Sweeney Design Remodel turned an aged and uninviting space into a bright and cheery kitchen. The kitchen was updated with new stainless steel appliances, including a stainless steel range hood. The dark cabinets were replaced with white custom cabinetry, topped with granite countertops, and complemented with a striking blue-gray ceramic tile backsplash. To further brighten the kitchen, the walls were accented with flattering blue-gray wall paint. New red oak hardwood flooring gave the kitchen a chic, modern look without dramatically altering the coziness the homeowners wanted to preserve in their home. The ceiling can lights, under-cabinet lighting, and two focal-point pendants above the island addressed needs for both general and task lighting.

Schulte Design Build collaborated with the homeowners of this 1930 brick Tudor Green Lake home to dramatically update and modernize their kitchen and a second-floor master suite. The kitchen was first expanded by removing an arched dividing wall, giving the family twice the amount of counter space. The new design considered all end uses for the best layout of the new cabinets, appliances, and lighting fixtures, along with an area for a breakfast table. The color palette chosen was white shaker cabinets with white quartz for countertop and backsplash and contrasting dark hardwoods to make the most of the available light. Results – a beautiful, bright and open kitchen perfect for their lifestyle and entertaining plans. Upstairs, we altered the space from two small bedrooms and an outdated bathroom to a spacious master bedroom suite with extended ceilings, plenty of storage, and a clean, modern bathroom to match. The design really utilized every inch of the sloped roof for extra closet space. The clients are thrilled with the results!

Lighting options for your landscape project are only limited by your imagination. Soft white or colored lighting can dramatically alter the look and feel of a selected area of your garden. In this photo, you can see the Asian style lanterns we installed. We positioned the one in the foreground to highlight one area of the garden. We placed the other two on either side of the steps leading to the deck. They not only provide a strong light source to provide safety, but they also act to entice the visitor to climb the steps and explore another area of the garden landscape.

The footprint of the kitchen was not drastically altered; however it was fully redesigned to seamlessly integrate with the dining and living areas. Walls were removed that framed the existing layout and separated the kitchen from the adjacent rooms. The side of the cabinetry facing the dining room and living room now showcase a dramatic bar and counter seating area clad in steel panels and a 7” thick walnut countertop with hidden storage. The staircase was transformed from a walled enclosure in the center of the structure into a midcentury modern work of art created from metal, wood and cable. It is now a central element, visible from all common areas on the first and second floors. Photo: Peter Krupenye

Brush-Turner-Hirshfeld Building - Tenant Space Renovation and Remodel - Jim Nix - AIA - Austin Architect - Nix Group Architects – Residential and Commercial Architecture Firm - Austin Texas – 78701. This 1872 retail building originally had twice the street presence as it has today. In 1924, half of the building was purchased to make way for the new Stephen F. Austin Hotel. The building's facade was altered on numerous occasions, but the most dramatic change occurred when the building assumed an eclectic French Modern look in the 1970's, leaving none of the original facade. In 1999, it was decided to return the building back to its original architectural styling. By using the limited historic photographs taken of Congress Avenue at varying distances from the building as well as by studying other buildings of the same era, the buildings historic proportions and details were determined.

Located in the heart of a 1920’s urban neighborhood, this classically designed home went through a dramatic transformation. Several updates over the years had rendered the space dated and feeling disjointed. The main level received cosmetic updates to the kitchen, dining, formal living and family room to bring the decor out of the 90’s and into the 21st century. Space from a coat closet and laundry room was reallocated to the transformation of a storage closet into a stylish powder room. Upstairs, custom cabinetry, built-ins, along with fixture and material updates revamped the look and feel of the bedrooms and bathrooms. But the most striking alterations occurred on the home’s exterior, with the addition of a 24′ x 52′ pool complete with built-in tanning shelf, programmable LED lights and bubblers as well as an elevated spa with waterfall feature. A custom pool house was added to compliment the original architecture of the main home while adding a kitchenette, changing facilities and storage space to enhance the functionality of the pool area. The landscaping received a complete overhaul and Oaks Rialto pavers were added surrounding the pool, along with a lounge space shaded by a custom-built pergola. These renovations and additions converted this residence from well-worn to a stunning, urban oasis.
