The home consists of four bedrooms, each with a separate bathroom, and is designer decorated throughout with 18th and 19th Century European antiques (French, Italian, Swedish, and Dutch) from the owner's antique shop, Jacqueline Adams Antiques in Atlanta. Also many architectural antiques have been installed inside including all inside doors, and a very unusual set of support columns dated to a 17th Century portico of an important house on Montserrat Island and salvaged from the 2009 volcano eruption.

Our pioneer project, Casita de Tierra in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, showcases the natural building techniques of a rubble trench foundation, earthbag construction, natural plasters, earthen floors, and a composting toilet. Our earthbag wall system consists of locally available, cost-efficient, polypropylene bags that are filled with a formula of clay and aggregate unearthed from our building site. The bags are stacked like bricks in running bonds, which are strengthened by courses of barbed wire laid between each row, and tamped into place. The walls are then plastered with a mix composed of clay, sand, soil and straw, and are followed by gypsum and lime renders to create attractive walls. The casita exhibits a load-bearing wall system demonstrating that thick earthen walls, with no rebar or cement, can support a roofing structure. We, also, installed earthen floors, created an indoor dry-composting toilet system, utilized local woods for the furniture, routed all grey water to the outdoor garden, and maximized air flow by including cross-ventilating screened windows below the natural palm frond and cane roof. Casita de Tierra exemplifies an economically efficient, structurally sound, aesthetically pleasing, environmentally kind, and socially responsible home.

Inspiration for a transitional home design remodel in Chicago

This expansive addition consists of a covered porch with outdoor kitchen, expanded pool deck, 5-car garage, and grotto. The grotto sits beneath the garage structure with the use of precast concrete support panels. It features a custom bar, lounge area, bathroom and changing room. The wood ceilings, natural stone and brick details add warmth to the space and tie in beautifully to the existing home.

Cali is an unconventional bed made up of contrasting elements. An inconspicuous bed frame draws a slim line around the bed and the headboard consists of two large, soft cushions laying on a support. The bed frame stands on slim, metal feet, giving a feeling of total lightness.

Patio - mid-sized craftsman backyard concrete patio idea in Houston with a roof extension

The program consists of a detached Guest House with full Kitchen, Living and Dining amenities, Carport and Office Building with attached Main house and Master Bedroom wing. The arrangement of buildings was dictated by the numerous majestic oaks and organized as a procession of spaces leading from the Entry arbor up to the front door. Large covered terraces and arbors were used to extend the interior living spaces out onto the site. All the buildings are clad in Texas limestone with accent bands of Leuders limestone to mimic the local limestone cliffs in the area. Steel was used on the arbors and fences and left to rust. Vertical grain Douglas fir was used on the interior while flagstone and stained concrete floors were used throughout. The flagstone floors extend from the exterior entry arbors into the interior of the Main Living space and out onto the Main house terraces.

CLIZIA TABLE design by Adriano Rachele The Clizia series, which consists of colored interlocked squares in Opalflex® assembled manually, evokes the story of the mythological nymph who, repudiated by the Sun, becomes Elitropio. This range, fruit of operative hands that shape the techno polymer as if it were smooth silk, expands with an unusual and striking table version (consisting of 230 square in Lentiflex® supported by a colored base) and with MINI and LARGE versions of the ceiling/wall lamp and suspension. The various colors and many different types available will suit any room of the house, introducing the surprise of a soft geometric shape that seems created in a maison d’haute couture.

This is our Frameless Deus™ Entrada Xtreme corner enclosure. It consists of a panel notched over a tub deck on the left, a swing door, side panel, and a return panel on a 90 degree angle. A support bar is vertically mounted into the soffit or ceiling for the structural integrity of the enclosure. Clients have the option of a support bar when a panel is too large to hold the weight of a door, and they don't want the more traditional horizontal header. Glass to glass hinges and a 6" ladder pull handle are used for the door, while u channel and a corner clamp secure the stationary panels. 1/2" low iron tempered glass is chosen and the finish for all hardware is in chrome.

We gave this modern New York City loft a customized interior design. We wanted the space to be eye-catching yet elegant and uncluttered, so we focused on the unique walls and lighting. The walls are dressed in a custom plaster from Serpentine Studio, which so perfectly matches the Stone Source countertops. Glistening white flat panel cabinets and a glazed backsplash contrast beautifully with the matte gray color palette. Finally, we added in subtle metallic accents through the pendant lighting and Suite NY bar stools.

This 5,000 square-foot project consisted of a new barn structure on a sloping waterfront property. The structure itself is tucked into the hillside to allow direct access to an upper level space by driveway. The forms and details of the barn are in keeping with the existing, century-old main residence, located down-slope, and adjacent to the water’s edge. The program included a lower-level three-bay garage, and an upper-level multi-use room both sporting polished concrete floors. Strong dedication to material quality and style provided the chance to introduce modern touches while maintaining the maturity of the site. Combining steel and timber framing brought the two styles together and offered the chance to utilize durable wood paneling on the interior and create an air-craft cable metal staircase linking the two levels. Whether using the space for work or play, this one-of-a-kind structure showcases all aspects of a personalized, functional barn. Photographer: MTA
