A large upper floor living room with a full glass wall created from slim framed sliding doors. The floor to ceiling sliding doors have an ultra slim 20mm sightline with minimal detailing in keeping with the modern house design.

Expanding the narrow 30 square foot balcony on the upper level to a full floor allowed us to create a 300 square foot gym. We closed off the opening to the kitchen below. The floor framing is extra strong, specifically to carry the weight of the clients’ weights and exercise apparatus. We also used sound insulation to minimize sound transmission. We built walls at the top of the stairway to prevent sound transmission, but in order not to lose natural light transmission, we installed 3 glass openings that are fitted with LED lights. This allows light from the new sliding door to flow down to the lower floor. The entry door to the gym is a frosted glass pocket door. We replaced existing door/transom and two double-hung windows with an expansive, almost 16-foot, double sliding door, allowing for almost 8-foot opening to the outside. These larger doors allow in a lot of light and provide better access to the deck for entertaining. The cedar siding on the interior gym wall echoes the cedar deck fence. HDBros

Peter Rymwid Architectural Photography. A total remodel to the second floor of the home allowed for complete redesign of the master suite including the master bathroom. Priority number one for this new master bath was to create an environment where the client could close the door to escape and recharge. For this an oversized air tub for two and a generous steam shower were absolute necessities. By placing the tub on a bed of flat cut river stone tiles a feeling of floating on a pond is created. The windows above the tub were left unadorned to bring more of the outside in from the private acreage beyond the windows The same tile is repeated on the shower floor. A large bench tucked into the shower allows the user to stretch out and enjoy the steam. Privacy for this young professional family was also an important feature. A separate commode room mirrors the shape of the shower and a recessed entrance to the bath creates privacy from the bedroom. Easy care porcelain tiles are used on the floor and wall behind the vanity. The same crisp white subway tile pattern is repeated in the shower. A white vanity with strong furniture lines and details provides all the storage you could want. Easy maintenance quartz counter tops repeat the white and grey marble patterned floor tiles. Beautiful framed mirrors reflect light throughout the room. Black crystal knobs adorn the cabinets and continue the black accent details. Polished chrome fittings and light fixtures with crystal accents add to the glam while the black shades and color accents provide the edge. Granite, a rich paint color from Benjamin Moore adds just the right amount of dramatic color to the walls. The subtle glimmer of glass tile and crystal details combined with the black color of the flat stone tile and the cabinet hardware meld the world of glamorous luxury and edgy style.

Using a similar mahogany stain for the entire interior, the incorporation of various detailed elements such as the crown moldings and brackets allows for the space to truly speak for itself. Centered around the inclusion of a coffered ceiling, the similar style and tone of all of these elements helps create a strong sense of cohesion within the entire interior.

INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE: Certificate of Merit PROJECT: Rumfish Grille CLIENT: Coconutz Beach, Inc. ARCHITECTURE FIRM: Fukui Architects CONTRACTOR: Critical Path Construction ENGINEERS: Farris Structural Engineers, LLC; Thorson Baker & Associates, Inc. PHOTOGRAPHER: Bradd Celidonia of Third Shift Photography DESCRIPTION: Rumfish Grille is a prototype restaurant blending a seafood restaurant with an outside garden bar. The floor plan is set on axis with the setting sun to create an interior orientation and connection to the exterior bar and natural phenomenon. The concrete wall serves as a strong signature element starting in the front vestibule and continuing through the seating area and into the outside space. JURY COMMENTS: The project has a good inside/outside quality where the inside extends in a pleasant way. The theatrical nature of this project completely transforms the experience. It is as if the restaurant was in its own world instead of an existing strip mall.

The design goal of this home was to create an old English cottage. Francis Garcia of Francis Garcia Architect studied the architecture of aged English cottages through photos as well as referenced various homes in Carmel, CA. In search of a stone to complement the client’s stylistic goals, Eldorado Stone’s York Limestone proved to be exactly what they were looking for. The sense of age and authenticity in conjunction with a consistent color palette and profile cut produced the exact feel Garcia was hoping to recreate. Having experienced a great deal of success with the installation, both Francis Garcia and Ken Blaise of Blaise Construction & Development receive a great deal of requests from people inquiring about the kind of stone that brought such a strong sense of authenticity to the client’s home.

Built in 1949, this Edina home had a strong horizontal presence on the site, but through subsequent renovations the overall massing was lacking clarity and refinement and the entry was diminutive and uninviting. The roof and siding materials were aging, and important interior spaces were cramped and closed in. The house needed better light, better connection internally and out, and exterior updates to clarify and enhance the strengths of the home. The primary design evolved out of a celebration of the existing horizontality of the home and a recognition that a bigger home was not needed. By layering materiality and color, a new identity was created. A new cedar entry canopy slips out from under the previous roof line, extending further towards the street. This added warmth at the entry is echoed along the facade, creating a graceful rhythm and texture. The previous additions were re-clad with a darker material palette in order to anchor and unify the ends of the home. As the grade slopes down towards the back yard, horizontal bands are exposed, revealing the layering top to bottom. Combined, these few shifts in color and materiality allowed for a complete transformation of the home. The interior is reflective of the material and color palette used outside. The main living spaces are opened up and connected while strengthening the original symmetry of the more formal linear alignment of rooms. A whole new kitchen relocates the center of the home and makes more fluid the daily life of this young family. The house is fully transformed inside and out, all without adding more square feet.
