This open second-floor hallway was thoughtfully designed to overlook both the dramatic two-story foyer and expansive great room below, creating a strong sense of connection throughout the home. Natural white oak flooring, custom railings with black balusters, oversized windows, and a sculptural statement chandelier bring warmth and modern architectural character to the space while allowing natural light to flow across both levels.

This kitchen was designed to complement the bold geometry and clean lines of the residence. The cabinetry features a two-tone scheme of soft white and matte charcoal finishes, creating a strong visual contrast while maintaining a minimalist look.
A standout feature of this space is the floating upper cabinetry—carefully engineered and precisely installed to appear weightless while providing ample storage. The layout allows for an uninterrupted countertop run beneath, reinforcing a seamless, modern aesthetic.
Custom integrated hardware, flush-panel fronts, and crisp alignment throughout the drawers and doors highlight our dedication to precision craftsmanship. Every cabinet was fabricated in our Canoga Park, CA facility and installed on site with care. The result is a functional and sculptural kitchen that blends effortlessly into the home’s open-plan architecture and panoramic views.

The owners of this multi-family housing project in Aptos felt strongly about creating both beautiful views and privacy for each home. We also really wanted to encourage people to spend time outside through the creation of shared community space. When I arrived, there was over 8,000 square feet of dead brown grass carpeting the complex. Now, a long, sinuous dry-creek runs the length of the property. The drycreek is surrounded by tough plants which require very minimal water and maintenance. We used enormous trees for privacy in key locations, along with a central community gathering area complete with a commercial grade built-in BBQ and bench seating. A large, strategically placed arbor provides shade for the dining area at the hottest time of the afternoon. New lighting illuminates pathways and trees and residents can enjoy the space at any time of day.

This subtle minimalist work began as a gradation exercise using essentially two colors—Phthalo Blue and Vivid Yellow Green. By mixing the two in varying proportions, I created a wide range of related hues. The painting has a quiet, contemplative quality, which inspired its title, Reflections.
The painting's strong horizontal composition may suggest rolling green fields, distant horizons, or perhaps something entirely different. I prefer to leave that discovery to you as my art helps you re-define your space.
If this piece speaks to you, I encourage you to make it yours.

Positioned just off the main entry, this mudroom offers a streamlined drop zone that feels intentional, uncluttered, and refined.

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.

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.

**Project Description**
This project features a complete **ACP aluminum composite panel installation** on a multi-family residential building in **Philadelphia, PA**. The exterior façade was upgraded with a modern combination of gray aluminum composite panels, wood-look architectural panels, black window trim, and a brick base, creating a clean, contemporary, high-end exterior finish.
Before installation, the façade design was professionally drawn and planned in a design program. This allowed the client and installation team to review the panel layout, color placement, wood-look accent sections, window alignment, and overall exterior design before the work was completed on site. This design-first approach helped create a more precise installation with clean lines, balanced proportions, and accurate panel placement.
The scope of work included exterior preparation, ACP panel layout planning, aluminum composite panel installation, exterior trim detailing, and careful finishing around windows, doors, corners, and façade transitions. The gray ACP panels give the building a sleek modern look, while the wood-look panels add warmth, contrast, and architectural detail.
**Aluminum composite panels** are a strong option for multi-family buildings, commercial properties, investment properties, apartment buildings, and modern exterior renovations. They provide a durable, weather-resistant, low-maintenance exterior cladding system while giving the building a professional architectural appearance.
This Philadelphia façade renovation is a strong example of how professional ACP panel installation and thoughtful exterior design can transform an older building into a modern, attractive, and valuable property.
We provide ACP panel installation, aluminum composite panel siding, exterior cladding, modern façade renovation, and siding installation services in Philadelphia, Montgomery County, Norristown, Plymouth Meeting, King of Prussia, Conshohocken, Blue Bell, and surrounding Pennsylvania areas.

A traditional Georgian home receives an incredible transformation with an addition to expand the originally compact kitchen and create a pathway into the family room and dining area, opening the flow of the spaces that allow for fluid movement from each living space for the young family of four. Taking the lead from the client's desire to have a contemporary and edgier feel to their home's very classic facade, House of L worked with the architect's addition to the existing kitchen to design a kitchen that was incredibly functional and gorgeously dramatic, beckoning people to grab a barstool and hang out. Glossy macassar ebony wood is complimented with lacquered white cabinets for an amazing study in contrast. An oversized brushed nickel hood with polished nickel banding makes a presence on the feature wall of the kitchen. Brushed and polished nickel details are peppered in the landscape of this room, including the cabinets in the second island, a storage cabinet and automated hopper doors by Hafele on the refrigeration wall and all of the cabinet hardware, supplied and custom sized by Rajack. White quartz countertops by Hanstone in the Bianco Canvas colorway float on all the perimeter cabinets and the secondary island and creates a floating frame for the Palomino Quartzite that is a highlight in the kitchen and lends an organic feel to the clean lines of the millwork. The backsplash area behind the rangetop is a brick patterned mosaic blend of stone and glass, while surrounding walls have a layered sandstone tile that lend an incredible texture to the room. The light fixture hanging above the second island is by Wells Long and features faceted metal polygons with an amber gold interior. Woven linen drapes at window winks at the warmer tones in the room with a lustrous sheen that catches the natural light filtering in. The rift and sawn cut white oak floors are 8" planks that were fitted and finished on site to match the existing floor in the family and dining rooms. The clients were very clear on the appliances they needed the kitchen to accommodate. In addition to the vast expanses of wall space that were gained with the kitchen addition the larger footprint allowed for two sizeable islands and a host of cooking amenities, including a 48" rangetop, two double ovens, a warming drawer, and a built-in coffee maker by Miele and a 36" Refrigerator and Freezer and a beverage drawer by Subzero. A fabulous stainless steel Kallista sink by Mick De Giulio's series for the company is fitted in the first island which serves as a prep area, flanked by an Asko dishwasher to the right. A Dorenbracht faucet is a strong compliment to the scale of the sink. A smaller Kallista stainless sink is centered in the second island which has a secondary burner by Miele for overflow cooking.
