A cozy space was transformed into an exercise room and enhanced for this purpose as follows: Fluorescent light fixtures recessed into the ceiling provide cool lighting without reducing headroom; windows on three walls balance the natural light and allow for cross ventilation; a mirrored wall widens the appearance of the space and the wood paneled end wall warms the space with the same richness found in the rest of the house.

This house was built as a testing ground for refining assembly, trying new details, and simplifying mechanical tweaks. It was designed as a stock plan, taking into account the wedge-shaped lot common to new suburbs. A large, south-facing great room brings bright south light into the home, uncommon in a neighborhood where the same design is reused over and over regardless of orientation. The exterior styling references the classic suburban architecture of the 20th century, while keeping the finishes maintenance-free. As a spec house and also a fully certified Passive House, this home demonstrates the perfect balance between cost-effectiveness and cutting edge energy performance. Photo Credit: Jarrell Whisken

This is an example of a traditional landscaping in Boston.

A beautiful custom blend of Augusta and Rochester natural thin stone veneer on an exterior accent wall. Rochester is a multicolored castle rock style real stone veneer. The pieces are all roughly rectangular with a variety of warm colors. Whereas some stones break very cleanly with the hydraulic press and will crack exactly on the pressure point, Rochester does not. The grain within the stone creates a natural irregularity within the pieces. The quarry from which Rochester is mined is uniquely layered; the stone comes out in roughly 1” sheets. Due to the natural layering, we are able to split the backs of the Rochester pieces as opposed to sawing them. The lack of sawing on the back has no impact on the installation or durability but makes Rochester a very cost-effective premium option.

An effective and lovely kitchen and bathroom renovation in Astoria, Queens, NY - All products were purchased from Home Art Tile Kitchen & Bath in Queens, New York. Tile Backsplash is Merola tile Galaxy Bronze Hexagon and it was a perfect choice. Rich with shine and deep brown, bronze, beige, and gray color, this backsplash tile created a perfect marriage with the rest of the kitchen. The shape of the tile also gave this kitchen remodel a focus.

This custom, high-performance home was designed and built to a LEED for Homes Platinum rating, the highest rating given to homes when certified by the US Green Building Council. The house has been laid out to take maximum advantage of both passive and active solar energy, natural ventilation, low impact and recyclable materials, high efficiency lighting and controls, in a structure that is very simple and economical to build. The envelope of the house is designed to require a minimum amount of energy in order to live and use the home based on the lifestyle of the occupants. The home will have an innovative HVAC system that has been recently developed by engineers from the University of Illinois which uses considerably less energy than a conventional heating and cooling system and provides extremely high indoor air quality utilizing a CERV (conditioned energy recovery ventilation system) combined with a cost effective installation.

A bold transformation from an outdated Seal Beach kitchen that felt very closed off from the rest of the home. The owners of this home sought to modernize and open up to the dining room. We created a brighter, transitional space by installing Showplace lower shaker cabinets in Indigo and upper cabinets in White and undermount sink. The owners selected Calacatta Vicenza Quartz countertops with Artisan Frost subway porcelain tile backsplash. Yacht Club Cockpit Glazed Porcelain tile flooring was installed to tie in with the rest of the hardwood flooring throughout home.

Another project by Landmark Remodeling, Pro Design Custom Cabinetry and Pinnacle Interior Designs. This main floor bath is shared by the mom, dad, and two boys so we had to think about how all users can utilize the space and enjoy it. We also wanted to be budget conscience so that we could possibly do their outdated kitchen as well. We had a dark stained custom vanity and a custom mirror to give the homeowner their dream look and cost effective tile and light choices to balance out.

For the hardware, I went with Amerock Mushroom cabinet knobs in a smooth nickel finish. I wanted the countertops to flow with the existing granite on my kitchen island, so I found a Steel Grey Leathered Granite remnant, which was both practical and elegant. I also chose a Delta Lenta undermount stainless steel sink for its functionality, paired with an American Standard 1.8 GPM Single Hole Pulldown Faucet, which offers great water flow and the flexibility of a pull-down faucet. Both of these items were cost-effective without compromising on style or function.
