The open space plan on the main level of the Prairie Style home is deceiving of the actual separation of spaces. This home packs a punch with a private hot tub, craft room, library, and even a theater. The interior of the home features the same attention to place, as the natural world is evident in the use of granite, basalt, walnut, poplar, and natural river rock throughout. Floor to ceiling windows in strategic locations eliminates the sense of compression on the interior, while the overall window design promotes natural daylighting and cross-ventilation in nearly every space of the home.
Glo’s A5 Series in double pane was selected for the high performance values and clean, minimal frame profiles. High performance spacers, double pane glass, multiple air seals, and a larger continuous thermal break combine to reduce convection and eliminate condensation, ultimately providing energy efficiency and thermal performance unheard of in traditional aluminum windows. The A5 Series provides smooth operation and long-lasting durability without sacrificing style for this Prairie Style home.

Achieving an Elegant Décor with White Carrara | New York | New Jersey
White Carrara is formed by heating and compressing limestone. This happens under natural conditions in Carrara hills of Italy. Because of its natural flare, Italian Carrara has been widely used to decorate households as well as businesses all over the world. But you don’t have to always read about Carrara marble tile in magazines or review articles; you can definitely have it installed in your house right away!
A pristine metamorphic tile discovered early enough to be voted as one of the best tiling material in modern age, it comes with a very unique profile you won’t see in most tiles. The surface has a white and grey background blending in with gray veins creating amazing undertones amid the colors in your living room, bathroom or kitchen.

“Compelling.” That’s how one of our judges characterized this stair, which manages to embody both reassuring solidity and airy weightlessness. Architect Mahdad Saniee specified beefy maple treads—each laminated from two boards, to resist twisting and cupping—and supported them at the wall with hidden steel hangers. “We wanted to make them look like they are floating,” he says, “so they sit away from the wall by about half an inch.” The stainless steel rods that seem to pierce the treads’ opposite ends are, in fact, joined by threaded couplings hidden within the thickness of the wood. The result is an assembly whose stiffness underfoot defies expectation, Saniee says. “It feels very solid, much more solid than average stairs.” With the rods working in tension from above and compression below, “it’s very hard for those pieces of wood to move.”
The interplay of wood and steel makes abstract reference to a Steinway concert grand, Saniee notes. “It’s taking elements of a piano and playing with them.” A gently curved soffit in the ceiling reinforces the visual rhyme. The jury admired the effect but was equally impressed with the technical acumen required to achieve it. “The rhythm established by the vertical rods sets up a rigorous discipline that works with the intricacies of stair dimensions,” observed one judge. “That’s really hard to do.”

This is an example of a traditional backyard outdoor basketball/tennis/multi-game court in Denver.

This Cedarfield project consisted of siding and window replacement. All of their windows were replaced with new Simonton windows, but the home’s original exterior consisted of Masonite siding and needed to be replaced as well. This type of siding is made from wood fibers held together with glue or resin and often runs into problems like abnormal bulges or blistering, when the layers of compressed wood particles separate from within or general deterioration. As the Queen City’s qualified installation company for a full array of James Hardie products, these homeowner’s contacted Belk Builders to replace their siding with HardiePlank – which offers maximum durability, resistance to prolonged exposure to moisture contact, a long-lasting low-maintenance finish and a 15-year limited warranty to protect against peeling, cracking and chipping. We primed and painted it in the color choice of the homeowner for a stunning finish.

Eichler X-100 Entry: A Threshold Between Architecture and Experience
The entry to the Eichler X-100 is not a conventional front door—it’s an intentional transition, a carefully choreographed sequence that shifts you from the outside world into a fully immersive architectural environment.
Designed by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons for Joseph Eichler, the entry reflects a core principle of Eichler design: arrival should be felt, not just seen.
A Garden Before the Door
Rather than approaching a traditional façade, visitors are guided into an entry courtyard—a private, inward-facing space that immediately softens the transition from street to home. This space acts as a buffer, both visually and emotionally, creating a sense of calm and separation.
The path is often defined by concrete stepping pads set within planted areas, reinforcing the home’s circular and geometric design language. Movement becomes deliberate—slowed, grounded, and connected to the landscape.
Light as a Guide
Above, translucent skylights filter natural light into the entry sequence, creating shifting patterns of brightness and shadow throughout the day. This interplay of light transforms the entry into something dynamic—never static, always evolving.
Rather than a single moment, the entry unfolds over time.
Blurring Interior and Exterior
The X-100’s entry challenges the idea of where the home actually begins. With interior gardens visible from the moment you arrive, the boundary between outside and inside becomes intentionally ambiguous.
Glass, open sightlines, and planted spaces work together so that by the time you reach the front door, you are already inside the architectural experience.
A Compressed-to-Open Reveal
True to mid-century modern design principles, the entry creates a subtle sense of compression before release. The approach is quiet and modest—almost understated—before opening into the expansive, light-filled interior beyond.
This contrast heightens the impact of arrival, making the interior feel even more dramatic.
A Philosophy of Arrival
The Eichler X-100 entry is not about grandeur—it’s about intention. It invites you to slow down, to notice light, material, and landscape, and to engage with the home on a deeper level.
It’s a reminder that in great architecture, even the act of entering becomes part of the design itself.
