The home owners were particularly focused on the budget for this project, therefore, the designer, project manager and trades worked together to come up with creative solutions that would not compromise quality and allow for the best product to meet the clients wants, needs and desires. Meeting space constraints in the kitchen / dining was also of key consideration. The space did not allow for the inclusion of a island so it was configured with a U-shape, which did not compromise storage space and allowed for bar height seating at the peninsula counter top. Additional storage was added in the dining area in the form of a built in hutch to match the kitchen cabinetry.

Zoning regulations imposed a major constraint: demolishing the original structure would have drastically reduced the allowable square footage for new construction. As a result, the design was developed entirely within the existing foundation. What could have been a limitation became a catalyst for innovation. The new structure was intentionally secondary to the main house, maintaining a clear hierarchy while expanding spatial and functional possibilities. The lots are now joined and the driveway services both structures

The size of the new forest room was fixed by zoning constraints and the previously existing screen porch. Although just 8’ x 14’, the views from and into this small room transform the character of the adjoining larger rooms.

The homeowners wanted to better use their outdoor space to feel like an extension of their home with several separate lounge and entertaining spaces. While they desired to keep the lawn for their kids, they also wanted to ensure there were enough private areas for adults. While these factors are typical for an Alderwood project, the challenges of this landscape made the final design incredibly unique. Rather quickly, our design team learned that a large septic system ran right underneath most of the backyard. Coordinating with city workers, the building architect, and the clients, our landscape architect crafted a unique design that worked around the drain constraints and accomplished each desire on the clients' list.

Due to constraints of the building, both the meat and dairy sinks are on the same counter run. We were able to fit 2 dishwashers, a tray cabinet, and a drawer stack along the run. The cabinet left of the farther sink is reduced depth to work around one of the chases.

We created an elegant expression of space and light from an incredibly complex program, and within difficult environmental, code, and land use constraints. Limiting the construction footprint preserves the hillside, many existing trees and native vegetation, and the natural habitats to the west. The mixed-use building includes retail, restaurant, commercial demonstration manufacturing, office, and meeting space, fourteen luxury residences, residential amenity spaces, parking, and three levels of decks. The building mass is divided and opened to incorporate a breezeway.

Every now and then, we take on a smaller project with clients who are super fans of Form + Field, entrusting our team to exercise their creativity and produce a design that pushed their boundaries, which ultimately led to a space they love. With an affinity for entertaining, they desired to create a welcoming atmosphere for guests. Although a wall dividing the entryway and kitchen posed initial spatial constraints, we opened the area to create a seamless flow; maximizing the space and functionality of their jewel box kitchen. To marry the couple's favorite colors (blue and green), we designed custom wood cabinetry finished in a deep muted pine green with blue undertones to frame the kitchen; beautifully complementing the custom walnut wooden fixtures found throughout the intimate space.

AFIRE Modern times no longer favors the uniformity of objects and mass production. Faced with the globalization of manufactured objects, everyone wants to take control and create their own unique universes. The beauty and complexity of fire is part of this new lifestyle. Whether using remote-controlled ethanol inserts of ecological bio-fireplaces, the important is to design the style of your own home independently or, even better, with the help of an interior designer. Only one thing is definitely off-limits: the constraint of using complicated apparatus requiring hassle straight out of another time.

Located in the Avenues of the heart of Salt Lake City, this craftsman style home leaves us astounded. Upon demolition of the existing home, this custom home was built to showcase what exactly Lane Myers Construction could deliver on when we are given numerous constraints. With a floor plan designed to open up what would have been considered a confined space, attention to tiny details and the custom finishes were just the cusp of what we took the time to create

This compact bathroom and laundry has all the amenities of a much larger space in a 5'-3" x 8'-6" footprint. We removed the 1980's bath and laundry, rebuilt the sagging structure, and reworked ventilation, electric and plumbing. The shower couldn't be smaller than 30" wide, and the 24" Miele washer and dryer required 28". The wall dividing shower and machines is solid plywood with tile and wall paneling. Schluter system electric radiant heat and black octogon tile completed the floor. We worked closely with the homeowner, refining selections and coming up with several contingencies due to lead times and space constraints.

The Sun Air Executive Flight Center sets the standard in world class fixed base operators (FBOs). The high-tech design was inspired by the speed and technology of flight; sloping metal and glass walls, strut-supported canopies and curving rooftop equipment screens. Remarkably, a fresh appearance was achieved despite the constraints of pre-engineered building technologies. The Flight Center has several executive amenities including a luxury terminal, modern pilot center, crew lounge, multimedia conference rooms, quiet rooms with showers, flight planning room, gourmet kitchen, office rentals, private garages, and repair facilities. Ample apron space, fueling facilities and vehicle parking are also included.
