This Jersey City, NJ space was the first permanent ‘home’ for the yoga studio, so it was essential for us to listen well and design a space to serve their needs for years to come. Through our design process, we helped to guide the owners through the fit-out of their new studio location that required minimal demolition and disruption to the existing space. Together, we converted a space originally used as a preschool into a welcoming, spacious yoga studio for local yogis. We created one main yoga studio by combining four small classrooms into a single larger space with new walls, while all the other program spaces (including designated areas for holistic treatments, massage, and bodywork) were accommodated into pre-existing rooms. Our team completed all demo, sheetrock, electrical, and painting aspects of the project. (The studio owners did some of the work themselves, and a different company installed the flooring and carpets.) The results speak for themselves: a peaceful, restorative space to facilitate health and healing for the studio’s community. Looking to renovate your place of business?

Inspiration for a mid-sized modern one-story glass flat roof remodel in Dallas

Located in Church Hill, Richmond’s oldest neighborhood, this very early 1900s Victorian had tons of historical details, but the house itself had been neglected (badly!). The home had two major renovation periods – one in 1950’s, and then again in the 1980s’s, which covered over or disrupted the original aesthetics of the house (think open ductwork, framing and drywall obscuring the beautiful mantels and moldings, and the hot water heater taking up valuable kitchen space). Our Piperbear team had to “undo” much before we could tackle the restoration of the historical features, while at the same time modernizing the layout.

The homeowners of this project wanted to extend their living room and create plenty of space to entertain their family. We extended their existing space by 12 feet and removed a center column that disrupted the view of lake. We added a wood burning fireplace and revamped their existing outdoor kitchen to give it a fresh look. The ceiling is a 1x6 tongue and groove with an English Porter stain with a clear coat to give it some shine. The flooring is a Versailles pattern travertine to give it a nice finish. We also added some uncovered space to spend some time out near the lake with new landscaping to complete that look. TK IMAGES

The primary challenge of this project was to transform a cold and divided space into an open and inviting one to serve as, not just a kitchen, but a dining area and living space that would be comfortable for a small family and suitable for entertaining guests. The client wished to have a warm and welcoming atmosphere that would flow smoothly into the rest of the home as well as tie the space in with an outdoor deck, all without sacrificing the “coziness” of the design. Additionally, a desk and a dining area had to be incorporated in the new room without interrupting traffic flow or disrupting the visual appeal of the space.

With the challenge of not being able to move the appliances, the designer needed to find an appropriate space for seating that didn't disrupt the traffic within the room. In response, the designer extended the counter to create a corner booth seating space in the center of the room. Not only does it provide a comfortable, casual, and friendly seating space, but gives more space to the counter, allowing for accommodation for larger events and meals.

This is a recent project, again this was a builder grade fireplace That makes no real impact from it's inexpensive 12 x 12 stone tile non disrupt mantel and hearth. The only thing I kept was the beautiful fireplace screen that my client had put in after they moved in of polish chrome and black glass. I loved that. The have this amazing Asian art in the niches. I felt that the simple niches did nothing for the pieces and need light, and so we began the room's transformation.

Timmerman Photography This project is located up on the hillside of Paradise Valley and was built with great view of the valley in mind. We built the home with many floor-to-ceilings and negative-edge pool to capitalize on its great hillside location. It was a challenging home build because it was located on rock. We used specialized equipment so it would appear the home had settled there naturally without leaving a disruption around the home.
