This home design features considerations for safety and “age in place” including wide hallways, spacious bathrooms, wide doors, a storm shelter and no steps. It also features numerous upgrades to provide for a healthy living environment. The exterior of the home is primarily maintenance free, including vinyl siding, stone and composite decking. The interior has spacious living areas with wide doors and hallways with an upgraded trim package, high quality cabinets and quartz countertops throughout.

In this Minneapolis, MN Townhome the open concept Living Room had to blend with all the surrounding spaces while serving as a more formal seating area for guests. Brandi Hagen of Eminent Interior Design used two different sofas with similar fabrics along with a pair of matching armchairs to create the seating arrangement. Using beige and gray as the backgrounds for this Living Room, shades of green and blue were accented in the rug, pillows, artwork and fireplace accent wall. The over scaled stripe rug acts as an anchor to the room by pulling together the seating arrangement and defining the space in this open floor plan. Troy Thies Photography

The client was dismayed to discover their preferred commercial grade rubber playground floor tiles were financially infeasible for the small residential area (200 square feet). We researched and presented comparable soft, but durable, options for their consideration. They settled on a dark green commercial grade carpeting with extra trick padding that semi-resembles astro turf. The result is a soft, cushy feeling, which the client ultimately determined was preferable, as rubber would have created brush burns while children crawled.

This classic low country style home is located inside Bluffton’s Palmetto Bluff. The home was conceived as a retreat for its residents, and a connection to the outdoors from all major rooms was an important consideration. Despite 8000 square feet of conditioned space, the home retains an understated elegance due to carefully considered massing and design. Photographer: Richard Leo Johnson / Atlantic Archives

Set in Montana's tranquil Shields River Valley, the Shilo Ranch Compound is a collection of structures that were specifically built on a relatively smaller scale, to maximize efficiency. The main house has two bedrooms, a living area, dining and kitchen, bath and adjacent greenhouse, while two guest homes within the compound can sleep a total of 12 friends and family. There's also a common gathering hall, for dinners, games, and time together. The overall feel here is of sophisticated simplicity, with plaster walls, concrete and wood floors, and weathered boards for exteriors. The placement of each building was considered closely when envisioning how people would move through the property, based on anticipated needs and interests. Sustainability and consumption was also taken into consideration, as evidenced by the photovoltaic panels on roof of the garage, and the capability to shut down any of the compound's buildings when not in use.

Easy main floor living, including design considerations like wide walkways in kitchen, efficient work triangle, close proximity to powder room and laundry. Greatroom concept perfect for entertaining family and friends; vaulted ceilings offer additional scale and size. Excellent integration of kitchen, centralized dining, indoor-seating and large outdoor covered deck.

The much-prized addition to the building's renovation!! What was once a very prevalent feature in Venice's bygone days - see paintings by Canaletto and Guardi - has dwindled considerably due to the weather and refusal by the Comune to issue any new permits unless strict guidelines are met. After a lengthy review, permission was granted and the architect was able to design a new wooden structure in keeping with the historical features of the city. The wooden larch deck was handcrafted off-site, transported by boat and, with the aid of a crane, was gently hoisted into place atop new brick pylons. It fit perfectly, and now is much used for magical views over the neighborhood's canals, rooftops and bell towers!

This Chillcoots custom home overlooking the Fraser Valley is located in Rendezvous, near Winter Park, Colorado. The views looking west span from Byers Peak to Winter Park Resort ski area. Great care was taken into consideration for the exterior of this home, utilizing true reclaimed exterior materials obtained from a ranch and its barns in southwestern Colorado. To accent the reclaimed wood, we incorporated mixed materials such as rusted corrugated siding and a metal roof. The interior of the home is truly designed to be family-friendly.
