Kids' room - transitional kids' room idea in Chicago

The broad stroke design of this home harkens to sap houses and agricultural structures of the Northeast which inspired the inclusion of a clerestory, cylindrical silo-like stairwell, and site-harvested stone. It was important for the family of five to have a central living space that felt settled and intimate while being able to host guests. The resulting 36’ x 36’ great room is characterized by its “circle in a square” frame that is the core to the overall basket-like structure. Lower volumes are created, and dimensionality is woven in with arched timber brackets and curving lines. The curves and arches were realized with a combination of double sawn solid timbers and grain-matched glulams “I cannot imagine a day when I will stop smiling at this.” – Shannon, homeowner “Neither my temperament nor my history with Fine Homebuilding inclines me to be impressed by trophy houses, the place is impressive. Your designers and framers did an amazing job—craftsmanship on the highest order.” – Kevin Ireton, writer and former publisher of Fine Homebuilding Magazine.

The client liked the style of their existing fireplace, so we kept it but moved it down the wall a few feet to allow better use of the space. A post in the middle of the main floor limited how we could layout the living room and dining room, so moving the fireplace gave more layout options. The shift also let us add window seat millwork, resulting in additional valuable storage. We then had the millworker create a drawer behind the mantle to hold all the required media equipment and components. A good deal of communication and collaboration between the framer, millworker and stone mason was required, but it resulted in a much cleaner and more functional space.

Hickory Hills in west Little Rock is an exclusive gated subdivision. I was introduced to the project by the builder Jack Hartsell Construction . This owners wanted to remodel their existing residence, the architectural firm hired for this project was Ellen Powell Yeary of Yeary Lindsey Architects Little Rock, AR. As you review my lighting design projects Houzz I am consistent on my lighting design. The lighting is to accent architectural features, art and furnishings. The recess can lighting is adjustable to aim on as stated above. I do not want any glare of the light source on a person seating, viewing art or preparing a meal. I have up lighting in the kitchen coves to replace light in the overall kitchen space with accent lighting on walls and kitchen island. Look closely to the art of the face of a lovely lady. Notice the light frames the art with no light spill out of the framer. This is a recess light framing projector. I love this affect but it is expensive.
