, ever-changing journey given the blossom-filled, year-around-splendiferous gardens that now hug the walkway and stretch out to the property lines. Soft evergreen hedges and billowing flowering shrubs muffle street noise, giving the garden within a sense of embrace. A fully functional (and frequently used) convenient outdoor kitchen/dining area/living room expand the house's floorplan into a relaxing, nature-infused on-site vacationland. Mission accomplished. With the addition of the stunning old-world stone fireplace and pergola, this amazing property is a welcome retreat for year round enjoyment. Mission accomplished.

The clients came to LaMantia requesting a more grand arrival to their home. They yearned for a large Foyer and LaMantia architect, Gail Lowry, designed a jewel. This lovely home, on the north side of Chicago, had an existing off-center and set-back entry. Lowry viewed this set-back area as an excellent opportunity to enclose and add to the interior of the home in the form of a Foyer.

With the front entrance now stepped forward and centered, the addition of an Arched Portico dressed with stone pavers and tapered columns gave new life to this home.
The final design incorporated and re-purposed many existing elements. The original home entry and two steps remain in the same location, but now they are interior elements. The original steps leading to the front door are now located within the Foyer and finished with multi-sized travertine tiles that lead the visitor from the Foyer to the main level of the home.

The details for the exterior were also meticulously thought through. The arch of the existing center dormer was the key to the portico design. Lowry, distressed with the existing combination of “busy” brick and stone on the façade of the home, designed a quieter, more reserved facade when the dark stained, smooth cedar siding of the second story dormers was repeated at the new entry.
Visitors to this home are now first welcomed under the sheltering Portico and then, once again, when they enter the sunny warmth of the Foyer.

Our first Coastal Shower Door installation took place at the West One Bathroom's Showroom in London. Designed to look like a modern, small-scale bathroom, this installation featured the brand's iconic line, the Coastal Gridscape 1. Here, black mullions create a cross-hatched design on the shower glass to emulate the style of warehouse windows. It has been paired with a black and white vintage-style basin and round framed mirror against white tiles.

Vertical Properties a division of Morrison Communities did a great job decorating a small conversation living room space with apartment size furniture and vibrant colors.

The first thing people notice about my kitchen is the gorgeous reclaimed beams on the ceiling. Ironically, they were not part of the original plans, but were added to cover up a mistake. When the final plans arrived, the architect had added a cased opening to the breakfast room and a column that would have come down at the end of the kitchen peninsula. I was adamant that the column would ruin the look of the room, so Ridgewater Homes (my builder) worked with me to add a large ceiling beam for support. They were then able to remove the column from the plans. The builder covered the structurally necessary beam with rustic reclaimed wood, then added the smaller beams across the ceiling of the kitchen to make it look planned.
