A big part of the garage’s aesthetic qualities and functionality is its overhead door. The door provides protection from the elements for things stored in the garage. It also offers a barrier of insulation for conditioned spaces. Most garage doors will either roll up manually or have an automatic component powered by an electric operator and remote. They also have a large surface area that will typically be decorated in a manner consistent with the building it is attached to. These separate features allow home and business owners a number of options. At On Track Overhead Doors, for example, we have a wide selection of styles, colors and materials to choose from. From custom designed wood and aluminum garage doors, you can complement your home’s design. We also offer insulated and non-insulated garage doors. If your business uses garage space that is conditioned you may consider insulated doors to help conserve energy. On the other hand, non-insulated doors are a more affordable option that is perfect for garage space that is merely utilized for storage. Our trained technicians will install or replace your garage doors in a prompt and efficient manner. We work swiftly and accurately, so your garage door is functional and effective in no time.

Built in 1903, the kitchen in this stone estate has transitioned to fit the needs of many different owners. In 2017, the challenge was to transform it from an eclectic mix of minimal functionality to a kitchen the new homeowners wanted to love for the "next 30 years." It was important in the overall kitchen design to give a nod to the stately manner of the home, yet have the styling reflect a more contemporary color palette and finishes.

The master bathroom was designed in a polished manner. The lighting helps bring attention to the custom white cabinetry, white floor and wall tiles from Bianco Dolomiti and the sinks glass vanity countertop by Nano Glass. The showers intimate design is backed by a chrome handheld showerhead from Samuel Heath. The sinks three hole faucet matches the chrome finish found on the showers hardware. The master bathroom's most interactive touch can be found above the sink where we have placed a Robern M-Series medicine cabinet with a TV that partners with speakers in the ceiling.

The bar is constructed in the same manner and fashion as the theater and pool rooms with Shaker style cabinetry with square walnut peg in the door corners and decorative leaded glass door fronts with more than enough front and back bar space to serve and enjoy drinks and snacks. Entry behind the bar is through custom, bi-directional butler doors. A bottle display and storage area takes up the bottom half of the bar's back wall, and the full size automatic dishwasher is installed under the bar. The bar is also tricked out with an espresso machine, its own flat screen TV and AmX video controller. Puck lights in the upper cabinets illuminate through glass shelves, and low-voltage lighting is used behind the bottle display. The bar itself is lit be a series of earthen tone pendant lights.

Awards: Selected in 56th International Art Exhibition Venice biennale
Lavasan, a fast-growing region in the north east of Tehran, has transformed from a holiday destination to a residential area in the past years. The client demanded a typical residential building with 3 separate apartments in it based on the regional municipal regulations. Nevertheless, because of Lavasan's reputation for villa construction and because of the views to the surrounding landscape, the design was diverted from a typical apartment building
The main idea of the design was to build 3 completely separate units using green balconies and big outdoor spaces in a way to give it a villa impression.
The factors influencing the design of the project are as follows: Combining indoor and outdoor spaces, controlling exposure from outside, providing maximum view from the interior, and paying attention to circulation paths and urban public areas such as roundabouts and the surrounding pathways.
The building's form is close to a typical attic villa form on the main façade. The sloped ceiling continues to wrap the building as the façade's walls in a uniform manner. This wrap starts from one corner and continues on the façade to form the entrance, the courtyard's wall and the balconies. In this fashion, the building looks rather like a villa than an apartment.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option!

The clients enjoy entertaining guests in their home. They enjoy sports events, but don't necessarily enjoy the hustle 'n bustle of going to the stadium, finding a place to park, and in the case of football, freezing to death. They much prefer sharing the ambiance of their comfortable home, offering snacks and drinks from the bar, and enjoying a round of pool during intermissions and halftime, or watching halftime shows on a state-of-the-art home theater.
These clients were so committed to this enterprise, they dedicated their 3,000 sq’ basement, except those areas already used for utility, storage, and mechanical needs, the renovation.To make sure the clients' every wish was met, a complete entertainment area was designed and constructed with ease of movement, lighting, and safety in mind. The area would include a home theater with totally wireless controls, a pool room, and a social area replete with a commercial-grade wet bar.
The home theater consists of a screen within a custom cabinet system that also houses the complete audio-visual equipment center. Speakers are nestled in custom benches with the sound cones discretely hidden behind fabric panels. The motor for the panel that hides the screen when not in use is behind a similar fabric panel.The furniture style cabinet has Shaker style doors with walnut peg inlays and leaded glass panels. There are multiple lighting "scenes" for ambiance; low-voltage lighting inside the crown molding, and recessed can lights are discretely placed so that they can provide an extra level of illumination when required.The pool room was walled with a custom wainscot paneling with clear cherry stiles and rails finished with a clear satin lacquer.
The panels are of Madagascar ebony with a light satin stain and a clear lacquer finish. A custom cue rack was constructed from clear cherry and backed with the Madagascar ebony panel.Drink rails were custom fabricated from cherry and custom crown molding was fabricated to match the rest of the house. The space is lit with a combination of recessed lights and a series of hidden lights behind crown molding for dramatic effect. The bar area is topped with a custom crown detail to contain the lighting.
The bar is constructed in the same manner and fashion as the theater and pool rooms with Shaker style cabinetry with square walnut peg in the door corners and decorative leaded glass door fronts with more than enough front and back bar space to serve and enjoy drinks and snacks. Entry behind the bar is through custom, bi-directional butler doors. A custom bottle display and storage area takes up the bottom half of the bar's back wall. And, for the sake of convenience, a full size automatic dishwasher is installed under the bar for cleaning glasses and stemware. The bar is also tricked out with an espresso machine, its own flat screen TV and AmX video controller.
The bar is lit with puck lights in the upper cabinets that illuminate downward through glass shelves, and low-voltage lighting is used behind the bottle display. The bar itself is lit by a series of earthen tone pendant lights.All three areas complement each other and are in total harmony with the remainder of the house. Moldings were matched, carpeting styles were chosen to complement rather than compromise, and muted, natural colors and textures were chosen that complement the surroundings. There is a seamless transition between the newer areas of the home and those already in everyday use. The entire area is a nebula of electrons operating servos, quietly opening and closing hidden switches, mysteriously dimming and brightening lights, and not only creating an alluring atmosphere, but one that is programmable, available at the touch of a finger to a heat sensitive screen, for an individual, or a group. At a single touch the lights in the theater and bar areas dim as the theater screen lowers into viewing position. Not only does the AMX controller open and close shades and window treatments to facilitate better viewing, but on an entirely different level it controls the very access to the property. It opens and closes entryways, external doors and gates as well.None of this magic came easily. Electrical circuits were at a premium. Over heating plagued the AV rack, and pesky rays of light seemed to creep in where and when they were least welcome. An exhaust fan was installed in the AV cabinet to dissipate the heat. New electrical outlets were scheduled and placed while others were moved. The bar area received custom wire chases hidden within the cabinetry. Exterior roll-a-way shutters, all controlled from the AMX controller, were installed and programmed as the answer to those pesky light rays.

2018 HNA Awards Honorable Mention - Concrete Paver - Permeable
Contractor: Sequoia Stonescapes
Producer: Williamette Graystone
Designer: Drake's 7 Dees Landscaping
Eco-Panorama Demi pavers, in a tri-color blend, perfectly complement this home’s exterior. Contrasting color paver bands artfully define the driveway and courtyard. The use of the same pavers in the walkway and courtyard created design continuity and flow. Paver color and texture enhance and seamlessly integrate with an adjacent natural stone retaining wall.
Expert workmanship is showcased via smooth pavement elevation transitions and precise paver trim cuts. This quality Eco-Panorama Demi paver install ensured the homeowner’s stormwater drainage issues were addressed in a manner that enhanced the beauty of their home.
The existing storm drain inlets were retained and work in conjunction with installed Eco-Panorama Demi permeable pavers. The pavers also achieve visual harmonization with the adjacent natural stone wall, which was a project requirement.
This home is positioned at the lower end of a 200ft long drive that drops sixteen feet in elevation from the street entrance. Impervious concrete was replaced with PICP to manage 80,700 gallons of rainwater the pavement receives annually. The PICP improvement eliminated concerns over flooding in the home and garage. The 3500 SF pavement includes a courtyard and vehicle turnaround.
Despite thirty-seven inches of annual rainfall, these homeowners will rest assured their property is protected from rainwater runoff. Keystone Hardscapes’ Eco-Panorama permeable pavers provide improved stormwater management and elevated property value. Stormwater controls critical to the project were achieved and aesthetic beauty was significantly enhanced.
