Custom Luxury New Construction by KC Architects At KC Architects, we believe that exceptional residential architecture is born at the intersection of structural innovation and personal lifestyle. Led by licensed architect Katarzyna Cimoch, our premier Chicago-based firm brings a distinct European design sensibility to the local architectural landscape.

This primary bathroom remodel in Olney, Maryland, showcases a sophisticated transition from traditional architecture to a clean, modern aesthetic. The design centers on a high-contrast palette of crisp whites, deep blacks, and warm wood tones, creating a bright and functional sanctuary. Design Highlights Walk-In Shower: The curbless shower features large-format marble-veined wall tiles paired with a dark grey hexagonal mosaic floor. Matte black hardware, including a rain showerhead and a handheld wand, provides a bold, contemporary finish. Vanity & Storage: Dual white shaker-style vanities are topped with white quartz counters featuring subtle grey veining. Minimalist matte black faucets and pulls tie the look together. A custom window bench with drawer storage sits beneath the large arched window, maximizing utility and seating. Lighting & Fixtures: Modern four-light vanity fixtures with textured glass shades provide ample illumination. Rounded-corner black framed mirrors add a soft geometric touch to the workspace. Flooring: Durable luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring in a multi-tonal wood finish adds warmth to the space and balances the cooler tones of the cabinetry and tile. Architectural Features: The original arched window and vaulted ceiling were preserved and enhanced with custom plantation shutters, allowing for privacy without sacrificing the room's natural light. Frequently Asked Questions What are the benefits of using large-format tile in a shower? Large-format tiles create a more seamless appearance by reducing the number of grout lines. This not only makes the space feel larger and more open but also significantly reduces the surface area where mold and mildew can accumulate, making the shower easier to clean. Why choose matte black hardware over chrome or brushed nickel? Matte black serves as a strong "anchor" in a white bathroom, providing a high-contrast, modern look that hides water spots and fingerprints more effectively than polished finishes. It pairs exceptionally well with various wood tones and stone patterns. Is luxury vinyl plank (LVP) a good choice for a bathroom? Yes, high-quality LVP is 100% waterproof, making it an ideal choice for bathrooms. It offers the aesthetic warmth of hardwood—which is susceptible to moisture damage—with the durability and slip resistance needed for a wet environment. How does a custom window bench improve a bathroom layout? Beyond providing a place to sit, a custom bench utilizes the often-underused space beneath a window for extra storage. It creates a cohesive, "built-in" look that ties the vanities together and adds a high-end, furniture-like quality to the room. What is the advantage of a "design-build" approach for a remodel like this? The design-build model integrates both the design and construction phases into a single contract. This ensures that the aesthetic vision stays within the established budget and allows for better communication between the designers and the craftsmen during the actual renovation.

Home away from home is where we often meet our clients, especially in Bend. They crave a welcoming and approachable, yet luxurious and well curated vacation home. This custom home in Central Oregon’s Caldera Springs neighborhood was no exception. An investment property the owners and their family will use occasionally, the home had to speak to their overall aesthetic, while graciously accommodating rental guests throughout the year. Design for each space was a collaboration with our clients, who selected “inspiration” fabrics and artwork that tell a story and bring warmth and personality to the home. We designed hard-wearing custom furniture, composed layers of luxe bedding, placed photography by local artist and photographer Chris Murray, and added comfortable and low maintenance furniture outside, where everyone wants to be year-round in Bend. Working with the property manager, we checked every item off a comprehensive list to outfit the chef’s kitchen and ensure guests would have all the comforts of home. This home is available for short-term vacation rental through Bennington Properties in Sunriver, OR. Photography by Kayla McKenzie Photography

This home, located in a historic area of Dallas, was an opportunity to satisfy a client with very discerning taste. To suit his level of entertaining, he desired a sophisticated, old NY lounge style, powder room for guests. The bathroom was completely gutted except for the 48” tall wainscoting that remains an important element of the room’s ambiance. The stall shower in the room was removed and the commode relocated in its place, out of the direct line of vision. All fixtures are custom pieces, including a vanity with semi-precious stone counter. Exquisite custom Sherle Wagner fixtures were selected for the sink and faucet along with the vanity drawer pulls, towel ring, toilet paper holder and grab bar. A burled wood, antique-inspired accent table beautifully complements the custom upholstered chair. The outdoor area is decadent with lots of amenities. Travertine flooring, A/C and heated pool cabana boasts a custom onyx underlit table and folding glass doors, outdoor glass rock fireplace ensures the beautiful light stucco does not get dirty from wood burning. It’s the perfect spot for lounging! The lap pool is specially designed with a resistance pump for swimming in backyard with a limited pool space.

This custom backyard was designed for both family fun and refined craftsmanship. The geometric pool features a raised spa, expansive tanning ledge with in-water loungers, integrated slide, and premium finishes throughout. The true showpiece, however, is the meticulous glass tile installation that elevates the entire design. Glass tile is one of the most demanding finishes in pool construction, requiring exceptional precision to achieve perfectly aligned joints, crisp corners, and a flawless finished appearance. The rich blue glass tile wrapping the raised spa creates a stunning visual centerpiece, adding depth, color, and brilliance that changes beautifully throughout the day as it reflects the sunlight and water. Paired with elegant natural stone coping and clean architectural lines, this custom pool showcases how superior craftsmanship and premium materials come together to create a timeless luxury backyard. **Features:** Premium glass tile • Raised spa with full glass tile finish • Custom gunite pool • Tanning ledge with in-water loungers • Integrated slide • Natural stone coping • Luxury custom pool design • Expert tile craftsmanship

Victoria McHugh Photography Lakeside Custom Cabinetry,LLC Chris Hummel Construction Vogler Metalwork & Design A huge amount of functional storage space was designed into an otherwise small kitchen through the use of purpose built, custom cabinetry. The homeowner knew exactly how she wanted to organize her kitchen tools. A knife drawer was specially made to fit her collection of knives. The open shelving on the range side serves as easy access to her cookware as well as a garbage pullout. We were able to relocate and center the range and copper range hood made by Vogler Metalworks by removing a center island and replacing it with a honed black granite counter top peninsula. The subway tile backsplash on the sink wall is taken up to the soffit with the exception of dark bull nose used to frame the wall sconce made by Vaughn. The kitchen also serves as an informal entryway from the lake and exterior brick patio so the homeowners were desperate to have a way to keep shoes from being scattered on the floor. We took an awkward corner and fitted it with custom built cabinetry that housed not only the family's shoes but kitty litter, dog leashes, car keys, sun hats and lotions.

Kitchen – Statement Island & Cohesive Modern Design | Toronto This view highlights the kitchen island as the visual and functional centerpiece of the space, anchoring the open-concept main floor with a clean, modern presence. Its proportions were carefully considered to support everyday use—providing generous prep space, casual seating, and clear circulation around the kitchen. The island works in harmony with the surrounding custom slab-door cabinetry, reinforcing a cohesive design language throughout the room. Material continuity, balanced tones, and precise alignment give the kitchen an overall polished look that feels intentional rather than over-designed. Beyond aesthetics, the island plays a key role in how the kitchen functions—serving as a gathering point for family and guests while maintaining strong sightlines to adjacent living areas. This balance of form and function reflects Cedarstone Group Inc.’s design-build approach: creating kitchens that look exceptional and work effortlessly in real life.
