Originally built in 1955, this modest penthouse apartment typified the small, separated living spaces of its era. The design challenge was how to create a home that reflected contemporary taste and the client’s desire for an environment rich in materials and textures. The keys to updating the space were threefold: break down the existing divisions between rooms; emphasize the connection to the adjoining 850-square-foot terrace; and establish an overarching visual harmony for the home through the use of simple, elegant materials.
The renovation preserves and enhances the home’s mid-century roots while bringing the design into the 21st century—appropriate given the apartment’s location just a few blocks from the fairgrounds of the 1962 World’s Fair.

Not all garage doors are created equal. Dynamic Garage Doors are custom designed for each individual project. Our full custom design and manufacturing abilities allow us to create unique custom garage doors that naturally blend into each home's authentic architectural style.
This Mid Century style carport was converted into a fully functional garage but presented a problem when it came time to retrofit it with a custom wood garage door. Since the ground was pitched at a sloping angle it required the need of a custom designed asymmetrical garage door that would compensate for the huge gap at the bottom of the garage door opening. Taking careful measurements was of essence to handcraft a garage door that would fit perfectly into the awkwardly shaped garage opening. Once everything was calculated to perfection our designers came up with a minimalistic Mid Century style garage door design that would complement the home's architectural elements. The answer was a fine-lined garage door design with horizontal tongue and groove slats in solid mahogany that were carefully stained to simulate and match the home's existing ipe wood accents. We opted for ipe-stained mahogany in lieu of real ipe to save the client on the custom garage door cost while still delivering a garage door that will last a lifetime and look like a naturally blended architectural element of the home.
Enclosing the carport and adding a Dynamic Garage Door re-purposed and graduated a simple carport to a fully functional garage with a working automatic garage door. Investing in a custom garage door for this sloping carport will prove to return the investment at time of resale. Not to mention, of course, the curb appeal enhancement it gave the home.

Using the seller's sofas, mirror and coffee table, we replaced the window coverings with sheer curtains to filter the light, and brought in some modern throw pillows. The walls were painted in a quiet grey, to enhance the warm color of the hardwood floor.

Our client contacted us regarding their outdated bathroom. They could not handle
taking a shower in their “TOMB” shower anymore. They wanted to update their
bathroom giving it a streamlined look with a traditional touch.
Our client’s desires were:
• Wanted a large open shower
• Wanted a larger master closet
• Wanted a better way of excising the wall cabinet by the vanity
• They wanted to remove their Jacuzzi tub
After coming up with a design that satisfied the customer’s needs, we started the demo
process and ran into the first obstacle. Because of the construction of the original
closed shower, there was no moisture barrier used which caused the existing framing
and exterior sheathing to decay. We were also startled by what look like an expanding
black cloud of carpenter ants, when we opened up the wall.
After making the necessary repairs, we continued with the remodel which consisted of a
dramatic large shower, the large subway design, granite shelving along with the bronze
accent tile that enhances the over all look of the show er. It also gave it a larger
appearance with the custom glass enclose. Another concern we had after relocating the
shower to its new location, was that it was under an existing skylight. We felt that there
maybe a moisture concern especially during the winter months. To over come this
obstacle we installed an exhaust fan near the ceiling in the w all above the shower. We
painted the exhaust fan grill the same color of the walls, so the fan would not stand out.
To make sure that there would not be any problem with condensation around the
skylight , we trimmed the skylight with azek material.
We installed custom cabinets that reflected the look the client was trying to achieve.
During this process we over came our last obstacle by installing bi-fold style doors on
the wall cabinet next to the vanity, which would swing completely out of the way so the
customer could have full access to the slide drawers. The handles were placed on the
doors to make it look like a regular two door wall cabinet. The bi-fold action also
allowanced it to clear a wall sconce.

Modern renovation by J Design Group is stunning
J Design Group, an expert in luxury design, completed a new project in Tamarac, Florida, which involved the total interior remodeling of this home. We were so intrigued by the photos and design ideas, we decided to talk to J Design Group CEO, Jennifer Corredor. The concept behind the redesign was inspired by the client’s relocation.
Andrea Campbell: How did you get a feel for the client's aesthetic?
Jennifer Corredor: After a one-on-one with the Client, I could get a real sense of her aesthetics for this home and the type of furnishings she gravitated towards.
The redesign included a total interior remodeling of the client's home. All of this was done with the client's personal style in mind. Certain walls were removed to maximize the openness of the area and bathrooms were also demolished and reconstructed for a new layout. This included removing the old tiles and replacing with white 40” x 40” glass tiles for the main open living area which optimized the space immediately. Bedroom floors were dressed with exotic African Teak to introduce warmth to the space.
We also removed and replaced the outdated kitchen with a modern look and streamlined, state-of-the-art kitchen appliances. To introduce some color for the backsplash and match the client's taste, we introduced a splash of plum-colored glass behind the stove and kept the remaining backsplash with frosted glass. We then removed all the doors throughout the home and replaced with custom-made doors which were a combination of cherry with insert of frosted glass and stainless steel handles.
All interior lights were replaced with LED bulbs and stainless steel trims, including unique pendant and wall sconces that were also added. All bathrooms were totally gutted and remodeled with unique wall finishes, including an entire marble slab utilized in the master bath shower stall.
Once renovation of the home was completed, we proceeded to install beautiful high-end modern furniture for interior and exterior, from lines such as B&B Italia to complete a masterful design. One-of-a-kind and limited edition accessories and vases complimented the look with original art, most of which was custom-made for the home.
To complete the home, state of the art A/V system was introduced. The idea is always to enhance and amplify spaces in a way that is unique to the client and exceeds his/her expectations.

Renovisions received a request from these homeowners to remodel their existing master bath with the design goal: a spa-like environment featuring a large curb-less shower with multiple showerheads and a linear drain. Accessibility features include a hand-held showerhead mounted on a sliding bar with separate volume controls, a large bench seat in Blue Pearl granite and a decorative safety bar in a chrome finish. Multiple showerheads accommodated our clients ranging heights and requests for options including a more rigorous spray of water to a soft flow from a ceiling mounted rain showerhead. The various sprays provide a full luxury shower experience.
The curb-less Schluter shower system incorporates a fully waterproof and vapor tight environment to ensure a beautiful, durable and functional tiled shower. In this particular shower, Renovisions furnished and installed an elegant low-profile linear floor drain with a sloped floor design to enable the use of the attractive large-format (17” x 17”) Carrera-look porcelain tiles. Coordinating Carrera-look porcelain tiles with a band of color and shower cubby in Blue Pearl granite tie in with the color of the tile seat and ledge. A custom frameless glass shower enclosure with sleek glass door handles showcases the beautiful tile design.
Replacing the existing Corian acrylic countertops and integrated sinks with granite countertops in Blue Pearl and rectangular under mount porcelain sinks created a gorgeous, striking contrast to the white vanity cabinetry. The widespread faucets featuring crystal handles in a chrome finish, sconce lighting with crystal embellishments and crystal knobs were perfect choices to enhance the elegant look for the desired space.
After a busy day at work, our clients come home and enjoy a renewed, more open sanctuary/spa-like master bath and relax in style.

To enhance our client's existing hand-made drapery, we adorned it with a stunning pink linen ruffle skirt, adding a touch of elegance and drama. The result was truly breathtaking, and our client couldn't contain her excitement! The combination of the original drapery with the added ruffle skirt was a match made in heaven.

The first picture is the before. a 1990's shotgun home, ending with sliding glass doors and transom windows above. The after photo shows the results of the owner's wish to enhance the existing space, expand beyond the glass doors, to better frame the views of the Inter-coastal water way and marsh.

This large expanse of lawn needed a major make over. Designer added many color full water wise shrubs, ornamental grasses and perennials. Took out 85% of existing lawn and added a new patio, steps, garden with grow boxes and strategic screens too.
Designed for maximum enjoyment and preserving/enhancing their views while saving much water and maintenance.
