A couple wanted a weekend retreat without spending a majority of their getaway in an automobile. Therefore, a lot was purchased along the Rocky River with the vision of creating a nearby escape less than five miles away from their home. This 1,300 sf 24’ x 24’ dwelling is divided into a four square quadrant with the goal to create a variety of interior and exterior experiences while maintaining a rather small footprint.
Typically, when going on a weekend retreat one has the drive time to decompress. However, without this, the goal was to create a procession from the car to the house to signify such change of context. This concept was achieved through the use of a wood slatted screen wall which must be passed through. After winding around a collection of poured concrete steps and walls one comes to a wood plank bridge and crosses over a Japanese garden leaving all the stresses of the daily world behind.
The house is structured around a nine column steel frame grid, which reinforces the impression one gets of the four quadrants. The two rear quadrants intentionally house enclosed program space but once passed through, the floor plan completely opens to long views down to the mouth of the river into Lake Erie.
On the second floor the four square grid is stacked with one quadrant removed for the two story living area on the first floor to capture heightened views down the river. In a move to create complete separation there is a one quadrant roof top office with surrounding roof top garden space. The rooftop office is accessed through a unique approach by exiting onto a steel grated staircase which wraps up the exterior facade of the house. This experience provides an additional retreat within their weekend getaway, and serves as the apex of the house where one can completely enjoy the views of Lake Erie disappearing over the horizon.
Visually the house extends into the riverside site, but the four quadrant axis also physically extends creating a series of experiences out on the property. The Northeast kitchen quadrant extends out to become an exterior kitchen & dining space. The two-story Northwest living room quadrant extends out to a series of wrap around steps and lounge seating. A fire pit sits in this quadrant as well farther out in the lawn. A fruit and vegetable garden sits out in the Southwest quadrant in near proximity to the shed, and the entry sequence is contained within the Southeast quadrant extension. Internally and externally the whole house is organized in a simple and concise way and achieves the ultimate goal of creating many different experiences within a rationally sized footprint.

When Tom and Michelle Stien decided to remodel their kitchen, they chose Advance Design Studio to make it happen. They were looking for an innovative design that would open up an awkward wall, and we're hoping to remove some half walls that closed off their family room. "Of all the people we had come and give us quotes for our project, ADS/Scott, was the only one who came in with an idea right off the bat for what we could do. His knowledge of design and code was evident from the start," said the Stiens.
The new design increased the seating area with a large peninsula, and the cooking area was expanded to accommodate Tom's cooking skills. A warming drawer was incorporated beneath a nearly hidden microwave drawer, along with a clever pull out for increased pantry storage. A built in message board area was custom designed for kids art and family communication. Roll out trays grace every base cabinet for easy pull out storage and a single floating shelf ties the contemporary kitchen design together. Starlight quartz countertops create ease of clean up, and the look is finished off with sharp gray and white mosaic backsplash tiles.
The Stiens really liked a clean modern look, so the new crisp transitional kitchen design incorporated bright white shaker cabinetry from Medallion with gray and metal accents along with a modern feel. "Scott's presentation of what we could expect with ADS was clear and concise. He gave us a great deal of confidence in how the project would be handled".
Homeowners are frequently concerned about project budgets that get quickly get out of control. "Scott's quote was well thought out, organized and offered options based on our budget," said Michelle. "I was worried about the project budget changing as we went through the process, but they did a good job managing the situation and minimized change orders as much as possible."
When asked about their overall experience with their kitchen renovation he Stien's said; "Scott, Justin, Matt and Jason were great! They were all very friendly, personable, responsible and trustworthy. Advance Design definitely met and exceeded our expectations. Remodeling is a very challenging process to endure, but ADS minimized discomfort and inconvenience as much as possible and kept on schedule. The end result was well worth the investment in time and money."

This bath remodel started with the desire for a mini-spa in a small footprint. With concise planning a precious 10 SF was added, ending up with 51 SF.
Everything that came into the new space was new, fresh and bold. A soaker tub (22” deep) was a must. A rain shower and a hand shower gave versatile water sprays. Unique accents shine like the embossed paisley low vessel sink. The tile on the floor was bold and accented with penny-rounds in tones of grey for the niche and splash. Other extras; a storage nook was made by cutting into the hall stair cavity, a great place for linens and necessities. General lighting was increased with a larger window, and a great lighted mirror.
This small spa is now bold, functional and enjoyed by these busy professionals.

West or east, home is the best. Happy, warm, harmonious home is the dream and target of people. How to decorate our home is very important. We have the experience that the bedding we saw in emporium is beautiful, but the effect does not good when we bring it home. This is because we do not choose bedding according to the color collocation of our dream bedrooms. Here are some classic color collocation methods for you:
Color collocation of light with dark: when the main color of your dream bedroom is light, such as white, light color bedding will make your bedroom feel pale, ordinary and have no sense of color. On the contrary, dark or bright color bedding such as chocolate, purple, green, yellow will make your space full of vitality. The collocation of light and dark color gives people strong visual impact. So when your dream bedroom have dark color as its main tone, light or bright color like white, pink, red and yellow goes well with it. The space will feel depressing if you use dark color bedding.
Color collocation method of similar color: it means choose bedding with similar color to the main color of bedroom. For example, when the main color of your dream bedroom is purple, white bedding with few purple decoration patterns is good choice. There would be no layering if you use bedding in large area purple.
Collocation method of matching complex with simple: if the decoration style of bedroom is complex, concise and elegant bedding goes well with it, or the space will be disorderly and unsystematic.
The intensity of lighting: light intensity is the factor that people often neglect. Avoid using dark color bedding in bedroom with dark light.
The relationship of whole and part: the main color of bedroom is whole, bedding color is part. A guest cannot usurp the host's role. So does the bedding. There should be primary and secondary in bedroom color collocation. Bedding color only plays the role of embellishing.
Take all the elements in bedroom into consideration: all the elements in dream bedroom – wall, furniture, floor, and bedding – should be considered. They should be in consistent.
We all know that color has the function of mood adjustment. We should choose color according to our actually needs.
Green and purple is good to soothe the nerves and relax people. Patient with phobia and schizophrenia can choose the two colors.
Light saffron yellow, blue and pink can make people exciting, happy and full of hope. Depression and anxiety disorder patient can choose them.
Cyan is good to produce sleepiness. It suit for those insomniac.
Besides, warm color bedding with thicker fabric suit to use in winter and autumn for the decrease of temperature.

I am glad to present a new project, Powder room design in a modern style. This project is as simple as it is not ordinary with its solution. The powder room is the most typical, small. I used wallpaper for this project, changing the visual space - increasing it. The idea was to extend the semicircular corridor by creating additional vertical backlit niches. I also used everyone's long-loved living moss to decorate the wall so that the powder room did not look like a lifeless and dull corridor. The interior lines are clean. The interior is not overflowing with accents and flowers. Everything is concise and restrained: concrete and flowers, the latest technology and wildlife, wood and metal, yin-yang.

The transformation of this kitchen is incredible!
The previous U-Shape design made the space appear cramped and closed off. A 60” wide window opening with bar top was created to allow natural light from the adjoining dining area to radiate throughout the kitchen. In doing this, the kitchen opened up significantly and is visually larger than before. A stainless steel farmhouse sink and dishwasher was installed into the space made available by the removal of the double ovens on the same wall.
Along the adjacent wall; a range with oven was installed so that the peninsula could be removed and a large island could be created. The new floorplan is efficient and chef friendly. It provides concise movement through the kitchen area and makes it a welcoming open space for everyone to gather.
The shaker style of the Waypoint cabinetry in Painted Linen are 42” in height and add clean lines to this contemporary design but also compliment the Glossy Arabesque Mosaic tile and Fairy White Quartz tops throughout the room. This all white kitchen is a dream come true for these homeowners and an inspiration project for any future clients interested in creating a white kitchen of their own.
If you’re dreaming about your white kitchen, we’re happy to assist you. The reality of it isn’t too far away.
