Original wooden deck structure was failing. Client took advantage of the opportunity to re-build the deck structure and railing system to be able to take full advantage of the great views that their waterfront property affords them. A previously bulky cedar shingle pillar support system was replaced with a much more slight vinyl clad support post system. Then the wooden rails were replaced with aluminum rails and glass panels, thus opening their views amazingly to the water view they have.

Removed large fireplace from roof to basement to open up kitchen to expansive view and allow in much more natural light. Structurally supported weak ceiling above stairwell and room off of stair well with new beams and posts. Tore out all kitchen area walls and framing. Constructed half wall to extend out into living space giving kitchen more space and to create a raised bar top counter. Added new range hood and induction cook top and range. New Evoke flooring, Semi-custom natural cherry cabinets, Pental quartz counter tops and bar. New semi-flush light fixtures and pendants + recessed. Painted all walls and cleaned and oiled wood panels on stairwell.

This photo shows the raised deck structure from a low, exterior angle. The deck features dark gray/black railings and a modern, black metal frame supporting a clear, flat roof (likely glass or polycarbonate) dotted with raindrops. A large, dark ceiling fan is visible beneath the roof. The decking material is a neutral, composite wood tone, and the structure is set against a backdrop of trees and a green yard.

Roof + Ceiling + Screened Wall System = Screened Porch This Zilker screened porch is a simple yet effective design. With the support posts, roof structure and ceiling in place, we painted the trim to match the home and added new gutters. Finally, we added a bronze aluminum screened wall system and stained the cedar posts and beam to match the bronze aluminum. The bronze screens give the homeowners more privacy than typical screens would provide.

Inspiration for a contemporary kitchen remodel in Atlanta

This early 20th century Indianapolis, IN basement remodel was in desperate need of help. The original and still operating hydronic radiant heating system had its plumbing configured without regard to any other use of the space. Fearful of harming the aged system and the high cost of doing so, these Clients were adamant that the existing system remain intact. Architect Lee Constantine developed a design that maintained the existing heating system while creating "niches" around the perimeter that would conceal the unsightly plumbing. Additionally, by removing free-standing structural supporting posts, amore flexible and inviting space was achieved. Because of an already low ceiling condition, the floor-ceiling structure above was kept exposed, painted and highlighted with indirect lighting to avoid further reducing the ceiling height. Constantine incorporated "clouds" on this ceiling to conceal certain existing components that either were cost prohibitive to relocate or couldn't be relocated. These "clouds"become a "visual element" through their geometry and hidden "indirect" light source rather than an undesirable complication. Now this family entertains frequently in the basement and reports "it doesn't feel like we're in a basement anymore"
