The bathroom, with only 3.6m2, was designed to include the three essential components of a common bathroom: the shower area, the toilet and the washbasin. The strategic configuration of the sanitary ware and accessories, the placement of a large mirror (which increases the feeling of space) and the furniture design are some of the factors that contribute to the best use of space.

The gently curved profile of the Ola cabinet creates a dramatic home theater. The cabinet features substantial top and bottom panels and curved glass doors that appear to wrap around the sides of the cabinet. The open center compartment has an adjustable shelf for use with a speaker, media or additional components. Features include grey tinted glass doors that are IR-remote compatible, hidden wheels for ease of movement, and flow-through ventilation to keep components cool.

This project won in the 2013 Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh Housing Excellence Award for Best Urban Renewal Renovation Project. The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house. George Mendel

Bridge/drive design complying with City of Atlanta Watershed regulations and State of Georgia EPD criteria was an essential component in realizing the project. • All non-native and invasive plant species were removed. Native plants now populate the landscaping, reducing runoff, lowering maintenance and, to the ecology of the neighborhood, contributing a Doug Tallamy style homegrown national park

Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean climate and bold architecture of the home, a garden exhibiting strength and simplicity was envisioned. A highly geometric design was developed for the site that utilizes bold forms and strong architectural lines to give structure and organization to the garden. Simple, honest materials such as concrete, wood, gravel and stone are fundamental components of the design. Decomposed granite is utilized to create walkways and a circular gathering space, providing a casual feel and providing balance to the strong forms of the garden. Stone display terraces in back contribute to the sculptural layout of the garden, while providing space for the owner’s collection of garden art.

Located in, Summit Park, Park City UT lies one of the most efficient houses in the country. The Summit Haus – designed and built by Chris Price of PCD+B, is an exploration in design and construction of advanced high performance housing. Seeing a rising demand for sustainable housing along with rising Carbon emissions leading to global warming, this house strives to show that sensible, good design can create spaces adequate for today’s housing demands while adhering to strict standards. The house was designed to meet the very rigid Passiv House rating system – 90% more efficient than a typical home in the area. The house itself was intended to nestle neatly into the 45 degree sloped site and to take full advantage of the limited solar access and views. The views range from short, highly wooded views to a long corridor out towards the Uinta Mountain range towards the east. The house was designed and built based off Passiv Haus standards, and the framing and ventilation became critical elements to maintain such minimal energy requirements. Zola triple-pane, tilt-and-turn Thermo uPVC windows contribute substantially to the home’s energy efficiency, and takes advantage of the beautiful surrounding of the location, including forrest views from the deck off of the kitchen.

Our designer has achieved a stylish look by combining dark cabinets and light-colored marbles.

Light wood cabinetry provides abundant storage throughout the kitchen, contributing to the airy and uncluttered aesthetic. The contrasting white countertops extend along the perimeter, offering generous workspace for cooking and meal prep.

Complicated design elements all confluence with the stairs, banisters and newel posts. They were planned in proportional relationship and are appropriate to the scale of the stairwell area. With an equal nod to both the aesthetics and function, the stair detail employs finger joints between the stair risers while the larger rectangular pegs along the length of each board contribute solid integrity to the construction design. The edges of all components are softened for touch and visual appeal. Mechanical fasteners are not employed to support the railing or stairs—here, highly engineered wooden mortise, tennons and pegs do the work. On this design point, beauty, function and Japanese influence are brought forward.

Unsurprisingly, North University is a proposed historic district. This home honors that identity as a contributing component. But contemporary detailing, clean lines, stainless steel appliances, non-figurative art, and blue-green color palette locate the project firmly in the present. The big yellow slide from the playroom to the kids room adds a touch of whimsy, while the rectilinear pool in the side yard provides hours and days of fun for a home that will stand at least another 100 years.

Aesthetic Value: The subtle lines and light color of the radiata pine stringer model spiral provide nice contrast with the eccentric iron balustrade. Laser cut Tinkerbells and abstract Mickey Mouse and fireworks elements contribute unique detail. Stair Safety: The balustrade rejects a 4" sphere in all areas despite the complex detail of the components and floating rail above the laser cut elements. Quality: The balustrade features predominantly laser cut sections fabricated with minimal visible welds and custom finished in-house with a three step guilders paste application. Technical Challenge: Creating the complex ironwork design in a way that has aesthetically pleasing sections that fit the theme and space. Attention to meticulous details that convey the theme even at deepest levels of observing the stair.

Marvel at the meticulously curated elements in this culinary masterpiece. From the striking statement pendants to the captivating navy blue island adorned with ship lap details, the timeless appeal of rift white oak, and the sleek presence of a white range hood, each component plays a harmonious role in crafting a symphony of design. This modern-organic kitchen is a testament to culinary refinement and aesthetic excellence, where every detail contributes to an orchestrated beauty that captivates the senses.
