This home enjoys stunning views of Sweeney Lake from almost anywhere in the home; however it was in need of repair and a significant reorganization of the plan to take full advantage of site. The project is about the complete restoration and rethinking of this vintage 1965 mid-century gem. The house is deceivingly large with a full finished lower level and an indoor pool room; however it lived cramped and broken up. The entry was uninviting and small, the poolroom unused and poorly heated, the kitchen undersized, and the bedrooms and baths poorly accessed. Our task was to open up the home through the rethinking of the floor plan and the introduction of a new central axis connecting and organizing the homes functions and spaces around view corridors and existing or new focal points. The home had beautiful features to build upon; the central brick fireplace, the raised roofs over the living and pool rooms, and the view to the lake itself. A fully redone exterior and interior preserve the homes proportion and scale, while at the same time bring greater connection to the site and a much needed clarity to the homes organization.

In an open floor plan, the dining room can be deceiving! Jamie's dining room, sitting room and kitchen all coalesce under the custom overhead lights that help to make these photos perfect! Don't miss the blinds for over the kitchen sink in the back left!

Looks can be deceiving. While these raised-panel Amarr Heritage doors feature the aesthetics of a wood door, they are in fact heavy-gauge steel doors that are durable and require little maintenance. The dual direction woodgrain in "Golden Oak" creates a traditional look, which is completed with the addition of handles and hinges.

This 3-Season Room addition to my client's house is the perfect extension of their interior. A fresh and bright palette brings the outside in, giving this family of 4 a space they can relax in after a day at the pool, or gather with friends for a cocktail in front of the fireplace. And no! Your eyes are not deceiving you, we did seaglass fabric on the upholstery for a fun pop of color! The warm gray floors, white walls, and white washed fireplace is a great neutral base to design around, but desperately calls for a little color.

The exterior of what looks like a vernacular Hamptons shingle cottage, designed by architect Blaze Makoid, is intentionally deceiving. For the interiors, Axis Mundi typically decided not to play by the rules. Instead of de rigeur nautical artifacts, floppy sofas and wicker furniture, the firm responded to Makoid’s all-white interior envelope by injecting rooms with comfortable modern elegance that’s more contemporary Cap Ferrat than Eastern Long Island. Clean furniture silhouettes—from Cassina, Poltrona Frau and B&B Italia—a Massimo Vitali beach scene, a Moooi chandelier and industrial finishes (such as the steel of the fireplace surround and the anodized aluminum of a sleek Bulthaup kitchen) spark a creative tension between indoors and out. The gray palette provides a quiet backdrop for the nature outside, except for the master suite, where custom oak panels and blue shades create a reassuring warmth conducive to sleep.

In this project one could be deceived by its roadside appearance, what waits inside is a contemporary and exciting design behind its traditional public façade. This eco house in Mountshannon, County Clare combines a contemporary design with traditional elements to achieve an energy-efficient and visually appealing result. The road facing elevation adopts a more traditional appearance, while the garden-facing façade embraces a contemporary style, featuring a spacious roof balcony and large corner windows that maximise views of the garden and the surrounding countryside.

Perfect for entertaining guests with a game night or enjoying a movie with the family, the Winwood recreation room is large and spacious. The open layout combined with the huge windows deceives that it can even be a basement.

We painted the existing wood cabinets in this house because the wood tone was outdated for this home. The cost savings of painting VS getting new cabinets, allowed us to get new granite counters, mosaic marble backsplash and new lighting. Adding the cabinet hardware updated the look as well for resale

Pros of 3D planning: ✔️ Short lead times for the model. ✔️As soon as the model is entered into the program, you will be able, both independently and together with the designers, to work out all the details from the facade of the object to the color of the furniture. ✔️Now there will be no misunderstandings between designers and customers. All the wishes of the customer will be entered into the 3D model of the house, and not on the drawings! ✔️ Easier to control the construction process. Now no one can deceive you, because all the work will take place according to the already visible model. ✔️ Design a landscape design based on the area of ​​the territory, adjacent objects and the wishes of the customer! ✔️Low prices of a three-dimensional model.
