Castaway An Oceanfront Residence Clearwater, Florida ​ This breathtaking ocean-front family vacation retreat is positioned between the beach and harbor, an idyllic haven offering panoramic sunset views that will leave you in awe.

In the dining room and master bedroom, we meticulously selected the perfect "Santorini blue" tones for the accent walls to continue to narrate their story. ​ Crafted with Treefrog veneers, the custom millwork combines elegance with durability, while the bathrooms exude a spa-like serenity with their natural textures and sandy hues, enhanced by thoughtful lighting. ​ For the kids' room, we embraced vibrant colors and durable materials, ensuring a space where creativity knows no bounds. Meanwhile, the guest bedroom invites tropical relaxation with its palm leaf motifs and organic accents. Overall, our design ethos revolves around a light and airy color palette, inspired by the tranquil hues of sand and sea. Strategic pops of color breathe life and vibrancy into the space, creating the perfect atmosphere for a dreamy vacation home experience.

Discover Our Transformation of a Historic Gem in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid! We are thrilled to unveil our latest project in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid - a timeless treasure originally designed in 1890 by the renowned architect, Jacob Klinkhamer. Embracing the rich history of this distinguished house, we have transformed it into a welcoming and contemporary home, meticulously tailored to suit the needs of its new family. Preserving the heritage and beauty of the street façade, which holds a protected municipal monument status, we ensured that only minor adjustments were made to maintain its historical charm. However, behind the elegant exterior, a comprehensive interior renovation and structural overhaul awaited. From deepening the basement floor to introducing an elevator shaft, we left no stone unturned in reimagining this space for modern living. Every aspect of the layout was thoughtfully rearranged to maximize functionality and create a seamless flow between the rooms. The result? A harmonious blend of classic and contemporary design, reflecting the spirit of the past while embracing the comforts of today. The crowning jewel of this project is the addition of a stunning modern roof terrace, providing breathtaking views of the city skyline and the perfect spot for relaxation and entertainment. We invite you to explore the transformation of this historic gem on our website. Witness the marriage of old-world charm with modern elegance, and see how we transformed a house into a cherished home.

What Is Modern Style? Modern style has its roots in the modernist movement of the early and mid-20th century. Modern architecture and furnishings emphasize form and structure rather than surface ornamentation — think of large expanses of glass; smooth surfaces like concrete, steel, stone and wood; and accents of chrome and black leather. Modern style is: - Clean. Excess embellishment is considered a distraction and to be avoided. Think crisp, clean and sculptural. Shapes are strong, with clearly defined lines and planes. - Architectural. Furnishings echo rather than distract attention from the architecture for a seamless look. - Minimal. Modern style embraces negative space with spare furnishings and little color or pattern. Modern style is not: - Ornamented. A reaction against heavily ornamented traditional styles, this look embraces simplicity of form. - Trendy. Unlike contemporary style, which taps into up-to-the-minute changes in the design world, modern design feels more securely rooted. - Cluttered. Furnishings are chosen with care, and accessories are kept to a minimum for a clean, spacious look.

Embracing the owner’s desire for a cozy ambiance, we selected frost penny tiles for the floor and timeless subway tiles for the shower walls, accentuated by a subtle light gray grout color to enhance the tile’s colors. The Winnberg mirror with an LED light creates the glow you need before you start your day. The temperature tuning allows you to select the warm or cool color desired for precise shaving or makeup application. The custom-built closet with shelves maximizes space utilization, and the door with small baskets provides even more storage options.

Embracing the natural elements of this circa 1960’s Condo development in Stowe Vermont was a priority for our clients. We worked closely with a great design team and our clients to create this simple, but beautiful minimalist retreat. Our clients, both authors, wanted a place to withdraw from the endless distractions and fast pace rhythms of the city. Custom made cabinets, bookshelves and built ins helped off set the sandblasted CMU block walls and ground concrete floors. A beautiful handcrafted stairwell was a center piece connecting the three floors. A handcrafted integrated concrete sink in the master is was another testament to the mixed mediums used to create this space. We embraced exposed conduit and commercial grade light fixtures throughout which helped add to the overall minimalist feel of the space. There is a beautiful rawness to this project which everyone came to admire.

Transitional Kitchen Remodel with Exposed Brick in Downtown Frederick Row House This imaginative remodel takes a two-story addition on a classic downtown Frederick row house and transforms it into a dream kitchen. The design seamlessly blends transitional style with the home's historic charm, creating a warm and inviting space. Taking Center Stage: Exposed Brick and Transitional Touches The focal point of the kitchen is the exposed brick wall that continues from the existing structure up the new two-story addition. This rustic element is cleverly incorporated around the custom hood vent positioned directly above the cooktop. The hood vent has a sleek, stainless-steel design with a modern profile, contrasting beautifully with the warmth of the brick. Transitional Elements Throughout The rest of the kitchen embraces the transitional theme. Imagine Sedona blue full overlay-style cabinets with clean lines and brushed nickel hardware. These cabinets offer ample storage while maintaining a fitting look to the space. The countertops are wood butcher block, complementing both the blue cabinets and the exposed brick. A Touch of Luxury Elevate the space with a statement backsplash. To add a hint of luxury, incorporate a band of mosaic tiles just above the countertop, running the entire length of the backsplash. Light and Bright Flood the kitchen with natural light by incorporating windows in the new addition. Adding recessed lighting and stylish pendant lights to further brighten the room. Warming Touches Ground the space with Sedona blue wood accents. This can be achieved through open shelving strategically placed next to the cabinetry, showcasing cookbooks, pottery, or other decorative items. The flooring can be a dark-brown hardwood that complements the exposed brick and the warmth of the wood accents. Seating and Functionality For a casual dining area, incorporate a peninsula with seating for two. The peninsula can also house additional storage and prep space. To maximize functionality, consider a dining area with a table for four that blends with the décor. Appliance Harmony Stainless steel appliances with clean lines will seamlessly integrate with the transitional design. Consider a built-in oven and microwave for a sleek, uncluttered look. Bringing it all Together This thoughtful remodel creates a stunning and functional kitchen that celebrates the home's historic charm while embracing modern conveniences. The exposed brick wall acts as a conversation starter, while the transitional elements create a timeless and inviting space perfect for entertaining or everyday family meals.

XS residence is a living concept proposal for singles. The project is characterized by its L-shaped, elevated floor. The height differences on the floor as well as on the ceiling are the sole elements that define the space. The apartment is hence transparent, yet given the sense of rooms and corners. This former warehouse has existing pipes cutting through the interior at the entry where it resulted in stairs and undesirable, immediate climbs. By embracing the obstacle and extending it, the reading of the new, one bedroom apartment is as pure as lines (flows) and surfaces (spaces). The heart of the radial layout is a sunken gathering platform. This introvert space is embraced by the elevated floor, which serves as the extension of seating, The visitors thereby sit naturally facing each other and converse. The elevated outer ring is an active, fluid platform which receives visitors. At its height, the dinning guests have a great view toward the city skyline which is otherwise hindered. This space also creates a buffer to the exterior where neighbors pass by. The renovation removed the old flat ceiling, exposing the pitched roof structure to enhance the scale change of the space. The apartment is at its maximum height where activities and interactions take place and shrinks at the perimeter. It is an open layout with sense of spaces and intimacy.

Nestled in the heart of Boulder, this 1950s ranch home was thoughtfully transformed to embrace modern living while honoring the charm and character of the neighborhood. The client wished for their home to become a place of gathering and community. This design embraces the open-concept floor plan by dissolving boundaries and encouraging organic interactions between the spaces within the home and with the surrounding landscape. At the heart of this transformation stands a strategically positioned wood-burning stove, which can be enjoyed from the dining or living areas, perfect for cozy winter nights. The kitchen dining space emerges as the vibrant epicenter of this family-friendly home with a fluid transition to the patio and garden. Vaulted ceilings accentuated with skylights illuminate the space with natural light, creating an airy, expansive feel; while the French oak flooring introduces a touch of grounding warmth and nature. The bedroom wing, intentionally secluded, offers an intimate sanctuary. En-suite bathrooms feature hints of luxury, including a steam shower and a soaking tub, elevating the space for an indulgent spa experience. Beyond the aesthetics, the fire-wise design includes non-combustible exterior materials, defensible space, and closed soffits. This fully electric home also prioritizes sustainability with features such as electric vehicle and solar power readiness, water-conserving landscaping, and an aging-in-place layout. Collaboration was key in transforming this house into the “forever home“ the couple envisioned and can now enjoy for many years to come - Photography by Dane Cronin

Above and Beyond is the third residence in a four-home collection in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Originally the site of the abandoned Kachina Elementary School, the infill community, appropriately named Kachina Estates, embraces the remarkable views of Camelback Mountain. Nestled into an acre sized pie shaped cul-de-sac lot, the lot geometry and front facing view orientation created a remarkable privacy challenge and influenced the forward facing facade and massing. An iconic, stone-clad massing wall element rests within an oversized south-facing fenestration, creating separation and privacy while affording views “above and beyond.” Above and Beyond has Mid-Century DNA married with a larger sense of mass and scale. The pool pavilion bridges from the main residence to a guest casita which visually completes the need for protection and privacy from street and solar exposure. The pie-shaped lot which tapered to the south created a challenge to harvest south light. This was one of the largest spatial organization influencers for the design. The design undulates to embrace south sun and organically creates remarkable outdoor living spaces. This modernist home has a palate of granite and limestone wall cladding, plaster, and a painted metal fascia. The wall cladding seamlessly enters and exits the architecture affording interior and exterior continuity. Kachina Estates was named an Award of Merit winner at the 2019 Gold Nugget Awards in the category of Best Residential Detached Collection of the Year. The annual awards ceremony was held at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference in San Francisco, CA in May 2019.

Modern kitchens embrace a clutter-free and minimalist approach. Countertops are often kept clear and uncluttered, with essential appliances and items neatly stored away in cabinets or drawers. Ample storage solutions are integrated into the design to maintain a clean and organized appearance. Open Concept: Modern kitchens often flow seamlessly into the surrounding living or dining areas, emphasizing an open concept layout. This promotes a sense of spaciousness, connectivity, and easy movement between different areas of the home. Overall, a modern-style kitchen embraces simplicity, clean lines, and a focus on functionality. It eliminates unnecessary ornamentation and prioritizes sleek surfaces, efficient storage, and a streamlined design aesthetic. Here we have modern-style kitchen with custom cabinet, quartz countertop that are durable, easy to clean, and have a sleek, contemporary appearance that also continue to the backsplash area.
