The client’s brief was to create a space reminiscent of their beloved downtown Chicago industrial loft, in a rural farm setting, while incorporating their unique collection of vintage and architectural salvage. The result is a custom designed space that blends life on the farm with an industrial sensibility. The new house is located on approximately the same footprint as the original farm house on the property. Barely visible from the road due to the protection of conifer trees and a long driveway, the house sits on the edge of a field with views of the neighbouring 60 acre farm and creek that runs along the length of the property. The main level open living space is conceived as a transparent social hub for viewing the landscape. Large sliding glass doors create strong visual connections with an adjacent barn on one end and a mature black walnut tree on the other. The house is situated to optimize views, while at the same time protecting occupants from blazing summer sun and stiff winter winds. The wall to wall sliding doors on the south side of the main living space provide expansive views to the creek, and allow for breezes to flow throughout. The wrap around aluminum louvered sun shade tempers the sun. The subdued exterior material palette is defined by horizontal wood siding, standing seam metal roofing and large format polished concrete blocks. The interiors were driven by the owners’ desire to have a home that would properly feature their unique vintage collection, and yet have a modern open layout. Polished concrete floors and steel beams on the main level set the industrial tone and are paired with a stainless steel island counter top, backsplash and industrial range hood in the kitchen. An old drinking fountain is built-in to the mudroom millwork, carefully restored bi-parting doors frame the library entrance, and a vibrant antique stained glass panel is set into the foyer wall allowing diffused coloured light to spill into the hallway. Upstairs, refurbished claw foot tubs are situated to view the landscape. The double height library with mezzanine serves as a prominent feature and quiet retreat for the residents. The white oak millwork exquisitely displays the homeowners’ vast collection of books and manuscripts. The material palette is complemented by steel counter tops, stainless steel ladder hardware and matte black metal mezzanine guards. The stairs carry the same language, with white oak open risers and stainless steel woven wire mesh panels set into a matte black steel frame. The overall effect is a truly sublime blend of an industrial modern aesthetic punctuated by personal elements of the owners’ storied life. Photography: James Brittain

SOLUTION - A combination of fabric drapery and textured shades imbues this eat-in kitchen with the perfect dose of warmth. The drapes feature a contemporary mosaic print in neutral hues, which instantly builds character in this gathering space while also controlling light - when open, they beautifully frame the French doors and when closed, they completely block light. Natural Woven Shades mounted inside the French doors, fill the room with diffused light and are simple to adjust when the mood strikes or the light changes.

A full concrete floor restoration and epoxy coating system completed for an enclosed sunroom in Ventura, CA [source: 7, 8]. Enclosed sunrooms and patio rooms present unique challenges: they endure intense direct sunlight, heavy daily foot traffic, and the shifting temperatures of indoor-outdoor California living. This space required a durable, long-lasting surface that could handle harsh UV exposure without blinding glare, hot-tire pickup, or chemical breakdown. Mechanical Diamond Grinding: Prepared the entire concrete slab using heavy Husqvarna planetary diamond grinders connected directly to continuous pulse HEPA dust extractors [source: 1, 3, 5]. We strictly avoid acid etching and chemical washes, opening the concrete’s pores purely mechanically to ensure an unbreakable bond without airborne dust or lingering odors [source: 3, 5]. Substrate & Crack Remediation: Chased, cleaned, and patched all surface fractures, joints, and micro-imperfections flush with the slab to create a level, seamless foundation. Commercial Epoxy Base Coat & Decorative Blend: Applied an industrial-grade epoxy base coat followed immediately by a full, edge-to-edge broadcast of decorative color chips, creating uniform texture, hiding substrate flaws, and providing built-in slip resistance [source: 7, 8]. Matte UV-Stable Poly Aspartic Topcoat: Finished the floor with a heavy-duty, non-yellowing poly aspartic clear coat specified in an anti-glare matte finish [source: 7, 8]. The matte sheen diffuses harsh sun glare streaming through the sunroom windows while resisting hot patio furniture, pet claws, stains, and daily wear [source: 7, 8]. Family-owned and operating across Ventura and Santa Barbara counties since 2005. Fully licensed and insured (Lic #908395). Contact: David at (805) 907-1017 Contractor: C&N Decorative Concrete
