Staircase - mid-sized traditional wooden straight wood railing staircase idea in New York with painted risers

This monumental, custom-fabricated back bar is the ultimate all-in-one entertainment station, seamlessly blending heavy-duty industrial aesthetics with high-end beverage service. Engineered on a massive, robust welded steel skeleton, the unit features warm, solid wood side panels that provide a beautiful organic contrast to the dark, clear-coated metal framework. The piece is finished with a substantial, durable countertop prepped for high-volume use and equipped with a professional-grade countertop draft beer tower. Designed for peak hospitality, this bar effortlessly houses three major stainless steel appliances side-by-side. The layout includes a built-in ice machine on the left, a central glass-front wine fridge illuminated by striking blue LED lighting, and a concealed kegerator base on the right to service the overhead tap. Separating the appliance bays are two highly functional storage compartments accessed by custom-fabricated doors featuring industrial expanded steel mesh. To ensure a premium, dimensional profile and unparalleled structural integrity, these steel-framed mesh doors are meticulously engineered to sit over the face frame behind them with a strict .25-inch overlap, entirely eliminating flat inset alignments. Heavy-duty exterior hinges and sleek bar pulls complete the formidable, professional-grade look.

The Ascension - Super Ranch on Acreage in Ridgefield Washington by Cascade West Development Inc. for the Clark County Parade of Homes 2016. As soon as you pass under the timber framed entry and through the custom 8ft tall double-doors you’re immersed in a landscape of high ceilings, sharp clean lines, soft light and sophisticated trim. The expansive foyer you’re standing in offers a coffered ceiling of 12ft and immediate access to the central stairwell. Procession to the Great Room reveals a wall of light accompanied by every angle of lush forest scenery. Overhead a series of exposed beams invite you to cross the room toward the enchanting, tree-filled windows. In the distance a coffered-box-beam ceiling rests above a dining area glowing with light, flanked by double islands and a wrap-around kitchen, they make every meal at home inclusive. The kitchen is composed to entertain and promote all types of social activity; large work areas, ubiquitous storage and very few walls allow any number of people, large or small, to create or consume comfortably. An integrated outdoor living space, with it’s large fireplace, formidable cooking area and built-in BBQ, acts as an extension of the Great Room further blurring the line between fabricated and organic settings.

An active family who have been friends and clients of Debbie Etheridge for many years presented her with an exciting yet formidable challenge--to transform their lower level, a dark unfinished basement into a useable, comfortable space where they could relax and lounge as a family, or entertain guests in style. Debbie Etheridge had completed several projects on the family's homes over the years but with this project she had her work cut out. In addition to being a dank, dark below ground basement with no delineated functional rooms, the space possessed many different angles and awkward ducting bulkheads to contend with. With the use of durable vinyl plank flooring, multileveled, innovative lighting, quartz countertops, sleek wood cabinetry, back-painted glass, and stacked stone columns, Debbie designed a space which exudes comfort, elegance and light. In addition to the recessed pots and wall washers, she used pendants, LED under cabinet and counter lighting and specified the installation of metallic back painted glass panels to dramatically enhance reflected brightness and somewhat mimic windows in the windowless space. Durable fabrics (like chenille) in neutral colours wear well and add cozy texture. A custom wine unit was installed. Before the transformation the space was just a large, unruly storage area. Now, the newly designed space functions as the bedazzling basement of they family's dreams. The contractor Paul Blewman of PTB Construction skillfully orchestrated the build, and the quarter cut white oak slab cabinetry for the kitchen and bathroom was provided by Kitchens by Design in North Vancouver.

A handy, empty-nester couple, nearing retirement, sold their mansion, and purchased a fixer-upper on a sunlit hillside that features the spectacular ocean view of the Channel Islands. ENRarchitects was hired to assist with making minor enhancements to the plan, integrating the lower level parking court, and adding a patio deck. The owner, a retiring engineer, took on the responsibilities of general contracting during construction. Our collaboration included opening the kitchen to the Living-Dining space, so all can enjoy the ocean view. A balcony was added to second floor Master Study, with a new laundry room below it. Both bathrooms were modestly enlarged to provide more spacious showers. Lastly, the Entry Foyer was opened to ceiling height into the Living Room. In California, ocean views inherently include relentless west sunshine, and formidable interior heat gain. Multiple design studies explored various means to incorporate shading and solar screening measures to permit the view, and to reduce heat gain. Additional studies featured more substantial proposed additions, including a lower level guest suite, and a detached office. A key feature, is the addition of a raised, covered entry porch, where passengers and goods can be offloaded, prior to parking on the lower level. The new porch also provides a secondary transition around the structure to the ocean view, split-level patio. A 2nd phase included the suggestion of rebuilding the lower covered parking to include a roof deck, rooftop guest suite, and solar electricity, which was successfully completed. The property is now mildly reminiscent of the Sea Ranch community. With the blessing of year-round comfortable weather, and ever-changing, dynamic views, the successfully remodeled home takes full advantage for a new generation of colorful living.
