The kitchen is located across from the living room, offering spectacular views to the trees and lake beyond. Although it's difficult to tell from a photo, the experience of being in this kitchen is a bit like being at the helm of a boat. It's definitely the primary activity place, and is connected to all other spaces on the main level. Architect: Sarah Susanka, FAIA; Photo courtesy of Bob Parish

#TipTuesday: With all the activities and equipment being used on a daily basis, summer can be a difficult time to keep your garage neat and organized. To help combat this, stow baseball mitts, balls, and other gear in baskets on a low shelf that way it’s easy for kids to put their own sporting gear away. Talk with one of our designers for more helpful tips and schedule a FREE design consultation today. Phoenix | Prescott | Flagstaff | Cottonwood | Tucson #FirstDayOfSummer https://linktr.ee/ICAZ

In our Contemporary Bellevue Residence we wanted the aesthetic to be clean and bright. This is a similar plan to our Victoria Crest home with a few changes and different design elements.

RETOUCH DESIGN-BUILD-RENOVATE www.retouchco.com Whole House & Addition This typical Prairie Village ranch made a good starter home but was struggling to accommodate a growing and active family. Routine tasks like meal preparation and eating together were difficult in such tight quarters. They loved the neighborhood but wanted a house that could serve their needs for years to come. An extensive remodel and addition helped to transition this 3 bed 1-½ bath house into a 5 bed 3 bath home with room to live. Moving the stairs created stronger connections allowing for a more functional kitchen, dining, and living room. See what’s possible for your too small home.

Baylen is 9 years old and was diagnosed at age 6 with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in October 2020, in the middle of the pandemic. DMD is a rare disease caused by a genetic mutation that prevents the body from producing a protein called Dystrophin, to which there is currently no cure. In lieu of Dystrophin, his muscles are slowly being encompassed with scar tissue. Without Dystrophin the scar tissue will eventually take over his muscles until they cannot perform adequately for his body. Since his diagnosis, he has taken to lego building and gaming, which are activities he can participate in without causing any damage to his muscles. Unfortunately the game room in his house is located upstairs while his room is located downstairs making it difficult for him to participate in these activities without assistance or pain from walking up the stairs. One of the biggest issues is at night, when his legs are in pain, he ends up in his parents room which prevents anyone from getting a restful night's sleep. A room where he feels comfortable and safe would greatly help both him and his parents. It would also be beneficial for his room to have more space for lego building and play video games without having to walk up the stairs.

Sterling Meadows Kennel and Cattery is a highly-reputable dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in the Virginia Beach area. The staple of their facility is the large outdoor play area that offers a wide range of activities for dogs. While this area was loved by the dogs and customers, it was a very uneven surface that became difficult to maintain after lots of playing, digging, and harsh weather conditions. This created a significant amount of extra work for the facility staff because the dogs would come in dirty from play time and track their mess all around the facility. Owners Sammy and Cindy Hinkle turned to ForeverLawn® for a superior solution that eliminated these issues. The ForeverLawn Southwest Team replaced the hard-to-maintain natural grass dog area with K9Grass® Classic. This upgrade not only reduced the maintenance and cleanliness issues that they were facing, but allowed the owners to incorporate a swimming area for the dogs as well.

Michelle and Dominic had purchased their home in Wake Forest several years earlier with the idea in mind that it would serve as a family-centric place where they could gather with extended family. Situated in a quiet residential neighborhood with large lots, it was the perfect place for them to raise and home school their 4 children. As their family grew, the children’s daily activities were split between the 1st and 2nd floors, making it difficult to coordinate activities amongst them all. And their extended family get-togethers had become cramped and increasingly difficult to accommodate everyone comfortably. They were in need of added living space that could serve their family’s needs as well as provide extra entertaining areas to host family gatherings. With our experience in helping homeowners secure financing for their Home Improvement projects, we worked with Dominic and Michelle to prepare all of the necessary documentation required to apply for an FHA 203K Home Renovation loan. As a result, they were able to finance the full cost of the construction of their new Family Room Addition. Our solution was to add a 1st floor living space that harmonized with the existing floor plan and décor, was central to the existing Kitchen, and flexible enough to facilitate large groups and accommodate the whole family’s daily activities and access to the outdoors. As a result of their newly added flexible living area, they are now able to comfortably gather with their extended family as well accommodate the whole family’s needs, giving them the opportunity spend more quality time with their family and friends. Design Features Harmony with the home’s existing architecture and décor. Seamless Transition into the adjoining Kitchen and Living Room, separating the two with a light and bright 15-Lite Double French Door. Light and bright natural hardwood flooring. A bright and open floor plan achieved by introducing a double 15-Lite French door in the Kitchen and generous amount of double-hung Low-E windows. Window Well in the Roof to accommodate required foot-print placement. Easy access to the outdoors and the large deck and yard. Extra storage space for tools and outdoor equipment. Energy Efficient and Green Features 1st floor HVAC Compressor and Air Handler replaced with a more efficient 15 Seer unit. Floor penetrations and perimeter bottom plates caulked and air sealed. No-VOC Paints and Finishes. Durable Exterior Construction No-Maintenance Composite and PVC Low-E Windows Cement Fiber Siding Cement Fiber and PVC Trim Life-time Architectural Shingles Metal Roof Flashing with Gutter Kick-Outs Superior Window Flashing and Water Intrusion sealing measures
