A unique historic renovation. Our windows maintain the historic look with modern performance. Equipped with tilt and turn, wood aluminum triple-pane, Glo European Windows. The Glo wood aluminum triple pane windows were chosen for this historic renovation to maintain comfortable temperatures and provide clear views. Our client wanted to match the historic aesthetic and continue their goal of energy efficient updates. High performance values with multiple air seals were required to keep the building comfortable through Missoula's changing weather. Warm wood interior frames were selected and the original paint color chosen to match the original design aesthetic, while durable aluminum frames provide protection from the elements.

Free Float is a pool house that continues UP's obsession with contextual contradiction. Located on a three acre estate in Sands Point NY, the modern pool house is juxtaposed against the existing traditional home. Using structural gymnastics, a column-free, simple shading area was created to protect occupants from the summer sun while still allowing the structure to feel light and open, maintaining views of the Long Island Sound and surrounding beaches.

This St. Helena residence was an exciting enhancement from a regular backyard into a hidden oasis, based on our clients’ vision. They desired a “secret garden” that was drought resistant and included a large vegetable garden that could produce a variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. We delivered a unique and cohesive backyard that has something new to discover around every corner. The backyard features a “rock river” that solves drainage issues and ensures the garden thrives year-round. Designed with drought-resistant plants native to California, the landscaping incorporates numerous succulents to create a lush, low-water environment. The centerpiece of the backyard is the prized vegetable area, featuring custom vegetable boxes. We continue to work closely with the client to find new ways to update the space by filling bare spots, adding vibrant color hues, and rotating the crops. By maintaining this collaborative partnership, we have crafted a dynamic and ever-evolving secret garden that continues to delight the clients and their guests.

A modern pool and pergola compliments the lush, European-style landscaping that continues from the front to the back landscape. Easy-to-maintain shrubs, perennials and seasonal color are planted. And container gardens accent the pool area. The beautiful traditional architecture of this home demanded a lush English style garden design. The deep landscape beds accommodate an abundance of color and foliage interested throughout the year. The clean, contemporary pool design complements the more traditional architecture and landscape design. Put it all together and you have a beautiful and lush retreat for relaxing and entertaining in style.

Then there was the piece on the minimalist trend in architectural products. Franke’s new Peak Series continues this trend. Available in seven versions, the sinks are square of form, deep, and minimalist in design. The beauty of this sink line is that the bottom is totally flat and, therefore, useful. A drain cover maintains the overall square geometry, doubles the straining power, and adds a measure of cool by covering the unsightly drain. Accessories such as stainless steel colanders and cutting boards are available. -16 Guage -Stainless steel -Undermount -33 inch cabinet - Outer- 28 3/4"x17 3/4" - Inner- 27 9/16"x16 1/2"x9 7/8" www.UAKC.com

This oceanside contemporary condominium is a sophisticated space that evokes relaxation. Using the bright blue and easy feel of the ocean as both an inspiration and a backdrop, soft rich fabrics in beach tones were used to maintain the peacefulness of the coastal surroundings. With soft hues of blue and simple lush design elements, this living space is a wonderful blend of coastal calmness and contemporary style. Textured wall papers were used to enrich bathrooms with no ocean view to create continuity of the stunning natural setting of the Palm Beach oceanfront. Robert Brantley Photography

A tiny Master Bath was badly in need of reconfiguring. Limited by its small footprint, we removed the wall between the vanity section and the bathing area to create a unified space. This created an opportunity for a focal point, where we placed a makeup vanity and a large framed mirror. To allow space for a shower, we angled a small free standing tub. The mosaic backsplash wraps around the wall behind the tub and continues across the vanity area. To maintain balance and simplicity, the room employed a basic color scheme of white and dark espresso.

The corner construction flows seamlessly into the detailed column and beam work, while maintaining the clean lines of the cedar tongue and groove ceiling and soffits with continuous vent.

This secondary bedroom continues the clean, contemporary aesthetic found throughout the condominium. Soft blue accents, layered textures, and thoughtfully selected furnishings create a welcoming guest retreat while maintaining the calm, sophisticated feel of the overall home.
