A happy east coast family gets their perfect second home on the west coast. This family of 6 was a true joy to work with from start to finish. They were very excited to have a home reflecting the true west coast sensibility: ocean tones mixed with neutrals, modern art and playful elements, and of course durability and comfort for all the kids and guests. The pool area and kitchen got total overhauls (thanks to Jeff with Black Cat Construction) and we added a fun wine closet below the staircase. They trusted the vision of the design and made few requests for changes. And the end result was even better than they expected.

Transforming this Living space for this darling family was such a fun project! Creating a cozy and cool area for entertaining and family movie watching, enhances the heart of this home. Adding chic monotoned textures enhanced by cool yellows, grays and whites, we were very excited to see this come together, beyond their expectations.

The remodel of an office space located in Beverly Hills serves as a shining example of how thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship can transform a workspace into a haven of productivity and comfort. Our team undertook a comprehensive renovation that included various elements essential for creating an appealing office environment. From the electrical work to the intricate lime wash walls, the installation of a modern HVAC system, luxurious tile floors, and custom cabinetry, each detail was meticulously handled to meet the specific needs of our client, who is also the landlord of the building. As the project neared completion, the excitement in the air was palpable. The final reveal was met with enthusiasm from the client, who was thrilled with the transformation. The office space, now brimming with character and practicality, stands as a testament to our commitment to quality and attention to detail. It was gratifying to see the landlord’s reaction; his delight indicated that we achieved our goal of crafting a space that exceeded expectations. The Beverly Hills office remodel exemplifies how well-thought-out renovations can lead to extraordinary results, making it a space that even at the end of a long workday, one would be reluctant to leave.

TIEMPO, Designed by JORGE PENSI DESIGN STUDIO, Debuts Exclusively for JANUS et Cie; Modular Lounge Collection Redefines Luxury Teak Furnishings Tiempo, the striking new teak collection designed by architect and designer Jorge Pensi exclusively for JANUS et Cie, delivers sophisticated seating that allures and endures in most any setting. “Tiempo is a dream come true. Jorge Pensi exceeded my expectations, creating a collection that is grand on every level, from style and engineering to functionality,” said JANUS et Cie president and CEO Janice Feldman. The artistry of Tiempo can be found in its sleek architectural design, impeccably crafted from premium solid teak and innovative teak veneer into beautiful geometric angles. The immaculately finished surfaces provide a rich, contemporary backdrop for the extensive choices of more than 200 textiles. These range from velvety solids and vivid stripes to textured florals and patterns. “Our aim is always to excite as many senses as possible,” said Pensi with reference to his Barcelona-based design studio team. “In Tiempo, we got there by challenging the usual logic, using as few resources as possible to create something that is at once exotic and refined, solid with a feeling of lightness.” The legs are made of electro-polished stainless steel with a unique finish for exterior use. The Modules are joined together using a special bracketed leg to create seamless seating ensembles. Assembly requires minimal connector legs, which helps to reduce visual clutter. The Modules and Tables mix and match into endless configurations, and arrangement possibilities range from intimate to expansive. All of these collection details establish Tiempo as a game-changer in the industry. “Tiempo translates as ‘time’ in Spanish,” said Feldman. “Jorge and I hope this seating not only has longevity, but also inspires great moments and memories.” The Tiempo collection, which is designed for indoor and outdoor use, features a Lounge Chair, Right End and Left End Modules which feature teak sides and available with and without soft-close drawers, upholstered Left End and Right End Modules, a Corner Module, a Center Module, a Double Center Module, a Cocktail Table, and an Grande Cocktail Table.

Photo by Jody Dole This new mixed-use building located in a quaint village has made a name for itself. It features a third floor apartment, second floor office space, and first floor retail. The design of the building's exterior bridges the gap between new and old. The cedar shingle gable roof form and double hung window style blend with the traditional New England context of neighboring buildings. The vertical grooved siding and a sliding 'barn' door hint at an agrarian vernacular. The sliding door features sixteen sparking panels of 'glass quilts' designed by glass artist, Alan Davidson of Guilford, CT. Angular roof forms, support brackets, and trim along with the black paint color provide a modern edge. The building and the new first floor art gallery have generated much interest and excitement for the town. John R.

The MOSS design team sat down with the homeowners and went through every single option. With COVID and the distance from the job site to the MOSS office, most sessions were virtual and set to align with the clients’ work schedules. The homeowners felt all of their ideas were brought to life and the design team added interesting pieces and ideas they really liked. Early in the design process, they decided a focus wall would be amazing. The client loves shiplap but didn’t want anything that looked too country. Our designer and project manager worked together to create a fireplace wall that combined tile, shiplap and a custom mantel for a result that has become one of the most gorgeous parts of the remodel. With young, active kids, the clients needed a space that could serve as a dump zone for backpacks and sports gear. Combining an underutilized carport shed and a low-functioning pantry resulted in a beautiful, very useful mudroom. The homeowners expressed that one of the most exciting parts of the process was working with the designers and coming up with new ideas. For example, there was an odd area on one side of the kitchen and our designer suggested making it a double-door pantry. The client’s jaw dropped because she never envisioned having enough storage space to conceal all of her appliances and backstock. She said “It is one of those surprises that came through the design process that we were not expecting and is now one of our favorite parts of the kitchen. We wanted out-of-the-box thinking and that’s what we got.”

Homeowner Services of Michigan is excited to present a remarkable project: reimagining an existing back room into a spacious first-floor master suite. This transformation combines comfort, style, and functionality, creating a luxurious private retreat for our client. Project Overview: We began by completely reconfiguring the back room to accommodate a spacious first-floor master suite. The newly installed hardwood floors provide a warm and inviting foundation, enhancing the overall aesthetic and adding timeless elegance to the space. The master suite now features two generous walk-in closets, offering ample storage and organization solutions. We installed a new bedroom window to welcome natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. For added convenience and modern appeal, we included recessed lighting throughout the suite. This not only improves the room's functionality but also adds a sleek and contemporary touch. A significant aspect of this project was the integration of a private first-floor bathroom, providing easy access and enhancing the suite's overall luxury. The new expanded rear doorway opens directly into the client’s private garden retreat, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. This feature offers a tranquil and picturesque view, perfect for relaxation. Every detail of this project was carefully planned and executed to ensure the highest level of craftsmanship and client satisfaction. Homeowner Services of Michigan is proud to deliver a first-floor master suite that exceeds expectations, combining practicality with elegance for an unparalleled living experience.

Designed by Angie Barwin of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Woodbridge VA in collaboration with Potomac Home Improvements, this primary bathroom features Green Forest Cabinetry in the Sierra door style in a White finish. The vanity countertops are MSI Q Smoked Pearl. The bathroom includes Italgraniti Lux Calacatta Mont Blanc field tiles, Islandstone Waveline Breeze Matte glass accent tiles and Islandstone Sliced Pebble Grey shower floor and under tub accent tiles. “The client was a joy to work with, full of energy and excitement for this project. He was looking for a spa-like feel in his Primary Bathroom. He had definitive ideas about what he did not want which helped steer me in the right direction,” said Angie. “We expanded the shower, added a freestanding tub in lieu of the existing garden tub, and brightened up the bath with white cabinetry, a light vanity top and a frameless, custom shower door. Removing the large tub deck and surround enabled the space to feel open and grand as well.” “The bathroom project exceeded all my expectations. Everyone performing the work was professional and the design of the new bathroom is fantastic. Well worth the effort and the costs were reasonable,” said the client.
