The layout of this early 90’s home was adequate for the husband when he was just living there. However, now the family of three and their loving cat live there together; the space quickly became confined and inadequate. The Clients contacted us to discuss what their options may be to help the home feel more spacious. After a few weeks of design and engineering, we went to work on opening up the first floor to increase the size of the rooms while creating continuity with the adjoining rooms. A once tired and confined layout became a spacious, comfortable, & aesthetically pleasing space to live and entertain.

The client’s main focus for this project was to update their two-story open-concept window wall. We used a combination of Andersen’s large bi-parting doors and flanking fixed glass panels on the first floor. On the 2nd floor, we used new glass inserts.

The thatched roof is the very first attribute of the Ukrainian mud hut house - mazanka. This means that this material is very connected with our Ukrainian culture. Reed walls are a tribute to culture. There are already more modern technologies for the roof and we should not go to such architectural extremes as making a thatched roof in the 21st century. Therefore, it makes sense to consider reeds as a facing material for walls.

The engineered quartz waterfall countertop on the oversized island serves as the focal point of the open-concept kitchen. Sleek cabinetry, loads of white and cool gray tones create a minimalist feel, while the wide-plank floors bring some warmth to the space. With ReAlta, we are introducing for the first time in Charlotte a fully solar community.

An exciting children water play concept executed at the premier Lodha World Towers, where science blends effortlessly with excitement and fun. We appreciate Lodha Group for trusting Valerius to execute first of its kind project in India in collaboration with Timber Play UK. The project comprises of Archimedes Screw, Ball Valve, Paddle Pump and many more equipment. The complexity in the design was to provide water at different pressures to each equipment as specified by the manufacture to obtain the desired water effect. Secondly being children play area the water quality also had to meet stringent quality parameters to ensure safety and hygiene. Lodha Group is one of the largest real estate developer and is known to provide not only world class amenities but also such exclusive living experience to its customers.

When we first met these clients, they had a tiny closed-off kitchen and a big, expanding family. They hated that it was so small, tucked away, and blocked the gorgeous mountain views from inside the home. This family wanted a complete remodel to make their closed-off kitchen larger, open-concept, and high end. To achieve their vision, the JRP Design team removed interior walls and extended the exterior wall out into the existing deck and dining room; this would allow for the current kitchen to expand and create room for a large kitchen island, big enough to seat the entire family. Steel beams would also need to be added to support this square footage addition. Since the extension would eliminate the present deck outside, the outdoor space was reconfigured to include a new deck with designated areas to both dine and mingle near the pool. Large bi-fold doors allow for a seamless flow between the indoors and deck area when open and panoramic views of the mountains when shut. Crisp white cabinets and luxurious quartz countertops serve as the icing on the cake for this kitchen renovation to deliver the high-end finish our clients desired.

Bathroom - contemporary bathroom idea in Cleveland

Complete first floor remodel. We removed a wall and made the existing openings larger to give the space a more open feel yet still warm and inviting. We used custom milled mixed width white ash floors with a commercial grade water based finish, custom cabinets, quartz countertops, Lepage widows and doors and hand made tiles.

This contemporary living room is centered around a striking fireplace accent wall, designed to anchor the space while adding warmth and visual depth. Flanked by custom built-in arches, the design introduces a soft architectural element that contrasts beautifully with the clean lines of the surrounding space.

In this newly renovated kitchen, we laid LVP flooring in a warm color across the entire first floor to unify the spaces and enhance the open concept. The new kitchen cabinets in color Seal and White, go to the ceiling with a large crown and create a space that feels warm, inviting, and stylish. Although simple in color and shape, the white subway tile used in the backsplash created a picket fence pattern that gives the wall more dimension. For contrast and as an accent piece we decided to go for Seal for the wood hood in the back wall. For a more elevated look the hardware is antique gold. The fireplace tile is ceramic made to look like a type of black marble with striking white and gold veining and is laid to the ceiling to elongate the wall. The room looks larger since we took down the left-side alcove wall that blocked the view into the living room. From the kitchen, we can get a peek into the powder room, where again we have gold, black and white accents to bring the rooms together.
