Inside the shower, the tile’s subtle pattern catches the light and adds depth without overwhelming the space. A built-in bench is tucked neatly along the wall, offering both everyday practicality and a quiet, spa-like moment of pause. Matte black fixtures and hardware provide just enough contrast to ground the soft palette, while the clear glass enclosure keeps the room feeling open and airy.

THE SETUP Sam’s clients wanted to update their hall bathroom used by their three children. The goal was to create a space that is both kid-friendly and elegant, ensuring it remains functional and stylish as the children grow. The original bathroom felt confined due to dark materials and a single-sink vanity. The challenge was to find a design that looks great now and in the future. Design objectives: Create a sense of spaciousness Increase storage for bathroom necessities and daily routines Enhance lighting THE REMODEL Design challenges to be solved: No structural changes – must keep the tub and wall structure Transforming a small, dark space into a bright, open one without adding a new window Multi-user-minded – Improving functionality for multiple users simultaneously Timeless & kid-friendly – create a comfy kid-friendly look that won’t appear dated as the kids grow older THE RENEWED SPACE Design solutions: Slimmer Tub and Sliding Shower Door installed to free up functional space, making the bathroom feel larger. Lighter Materials used to reflect more light and add a vibrant feel. Open shelves above the toilet provide storage without making the space feel cramped, while allowing light from the existing window to permeate. Dual Sink Vanity added, and split the mirror into two, creating individual stations for the kids and enhancing usability during busy routines. Kid-Friendly Features – Incorporated toe-kick lighting that works as a nightlight, a lower-mounted shower handheld, and a large, accessible shower niche. The geometric shapes and blue color palette contribute to a fun yet sophisticated look. The clients are thrilled with the transformation. The bathroom is now fun and elegant, providing a timeless look that will grow with the kids. They appreciate the increased functionality and the bright, open feel of the space. This remodel successfully blends practical solutions with stylish design, ensuring the hall bathroom meets the needs of a busy family while maintaining a sophisticated look.

The project was divided into three phases over the course of seven years. We were originally hired to re-design the master bath. Phase two was more significant; the garden and parlor levels of the house would be reconfigured to work more efficiently with their lifestyle. The kitchen would double in size and would include a back staircase leading to a cozy den/office and back garden for dining al fresco. The last, most recent phase would include an update to the guest room and a larger, more functional teenage suite. When you work with great clients, it is a pleasure to keep coming back! It speaks to the relationship part of our job, which is one of my favorites. Photo by Christian Harder

This 30-year-old Aptos beachfront townhome was completely renovated. Our goal on this project was to take what had been a dark and closed in full-time residence and transform it into a lovely, open, and airy weekend beach retreat. This goal was fueled by our Silicon Valley clients’ desire for a nearby weekend escape from their busy schedules. Using their input and design ideas, we opened up the family room space structurally and lightened it aesthetically using a new electrical plan, softer interior colors, contemporary tile surfaces, new cabinetry, flooring and fixtures. The change from the old darker space to the lighter feel shown here was quite dramatic. The owners now have a beautiful and functional space in which to relax or host friends on the weekends and Holidays.

This lovely Nantucket-style home was craving an update and one that worked well with today's family and lifestyle. The remodel included a full kitchen remodel, a reworking of the back entrance to include the conversion of a tuck-under garage stall into a rec room and full bath, a lower level mudroom equipped with a dog wash and a dumbwaiter to transport heavy groceries to the kitchen, an upper-level mudroom with enclosed lockers, which is off the powder room and laundry room, and finally, a remodel of one of the upper-level bathrooms. The homeowners wanted to preserve the structure and style of the home which resulted in pulling out the Nantucket inherent bones as well as creating those cozy spaces needed in Minnesota, resulting in the perfect marriage of styles and a remodel that works today's busy family.

Basements & Cellars. Finishing Ideas! Turn your basement spaces into smart areas dedicated to leisure, hobbies, play areas, or entertainment. Unfinished basements are usually a headache for home and business owners, not just because of the waste of space and precious square footage, but because unused basements are more likely to deteriorate, accumulate humidity, mold, allergens, and endanger the overall foundations and structures when there is lack of maintenance. Improve and transform your space into an additional guest room, a custom-designed home office, a bar or an an entertainment room; add closets and storage space or contact us to help you with more ideas to give your basement a good make over!

A series of dramatic chandeliers — including those illuminating the two-story Great Room — add brilliance to this majestic welcome. From the engraved solid Mahogany entry door to the contemporary pivot side door, every detail honors both tradition and innovation. “We believe luxury is in the details — and every detail here was custom-designed for the family who lives in this home.” — TR Construction Group

10 years after the completion of the apartment tenant improvement in the J. Carroll building, the owner approached Isaman Design to work on the design and permitting for a private basketball court located on the second floor adjacent to the residential space. With private stair access from the parking lot, and interior connection to the main living area, it functions completely independently from the business operations in the rest of the building. The signature red storefront and contemporary corrugated metal siding give the addition an eye-catching pop, separating it from the rest of the CMU structure while still maintaining a cohesive aesthetic relationship. The interior is finished out to an extremely high level with fun signage and neon lighting. There is also a comfy courtside lounge with a sliding glass door that enables spectators to be involved in the action from the sidelines. We look forward to working on more commercial infill projects in the future!

Spaces Designed for Living Well The main floor features luxury porcelain floors throughout, leading into a Great Room crowned with a coffered ceiling and soft rope-lighting that creates an inviting glow in the evenings. TR Construction Group also installed a pair of fireplaces — one with Quartz Cemento, the other with richly textured Granite Breccia Imperiale Leather — sculpting warmth and visual strength into the heart of the home.
