This Spring Lake residence is an absolute treasure. This custom home serves as a seashore escape for its owners who were heavily involved in the design and construction process. Our team's custom carpentry skills were again called on to create various one-of-a-kind aspects for the homeowners, including a custom hanging bed made by hand by the Falcon Industries team.

Windover project is a coastal traditional home located in Corona del Mar, California. The design process involved significant transformations, including moving walls and opening up the downstairs space. We turned what was the dining room into a Butler's pantry and office and took the formal living room and made in the new formal dining space. This home was such a special project to work on and we're so happy our clients love it as much as we do!

This remodel project in Kirkland involved a new chef’s kitchen, updated family room and fully transformed bathrooms. The once dark and dated kitchen was completely reimagined by brightening the space, reconfiguring the island to create a larger and more usable cooking area and maximizing the storage throughout by adding custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry. The transformed bathrooms find the perfect balance of design harmony and practicality through creative layout enhancements coupled with a charming modern farmhouse vibe.

This is a 1943 traditional Cape Cod Revival, one bed and one bath home in need of complete renovation and updating. The project involved re-designing the layout, adding a second floor where there had previously been none, and replacing all utilities. In addition all major components required replacement ( i.e roof, windows). We were able to keep the original brick exterior and simply tweak the color scheme a bit to make it stand out.

This rural contemporary home was designed for a couple with two grown children not living with them. The couple wanted a clean contemporary plan with attention to nice materials and practical for their relaxing lifestyle with them, their visiting children and large dog. The designer was involved in the process from the beginning by drawing the house plans. The couple had some requests to fit their lifestyle.

Step into luxurious entertaining. This elegant home bar with a curved island design is complemented by similar linear lighting for an upscale modern, sleek look. The island drawer detail shows the craftmanship involved. The curvilinear waterfall countertop is crafted from Dekton.

The kitchen is one of the most important spaces in your home, and having the look, feel, and amenities you need to make it work for you are very important. We remodeled this Belmont kitchen with new lights, a back splash, and a custom island to give it a unique look and more functionality. Prep work involved removing existing cabinetry and island, moving the AC vent to accommodate new cabinets and cook tops. Brand new cabinets, custom island, back splash, appliances and lighting were installed. The dining room kitchen wall was removed with an engineering beam installed to create a more open space.

One of our recent projects involved a 1000 SF (2 bed, 1 bath) condominium in historic Salem Massachusetts. This project involved a full renovation - new kitchen cabinets with quartz countertops and smoke gray backsplash, a modern farmhouse style bathroom, in-unit washer and dryer, new flooring. We also modernized the brick fireplace by using white caulk paint and used accent walls to bring some contrast into the living room and dining areas. Since we couldn't design a traditional kitchen island due to the way space was distributed, we decided to create a new butcher block wood island top with built in USB outlets, to simulate a a coffee shop type of vibe - perfect for those working from home or for entertaining guests.

We were honored to be chosen by Honda Corporation North America to be involved in the Honda Smart Home project which was designed and built in partnership with the University of California Davis on the West Davis Campus in 2014. This was the fifth Honda Smart Home Honda Corporation had built throughout the world (the first in the United States). The goal of each Honda Smart Home is to provide a “Living Laboratory” that allows the most current and innovative design and products to be implemented in construction and tested over time.

This project involved converting a dark and dated, exposed log kitchen to something lighter and more functional for a young family. We removed a cramped island and had to max out storage in other ways by adding pull out trash, pantry and utensil stations. Painting the v-groove paneling white and covering the logs with full height tile made the small space much more airy and cheerful.
