We designed this kitchen using Plain & Fancy custom cabinetry with natural walnut and white pain finishes. The extra large island includes the sink and marble countertops. The matching marble backsplash features hidden spice shelves behind a mobile layer of solid marble. The cabinet style and molding details were selected to feel true to a traditional home in Greenwich, CT. In the adjacent living room, the built-in white cabinetry showcases matching walnut backs to tie in with the kitchen. The pantry encompasses space for a bar and small desk area. The light blue laundry room has a magnetized hanger for hang-drying clothes and a folding station. Downstairs, the bar kitchen is designed in blue Ultracraft cabinetry and creates a space for drinks and entertaining by the pool table. This was a full-house project that touched on all aspects of the ways the homeowners live in the space.

Creating a clean, contemporary home was the goal. I chose warm neutral grays with strong accent colors: orange and teals in the main living space. The use of sophisticated neutrals with well-placed color accents creates a warm and inviting yet clean and contemporary home for the family. Anne Buskirk Photography

The owners of a penthouse wanted something special to protect them from Miami's hot sun and strong winds. They wanted a solution that kept the beautiful view of downtown and the ocean, but was also strong enough for hurricanes. They found Azenco R-Blade: a motorized retractable pergola with louvered roof. It will work all day, no matter the wind or weather! To create a consistently usable space, the customer outfitted their area with motorized retractable screens. The Azenco R-Blade was an ideal choice for this, as it offers incomparable versatility - from louvered roof that can be opened and closed at will to its full suite of features.

This is a 2 level island. Blue seats contrast the wooden cabinets as it compliments the beauty of the textured glass bar top. As general contractors, we at ULFBUILT create strong relationships, communicate with care, and deliver outstanding results.

Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean climate and bold architecture of the home, a garden exhibiting strength and simplicity was envisioned. A highly geometric design was developed for the site that utilizes bold forms and strong architectural lines to give structure and organization to the garden. Simple, honest materials such as concrete, wood, gravel and stone are fundamental components of the design. Decomposed granite is utilized to create walkways and a circular gathering space, providing a casual feel and providing balance to the strong forms of the garden. Stone display terraces in back contribute to the sculptural layout of the garden, while providing space for the owner’s collection of garden art.

Beautiful leathered dolomite ( marble) countertops paired with the rift cut white oak cabinets, and marble backsplash give this coastal home a rich but organic and casual style! Open shelves create a strong design statement while still offering lots of function.

Set against a light gray/ beige wall, the entry creates focus on the dominant art piece, implemented to invoke a sense of strong, independency for a single woman's space.

The third story is open to the first, allowing the second floor to feel incredibly spacious and open. The cast iron spindles and tray ceiling create a wow factor.

In this elegant masculine bedroom, my intention was to create a super comfortable environment within these penetrating dark walls. This intimate setting composed of strong elements like metal, fire and leather is harmonized by softer ones like the representation of the female figure, plants, as well as plush textures. The homeowner had a vision of a sultry and moody ambiance. He desired a space that is both inviting and mysterious, with bold colors and luxurious textures. We added dramatic light fixtures to create shadows and highlight certain features of the room. The result is a space that is both seductive and sophisticated.

Red creates a strong focal point in this classic yet whimsical guest bedroom. Painted furniture and a fabric with a flora and fauna theme bring nature to this room. Rest amid the custom pillows as you gaze up at the red canopy above you.
