Historic Swiss Avenue Kitchen Renovation Located in the heart of East Dallas, Swiss Avenue is renowned for its stately, historic homes that embody timeless elegance. Our recent kitchen renovation project at 5901 Swiss Avenue is a testament to preserving this charm while integrating modern functionality and style. Design Philosophy This kitchen embodies a transitional style with a strong nod to traditional elements, meticulously crafted to harmonize with the historical character of the home. The goal was to create a space that feels both contemporary and timeless, blending seamlessly with the home’s architectural heritage. Key Features and Materials • Countertops: The centerpiece of this kitchen is the stunning Cambria Portrush quartz countertops. With their luxurious marble-like veining, they provide a durable yet elegant surface that complements the overall aesthetic. • Sink and Faucet: At the heart of the prep area is the Kohler Whitehaven sink, known for its durability and classic appeal. Paired with a Newport Brass faucet, this combination ensures both functionality and a touch of sophistication. • Appliances: The kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances that marry modern convenience with sleek design. The range top from Wolf offers professional-grade cooking capabilities, while the Sub-Zero refrigerator and Cove dishwasher ensure seamless, efficient kitchen operations. Design Elements • Cabinetry: Custom cabinetry, finished in a crisp white, offers ample storage and maintains a clean, cohesive look. The brass hardware adds a touch of warmth and vintage appeal, tying in beautifully with the historic nature of the home. • Lighting: A striking chandelier over the island serves as both a focal point and a functional element, casting a warm glow that enhances the kitchen’s welcoming atmosphere. • Backsplash: The herringbone tile backsplash adds texture and visual interest, providing a modern twist on a classic design. Functionality and Flow The layout of the kitchen was carefully planned to optimize space and functionality. The central island not only serves as a workspace and gathering spot but also anchors the kitchen, creating a natural flow for cooking and socializing. Ample natural light streams in from the large windows, enhancing the bright and airy feel of the space. Preserving History Special attention was given to ensuring that the renovation respects the home’s historical roots. Elements like the detailed cabinetry and the choice of classic materials were selected to honor the traditional craftsmanship and aesthetic of Swiss Avenue’s historic homes. Conclusion This kitchen on Swiss Avenue is more than just a cooking space; it’s a blend of past and present, a tribute to the home’s storied past with all the conveniences of modern living. Whether for intimate family meals or entertaining guests, this kitchen stands ready as the heart of the home, a place where history and contemporary life beautifully coexist.

Harmonized with the refined architectural lines of Çeşme, this villa project is completed with the aesthetic and technical excellence of Serapool. The Piazza Cyan Series delivers a sophisticated depth to the pool surface through its gradient transitions from turquoise to deep blue. Surrounding the pool, Beige Stone porcelain terrace anti-slip tiles introduce a serene ambiance with their warm beige hues. All surfaces feature a water absorption rate below 0.5%, ensuring long-lasting durability. They exhibit high resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and thermal shocks. With a PTV ≥ 45° slip resistance rating, the outdoor flooring ensures maximum safety. Piazza Cyan outer trim and Beige Stone outer trim details preserve aesthetic continuity in curved areas. More than a swimming area, the project offers a comprehensive luxury experience where elegance, safety, and comfort coexist seamlessly through artfully designed surfaces.

Resort-Style Backyard Oasis: Modern Farmhouse Meets Five-Star Outdoor Living This extraordinary backyard transformation turns a sprawling wooded property into a private resort that rivals the finest luxury hotels — a complete outdoor living destination where every detail has been considered and every zone invites you to slow down, gather, and stay a while. The centerpiece is a breathtaking freeform pool of impressive scale, its organic, curvilinear shape designed to feel as though it was carved naturally from the landscape rather than constructed within it. The pool's deep, jewel-toned water — achieved through a rich dark mosaic tile waterline and a dark plaster finish — creates an almost lagoon-like quality that shifts from teal to deep blue depending on the light and angle. In-pool sun shelf loungers sit at the water's edge, allowing guests to lounge half-submerged on warm days, while a separate built-in spa nestled at one end completes the aquatic experience. The pool's surround is equally impressive. A generous travertine patio wraps the full perimeter of the pool in warm cream and honey tones, providing abundant space for multiple entertainment zones to coexist without ever feeling crowded. A sweeping row of premium chaise lounges with crisp white cushions lines one side of the pool, shaded by a series of elegant teak-framed market umbrellas that bring a Riviera-resort sensibility to the suburban backyard. The stone hardscape tells a particularly rich material story. Dry-stacked natural stone retaining walls curve generously around the lower elevation of the pool, their warm amber, rust, and gray tones echoing the travertine patio above and connecting the pool structure organically to the sloped terrain. Stone steps with flagstone treads descend gracefully between levels, and large natural boulders are thoughtfully placed throughout the landscaping — giving the entire environment the feeling of a discovered natural water feature rather than a constructed pool. A dedicated outdoor living room sits on the patio, anchored by a woven-rope lounge chair and a coordinating sofa with generous cream cushions, gathered around a sculptural concrete pedestal side table. The furniture selection — organic, tactile, and resort-caliber — creates a seating area that feels as comfortable and considered as any indoor living room, with the forest canopy serving as a natural ceiling above. Around the corner, a separate fire pit terrace provides a second distinct outdoor destination. A massive circular stone fire pit — built from the same dry-stacked natural stone as the retaining walls — sits at the center of a gathering space ringed by weathered teak Adirondack-style chairs with white cushions. This zone feels intentionally removed from the pool's energy, offering a quieter, more intimate space for evening gatherings and cooler nights. The house itself — a stunning modern farmhouse with white board-and-batten siding, exposed timber gable trusses, black-framed windows, and a covered back porch with timber posts — anchors the entire composition. The architecture and the landscape speak the same language: natural materials, clean lines, and an effortless relationship between indoor and outdoor living. A separate carriage house or garage structure in matching architectural style rounds out the property's exterior.

In this master bath remodel, we removed the standard builder grade jetted tub and tub deck to allow for a more open concept. We provided a large single person soaking tub with new wainscot below the panoramic windows and removed the traditional window grills to allow for a clear line of sight to the outside. Roman blinds can be lowered for more privacy. A beautiful chrome and black drum chandelier is placed over the soaking tub and co-exists wonderfully with the other fixtures in the room. The combination of chrome and black on the fixtures adds a little glam to the simplified design.

A family with a deep love for nature envisioned a place where generations of their family could come together, connect with nature, and create lasting memories. The master plan was to create a family campus featuring a main house for gathering, three "sibling" cottages, a boathouse, and a dock. The composition for each of these structures is to live, as a family, independently and also in relation to each other. The design revolves around the concept of coexistence with nature, catering to clients who lead an active outdoor lifestyle. The design aims to blur the interior spaces and the surrounding Maine landscape.

This project was driven by a commitment to sustainability and repurposing existing materials, seamlessly blending the old with the new while minimizing waste. The goal was to transform the backyard into a lush garden oasis with a low-water and low-maintenance design. Despite challenges posed by the property's proximity to the golf course and specific guidelines, a harmonious integration of desert plant life and low-water lush plants was achieved. Reusing existing materials and replacing natural grass with synthetic turf minimized water usage, while strategic plant placement utilized run-off water for sustainable irrigation. Navigating the constraints imposed by the Country Club, the project created a cohesive outdoor space and repurposed cobblestones to bridge the gap between the golf course and the rear of the property. This project achieved a balance between ecological consciousness and aesthetic beauty, allowing the garden oasis to coexist harmoniously with the golf course backdrop, providing the clients with a serene and vibrant landscape that aligns with their vision and respects the natural resources of the community.

modern mountain home captures the essence of rustic-meets-industrial in a minimal yet impactful way. Starting with a color palette inspired by our client’s love of white, gray and black, we created a home that is cool and hip for entertaining and family lake-side living. Industrial elements and rustic details coexist side by side, such as the striking black metal fireplace facing off against a custom oversized sectional and an antler chandelier in the central great room, while sheepskin throws casually top sleek mid-century-inspired dining chairs. Every room has a “wow” factor element, and the playful interiors are filled with graphic accents that express the family’s personality and history: a pantry door adapted from a shipping container lists family birth dates in place of the usual ports of call, a sliding door calls out the site’s original greenhouse, and IPhone photos are transformed into very personal bedroom murals. This is a mountain home, so durable outdoor fabrics abound, and a “snack shack” made from a glass garage door opens up to reveal an indoor/outdoor bar.

Experience spa-like sensibilities everyday. Sleek wall-hung vanity cabinet co-exists with beautiful glide-by technology, keeping a clean look and uncluttered space ready for each new day.

This thoughtfully designed home required multiple custom staircases, each blending farmhouse charm with contemporary elegance. Gleaming oak treads, substantial wooden newels, and floating white oak handrail systems create a look that's both traditional and refined. Each staircase seamlessly connects the home's strong farmhouse character with modern living spaces, proving that old-fashioned charm and contemporary design don't just coexist. They elevate each other. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company
