While the majority of APD designs are created to meet the specific and unique needs of the client, this whole home remodel was completed in partnership with Black Sheep Construction as a high end house flip. From space planning to cabinet design, finishes to fixtures, appliances to plumbing, cabinet finish to hardware, paint to stone, siding to roofing; Amy created a design plan within the contractor’s remodel budget focusing on the details that would be important to the future home owner. What was a single story house that had fallen out of repair became a stunning Pacific Northwest modern lodge nestled in the woods!

JDBG is wrapping up work on an expansive 2-story sunroom addition that also included modifications to the existing home’s interior and significant exterior improvements as well. The original project brief was to provide a conditioned 4-season sunroom addition where the homeowners could relax and enjoy their wooded views. As we delved deeper into our client’s overall objectives, it became clear that this would be no ordinary sunroom addition. The resulting 16’x25’ sunroom is a showstopper with 10’ high ceilings and wall to wall windows offering expansive views of the surrounding landscape. As we recommend with most addition projects, the process started with our Preliminary Design Study to determine project goals, design concepts, project feasibility and associated budget estimates. During this process, our design team worked to ensure that both interior and exterior were fully integrated. We conducted in-depth programming to identify key goals and needs which would inform the design and performed a field survey and zoning analysis to identify any constraints that could impact the plans. The next step was to develop conceptual designs that addressed the program requirements. Using a combination of 3-D massing, interior/exterior renderings, precedent imaging and space planning, the design concept was revised and refined. At the end of the study we had an approved schematic design and comprehensive budget estimates for the 2-story addition and were ready to move into design development, construction documentation, trade coordination, and final pricing. A complex project such as this involves architectural and interior design, structural and civil engineering, landscape design and environmental considerations. Multiple trades and subs are engaged during construction, from HVAC to electrical and plumbing, framers, carpenters and masons, roofers and painters just to name a few. JDBG was there every step of the way to ensure quality construction. Other notable features of the renovation included expanding the home’s existing dining room, incorporating a custom ‘dish room,’ and providing fully conditioned storage and his & her workrooms on the lower level. A new front portico will visually connect the old and new structures and a brand new roof, shutters and paint will further transform the exterior. Thoughtful planning was also given to the landscape, including a back deck, stone patio and walkways, plantings and exterior lighting. Stay tuned for more photos as this sunroom addition nears completion.

Our clients contacted us about purchasing a new home with the intention of renovating for it to suit their family’s needs. They wanted a house in a specific location and building new wasn’t an option. We worked with them to find a house suitable that we could make the perfect home for them. This project included completely redesigning the floor plan for an open concept and large addition over the garage to accommodate a master on-suite. The result was a home that fit the neighborhood perfectly and with 4 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms it can be their forever home. We were able to give them a new home feeling, while remaining under budget by using the existing structure as much as possible.

We love the volume and airy texture of this fixture. We let this fixture be the star, choosing just one other flush-mount for over the kitchen sink and doing cans elsewhere. Here, the shapes of the mirror and light fixture echo each other; we softened the metal surface of the table by adding soft textures in both the rug and the runner. Our goal was to bring the style and flare of the Midcentury Modern aesthetic back to the home, and since this dining room is adjacent to the kitchen, it became part of the overall design.

To accommodate grandma and grandpa, the master bathroom now includes a curbless shower and a convenient spot for the wheel chair under the sink. A ramp out front for wheelchair access and hardwood floor throughout. Added cubbies give the children the perfect spot to cuddle up with mom and dad for story time and mud room shelving and hooks to throw their forty-pound back packs after a long day of school Budget analysis and project development by: May Construction

We helped create this set of custom built-in bookshelves for a client’s New York City apartment. After a free initial consultation, we produced 3D renderings of the space to help visualize the design. Everything from measurements to installation of this custom piece was carefully planned with both time and budget estimates.

This small townhouse kitchen has no windows (it has a sliding glass door across from the dining nook) and had a limited budget. The owners planned to live in the home for 3-5 more years. The challenge was to update and brighten the space using Ikea cabinets while creating a custom feel with good resale value.

This total kitchen remodel, down to the studs. Our team handled the full design and renovation, including re-routing plumbing and electrical to accommodate the new floor plan. We also opened up the wall to the living room and put in a new door to the laundry room. We were working to accommodate for existing dining table in the kitchen. We chose to go with formica countertops for budget, aesthetic and durability reasons.
