Search results for "Downward" in Home Design Ideas

Nestled in an undeveloped thicket between two homes on Monmouth road, the Eastern corner of this client’s lot plunges ten feet downward into a city-designated stormwater collection ravine. Our client challenged us to design a home, referencing the Scandinavian modern style, that would account for this lot’s unique terrain and vegetation.
Through iterative design, we produced four house forms angled to allow rainwater to naturally flow off of the roof and into a gravel-lined runoff area that drains into the ravine. Completely foregoing downspouts and gutters, the chosen design reflects the site’s topography, its mass changing in concert with the slope of the land.
This two-story home is oriented around a central stacked staircase that descends into the basement and ascends to a second floor master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The main entrance—a triangular form subtracted from this home’s rectangular plan—opens to a kitchen and living space anchored with an oversized kitchen island. On the far side of the living space, a solid void form projects towards the backyard, referencing the entryway without mirroring it. Ground floor amenities include a bedroom, full bathroom, laundry area, office and attached garage.
Among Architecture Office’s most conceptually rigorous projects, exterior windows are isolated to opportunities where natural light and a connection to the outdoors is desired. The Monmouth home is clad in black corrugated metal, its exposed foundations extending from the earth to highlight its form.

Double shower - mid-sized contemporary 3/4 gray tile and marble tile light wood floor double shower idea in San Francisco with a one-piece toilet, gray walls, an undermount sink, quartz countertops and a hinged shower door

We really enjoyed building this unique traditional style staircase in a beautiful home in Park City, UT. The three stacked freestanding staircases wrap around a glass elevator. The stair is unique in that the owner wanted the outside stringer to follow the octagon shape of the wall while having the inside stringer circular. The stair consists of Alder stringers and curbing, Hickory treads, and a custom Alder handrail profile. The open risers allow more light to permeate the staircase and the curvature of the treads makes the stairs feel as if they flow seamlessly downward around the elevator. Forged metal balusters with a clear satin finish make up the guardrail infill, and for a little extra flair we included several Tuscan panels. Overall, the wood and iron are a classic combination and give a distinguished look.

Note the "all refrigerator" and "all freezer" standing side by side and the nice deep drawers beneath the ovens and pantry.

This project is a simple family gathering space next to the lake, with a small screen pavilion at waters edge. The large volume is used for music performances and family events. A seasonal (unheated) space allows us to utilize different windows--tllt in awnings, downward operating single hung windows, all with single glazing.

We recently completed a fabulous bathroom renovation, drawing inspiration from our client’s serene beachside vacation. They fell in love with the calming blue hues of the ocean, the sky and even seashells they collected. They found a real version that perfectly encapsulated the dreamy blue in the vacation bathroom and brought it home. The Ballard Blue vanity pairs perfectly with the subtle blue hints in the Cambria Quartz top. You will find accents of the same blue in the penny round tiles in the shower niche. The unique starburst floor tiles perfectly complement the natural blue hues found throughout the space. We replaced the outdated 5’ mirror with two elegant mirrors which create a beautiful symmetry above the double sinks. The previously installed snazzy LED lights didn’t quite capture the calm our clients were seeking, so we added softer downward lights instead. This dream bathroom wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible work of Project Manager, Steve Shanholtz, our talented Sarah design duo (Sarah Domery and Sarah McDonald) and our master craftsman, Dave Buran. Our team made walking into this bathroom feel like vacation every day!

This modern family home sits atop stone ledges overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The newly constructed home is a contemporary shingle style with a twist of Vermont country. The first floor is anchored by a family style eat-in kitchen adjoining an open floor plan that takes advantage of the panoramic views of the Atlantic. The second floor is comprised of three junior suites and a master suite with a balcony. The three car garage, play room above and in-law suite in the basement complete the interior of the home. The approach up the driveway provides a glimpse of the dramatic ocean views through a passageway between the house and mature arborvitae. A series of retaining walls undulating from the ocean facing elevation creates gathering areas at different levels as the lot slopes downward toward the stone ledge.

Is 'Fleishman Is In Trouble' Season 2 On The Cards? "Fleishman Is In Trouble" is an action sequel that debuted on Hulu and also enticed viewers to engage. Once the story is complete viewers are curious about what happens to the intention of Fleishman's account. And we're here to give an explanation.
To put it in perspective, Fleishman exists in Hazard and is a witness to divorced Toby Fleishman whose power is generosity to persuade when he is able to win a winning streak in the planet of love. The joy he experiences is fleeting when his ex-wife mysteriously disappears leaving him with two children.
As the story progresses, it is revealed that he lies about numerous accounts, including the way he raised his children. He must figure out why the marriage broke up before making a decision on what happened to the ex-wife. It's almost a double season. Let's get more effective.
Here's Why 'Fleishman Is In Trouble' Season 2 Won't Transpire
Fleishman The Fleishman Trouble season 2 - a second preference will not be a reality. The series is already established as an untrue miniseries/sequence. We're all aware that miniseries are only rerun to a double season when they're as good in quality as Big Little Lies.
Most likely, they have reached the end of their days. The lives of the survivors will still attract a lot of observers.
The structure of the sequence slowed the concerns about a possible revival or a growth into a regular sequence.
Brodesser-Akner was joking about presenting another season of "Fleishman Is In Trouble" via a tweet.
The tweet reads "The double season of FLEISHMAN IS IN TROUBLE stands predicated on the thought that the Fleishman's intention exists for a forthcoming household within five years."
She stated, Apparently, I'm fooling and merely observing GODFATHER II, which is not a Christmas film despite including an ensemble of youngsters who stand extremely Christmassy. There is no double season of FLEISHMAN!"
Although we know the situation, it's not going to be resolved, Unfortunately.
The Cast Of 'Fleishman Exists In Situation' Lectured Almost The Future Possibility
Brodesser Akner stated that the succession follows in a narrow order that also is complete.
Brodesser-Akner has recently described, "It's an unreasonable succession. This account stands the textbook's capacity, and I suppose it's concluded."
In addition, I remarked, "I'm likewise seduced to never tolerate these consistencies. It's heartbreaking. Whatever I register, the following choice exists a negligibly undersized climax to my bones than this, correct? This was willingly and considerably important, something I can discern in my belly."
Claire did manage, "Oh, I consider that it should stand as it is. I think it communicated what it promised. Although I loved everyone I worked with, I'm still messaging out. They're real friends who only talk with regard to the subject.
This happens only occasionally. It's only a sign that the project succeeds! This is why I received significant assistance from this source. Continuous companionship is a crucial one. A huge and succulent cherry in the tree."
In the end, we will allow for a continuation following the initial confirmation of succession Brodesser-Akner said, "I'm overjoyed to live and expand the energy of Fleishman's on the web with such intelligent, thoughtful and brave members.
When I wrote this book I was looking to discover on my own the enigmatic nature and the politics of marriage and the median generation. The registration of the textbook helped tremendously, and I am confident that this concert will fulfill the goal."

'The claw chandelier' starts life at the floor level as a freestanding space divider between living and dining areas, and screening the kitchen door from the main entrance of the apartment. As it soars upwards in the double height living area, it nestles within carved teakwood fins which guide it to the ceiling at 21ft, from where it fans out across the room before each arm arcs downward holding a custom light pendant in brass and solid acrylic rods.

Many homeowners have their own ideas about how light or dark their home interiors should be. Some folks love nothing more than sunny, light-filled rooms. Other people adore their comforting, softly-lit spaces.
While light levels can be a matter of personal preference, lighting can also be a powerful tool for shaping the mood, emotional tone and usage of every room. In fact, lighting is just as important as furnishings.
Lighting Tips
1. Stay Warm
Cool light looks brighter to the eye and can seem more like daylight. It can also make your home feel like a hospital or grocery store, which is not what we’re going for. Warm light is softer and creates a more relaxed mood. That’s what you want in your home.
2. Yes, You Can
We’re big fans of can lighting. These in-ceiling lights draw zero attention to themselves while creating a foundation for excellent interior lighting. We add lamps for emphasis and mood in particular areas and put everything on a dimmer switch (see #3). This formula gives you maximum flexibility.
3. The Great Dimmer
What did people do before the dimmer switch was invented? We suspect they shielded their eyes or huddled together in the dark because there was nothing inbetween. We use dimmer switches everywhere except the bathroom. Controlling the level of every light in your home allows you to create the right mood for the moment every time.
4. Beam Me Up
We’re head over heels in love with this stunning raw wood beam wrapped with light bulbs on cords. Flip one dimmer switch and all the lights go on, at the exact intensity level you choose. The can lights in the ceiling gently illuminate the room, so this fabulous fixture can serve its true purpose—which is to create an irresistibly inviting space and a found-object, vintage vibe.
5. Open Bulb Policy
Many of our light fixtures feature exposed bulbs. Once upon a time, light bulbs might have been ugly, but clear Edison bulbs, showing the filaments within, are themselves works of art. In a chandelier with an open, orb structure, candelabra bulbs are reminiscent of candle flames. A small lamp with a square metal base and a single bulb takes the open concept one step further.
6. Double Up
Above a long dining table or bar, consider using multiple light fixtures. Especially with hanging light fixtures, we tend to think of putting just one in the middle. But lighting only the center of a long table would leave some of your dinner guests in the dark while others take the spotlight.
7. Reflections
Reflections off mirrors, glass and tile bring a secondary light source into play and add a soft, beautiful touch. Candles create particularly compelling reflections.
8. Looking Up
In high, open spaces, a light fixture can help balance the space, bringing the eye downward and helping make the area less cavernous and more inviting.
9. Looking Out
Lighting is also a safety issue. Make sure you can turn on the stair lights at the top and the bottom of the stairs. Incorporate the flexibility to light up the room you’re entering before you get there, so you aren’t stumbling around in the dark, trying to find the switch.
10. How Low Can You Go?
While low light may be flattering, people tend to err on the side of too little light, rather than too much. Turn up that dimmer a notch more than you would normally and you may like what you see. Having sufficient light is particularly important in areas such as basements, where there may be little to no natural light.
