Dave & Noreen called when their pool builders were wrapping up their project in October; Dave had considered building a patio himself, but quickly realized it was more work than he was willing to tackle. The hardscape and landscaping design process involved many design hours and 3 meetings until all details of grading, pool fencing, paver selection, and lighting were finalized.

We maintained the home's original footprint and renovated according to the client's wishes to have an "Old English" style home. This involved adding trim and stain, utilized rod iron, changing the tile flooring out for wood etc. The end result was beautiful.

This remodel involved a lot of reconfiguring of the main floor. The kitchen moved to the back of the house, where it overlooks the lovely back yard, and provides more connection to the living room. The laundry, mudroom, powder room, and dining room were also relocated for a better use of the space. The driving factor of this project was the desire for the family to feel more connected to their home and to each other.

Sublime Garden Design
Design ideas for a small eclectic backyard stone vegetable garden landscape in Seattle.

When first meeting with this family we discussed their desire to have a fully involved outdoor space that would rival their indoor entertaining areas. We decided to remove the existing balcony and start with a clean slate. The design elements had to include stone arches, wood ceiling and beams, and a luxurious kitchen space with gorgeous granite. Not only did we incorporate these elements into the space but were also able to vault the dining ceiling with an open gable design, and add a barrel vaulted ceiling above the kitchen with brick veneer finish! Truly eye catching and stunning to anyone that has seen it!!

This complete renovation involved removing small upper cabinets (11" deep) and replacing with taller cabinets all the way to the ceiling. The clearance between new cabinets and counters is now 18" (it was 15" before - very difficult to put anything under them). We chose white since this kitchen is Northeast facing, so it does not get a lot of light.

This project involved converting a partially finished basement into an ultimate media room with an English pub. The family is big on entertaining and enjoys watching movies and college football. It was important to combine the media area with the pub to create options for guests within the same space. Although the home has a full sized basement the staircase was centrally located, which made it difficult for special configuration. As a result, we were able to work with the existing plan be designing a media area large enough for a sectional sofa and additional seating with the English pub at the far end of the room. The home owner had a projection screen on a bare wall with the electrical components stacked on boxes. The new plan involved installing new cabinets to accommodate components and surround the screen to give it a built-in finish. Open shelving also allows the homeowner to feature some of their collectible sports memorabilia. As if the 130 inch projection screen wasn’t large enough, the surround sound system makes you feel like you are part of the action. It is as close to the I MAX viewing experience as you are going to get in a home. Sound-deadening insulation was installed in the ceiling and walls to prevent noise from penetrating the second floor. The design of the pub was inspired by the home owner’s favorite local pub, Brazenhead. The bar countertop with lift-top entrance was custom built by our carpenters to simulate aged wood. The finish looks rough, but it is smooth enough to wipe down easily. The top encloses the bar and provides seating for guests. A TV at the bar allows guest to follow along with the game on the big screen or tune into another game. The game table provides even another option for entertainment in the media room. Stacked stone with thick mortar joints was installed on the face of the bar and to an opposite wall containing the entrance to a wine room. Hand scrapped hardwood floors were installed in the pub portion of the media room to provide yet another touch to “Brazenhead” their own pub. The wet bar is under a soffit area that continues into the media area due to existing duct work. We wanted to creatively find a way to separate the two spaces. Adding trim on the ceiling and front of soffit at the bar defined the area and made a great transition from the drywall soffit to the wet bar. A tin ceiling was installed which added to the ambience of the pub wet bar and further aided in defining the soffit as an intentional part of the design. Custom built wainscoting borders the perimeter of the media room. The end result allows the client to comfortably entertain in a space designed just for them.

Wright Design is proud to have been involved in this project, which won a 2016 Preservation Award for Outstanding Rehabilitation from that Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation. Our goal in restoring this classic cottage was to maintain the architectural integrity of the original structure, while updating the floor plans to reflect a modern lifestyle and refreshing the exterior materials and palette.

This project involved painting, removing old carpet and replacing it with hardwood flooring. We added barn doors to save space in the closet and master bathroom, and also added this sleek and modern electric fireplace.

Remodel of this Palm Beach Gardens home involved restructuring the kitchen and nearby lounge area. New sliders off the back encourage outdoor living just off the golf course. Custom cabinetry, stunning pendant lights, and an overall soft contemporary feel create a whole new look for this home.

This project involved 2 bathrooms, one in front of the other. Both needed facelifts and more space. We ended up moving the wall to the right out to give the space (see the before photos!) This is the master bathroom, which suffered before from being dark, outdated, and non-functional. My client and I call this "organic glam". we wanted a spa-like bath but with some color. I decided on an earthy, organic palette of taupes, grays, and green. We ditched the tub for a walk-in shower. Satin brass fixtures, a teak vanity, acrylic accessories add to the luxe feel.
