We designed: a new expanded dining patio with a custom pergola to give dappled shade; a nearby water feature burbling sweetly; a sunken lounge surrounded by gardens and trees for privacy; a sweet vine-covered arbor with a swinging bench for morning coffee and afternoon reading. The birds will have a new location for their house/feeder close to habitat and cover- including a Japanese water fountain to bathe in and drink. The sunken lounge will feature a firepit and luxury seating, all under watch of the Garden Buddha featured against a bamboo wall.

This rustic style home on Hartwell Lake was designed and built for the owners to enjoy with family and friends during their active weekend lifestyle. The home was built on a narrow, deep lot that was semi-level on the roadside and steep on the lakeside. The back half of the lot heavily wooded with mature oak and poplar trees reducing the harsh sun’s heat gain on the home.
The exterior utilizes fiber cement cedar shake and lap siding complimented by deep brown colors for the windows, soffit, trim and the large square columns. A nice balance of natural earth toned stacked stone rounds out the exterior materials completing the rustic casual lake living.
The home 5400 SF is designed and built on thee levels each having a primary focus. The main level creates primary daily living for the owners. This level features an open plan with an entry, stair, dining, kitchen and living areas leading to a large lakeside screened porch. A master suite is privately tucked off its own hallway and allowing it to enjoy the lakeside as well with its own private deck. On the opposite side are two bedrooms, a study and a shared bathroom for each to utilize. An open carport for two vehicles was created with the motor court and connects to the mudroom/utility room giving the owners direct entry into their home.
The upper level is for the grand children with an oversized bedroom, bathroom and loft area for play.
The lower level is the considered the party level. Its primary feature is an elevated stage for the owner’s band opened to a large seating area, dining and kitchen for viewing and listening with direct access to another screened porch. Flanking each side is a theater and two additional bedrooms and bathrooms.
Energy Efficient features include:
• The majority of the lower level sunk into the site below grade
• 6” thick walls utilizing advanced framing techniques
• Foil covered roof sheathing
• Extensive use of blown in cellulous
• All windows & doors are double paned low E argon filed glass
• Tank-less water heaters
• Three separate high efficiency HVAC units with programmable thermostats and a fresh air ERV.
Lastly the owner requested we make every effort to sound proof the home. Many materials and techniques gave a duel purpose and added to the energy efficiency.
These items include:
• 2x6 walls with staggered studs
• Extensive use if rock wool acoustic batting
• Tempered glass in all exterior doors and windows
• ¼ thick Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) was installed on the top and bottom of the floor trusses and on all lower level walls.
The combination of the design and detailing utilizing these specific materials enabled us to achieve a 5 Star Plus Energy Star Certification with a HERS Index Score of 50. This home received a the 2015 Pinnacle Award from the SC Home Builders Association for the “Best Achievement in Energy Efficiency” sponsored by the SC Department Commerce.

This kitchen renovation was driven by a desire to create a space for semi-formal dining in a small eat-in kitchen. By removing an imposing central island with range, and expanding a perimeter dropped soffit, we created a well-proportioned space in which to center a table for gathering. The expanded soffit cleaned up awkward angles at the ceiling and implies a thickness to the wall from which the kitchen is carved out. Small, flexible appliances enable full cooking potential, and modular cabinets provide highly functional features in minimal space. Ebony stained base cabinets recede, white-washed upper cabinets and panels reflect light, large-format ceramic counters and backsplash withstand culinary abuse, European oak flooring and accents provide warmth, and all combine under a ceiling of metallic paper to envelop users and guests in functional comfort.

The ‘Before’ and ‘Afters’ are striking. Instead of tearing out and replacing with all new cabinetry (we’re experts at this type of remodel as well), these homeowners chose a painted Reface along with some we’ll thought out design modifications. We expanded the island, lowering the bar counter to one level and modified the sink base to allow for a new efficient farm sink. Additionally, we added glass doors and undercabinet lighting. The two-tone color scheme features painted hardwood cabinetry in Swiss Coffee with a combination of Lexington door style for the uppers and Heritage for the lowers. The island features Cherry cabinetry and to add to the beautiful modern aesthetic, prominently features Cambria Clovelly quartz counters with two waterfall ends. Rounding out the kitchen transformation is warm tile backsplash which features a metal accent tile selected by the home owners. Now that’s inspired design. All remodel work from design, to cabinetry, carpentry, electrical, countertop fabrication and installation, appliance installation and finish painting by Kitchen Mart.

Dedicated to shifting the perception of specialty coffee, Hexe Coffee Co. opened their first cafe and expanded roastery on Diversey Parkway in late 2019. Through creative collaboration, concept refinement, engineering, detailing, ultimately fabrication and installation, Bader Art Metal brought life to the design vision set forth by owner Parker Slade and designer, Jordyn Dickson.
Playing on the name, meaning "witch" in German, set the stage for dark finishes including blackened steel and brass accents. Offset by the warmth of oak casks and burlap bags, an expansive steel and glass wall features an 8-pane barn door and recessed lock set, offering a look into the roastery. Expanded metal transom and sidelites match the hanging soffit above the main bar. Behind the service bar, welded steel frames with expanded metal shelves house drink ware, growlers and several bottles of Jeppson's Malört – a Chicago cult classic. Before leaving, coffee enthusiasts can shop the custom fabricated retail display. The floating frame with expanded metal panel includes fixed height, formed steel shelves with waterfall detail.
