Beautiful Rear-porch/ deck addition designed by Joe Harris at Measure Architects. This porch was constructed in close proximity to a heritage tree which required extensive planning, permitting, and care during the construction process to keep the tree healthy. While installing the foundation, our team practiced hydro/air excavation and hand-dug once the roots were exposed to protect the tree. Great work team!

In this kitchen renovation, the aim was to revamp the space, making it not just functional, but stylish and inviting too. The decision to paint the walls predominantly white instantly promoted brightness and airiness into the room, setting the stage for a modern makeover. Knocking down the wall separating the kitchen from the family room added a touch of spaciousness and promoted seamless interaction between the two areas. Introducing a sleek floating island became the centerpiece, offering both practicality and a contemporary aesthetic. Upgrading to all new appliances ensured efficiency without sacrificing style. The end result? A chic, welcoming kitchen that's as perfect for cooking up a storm as it is for gathering with loved ones.

The introduction of a luxurious marble shower not only adds a touch of sophistication but also contributes to the overall cleanliness and sophistication of the space.

Functionality of layout Unique design elements Choice of materials Environmental considerations (energy, comfort, health) Construction details/techniques to achieve industry best practices Open-concept and filled with sunshine, a culinary hub that’s designed to be the social heart of this home and a subtle reference to the engaged, family-first lifestyle that would have been found in the original, heritage farmhouse located on this property. 8x5-foot* island (with seating for 4-5 people) includes storage on each side plus convenient USB outlets to keep everyone’s electronics powered up and ready to go. Easy flow when entertaining is appreciated by family/guests alike who want to engage with chefs-at-work without intruding into their workspace. Pendant lighting above island is purposefully absent. View-lines to adjacent great-room remains unobstructed, thus fulfilling clients desire to provide the entire family (from teen to grandparents) with welcoming space to simply hang out together. Gas cooktop (with elegantly-curved, chimney hood-fan) and two, full-sized wall-ovens (regular and microwave/convection) conveniently located adjacent to each other on the back wall where it’s easy to transfer steaming dishes directly onto the island ready for your guests/family to help themselves. Subway-tile (3x6-inch) quartz backsplash creates visual continuity with the solid-slab island surface and perimeter countertops. Custom millwork (in contemporary white with brushed chrome handles) designed with full-height cabinets with upper shelves back-lit for warm night-time visual. Extra bonus storage and reduced dusting: always a winning combo. Easy-access spice kitchen includes all the features today’s savvy buyers expect from their cooking space: full-sized range with induction* cooktop, fridge, dishwasher, and 36-inch* sink that’s deep enough to effortlessly handle the biggest spaghetti/corn pots. A caterer’s dream too. Large format (3x3-foot) marble-inspired porcelain floor-tiling is extension of material used throughout main floor. Elegant, contemporary, dramatic. Warm on the feet, thanks to energy-efficient, in-floor radiant heating.

Transforming Outdoor Living: A Case Study of Our Elegant Backyard Project In the heart of residential architecture, where outdoor spaces are extensions of our homes, a well-designed backyard can transform ordinary living into an extraordinary experience. Our latest project exemplifies this transformation by merging modern design, functionality, and aesthetic appeal into a single cohesive outdoor living space. This case study delves into the intricate details of our backyard project, highlighting the thoughtful design elements, strategic installations, and the ultimate impact on homeowners' lifestyles. Conceptualization and Planning The project's inception began with a thorough understanding of the client's vision. They desired a backyard that not only served as a retreat for relaxation but also as an elegant space for entertaining guests. The challenge was to create a multi-functional area that maintained a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Our design team conducted several site visits and consultations, ensuring every detail aligned with the client's expectations and the spatial dynamics of their home. Design Elements The design phase was driven by the principles of modern elegance and functionality. Central to the backyard is a sleek lap pool, designed for both leisurely swims and visual appeal. The pool's clean lines and contemporary finish are complemented by a modern water feature, adding a serene ambiance with the gentle sound of flowing water. Adjacent to the pool, we installed a stylish pergola that provides shaded seating and dining areas. This pergola is not just a structural addition but a pivotal element that enhances the usability of the space. Underneath, an elegant dining setup allows for al fresco meals, while a comfortable seating area invites relaxation. The integration of outdoor lighting within the pergola ensures the space is usable and inviting even after sunset. Greenery and Landscaping Landscaping plays a crucial role in softening the modern hardscapes and adding a touch of nature. We selected a variety of lush plants and succulents, strategically placing them around the pool and along the fence line. Modern planters filled with cascading greenery add vertical interest and a touch of sophistication. The greenery not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also creates a tranquil atmosphere, making the backyard a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Functional Installations A key aspect of this project was to ensure that the backyard was as functional as it was beautiful. To this end, we included an outdoor kitchen equipped with a grill and preparation area. This setup allows the homeowners to host outdoor gatherings seamlessly, without the need to constantly shuttle between the indoor kitchen and the backyard. Additionally, the installation of high-quality outdoor furniture ensures comfort and durability. Each piece was chosen for its ability to withstand various weather conditions while maintaining its aesthetic integrity. The dining and seating areas are both stylish and practical, encouraging long hours of enjoyment outdoors. Impact and Reception The completed project has significantly enhanced the homeowners' quality of life. The backyard has become a favorite spot for both everyday relaxation and special occasions. The seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces has created a versatile environment that adapts to different needs, from quiet afternoons by the pool to lively dinner parties under the pergola. The client's feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the transformative power of thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship. They have expressed particular appreciation for the balance of modern aesthetics and natural elements, which together create a harmonious and inviting space. Conclusion This backyard project stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence in design and installation. By listening to our clients and meticulously planning each element, we have created an outdoor living space that exceeds expectations. It is not just a backyard; it is a carefully curated environment that enhances daily living and provides a beautiful backdrop for creating lasting memories. This project exemplifies how thoughtful design and strategic planning can transform an outdoor space into a true extension of the home.

In this extensive three-floor home renovation, every aspect of the residence was thoughtfully transformed to create a cohesive and inviting space. Starting with the entryway, a new front door and a well-placed staircase immediately set the tone for the home. The interior design was unified with a Coastal theme, updating all the furniture and decor throughout. In the front room and dining area, the removal of unnecessary, outdated columns and bulky shelf space modernized and maximized the functionality of the space. The kitchen underwent a complete overhaul with new appliances, cabinetry, and a spacious island, complete with organizational accessories to enhance workflow. Undercabinet lighting and a custom hood added both practicality and aesthetic appeal. In the living room, a stunning blue tile update to the fireplace and the addition of floating shelves created an eye-catching focal point. The powder bathroom was made more inviting through the use of wallpaper and new accents. Upstairs, the master suite was elegantly updated with Coastal-themed materials and a luxurious freestanding bathtub in the bathroom. The addition of modern accents to the vanity area elevated its appearance. Downstairs, the basement kitchenette was transformed from a dark and outdated space into a bright and clean area. The basement bathroom was updated to match the luxurious style of the upstairs bathroom. Overall, this extensive renovation has breathed new life into the entire house, creating a fresh, modern, and cohesive space that the family will enjoy for years to come.
