Designers gave the house a wood-and-steel façade that blends traditional and industrial elements. This home’s noteworthy steel shipping container construction material, offers a streamlined aesthetic and industrial vibe, with sustainable attributes and strength. Recycled shipping containers are fireproof, impervious to water and stronger than traditional building materials. Inside, muscular concrete walls, burnished cedar beams and custom oak cabinetry give the living spaces definition, decorative might, and storage and seating options.
For more than 40 years, Fredman Design Group has been in the business of Interior Design. Throughout the years, we’ve built long-lasting relationships with our clients through our client-centric approach. When creating designs, our decisions depend on the personality of our clients—their dreams and their aspirations. We manifest their lifestyle by incorporating elements of design with those of our clients to create a unique environment, down to the details of the upholstery and accessories. We love it when a home feels finished and lived in, with various layers and textures.
While each of our clients and their stories has varied over the years, they’ve come to trust us with their projects—whether it’s a single room to the larger complete renovation, addition, or new construction.
They value the collaborative team that is behind each project, embracing the diversity that each designer is able to bring to their project through their love of art, travel, fashion, nature, history, architecture or film—ultimately falling in love with the nurturing environments we create for them.
We are grateful for the opportunity to tell each of clients’ stories through design. What story can we help you tell?

FRUIT FOREST
With prior establishment of plum and pear trees and raspberries, transforming the expansive lawn into a perennial fruit haven was a sensible and resilient decision for the home owner. Berries were planted into 80 linear feet of hugelkultur mounds, layered with tree trimmings, leaves, manure, and mulch, to provide long term fertility. Fruit trees established an orchard to provide fruit from August through October.
Plant List:
Blueberries
Apple Trees
Cherry Trees
Apricot Tree
Currants
Jostaberries
Gooseberries
Aronia
Cranberry Viburnum

The kitchen conversion was a complete reconfiguration to include a scullery/laundry room. The small spaces required intentional decisions to preserve the necessary function of the Kitchen, while providing opportunities for displaying art and heirloom pieces. The soft palate blends warm and cool tones of grey with walnut introduced on the island, hood and the interior of the glass cabinetry to seamlessly unify the space.

SILVER LINING
A city retreat in shades of silver and stone.
DESIGN DESCRIPTION
High above the city, this condo is a calm retreat dressed in dove grey, ivory and gleaming silver. In the living room, a charcoal velvet sofa sits beneath a textural framed artwork, paired with an acrylic-and-glass coffee table that keeps the space feeling open and airy. A tufted wingback with nailhead trim, a silver-leaf stump table and frosted glass sconces add warmth and dimension. The dining area gathers cream upholstered chairs around a glass table beneath a striking multi-arm rod chandelier, steps from a sleek white kitchen with black glass backsplash. In the bedroom, a tall upholstered headboard, a plush fur throw and delicate butterfly art create a soft, restful mood. The bathroom is a jewel box of onyx-look tile, with a cut-crystal vessel sink, a lacquered black vanity and nickel fretwork mirrors. Calm, luminous and beautifully considered, it is a true urban sanctuary.

Breathe Design Studio helped this young family select their design finishes and furniture. Before the house was built, we were brought in to make selections from what the production builder offered and then make decisions about what to change after completion. Every detail from design to furnishing was accounted for from the beginning and the result is a serene modern home in the beautiful rolling hills of Bee Caves, Austin.

The decision to go small is about her personal values, committing to a lifestyle, and living within her means. The move to design small is a subjective decision that weighs in on a number of factors that can’t possibly be summed up in one statement, but the obvious benefits jump to the front...easier to maintain, less cleaning, less expensive, less debt, less environmental impact, less temptation to accumulate. Her design requirements were simple, small footprint less than 1000 sq. ft., garage below the living area, and take advantage of the amazing view. It’s smaller than the average house, but designed in a way that it won’t feel like a shoebox. My client thought long and hard about downsizing her home and her lifestyle, and she couldn’t be happier

Incorporating an open shelf system creates extensive sightlines. Sightlines decrease the amount of time spent on choosing outfits because you can clearly see everything you have and dress accordingly. A valet rod helps you visualize your outfit before making the final decision. This closet is organization-oriented by design.

In collaboration with Green Hammer, this forested lot in the West Hills achieved the goals of increased daylight, improved energy efficiency, and optimized functionality through a series of mindful space planning, finish, and fixture decisions. By re-orienting the split level stair circulation, individual yet interconnected spaces were clearly defined, while celebrating the home’s connection to its natural setting.

The GO Home, USGBC's LEED for Homes 2011 Project of the Year. Built in an old field with minimal disturbance to the healthy existing landscape, the landscape design is expressed in essential project decisions like siting the building, a precisely located driveway curve and a red maple allee. @2011 Ann Kearsley Design

Have you ever been looking through magazines or social media and you come across all these beautiful homes and you want to create the same look but you just do not know how to achieve it? That is exactly what my client’s were feeling when they contacted me. They had a keen sense of style and were very handy but needed help to accomplish the overall look. I was able to push them into making bold decisions and create the look they had always envisioned but could not successfully complete on their own.

Our clients reached out to us in need of a formal living space for their new home. They wanted a traditional but welcoming space for their larger extended family. We went with a rich Navy blue on the walls and a soft accent color on the ceiling, it was a scary decision for my clients to go with but they decided to let me work my magic!
This space looks so warm and welcoming, it will be a part of many family functions for years to come. #AriasHome #traditional #navyblue #NorthPlainfield

Do you move to the suburbs, make do, or add on? For a couple who wanted more kitchen and room to spread out and entertain, the decision was made to stay and grow. An addition was made behind their home that created an entirely new kitchen and family room, complete with vaulted ceilings and custom light fixtures. The addition itself is also not highly visible from the road, cutting down on the “hunchback” look of so many older city homes with massive additions. Windows give the space abundant natural light, with doors that inconspicuously blend indoor and outdoor living – an all in the home and neighborhood the couple loves best.
