The property is one of the original farm houses located on the main street of a small town. It has been in the family for many years and our client just inherited the property. They were trying to have balance of preserving the old while realizing modern day living has its benefits too. The house had a large addition added using mostly old style materials, but designed with function and modern day luxuries. Our goal was to carry that theme to the outside.
Our first problem we had to address was how to transition between the first floor elevation changes. The lower room was the husband’s office. He stated in the future he may have clients over and it would be nice to have an area to sit outside. The wife’s main concern was to renew the four corner garden. She also felt it was very important to be able to see it from the kitchen area. Finally there was an old wishing well stuck right outside the kitchen. They both felt it would be neat to be able to incorporate this in some how. They wanted a patio area with a built in grill to accommodate there family and friends. They also wanted to keep a large play area for the kids.
We were able to pull this off successfully. We addressed the first issue by having a small lower level flagstone area. This area is large enough for 1 to 2 people to sit comfortably. It also provides a transition from his office to the larger patio area. We installed a simple small gravel sitting area opposite of the main patio. This provides our client a secluded place to relax or do business. Mrs.... told me she is amazed how much her and her husband enjoys this area. It is so peaceful looking at the small creek over a glass of wine.
We built a natural limestone retaining wall to create the patio terrace. The stone was chosen to extend the houses architectural elements into the landscape. Irregular broken flagstone was used to give it a more casual feel. We installed three Serviceberries into the patio terrace to replace some trees that were taken down during the remodeling. She was very concern that they would block the view of the four corner garden. We new they were crucial to nestle in the terrace, so we placed them for a couple days for her to decide. Fortunately she agreed they not only kept the view open, but helped frame the garden.
The four corner garden was designed to be viewed from afar and experienced up close. We wanted the space to have some formal structure while keeping with the casual farm house feel. Another natural limestone retaining wall was created. This leveled the garden terrace and helped associate it with the rest of the property. The four corner garden is nestled into the existing woods edge. This provides three distinct experiences to entering the garden; a more formal from the driveway, an open feel from the lower lawn, and a more natural / casual experience from the wooded area. The Plymouth brown gravel was used for the center of the garden. This helped highlight the stone post that was found during construction. The gravel also brings the sense of sound into the garden space. Lamb’s ear was chosen as a fun way to get kids interest in horticulture.
The balance of using the new to create the old feel is what makes this project a success. The property has already hosted a local historical society event and won an award for its preservation efforts. When Mrs.... can’t find her husband, she knows he is either reading the newspaper by the grill or resting in the hammock along the wood’s path.

"Kerry Taylor was professional and courteous from our first meeting forwards. We took a long time to decide on our final design but Kerry and his design team were patient and respectful and waited until we were ready to move forward. There was never a sense of being pushed into anything we didn’t like. They listened, carefully considered our requests and delivered an awesome plan for our new bathroom. Kerry also broke down everything so that we could consider several alternatives for features and finishes and was mindful to stay within our budget. He accommodated some on-the-fly changes, after construction was underway and suggested effective solutions for any unforeseen problems that arose.
Having construction done in close proximity to our master bedroom was a challenge but the excellent crew TaylorPro had on our job made it relatively painless: courteous and polite, arrived on time daily, worked hard, pretty much nonstop and cleaned up every day before leaving. If there were any delays, Kerry made sure to communicate with us quickly and was always available to talk when we had concerns or questions."
This Carlsbad couple yearned for a generous master bath that included a big soaking tub, double vanity, water closet, large walk-in shower, and walk in closet. Unfortunately, their current master bathroom was only 6'x12'.
Our design team went to work and came up with a solution to push the back wall into an unused 2nd floor vaulted space in the garage, and further expand the new master bath footprint into two existing closet areas. These inventive expansions made it possible for their luxurious master bath dreams to come true.
Just goes to show that, with TaylorPro Design & Remodeling, fitting a square peg in a round hole could be possible!

Dream Home Construction
Our client contacted us regarding their outdated bathroom. They could not handle
taking a shower in their “TOMB” shower anymore. They wanted to update their
bathroom giving it a streamlined look with a traditional touch.
Our client’s desires were:
• Wanted a large open shower
• Wanted a larger master closet
• Wanted a better way of excising the wall cabinet by the vanity
• They wanted to remove their Jacuzzi tub
After coming up with a design that satisfied the customer’s needs, we started the demo
process and ran into the first obstacle. Because of the construction of the original
closed shower, there was no moisture barrier used which caused the existing framing
and exterior sheathing to decay. We were also startled by what look like an expanding
black cloud of carpenter ants, when we opened up the wall.
After making the necessary repairs, we continued with the remodel which consisted of a
dramatic large shower, the large subway design, granite shelving along with the bronze
accent tile that enhances the over all look of the show er. It also gave it a larger
appearance with the custom glass enclose. Another concern we had after relocating the
shower to its new location, was that it was under an existing skylight. We felt that there
maybe a moisture concern especially during the winter months. To over come this
obstacle we installed an exhaust fan near the ceiling in the w all above the shower. We
painted the exhaust fan grill the same color of the walls, so the fan would not stand out.
To make sure that there would not be any problem with condensation around the
skylight , we trimmed the skylight with azek material.
We installed custom cabinets that reflected the look the client was trying to achieve.
During this process we over came our last obstacle by installing bi-fold style doors on
the wall cabinet next to the vanity, which would swing completely out of the way so the
customer could have full access to the slide drawers. The handles were placed on the
doors to make it look like a regular two door wall cabinet. The bi-fold action also
allowanced it to clear a wall sconce.

The brief was open plan living, separate work areas for each partner, large garage, guest accommodation, master suite to upper level with balcony to reserve, feature stone, sustainability and not a ‘McMansion’, but with a retro layered feel.
With the site presenting a very wide frontage to the north, the challenges were to get solar access to internal and external living spaces, whilst maintaining the much needed privacy, security and creating views to the reserve.
The resultant design presents a very wide northern frontage with a towering featured entry leading through to an extensive rear deck with views overlooking the reserve. Situated beside the entry colonnade with accessed also provided from the living areas, there is a screened northern terrace, with the featured screening duplicated on the garage façade.
The flat roofs feature large overhangs with deep angle timber fascias to enhance the extensive use of limestone and feature rock walls, both externally and internally. Flat solar panels have been employed on the upper roof, coupled with batteries housed within the garage area, along with the dogs comfortable accommodation.
This project presented many challenges to all concerned, but the process and the result were a labour of love for all that were involved.
