The homeowners were building a new home and wanted to incorporate a beautiful lakeside landscape design. The design was constrained by several factors, including lakeshore setbacks that limited development towards the lake and impacted sideyards, as well as strict impervious surface restrictions that limited installation options. To address these challenges, steppers and 3-foot pathways with planting beds were used to create connection spaces without affecting lot coverage. Despite these restrictions, the goals for the project were clear: create an open yard that maintains views of the lake, develop connected and versatile entertaining spaces, and use materials and colors that blend seamlessly with the house. The design also aimed to provide ample space for family and friends and incorporate a firepit area, hot tub, cooking area, longue beds, and dining area.

Master Bathroom Construction: Luxury can be incorporated into any master bathroom renovation. Remodeling takes proper planning and construction. A bathroom must stand up to high humidity, unique electrical needs, safe slip-proof floors, and adequate lighting. As bathroom remodel contractors we listen and translate your preferences into a stylish, quiet retreat. Vanco Construction can help you select materials and features that fit within your budget and suggest alternatives to improve the room’s function and style such as hanging an extravagant chandelier; add built-in heated towel bars or install a pass-through fireplace for ambience and warmth. You might also consider increasing the master bathroom's convenience by housing your washer and dryer, adjacent dressing rooms or even massage tables in the space. Additional finishing touches will add that extra bit of luxury to an already spa-like master bath remodel. Warming floors, sound systems and flat screens are becoming more popular in in-mirror models and the sound emanates from the glass shower door. Universal design in master bathrooms is the approach to accommodate people of all ages and abilities, which includes wider doorways, showers with no raised lip around the bottom, larger shower doors and more room around and under the counters/sinks. Universal elements such as grab bars now blend seamlessly into even the most luxurious master bathrooms. Vanco Construction can guide you and the remodeling of your master bathroom quickly, cleanly and within budget. Give us a call (973) 994-0616
