This project features a horizontal cedar screening fence around the HVAC units with removable panels for maintenance access, a raised planter bed along the edge with built-in vent wells around the crawl space vents, and a large patio. The patio features Techo-Bloc Borealis in a herringbone weave, Belgard Cambridge Cobble in a circle kit, and Appalachian Cambridge Cobble for a border. We've also used black diamond polymeric sand in the joints to give it the appearance of a void space in between the Borealis slabs to create a look of a stone deck.

Do you have a small apartment or studio and need space ­saving furniture ideas? Do you have a den or office that needs to double as a guestroom? A Murphy Bed system might be just what you’re looking for! This style looks like a glossy lacquered wall in your room and when closed takes up very little space. When you want to study or work on your computer, just open the cabinet and drop down a desk! There’s plenty of room for office work, study books or even craft projects to fit on this roomy desk. When you’re tired and want to get some sleep, just open it all the way and the desk drops down, instantly giving you a twin bed ready to crawl into! In the morning, it all closes up, giving you an uncluttered, open area for your studio or apartment. If you’re using it in a study, you can keep the desk open and just open the bed for guests when they sleep over. This Murphy Bed system is constructed from the highest quality materials and the mechanism is technologically new gas springs, that open and close with no effort. Having a Murphy Bed System is like having a room in a box.

Referred to inside H&H as “the basement of dreams,” this project transformed a raw, dark, unfinished basement into a bright living space flooded with daylight. Working with architect Sean Barnett of Polymath Studio, Hammer & Hand added several 4’ windows to the perimeter of the basement, a new entrance, and wired the unit for future ADU conversion. This basement is filled with custom touches reflecting the young family’s project goals. H&H milled custom trim to match the existing home’s trim, making the basement feel original to the historic house. The H&H shop crafted a barn door with an inlaid chalkboard for their toddler to draw on, while the rest of the H&H team designed a custom closet with movable hanging racks to store and dry their camping gear.

New bathroom, new addition: In order to live in place for a long time, they needed a main floor bathroom. However, the existing layout wasn’t conducive to a 3-piece bath. To solve this, we added a small addition with a 5’8” crawl space below. To allow for this addition, we had to relocate the family room window. We also reinsulated and drywalled the family room and living room walls, and this added warmth to an otherwise cool space. Privacy and light: We added window privacy film to allow an incredible amount of light into the new bathroom while still giving needed privacy. Smart brickwork: We kept the brick that was removed from the existing walls. We cleaned and reused it for the new addition, rather than trying to match new brick to the older brick. Unique design: We used unique design to incorporate the new roof line and to make the addition fit the look of the home as well as the surrounding neighbourhood.

Built in 1998, the 2,800 sq ft house was lacking the charm and amenities that the location justified. The idea was to give it a "Hawaiiana" plantation feel. Exterior renovations include staining the tile roof and exposing the rafters by removing the stucco soffits and adding brackets. Smooth stucco combined with wood siding, expanded rear Lanais, a sweeping spiral staircase, detailed columns, balustrade, all new doors, windows and shutters help achieve the desired effect. On the pool level, reclaiming crawl space added 317 sq ft. for an additional bedroom suite, and a new pool bathroom was added. On the main level vaulted ceilings opened up the great room, kitchen, and master suite. Two small bedrooms were combined into a fourth suite and an office was added. Traditional built-in cabinetry and moldings complete the look.
