We created an almost crystalline form that reflected the push and pull of the most important factors on the site: views directly to the NNW, an approach from the ESE, and of course, sun from direct south. To keep the size modest, we peeled away the excess spaces and scaled down any rooms that desired intimacy (the bedrooms) or did not require height (the pool room). Photographer credit: Irvin Serrano

Elm Grove, WI Butler's Pantry Sazama Design Build Remodel LLC This beautiful Elm Grove wetbar/Butler's Pantry has grey painted cabinets and a quartz counter.

This Granville OH bow-front deck uses Stainless Steel Top Rail with Stainless Steel Cable and End fittings from Stainless Cable & Railing. In this pic, you can actually see the end fittings in progress. The "angled stair washer" and 'hex nut" have been installed, but you can see the tensioner sticking out. The tensioner gets pushed through the post and the "hex nut" gets tightened until the cable is taught. Then it's allowed to settle some before final tightening, then cutting off the excess tensioner, and installing the "acorn nut".

This Distillery condo is an ideal example of a “minimalist living” concept. The 600 square feet one-bedroom apartment was once a dark and unmemorable condo. It consisted of three separate rooms (living room, kitchen and bedroom) and an excessive amount of circulation area. In order to maximize living space it was essential to eliminate corridors and open up common spaces. The bedroom was pushed back which allowed the perimeter to be occupied by kitchen/dining and living spaces.

In this "old world" traditional home, the client wanted modern elements and conveniences in the appliances and fixtures. Her love for stained wood with character led us to a knotty alder wood with a rich glaze. The combination of stainless steel and rustic wood was exactly what she was looking for. The coffered ceiling was designed to hide a single steel beam and stack vent in the ceiling. These items could not be moved without excessive expense. We designed an coffered ceiling to add symmetry and purpose to the decorative cover of functional beam. The custom designed hood disguises a stack vent.

The play area of the play room has excess storage for toys and games. The boys are able to showcase their favorites on the open shelving. A custom play house built of oak wood stands in the corner, creating a showpiece in the room.

This well crafted laundry room is designed to make the chore of laundry as enjoyable as possible. With a large window letting in natural light and excessive cabinetry, this room is spacious and functional.

Permeable Pine Hall StormPave brick pavers channel water down through granite chips through the clear stone base to either infiltrate or if in excess, be removed by the drainage system within. A small planting cut out in the courtyard provides room for a Katsuratree to shade the patio and was under-planted with Blue Cadet hosta and Variegated Japanese Forest grass.

A favourite place to enjoy the evening is in the comfy sunken lounge area around the gas fire table. The lounge area may not be excessive, but when you add the extra seating available along the ledge of the pool wall, even larger groups feel like they’re at the centre of the action.

This traditional kitchen centers on the timeless beauty of Shiloh’s walnut cabinetry, crafted in a raised center panel door style that showcases the full warmth and character of the wood. The natural grain, depth of tone, and smooth finish highlight walnut’s inherent elegance, giving the space a grounded, heirloom-quality feel. The raised panel detailing reinforces a classic aesthetic, adding dimension and sophistication without excess ornamentation. Together, these elements create a kitchen defined by craftsmanship, durability, and the enduring appeal of richly stained wood.

Living room arranged around a curved upholstered sofa and a low fireplace wall. Concealed lighting, full-height curtains and compact side tables define the seating area without visual excess.
