Project by Studio H:T principal in charge Brad Tomecek (now with Tomecek Studio Architecture). This project tests the theory of bringing high quality design to a prefabricated factory setting. Enrolled in the LEED-Home Pilot, this residence completed certification. The modular home was conceived as two boxes that slide above one another to create outdoor living space and a lower covered rear entry. The passive solar design invites large amounts of light from the south while minimizing openings to the east and west. Factory construction saves both time and costs while reducing waste and using a controlled labor force. Built in a factory north of Denver, the home arrived by flatbed truck in two pieces and was craned into place in about 4 hours providing a fast, sustainable, cost effective alternative to traditional homebuilding techniques. Upgraded lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, doors, door hardware, windows, tile and bamboo flooring were incorporated into the design. 80% of the residence was completed in the factory in less than 3 weeks and other items were finished on site including the exterior stucco, garage, metal railing and stair. Stack-Slide-Stitch describes the conceptual process of how to tie together two distinct modular boxes. Stack refers to setting one modular directly on top of the other. Slide refers to the action that creates an upper southern deck area while simultaneously providing a covered rear entry area. The stitching or interlocking occurs with the upward extension of the lower volume with the front deck walls and with the rear two story vertical.

Where: Idaho What: Commercial Product: AquaFir™ Slate Grey Solution: Horizontal Square Edge Lap, Circle Sawn texture Nothing gets you up in the morning like a good cup of coffee, and nothing is more inviting than the clean, crisp look of Montana Timber Products' AquaFir™ natural wood siding. Black Rock Coffee Bar of Boise, Idaho offers both: outstanding aesthetics and a fine cup of joe. - A clean, crisp professional look enhanced by Montana Timber Products' AquaFir™ siding. - AquaFir™ is Montana Timber Products' outstanding rustic natural wood siding, a reclaimed barn wood alternative that is milled from new, rough stock, kiln dried, chemical free wood. AquaFir™ uses a semi-transparent stain and intentionally incorporates the random wood grains and variable natural wood tones into the finish to give it a unique and beautiful look. The result is that AquaFir™ is an aesthetically beautiful rustic wood siding, an authentic reclaimed barn wood, and can be used as other reclaimed lumber alternatives. Typically less expensive than antique reclaimed barn wood, AquaFir™ offers uncompromising rustic wood beauty. - The warm, inviting texture of Circle Sawn on Douglas fir is an AquaFir™ hallmark. - A custom millwork shop, Montana Timber Products offers many options to the customer's delight. Circle Sawn and Wire Brushed are Montana Timber Products' common cedar siding texturizing options. The Circle Sawn texture commonly seen on rustic reclaimed barn wood is created from the large circular saw blades used in more traditional milling practices. The Wire Brushed option adds physical and aesthetic depth to the wood grain. In addition to the aesthetic beauty added from the texturing process, greater surface area is created, which allows the Seal-Once, 100% NO VOC waterproofer to more effectively penetrate the wood. Guaranteed for ten years, Seal-Once prevents water ingress and is safe for exterior and interior use, children and pets. - Square edge lap horizontal installation provides pleasant contrasts with light and shadow. - If the environmentally friendly and the renewable aspect of natural wood siding is important to you, be sure to do your homework when choosing your siding, interior accents, trim, timbers, or other wood siding products. Some companies choose to use degenerative chemicals to achieve the desired look and texture of rustic wood siding. This is not the case with Montana Timber Products. Vintage wood, reclaimed barn wood and reclaimed barn wood alternatives are very popular building materials due to their aesthetic beauty, traditional look, and chemical free finish.

Mid-sized 1960s galley brown floor open concept kitchen photo in Austin with an undermount sink, flat-panel cabinets, medium tone wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, an island, quartz countertops and orange countertops

American Black granite with eased edge, single basin, stainless steel undermount sink. This material is a VERY cost effective alternative to a black soapstone (approximately $65 less psf). Note the subtle veining in the material.

The newly refinished cabinets feature a durable, modern color perfect for South Florida homes. Cabinet refinishing is a cost-effective alternative to replacing kitchen cabinets in Boynton Beach.

This Hollywood Regency / Art Deco powder bathroom has a great graphic appeal which draws you into the space. The stripe pattern below wainscot on wall was created by alternating textures of rough and polished strips of Limestone tiles.

Step 3: A Painted Backsplash -- In place of a tile backsplash, I painted the lower portion of the wall in the same high-gloss oil paint I used on the cabinets, which provided a subtle contrast to the flat finish I’d used on the rest of the wall. It was a simple and cost-effective alternative to tile, and it stands up beautifully to splashes and splatters. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Vox Motivo Piedra 4 Pack This beautiful, classy range from Vox is new to the market in the UK and brings a real touch of sophistication to any wall to which it is applied. A huge seller in Europe, this range includes tile effect, wooden panel effect and marble effect all in stunning, high quality finishes. The panels can be used to clad an entire room or of course can be selectively displayed on a feature wall for a different effect. These 100% waterproof panels are also easy to keep clean and with no grouting required you can be assured that they are also extremely hygienic. The simple finishing system leads to quick and easy installation – a fantastic alternative to ceramic tiles, wallpapers and paints. Each panel measures 2700mm length x 250mm width.

This was a unique kitchen designed for a customer that loved symmetry. To complete this kitchen, we combined two cabinet lines. We selected Cabico for the island because of their customization ability. The island countertop as you can see was produced in glass and we had to make provisions for a recessed stainless-steel rail and cabinet tops to allow the installing of lighting to illuminate the underside if the glass. For the perimeter cabinets we selected our RTA (Ready-to-Assemble) Conestoga Wood cabinets as a cost effective alternative yet still offer the quality and precision the customer insisted upon.

These highly durable, maintenance-free panels offer the distinctive look of natural wood, yet are a cost effective alternative to real-wood and other aluminum wood-like panel competitors. Look no further and invest in your curb appeal with Sagiper today!
