Sustainability topped the list at this NW CT vacation house along the Housatonic river. Eave projections were calculated to allow Winter sun in to heath the thick concrete floors, while blocking out excess Summer sun.

I am one of those artists than can, by eye, sort of scale up a photograph, transferring it to the wall without any calculations. I tend to work off of pictures or photographs. I love the process of looking at an image and painting what I see. SMZ3D

AFTER These 2 pictures clearly show the difference in the amount of space needed between a tank style heater and the on demand unit. The Rinnai unit installed here was an easy decision for our client once they used an online fuel savings calculator to figure out what there yearly savings would be.

For added support on a raised breakfast bar, metal plates are installed by the granite/quartz fabricator. This keeps the space more open for seater's knee space. Also needed if overhang calculations require it.

Radiant floor heat helps dry the floor after a shower. There is no shower curtain or enclosure. The pocket door provides privacy.

This is a 10' x 20' bedroom addition. The calculations show that the existing air-conditioner could handle the additional load and so no a/c upgrade was needed except a ceiling register drop. We installed two windows and made an opening for access in what was an exterior window.

This picture shows the new grilling area with space for the Green Egg, the new grill and the burner. As with all of our kitchens, the counter height is customized to our client. The counter height for this project was calculated to accommodate the primary cook who is 6'-9".

What a pleasure it is for a client to let me cart hardscaping off to the recycle center and replace it with compacted 250 sand-shell. Superior to more expensive shell, you can walk on it barefoot and it contributes zero to impervious surface permit calculations. But best of all is its ability to restore the authentic aesthetic of an island environ.

Functional studying area at PESO- the carefully calculated seat to desk height and the comfortable Wishbone chairs with back support allow for long hours of sitting and studying, which is important for a coffee shop for repeat purchase and returning customers.

Not your standard builder home. This project was on a custom lot with a unique shape. The design took some extra calculation work to maximize the footprint on the unique property. The large open concept home is designed to keep the family together. The gorgeous kitchen has plenty of storage and is connected to the dining room through the butler quarter containing a wet bar and huge walk in pantry. The open space is just waiting for friends and family to get together.
