  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   This large open concept kitchen and dining space was created by removing a load bearing wall between the old kitchen and a porch area. The new porch was insulated and incorporated into the overall space. The kitchen remodel was part of a whole house remodel so new quarter sawn oak flooring, a vaulted ceiling, windows and skylights were added. A large calcutta marble topped island takes center stage. It houses a 5’ galley workstation - a sink that provides a convenient spot for prepping, serving, entertaining and clean up. A 36” induction cooktop is located directly across from the island for easy access. Two appliance garages on either side of the cooktop house small appliances that are used on a daily basis. Honeycomb tile by Ann Sacks and open shelving along the cooktop wall add an interesting focal point to the room. Antique mirrored glass faces the storage unit housing dry goods and a beverage center. “I chose details for the space that had a bit of a mid-century vibe that would work well with what was originally a 1950s ranch. Along the way a previous owner added a 2nd floor making it more of a Cape Cod style home, a few eclectic details felt appropriate”, adds Klimala. The wall opposite the cooktop houses a full size fridge, freezer, double oven, coffee machine and microwave. “There is a lot of functionality going on along that wall”, adds Klimala. A small pull out countertop below the coffee machine provides a spot for hot items coming out of the ovens. The rooms creamy cabinetry is accented by quartersawn white oak at the island and wrapped ceiling beam. The golden tones are repeated in the antique brass light fixtures. “This is the second kitchen I’ve had the opportunity to design for myself. My taste has gotten a little less traditional over the years, and although I’m still a traditionalist at heart, I had some fun with this kitchen and took some chances. The kitchen is super functional, easy to keep clean and has lots of storage to tuck things away when I’m done using them. The casual dining room is fabulous and is proving to be a great spot to linger after dinner. We love it!” Designed by: Susan Klimala, CKD, CBD For more information on kitchen and bath design ideas go to: www.kitchenstudio-ge.com

Alpine, funk, gezellig - these words drove the design direction of this modern ski chalet. To emphasize the high ceilings and huge windows, a simple color palette of a custom black, white and whitewashed wood were incorporated, along with calculated hits of color and pattern. A reverse floor plan, with the kitchen and living room on the third floor, highlight the importance of the two spaces where the family spends most of their time together. Here, windows surround the space on all four sides providing ample natural light. A large, stoic fireplace is balanced with a not so basic Ikea sectional covered in a playful, funky, custom designed fabric based off of a 16th century Dutch painting. Function and durability reign supreme in the entrance and bedrooms, where rubber flooring was used for use with wet snow gear and bunks were installed for ultimate sleepover and mountain vibes. Through layered textures, a high contrast palette and unconventional design elements, this ski chalet is anything but ordinary.

For those hot summer days we've set up Loxone's automatic shading feature to provide just the right shading we want. With this feature, by using relatively simple functions, we can get the best from our blinds, and make them do what they were designed to do: provide shading. Each window is managed separately, so when the sun hits the south-east side of the house in the morning, all the blinds there get into position. The slats close only as much as is necessary to stop any direct sunlight getting in and over-heating the house. Even when we're not at home, the blinds look after themselves - so we never have to return to an overheated house. We've put contact switches on the patio doors so that the blinds can't come down if a door's open - stops us getting stuck in our own garden!

Set in Montana's tranquil Shields River Valley, the Shilo Ranch Compound is a collection of structures that were specifically built on a relatively smaller scale, to maximize efficiency. The main house has two bedrooms, a living area, dining and kitchen, bath and adjacent greenhouse, while two guest homes within the compound can sleep a total of 12 friends and family. There's also a common gathering hall, for dinners, games, and time together. The overall feel here is of sophisticated simplicity, with plaster walls, concrete and wood floors, and weathered boards for exteriors. The placement of each building was considered closely when envisioning how people would move through the property, based on anticipated needs and interests. Sustainability and consumption was also taken into consideration, as evidenced by the photovoltaic panels on roof of the garage, and the capability to shut down any of the compound's buildings when not in use.

Spridon - simple modern house, blending in the surrounding The building consists of a 75m² ground floor and a 35m² basement. It is a radical reconstruction of an old country house, from which only the basement frame and frame elements on the ground floor were kept. The design intention was to create a space characterized by transparency so that the greenery in which it is integrated is perceived to the maximum from the interior of the space. This is achieved with the addition of a metal frame structure and energy efficient glass shell. Due to the orientation of the building, which was a basic object of the study, the sun is not hitting directly inside the ground floor, which however remains pleasantly illuminated throughout the day. Evening and night hours are the most flattering depicting the glowing character of the structure. Existing elements and new frame were covered by metal panel. In the bedroom a glass space has been created for reading and meditation, with direct view to the thick greenery. On the whole the building is equipped with hi-tech mechanical systems controlling heating-cooling, electric installation, lights, curtains etc. It is very high in terms of energy efficiency due to heating pumps systems, insulation and energy glass shell.

Inspired by another mid-century modern home the client owned, this new residence represents a much larger 21st-century version built into the gently sloping hillside to take advantage of the sprawling hilltop views of the Sonoma valley. The quiet front facade leads guests into a formal entry that divides the house into private and public spaces. Rounding the corner into the great room, one is immediately hit by the breathtaking view that extends outward beyond the infinity pool and deck through a continuous wall of glass. In the opposite direction, each of the three bedrooms was designed with its own seating area and bathroom, creating private suites for family members and guests alike. The linear design and open, flowing living spaces provide almost every room with outdoor access to the expansive patio, protected from the Sonoma heat by deep overhangs. Warm woods, clean lines, and a rhythmic post and beam ceiling design create a homey feeling of rest and relaxation, evoking the essence of modern California living.

The Aero Roman shade solves your shading needs in an exceptionally sensual fashion creating a unique atmosphere for the home. Our one-of-a-kind Aero Roman shade is designed to be mounted directly on a tilt and turn window. The Aero Roman is also unique because it is available with top-down/bottom-up flexibility. The Aero Roman shade uses our taut hanging system where the shade is attached to the window with mounting brackets at both the top and bottom of the window. This mounting options gives you full use of both your blind and window at the same time. With the taut system, the Aero Roman shade moves with your tilt and turn window as you open it. This feature eliminates the annoying issue of the tilt and turn window hitting your blinds as you tilt the window inward. And what’s more, our Aero Roman shade has NO middle string to obstruct the view. Another surprise benefit of our tilt and turn window shades is you get to reclaim your entire window sill. These blinds sit entirely on the window leaving your sill wide open to use however you desire.
