Let the Original Endless Pool transform your idea of what a swimming pool is, and what it can do. This incredible machine, first built in 1988, provides the ability to swim endlessly, right in the comfort of your backyard, garage, deck, or anywhere you want to place it. This cost effective swimming machine uses a single propeller 5hp system to create a seamless current of water that allows you to swim without obstruction for as long as you want. The pool is wide enough and deep enough to accommodate any swimming stroke you want to practice, and with no turbulence from traditional jetted pool systems, you can enjoy a nice and smooth swim. Use this durable and resilient modular steel panel system to swim, do your aerobics, or work out. Customize to your preference to compliment any aesthetic.

Addition off the side of a typical mid-century post-WWII colonial, including master suite with master bath expansion, first floor family room addition, a complete basement remodel with the addition of new bedroom suite for an AuPair. The clients realized it was more cost effective to do an addition over paying for outside child care for their growing family. Additionally, we helped the clients address some serious drainage issues that were causing settling issues in the home.

The new, open space now has access to the new deck through the sliding doors. Perfect for grilling. And, the sliders offer a quick way to unload supplies directly to the kitchen when arriving for a long lake weekend. The addition to the kitchen was a cost-effective way to incorporate the refrigerator so it doesn't have such a huge imprint on the small space...and provide what they needed most: a large pantry for all of the bulk food, drinks, coolers, dog food, paper supplies. The kitchen now offers views through the living room to the deck and lake.

A second-story addition included this master bathroom. We moved walls, raised roofs, and created space for this wonderful period style bathroom.

The downstairs kitchen and a dining area that was dominated by a network of darkly-stained, hand-chipped beams and brick-red floor tiles. To bring these disparate rooms together, Sea Ranch Architect David Moultona AIA's design included new windows to replace several outdated stained glass windows and a new picture window to the west. Ikea kitchen cabinets provided a cost-effective solution to achieving a sleek and efficient kitchen layout topped by Organic White Ceasarstone countertops, stainless steel backsplash and chef's style open shelves. A new kitchen peninsula topped with Cherry Butcher Block provides a note of rustic authenticity by incorporating the owner's antique ice chest as an end cabinet. searanchimages.com

After working with this client on their home a few years ago, we were given the opportunity to create a landscape design for one of their multi-family properties. The goal was to create a landscape that not only enhances the property and fits the style of the building, but is also as cost effective and low maintenance as possible. We achieved this by keeping a limited plant palette, utilizing gravel and artificial turf, and exploring various options for hardscape and screening to achieve the desired look without blowing the budget. This was a "design only" project. Installation was coordinated by the homeowner and completed by others. Photos by East Coast Virtual Tours

If your family is like most American families, the kitchen is the heart of your home. It is where you gather for meals, to do homework, meet with friends, and, of course, sneak a midnight snack! Knowing that the kitchen is the center of your home, is the overall style what you want when entertaining? If the answer is no, but you don’t have the funds to do a complete renovation, you may be considering painting the kitchen cabinets. Here are three of the top benefits of making this choice. A Face-Lift – Kitchen cabinets are most likely one of the first things people notice when they enter a kitchen, as they take up a majority of the wall space. So if they are drab, dated, worn, or darker than you prefer, you may want to consider brightening up your kitchen with a professional painting of not only the wall surfaces but also the kitchen cabinets. If your cabinets are in fairly good condition, there really is no need to replace, but rather have the experts bring back the shine and new look to your kitchen through paint. Economical – Having a team of professionals remove, clean, sand, and paint your cabinet doors and the surrounding woodwork can be much more cost effective than a complete replacement of the cabinets. The average cost of revitalizing cabinets by painting is a fraction of the cost of both the labor and materials needed to replace the existing cabinets. Time and Convenience – Not only is the cost a factor when deciding whether to replace or rejuvenate your cabinets, but time and convenience should be considered as well. For most contractors, gutting and replacing cabinets will take approximately 3-6 weeks and will mean losing your kitchen during that time. In a fraction of the time, usually less than a week, your kitchen can look like new with a paint color that you have chosen.

Updating for aesthetics is one thing, but for function is a lot harder. You have to really think about who is using the space, how they are using it, and still make it look good. This bathroom is shared by two kids, and in the future an au pair. So there needed to be a lot of closed storage, which we had a custom built in to match the cost effective furniture vanity we sourced from Wayfair. Partnered with Landmark Remodeling and Pro Design Custom Cabinetry to make this a success.

Pre fab rock walls created stepped zones for plantings and herb gardens, taking advantage of the steep slope in this area. The use of aggregates create a clean and maintenance free area that looks great and functions well. A cedar pergola was built over the large paver fire pit patio and large plantings create some cozy privacy.
