This functional hillside pathway showcases the beauty and practicality of integrating natural materials into a steep terrain. Thick snapped stone steps are set into a compacted gravel path, offering a sturdy, rustic ascent through native grasses and wild vegetation. The stairs create a visually appealing transition between outdoor spaces while providing essential access across elevation changes. Boulder-style retaining blocks anchor the lower section of the slope, offering erosion control and structural stability.

We took out two awkward "U" shaped vanities & created one unified master vanity, with a large his and her's side. We removed a massive deck mounted tub, with glass blocks behind it, replaced it with a freestanding sculptural piece and a frosted updated window behind it. We also replaced the small shower with a large two person walk in steam shower. The back yard, pool & hot tub can now be accessed from the Master Bath, with the removal of a large window & replacing it with a pair of French Doors. We tried to create a spa & zen like feel thru out. Photo Credit: LBJ Construction.

Our client wanted a clean traditional design with access to the driveway and a seating area with a bench. Our design included a paver path leading to the main walk, stone edging, ornamental trees to accent the features of the house, and lots of ferns and iris to soften the landscape.

As readers of architect/designer Katie Hutchison’s book The New Cottage (Taunton Press 2018), these homeowners approached KHS about designing a second home in Westerly, Rhode Island. Theirs is a double-long lot with street frontage on both ends, a short walk from the water. In addition to the new house, their wish list included a new lap pool (with associated patio) and new garage. Aesthetically, they were looking to create an informally elegant, human-scaled family compound, engaged with the site and connected with the outdoors. They further requested sustainable features/systems and low-maintenance materials. In response, KHS proposed an ell-shaped house that wraps two sides of a lap pool/patio. A porch-fronted two-story gabled component faces the main street and is flanked by the one-story primary suite in one leg of the ell and the one-story kitchen and rear porches in the other leg of the ell. The house is an efficient +/- 2800 square-feet and contains four bedrooms and three and one half bathrooms. A salt-box inspired garage is detached so as not to increase the building massing. It helps shape outdoor spaces and doesn’t block daylight and direct exterior access from the house. It faces the secondary street. Driveways off both streets offer different modes of arrival. The south-facing roof of the two-story volume – which includes three bedrooms and two baths – and the south-facing one-story roof of the kitchen and rear porches, as well as the south-facing roof of the garage support 47 photovoltaic solar panels, providing the bulk of the property’s electric power. Two oversized exterior folding glass doors off the living area and kitchen blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, welcoming abundant daylight, views of the pool and patio, as well as summer breezes. An airy living/dining area includes a long custom window seat and borders a semi-open kitchen beneath a cathedral ceiling. Living area built-in shelving frames a TV and surrounds a modern efficient pellet stove. A cheerful interior palette of soft hues features pops of color, Scandinavian wallpapers, custom textiles, and a dash of warm wood accents in the form of counters, built-in desks, and custom furnishings. On the exterior, natural shingles side the main volume and environmentally friendly and durable Boral board-and-batten side the one-story components and garage, communicating a legible hierarchy of spaces. The overall effect is a breezy, crisp New England home, pool patio, and garage for today’s living.

Like any other hardworking area of your home, your garage can be an organizational powerhouse. Given the right storage elements, your garage can function as an extension of your mudroom, work bench and shed. When you create zones for organizing sports equipment, tools, or garden essentials, it’s easier to have quick access to seasonal items because they have a permanent home.

It all started with an unwelcome surprise for these homeowners: stray Lego down the shower drain. Without any other reasonable way to access second-story plumbing, the fiberglass shower had to be removed to make repairs. At that point, the owners figured they might as well take advantage of the opportunity to update their bathroom.

This is probably my favorite cabinet accessory. As you can see the functionality of pullout is incredible. It holds the necessary cooking tools readily available but off your counter tops. You can also add a magnetic lock so little hands can't access it - safety first folks. Photographs Taken by Libbie Martin
