Freestanding bathtub - modern blue tile and glass tile freestanding bathtub idea in San Francisco

A black handheld shower and hose sit above the round control plate and tub filler against pale wall tiles. The close view shows the coordinated dark fittings within the white tub-shower, keeping the fixture palette consistent with the bathroom’s vanity hardware. Cedarstone Renovations refreshed this Harbourfront condo with a revised kitchen corner-cabinet layout and coordinated bathroom updates. White cabinetry, pale surfaces and black hardware create a consistent palette while improving everyday use of the Toronto condominium’s kitchen and bathroom.

Project by Studio H:T principal in charge Brad Tomecek (now with Tomecek Studio Architecture). This project tests the theory of bringing high quality design to a prefabricated factory setting. Enrolled in the LEED-Home Pilot, this residence completed certification. The modular home was conceived as two boxes that slide above one another to create outdoor living space and a lower covered rear entry. The passive solar design invites large amounts of light from the south while minimizing openings to the east and west. Factory construction saves both time and costs while reducing waste and using a controlled labor force. Built in a factory north of Denver, the home arrived by flatbed truck in two pieces and was craned into place in about 4 hours providing a fast, sustainable, cost effective alternative to traditional homebuilding techniques. Upgraded lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, doors, door hardware, windows, tile and bamboo flooring were incorporated into the design. 80% of the residence was completed in the factory in less than 3 weeks and other items were finished on site including the exterior stucco, garage, metal railing and stair. Stack-Slide-Stitch describes the conceptual process of how to tie together two distinct modular boxes. Stack refers to setting one modular directly on top of the other. Slide refers to the action that creates an upper southern deck area while simultaneously providing a covered rear entry area. The stitching or interlocking occurs with the upward extension of the lower volume with the front deck walls and with the rear two story vertical.

Globe Electric's 6-pack 3-LED Under Cabinet Slim Puck Light is the perfect solution to all your lighting needs. The three surface mounted LEDs provide a bright 55 lumen light and do not use a lot of battery power. The universal remote control allows you to dim the light, turn it on and off with ease and set an auto-off timer at different intervals. If you have more of Globe Electric's Under Cabinet Lighting, you can use just one remote with everything! We try to make it as easy as possible. Place this light wherever you need it most with the included double-sided tape or simply use the provided screws for a more permanent placement. Changing the batteries is a breeze! Twist the light to release it from its placement and simply pop the top off with handy indented corners to change the batteries. A stand located at the back of the light is a brilliant way to use this piece anywhere in your home. Includes three AAA-type alkaline batteries, two screws and one piece of double sided 3M tape for each puck light.

Security cameras cover the entire perimeter of the home, and their pictures are easily viewed from anywhere in the world through an iPad app. An access-controlled gate allows the client to manage entry to the home even when away. All devices were inconspicuously placed, and custom Lutron drapes were installed to control daylight. We also staged multiple variations of light fixtures and bulbs to find the optimal combination to meet the client’s taste. Photography: Bruce Van Inwegen

A new contemporary kitchen for a family that loves to cook. The owners ' European preferences lead to the selection of the German made cabinets by Bulthaup. The crisp cabinet styling and sophisticated engineering allowed for a clean, minimal style. White cabinets and backsplash defined the walls. Darker cabinets and appliances defined areas of focus. Folding exterior doors enabled the entire corner to open to the deck and rear yard. Remote controlled screens lower from the ceiling to create a screened breakfast area. DLux Images
