The complete Ava collection is designed to look minimalistic while having functionality to make everyday life much more convenient. We seamlessly integrated a spring mechanism to lift the tabletop with little effort. The end tables can charge any 2 devices connecting through USB ports at the same time while being capable of powering up a lamp. Invite your friends and family for a cup of coffee and enjoy chatting as they compliment your sleek, minimalist, and functional coffee table and end tables.

Kevin Reeves, Photographer Updated kitchen with center island with chat-seating. Spigot just for dog bowl. Towel rack that can act as a grab bar. Flush white cabinetry with mosaic tile accents. Top cornice trim is actually horizontal mechanical vent. Semi-retired, art-oriented, community-oriented couple that entertain wanted a space to fit their lifestyle and needs for the next chapter in their lives. Driven by aging-in-place considerations - starting with a residential elevator - the entire home is gutted and re-purposed to create spaces to support their aesthetics and commitments. Kitchen island with a water spigot for the dog. "His" office off "Her" kitchen. Automated shades on the skylights. A hidden room behind a bookcase. Hanging pulley-system in the laundry room. Towel racks that also work as grab bars. A lot of catalyzed-finish built-in cabinetry and some window seats. Televisions on swinging wall brackets. Magnet board in the kitchen next to the stainless steel refrigerator. A lot of opportunities for locating artwork. Comfortable and bright. Cozy and stylistic. They love it.

This island is multi-leveled to serve multiple functions: a bar height eating area allows guests to chat with the cook as she prepares meals. With a secondary bar sink and steam oven built into the island, vegetable storage tucked neatly below, this island is truly an extension of the working areas of the kitchen.

While she had come to terms with the idea that she probably needed to tear everything out to get what she wanted, as we chatted it became clear that such dramatic change (and expenditure) would not really be necessary. The space functioned well, the counter top and the black and yellow tiles made her happy, the appliances were all functioning well, and so on.

A home where tradition, art and innovation reside; and the design reflected just that. JALLI ALL THE WAY – BAR/DEN. The jalli is a 7th century bc tradition ; From providing privacy to women in Rajasthani forts, to now being used as paneling for shutters for pure aesthetics ….the function may have evolved but the charm remains the same.
