The private home, reminiscent of Maine lodges and family camps, was designed to be a sanctuary for the family and their many relatives. Lassel Architects worked closely with the owners to meet their needs and wishes and collaborated thoroughly with the builder during the construction process to provide a meticulously crafted home. The open-concept plan, framed by a unique timber frame inspired by Greene & Greene’s designs, provides large open spaces for entertaining with generous views to the lake, along with sleeping lofts that comfortably host a crowd overnight. Each of the family members' bedrooms was configured to provide a view to the lake. The bedroom wings pivot off a staircase which winds around a natural tree trunk up to a tower room with 360-degree views of the surrounding lake and forest. All interiors are framed with natural wood and custom-built furniture and cabinets reinforce daily use and activities. The family enjoys the home throughout the entire year; therefore careful attention was paid to insulation, air tightness and efficient mechanical systems, including in-floor heating. The house was integrated into the natural topography of the site to connect the interior and exterior spaces and encourage an organic circulation flow. Solar orientation and summer and winter sun angles were studied to shade in the summer and take advantage of passive solar gain in the winter. Equally important was the use of natural ventilation. The design takes into account cross-ventilation for each bedroom while high and low awning windows to allow cool air to move through the home replacing warm air in the upper floor. The tower functions as a private space with great light and views with the advantage of the Venturi effect on warm summer evenings. Sandy Agrafiotis

Pergola, outdoor kitchen, outdoor fireplace. We started with a blank slate, a new home with only dirt in the backyard. This young couple likes to entertain but dislikes maintenance. 1100 square feet of concrete, an outdoor kitchen with a raised bar, an outdoor gas fireplace with seat wall and a pergola shade structure was chosen. Careful attention to detail organized each of these items to compliment the other. From each aspect of the yard everything lined up, symetrically situated. Greg

This custom living room built-in was designed to create a clean, balanced focal point while adding substantial storage and display space. Spanning nearly the full width of the wall, the cabinetry features symmetrical open shelving, integrated base cabinets, and a recessed central area for artwork or a television. The lower cabinets provide concealed storage for media components, games, and everyday items, helping the living space stay organized while maintaining a refined appearance. The upper shelving was designed to showcase decorative objects, books, and personal pieces, giving the installation a curated, gallery-like feel. Built in our Jacksonville workshop, each cabinet was constructed with careful attention to proportion, spacing, and detail. The painted finish keeps the installation bright and timeless while allowing the architecture of the cabinetry to complement the surrounding room. The crown molding ties the cabinetry seamlessly into the ceiling, making the built-ins feel like a natural extension of the home’s architecture. This type of custom built-in media wall is ideal for homeowners who want the warmth and functionality of cabinetry without the look of freestanding furniture. By integrating storage, display, and media space into one cohesive design, the installation transforms the wall into a purposeful architectural feature. Custom built-ins like this allow every inch of the space to be thoughtfully designed for both aesthetics and daily living, creating a room that feels polished, organized, and uniquely tailored to the home.

Introducing this backyard remodeling project expertly completed by @seamlessconstruction.inc 's team in the heart of #LosAngeles The project starts with artificial turf welcoming you into the backyard, as per the client’s request, to replace the old driveway’ falling asphalt. Additionally, a strip drain system was added to address the issue of flooding in the ADU caused by heavy rain. To ensure seamless transitions within the backyard, adjustments in elevation were made and a striking set of new stairs were added designed with some under lights. It was crafted using Belgard pavers and Bullnose in graphite color, seamlessly blending with the overall landscape. Next to the ADU, a charming patio was constructed using Mexican tiles and grey grout, elegantly complementing the other side's design. The artificial turf area was thoughtfully created to add recreational space for the homeowners. A raised concrete pad in this section, also featuring Mexican tiles, is planned for future conversion into a spa and cold plunge area, awaiting installation of the amenities. A highlight of the renovation is the captivating fire pit area, decorated with Mexican tiles, matching with the concrete elements. This inviting space is expected to be a favorite spot, especially during colder nights. Throughout the project, careful attention was given to ensure that all elements blended cohesively. Thank you for watching and stay tuned for more exciting projects from Seamless Construction.
