“Whole house remodel” is a pale description of this home’s complete re-imagining collectively achieved by architect Marty Buckenmeyer, interior designers at bright designlab, and builder Hammer & Hand. After clearing out the segmented living room walls and design stylings hailing from the 70s and 80s, H&H built a modern dwelling with an addition, open living and kitchen area, and eclectic details throughout. All new double-paned windows running the length of the common area wall brighten the space with treetop-framed views of Portland beyond.
Hammer & Hand’s carpenters flexed their skills with many fine carpentry details including a custom metal bomber door produced by our woodshop, wood-panel wall with grain-matched hidden pop-out doors, and a steel and concrete fireplace hearth with built-in cabinets.

This solid walnut media center can proudly be the center of attention in any living room. The legs definitely steal the show. The meticulous process of cutting, steaming, and bending the wood can only be done by hand with extreme care and skill. They make this piece truly unique. The doors are made from a continuous piece of wood so when they are open you will see that the grain flows from one side to the other, just one of the many meticulous details in which we take pride.
Mitered edge joints highlight the continuous grain that flows from the top of the piece down the side.
Contrasting maple dovetails add strength and demonstrate the precision and craftsmanship in the construction of this piece. Handmade in San Diego, California.

Making a real impression by designing & building with exceptional people is exactly the effect JL Design & the client as owner-builder have achieved with “Scarborough House” in Scarborough, NSW. The brief required the dwelling to take maximum advantage of stunning views over the ocean & nearby escarpment cliffs. The residence was also to be a contemporary modernist four bedroom family dwelling, maximising built external living & pool areas. The client was extensively involved with the overall design, & carried out material selection, interior detailing and selection of fixtures and fittings. This collective method guaranteed a result where the client as the builder, through continued personal investment throughout the design and construction achieved a stunning result. The concrete, steelwork, windows, timber & various forms of cladding, joinery and concealed lighting are all custom made hand crafted elements. The design called for minimal tolerances, requiring a high level of skill and cooperation between trades. “Scarborough House” features BlueScope Colorbond monument matt ribbed wall cladding with rendered & ‘rendered look’ areas in off-white. A vertical feature hardwood timber screen to the side of the entry softens the ‘industrial’ feel, giving a modernist external appearance. Carefully calculated overhangs allow a passive solar solution to heating & cooling, with efficient reverse-cycle air conditioning required only during weather extremes. Internally, timber floors to the upper living areas give a feel of comfort & warmth. The warm, substantial character of the dwelling is carefully composed by means of the clarity of the detailing, a palette of tactical natural materials and the careful manipulation of light.

Stunning Backyard Transformation: 2400 Square Feet of Elegance
We’re thrilled to showcase our latest project, completed during the week of November 18, 2024—a breathtaking 2400-square-foot backyard makeover paired with a swimming pool renovation. This project highlights the perfect blend of functionality, luxury, and natural beauty, all brought to life by our skilled team.
One of the standout features of this transformation is the use of Pennsylvania Bluestone, a timeless and versatile material. The Bluestone was meticulously installed throughout the patio and walkway areas, bringing a cohesive and elegant look to the outdoor space. Even the firepit cap was crafted using Pennsylvania Bluestone, ensuring every detail aligned with the high-quality vision for this design.
The original patio was a mix of outdated materials, including old flagstone, stamped concrete, and plain concrete. By replacing these with Pennsylvania Bluestone, we created a seamless and sophisticated outdoor retreat. The result is a backyard that not only elevates the aesthetic appeal but also increases the property’s value and functionality.
For a closer look at this incredible transformation, we invite you to browse our collection of before-and-after photos. Witness how this backyard evolved from a dated, mismatched space into a stunning outdoor oasis, perfect for relaxation and entertainment.
If you’re inspired to begin your own outdoor makeover, let us bring your vision to life. Contact us today! https://www.arnoldmasonryandlandscape.com/contact

We recently took on an exciting whole-home renovation for this lovely historic Trinity in Center City Philadelphia. Originally built in the mid-1800s, the house footprint is just over 17’ x 13’. As is typical of this type of 3-story house, the kitchen is located in the basement, making this house four floors of occupied space with overall square footage totaling just under 900 square feet.
The homeowner felt the former kitchen was cramped, dimly lit, and inefficiently designed, and she was in search of help in bringing her artistic vision for the space to life, blending both old and new elements through an exciting mix of textures and character. High on her priority list was integrating her wonderful collection of objects gathered from her travels around the world.
We brought our design skills and construction experience to the team, working with the homeowner and the designer to develop a host of creative solutions, including the installation of an Indonesian screen as a sliding door covering a newly reconfigured utility area, which includes a new on-demand hot water heater, mounted next to a new electrical panel with ample room for service and access.
Other Noteworthy Features and Solutions:
New crisp drywall blended with original masonry wall textures and original exposed beams
Custom-glazed adler wood cabinets, beautiful fusion Quartzite and custom cherry counters, and a copper sink were selected for a wonderful interplay of colors, textures, and Old World feel
Small-space efficiencies designed for real-size humans, including built-ins wherever possible, limited free-standing furniture, and no upper cabinets
Built-in storage and appliances under the counter (refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer, and microwave drawer)
Additional multi-function storage under stairs
Extensive lighting plan with multiple sources and types of light to make this partially below-grade space feel bright and cheery
Enlarged window well to bring much more light into the space
Insulation added to create sound buffer from the floor above

We are excited to announce the new feather in our cap. Tejjy Inc.'s latest government project- partnering with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Canine Training Center. This project involved the detailed scanning of the facility along with newly deployed HVAC design.
Our brief was to provide an accurate and precise detailed as-built model of the existing Canine Training Center of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This was needed to plan and execute the renovation of the facility and to ensure functional HVAC system across the structure.
Our challenge was to ensure minimal disturbance, as the training facility was fully functional, and activities were ongoing. To tackle this our expert team scheduled scanning and renovation processes and achieved minimal disruptions.
Our skilled professional workforce utilized advanced Leica 3D Laser scanning to reality capture precise measurements of the existing structure. The precise point cloud data collected during our non-invasive scanning process was converted into an as-built 3D model. We crafted a Revit model with LOD 300 representing the current geometry of the training center.
These accurate deliverables provided by Tejjy enabled the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to efficiently plan and execute the HVAC renovations. Tejjy's advanced 3D laser scanning services aided in magnifying the facility's comfort and operational efficiency.
This project reflects our commitment to providing top-tier design solutions for government facilities, enhancing operational efficiency and infrastructure longevity.

This opulent interior in the heart of Salt Lake City blends exquisite craftsmanship with the utmost comfort. We jumped at the possibility to fulfill our client's vision when they came to us seeking for a lavishly elegant second home. "Wow" was the only thing they asked for during the entire project. What more could a designer possibly want? It was essential to bring both a strong skill set and a lot of imagination. We delved deeply into atypical materials and methods and spent almost six months just perfecting the palette. We created a singularly gorgeous home with amazing architectural elements and luxurious furnishings after closely collaborating with our most reliable local craftsmen and builders.

I, Cooper (Owner of Star D Services, LLC) hung each and every one of those mounts and pictures etc. Every few Months or so I go back to take down the smallest ones (or whichever the customer wants) and swap them out for his son's newer bigger mounts. Always adding to the collection. The mounts are not a millimeter off from one mount to the next or from one wall to the next.
I don't have pictures anymore from 2015 but we also helped a Master Carpenter and planed and installed the wood floor as well as much more carpentry work to complete the building.
