This project represents the evolution of a 10 acre space over more than three decades. It began with the pool and space around it. As the vegetable garden grew, the orchard was established and the display gardens blossomed. The prairie was restored and a kitchen was added to complete the space. Although, it continues to change with a pond next on the design plan. Photo credit: Linda Oyama Bryan

Location: Nantucket, MA, USA This classic Nantucket home had not been renovated in several decades and was in serious need of an update. The vision for this summer home was to be a beautiful, light and peaceful family retreat with the ability to entertain guests and extended family. The focal point of the kitchen is the La Canche Chagny Range in Faience with custom hood to match. We love how the tile backsplash on the Prep Sink wall pulls it all together and picks up on the spectacular colors in the White Princess Quartzite countertops. In a nod to traditional Nantucket Craftsmanship, we used Shiplap Panelling on many of the walls including in the Kitchen and Powder Room. We hope you enjoy the quiet and tranquil mood of these images as much as we loved creating this space. Keep your eye out for additional images as we finish up Phase II of this amazing project!

After returning from a winter trip to discover his house had been flooded by a burst second-floor pipe, this homeowner was ready to address the renovations and additions that he had been pondering for about a decade. It was important to him to respect the original character of the c. +/- 1910 two-bedroom small home that had been in his family for years, while re-imagining the kitchen and flow. In response, KHS proposed a one-story addition, recalling an enclosed porch, which springs from the front roof line and then wraps the house to the north. An informal front dining space, complete with built-in banquette, occupies the east end of the addition behind large double-hung windows sized to match those on the original house, and a new kitchen occupies the west end of the addition behind smaller casement windows at counter height. New French doors to the rear allow the owner greater access to an outdoor room edged by the house to the east, the existing one-car garage to the south, and a rear rock wall to the west. Much of the lot to the north was left open for the owner’s annual summer volley ball party. The first-floor was then reconfigured, capturing additional interior space from a recessed porch on the rear, to create a rear mudroom entrance hall, full bath, and den, which could someday function as a third bedroom if needed. Upstairs, a rear shed dormer was extended to the north and east so that head room could be increased, rendering more of the owner’s office/second bedroom usable. Windows and doors were relocated as necessary to better serve the new plan and to capture more daylight. Having expanded from its original 1100 square feet to approximately 1700 square feet, it’s still a small, sweet house – only freshly updated, and with a hint of porchiness. Photos by Katie Hutchison

Orange County, CA - Custom Mediterranean Doors are known for their opulent elegance, fine materials and architectural charm. These are all elements that define the luxury villas that line up the Mediterranean coast. Our Mediterranean Garage Doors are finely crafted to replicate the high standards of details found in authentic European doors. This custom wood garage door project in Huntington Beach, CA consisted of a double car garage door and a single car garage door in an authentic Mediterranean style. Selecting the right wood species that would follow the elegant style of Mediterranean Architecture finalized in solid Mahogany. This wood species was selected for its uniform grain structure and consistent coloration. It is also a hardwood that will last generations and allow our craftsmen to carve solid wood pyramid panels that will not easily deteriorate over the decades. These custom-made Mediterranean garage doors were quite the project and the home's architecture was the perfect backdrop that framed in beautifully. The beautiful built-in garage door arches matched the home's garage openings perfectly making our garage doors a natural fit that didn't compete with the home's curb appeal but created a stunning curb appeal that made the home stand out beautifully against the other in the neighborhood.

When re-purposing authentic antique gates it is important to take a few things into consideration as some of these projects can get costly and you'll want to make sure your results justify your investment. One of the details you'll want to consider if you're planning or have already purchased an antique gate is to make sure it can be modified to fit the opening you would like to use it in. In this case, the door was larger so a cut-down was easily done. Because the gate came with the original rustic iron hinges we opted to keep those as decorative features wile we retrofitted the gate with new operational hinges which will carry the weight of the gate for at least another century. Preserving the authentic characteristics of antique gates is of essence so you'll want to make sure you keep as much of the original elements when the retrofitting project is planned out. The challenge you'll have when pairing an antique gate with functional locking hardware is making sure the hardware will complement your gate's original character. This architectural gate was graciously fitted with a surface mounted mortise and lever box which allows the gate to be used conveniently as any other door in the house while having the option to lock it safely at night or while the homeowners are away on vacation. We opted for a rustic surface mounted lever and mortise lock system because the gate's thickness wasn't enough to install a regular inset roller catch and mortise box as in the gates we build from scratch. Check out the tag on the image to see what this antique gate looks like from inside when it's open. Although Dynamic Garage Door specializes in recreating antique European garden gates we also enjoy working on retrofits that make us part of a historic preservation that will carry our name for many decades more!

Achieving the look of luxury with custom-made Dynamic Garage Doors & Carriage doors on this Sonoma, CA garage was yet another success from our designers and finish craftsmen. The beautiful Tuscan style building was built in gorgeous natural stone and specific architectural elements that made this project a truly luxurious build. Our wooden garage door and automatic carriage doors played a great roll in adding the touch of luxury from the past with the convenience of modern day automation. The rustic carriage doors are handsomely decorated with rich iron hardware that is made much in the same way that blacksmiths have for centuries. The wood selection was alder which was finished in a flat oil finish to emphasize the wood's natural grain and appear to be aged over decades. These are the details that make Dynamic Garage Doors so highly acclaimed and desirable. Let our in-house designers advice you on your specific project and architectural style so that we can create unique door designs for your home too! Orange County Design Center: (855) 343-3667
