While looking online for pass-through windows, this homeowner found the Gas Strut Window by ActivWall. She reached out to find more information and worked with ActivWall’s engineering team to customize the perfect window for her space. The 71″ wide by 62″ high window was manufactured in Martinsville, Virginia, and shipped directly to Melissa’s home for her contractor WellDone Remodel to install it. “Working with ActivWall was a pleasure,” she said. “From the first time I reached out, throughout the whole design process, and then fabrication, the team kept me updated on what was going on and was always available for any questions I might have.” Kitchen bar designed by Trish Wallet and constructed by WellDone Remodel.

Walpole's in-house design and engineering team worked closely with the contractor and structural engineers for two months to finalized joinery details on the Ocean House project. From conceptual drawings and a 3-D model, we demonstrated how materials would be assembled to execute the architect's structural concepts. Over the course of the Ocean House project, Walpole supplied hundreds of linear feet of exterior railing, wall caps, fence, gates, and arbors, all factory pre-painted and ready for efficient, mess free installation.

Love this beautiful kitchen featuring our Cité hardwood floor from our Urban loft series. Wire brushed floors are perfect to give an interesting depth to the floor.

This lovely guest bath features herringbone tile floor, frameless glass shower enclosure, and marble wall tiles. The espresso stained wood vanity is topped with a quartz countertop, undermount sink and wall mounted faucet.

This family loves to entertain; chef-focussed and energy efficient appliances include 48”-Wolfe dual-fuel range with wall-mounted pot filler, Sub-Zero glass-door refrigerator, and a refrigerated drawer wine-storage. The island extends 13.5ft and creates 5-person seating. The counter top and backsplash is partially recycled 'shitake' quartz.

For this project, the Houseplay team converted a single level, three bedroom/three bathroom apartment into a duplex. Thanks to the conversion, the family we worked with enjoys a new great room, including an expanded kitchen, two new skylights, and a laundry closet on main floor. They also have a new master bedroom suite on the lower level, including a bathroom, walk-in closet, and small office. We fitted new crown mouldings into the great room, and also added new baseboards, door mouldings, and raised-panel doors throughout the apartment. New flooring was installed in the kitchen to match the rest of the rooms before we refinished the hardwood floors throughout the duplex. Our team installed new recessed and feature lighting throughout the space, and we brought in a new tankless water heater along with all-new plumbing for the laundry area and master bathroom. The gorgeous glass tile in kitchen and master shower is our handiwork, as is the fresh coat of paint on all of the walls, ceilings, mouldings, and doors throughout the apartment.

When Cummings Architects first met with the owners of this understated country farmhouse, the building’s layout and design was an incoherent jumble. The original bones of the building were almost unrecognizable. All of the original windows, doors, flooring, and trims – even the country kitchen – had been removed. Mathew and his team began a thorough design discovery process to find the design solution that would enable them to breathe life back into the old farmhouse in a way that acknowledged the building’s venerable history while also providing for a modern living by a growing family. The redesign included the addition of a new eat-in kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, wrap around porch, and stone fireplaces. To begin the transforming restoration, the team designed a generous, twenty-four square foot kitchen addition with custom, farmers-style cabinetry and timber framing. The team walked the homeowners through each detail the cabinetry layout, materials, and finishes. Salvaged materials were used and authentic craftsmanship lent a sense of place and history to the fabric of the space. The new master suite included a cathedral ceiling showcasing beautifully worn salvaged timbers. The team continued with the farm theme, using sliding barn doors to separate the custom-designed master bath and closet. The new second-floor hallway features a bold, red floor while new transoms in each bedroom let in plenty of light. A summer stair, detailed and crafted with authentic details, was added for additional access and charm. Finally, a welcoming farmer’s porch wraps around the side entry, connecting to the rear yard via a gracefully engineered grade. This large outdoor space provides seating for large groups of people to visit and dine next to the beautiful outdoor landscape and the new exterior stone fireplace. Though it had temporarily lost its identity, with the help of the team at Cummings Architects, this lovely farmhouse has regained not only its former charm but also a new life through beautifully integrated modern features designed for today’s family.

The kitchen was the most dramatic change- we put in a beam to open up the wall between the kitchen and dining area. We also eliminated the cabinets on the far wall so we could re introduce a window that had been eliminated in a prior remodeling. The back door is in the far left in the picture.
