This Westlake, Ohio client needed to maximize the floor plan of their space. It had to be functional and comfortable enough for this growing family to lounge on the floor and play games, but also a space fit for entertaining, from children to corporate colleagues. ​Photos by Amanda Hemstreet Photography

A modern dining room design that combines both fancy and cozy in the most elegant and sophisticated way. An open space designed especially for the family of a business entrepreneur where he can entertain his business colleagues and have the most wonderful quality time with his family.

This small simple, elegant, garden house was designed by LandCurrent and constructed by Greg Morrow & Sons. The small structure is set within a sloping meadow. Native stones found during excavation have been used to form organic walls and steps. Planting of various varieties of lavender, sage, kinnikinnick and creeping euonymus seamlessly connect the garden to the existing meadow. The garden house was designed within the height and floor area that precludes the need for building permits. The pattern of window slits provide ample light and gives the garden house a contemporary look. LandCurrent is interested in designing small, elegant, and affordable landscapes and structures fit for today’s economy. This garden house was the recipient of the 2010 People's Choice Award and the 2010 Colleague's Landscape Architecture Award in Eugene, Oregon.

Hygge – pronounced "hoo-ga" – is coziness. A way of living that emphasizes the importance of simplicity and unwinding. It's hospitality and warmth. But at DIRTT, it also means a living lab. The home of co-founder and DIRTT CEO, Mogens Smed, is a giant test subject for the possibilities of prefabricated construction. The home demonstrates what's possible when traditional craftsmanship and modern technology combine. Complex angles and curves become a possibility. Exquisite finishes become reality when labor costs are flipped on their head. The home has become what it was meant to be all along; a place to gather with colleagues, Clients, family and friends to break bread and get to know one another.

This interdisciplinary project was a delight to collaborate with colleagues in architecture, interior design, and the client to build a luxury dream home landscape for this growing family. We focused on creating an interconnection between indoor and outdoors through a cohesive design. This project became a stately home that now sits proudly amongst other historical architectural gems in the neighborhood. Our team designed multiple terraces and outdoor living spaces, including a roof deck with porcelain tiles, custom planters, privacy screening, and fire features. An aluminum pergola system with lights and heaters was added to create an outdoor dining space to the terrace adjacent to the kitchen and primary living room. To top it all off, we added an irrigation system to the entire property to keep the landscape looking green and lush year-round.

These homeowners love to entertain family, friends and work colleagues but their existing floor plan kept hosts and guests awkwardly separated. By removing the preexisting imposing offending wall entirely, the design team was able to create an appropriate environment for entertaining. Perimeter cabinetry in Alabaster White adds to the sense of light and openness in a once-confined space. The contrasting Pecan finished island serves as a focal point for the room. Cambria Berwyn quartz countertops are highlighted by gorgeous Walker Zanger gray ceramic backsplash tile. Calcutta marble and wood water-jet mosaic add just the right amount of visual interest to this kitchen. 205 Photography
