This Craftsman style house went from 1950s split-level to contemporary design featuring a large family room with oak truss ceiling, outdoor decks and a walk-out basement. We used most of the existing foundation and first-floor perimeter walls and embraced the narrow, deep lot. This was a Design Build speculative house that started a trend of upgrading the entire street.

This master bathroom was a such a pleasure to design. The split level marble vanity adds depth and character to the space. Polished nickel hardware keeps the space feeling classic along with the polished nickel drawer handles. Crystal knobs add a splash of elegance alone with the beaded oval nickel bathroom mirrors. The polished nickel wall sconces feel like they where original to the house. Subway tile was used in the shower and the face of the bathtub to keep with historical design elements of this 1906 beauty.

The basement bathroom of this 1975 split level needed some updating. The homeowner had found a few inspiration photos and a great natural stole tile that she wanted to use in the bathroom. we used the color variation of the stone to select the rest of the materials for the space. the existing bathroom had a small fiberglass shower and a linen cabinet at the back. we tore all of the of that out and installed a new larger tiled shower with a custom niche, grey pebble floor tile and rain textured glass panel. The toilet and vanity remained in the same location, but we shrunk the size of the vanity to make it more proportionate to the room. the new vanity was installed with a granite top, a natural stone tiled backsplash that continued to the ceiling, a coordinating mirror and square brushed nickel sconces.

Designed by London-based architecture firm Alma-nac, the property, which is called the Split House, replaces a 1950’s bungalow and run-down barn in the village of Fairlight, on the southern coast of England. The owners wanted to create a highly sustainable home which took advantage of its hilltop location. As a result, architect firm Alma-nac designed the property to extend out in three different directions, providing stunning views of the sea and nearby Dungeness headland. The architects specified Accoya to construct the external windows, window reveals and doors for the stylish property. 38 Accoya fixed and opening windows were installed, as well as 22 glazed door leafs. The doors and windows will require little maintenance over their lifetime due to the process in which the wood is made. The acetylation process, which is used to toughen the wood, delivers outstanding levels of performance, stability and durability. Caspar Rodgers from Alma-nac commented: “We chose Accoya because we wanted to build using eco-friendly materials that could withstand the variable weather conditions that are characteristic of England’s southern coast. Accoya is well-respected within the industry as a highly sustainable product that has high levels of durability and stability so we knew it would be the ideal material for the job.”

As in the brown bathroom, the rear wall tile with its pink detail was in good shape but the tile on the short walls needed to be replaced. Also like the other bathrooms, the wall tile was extended around the entire room. Chad Shiflett
