Asian entertainment center with vintage hardware and pulls. Red gloss finish and wood framework style this unit with maple modern cubes that create a background for the flatscreen TV.

A sleek flatscreen TV, wires completely hidden within the framework of the walls, is mounted on the bedroom wall. Smart lighting illuminates and darkens with simple taps of the control system app. Automated shades raise to let in natural light and lower for privacy and temperature control.

The former, smaller deck roasted in the summer. Our clients wanted partial shade to optimize when they could use the new space. For more information and additional photos of this project, go to http://a1builders.ws/2011/08/a-rear-deck-in-dire-need-and-a-drab-front-entry-screaming-for-improvement/

The challenge of merging contemporary design with a classic traditional interior is emblematic of the vitality experienced in the evolution of Philadelphia’s urban fabric. The design of this Center City apartment engages a rich discourse between the new and the existing, focusing on areas of the residence that contradicted the new owners’ aesthetic and lifestyle. The elevator opens to the center of the spacious living area that includes the foyer, kitchen and living room. The serene, geometric character of the foyer enhances the sense of arrival – offering a moment to contemplate the owners’ art, the interplay of the old and the new, and the subtleties of light. The kitchen, while fully functional, willingly and quietly participates in the composition. Symmetry and asymmetry are seamlessly woven. The depth and endurance of daily experiences are the ingredients that transform architecture into a vital framework for living. As it relates to a home, the framework requires a resonate balance of comfort and drama, achieved here with a cast of dynamic materials and details that subtly collaborate in simple composition.

Example of a small eclectic master medium tone wood floor bedroom design in Los Angeles with beige walls and no fireplace

The master bedroom is adorned using Asian themed elements. The agrowood joists create a beautiful framework for the bed and its spaces. The agrowood joists house the profile lights creating a striated play of lights. The earlier window was converted to a French door that gives entry to the fabricated Patio outside. The Patio railing uses the fabricated grills from the earlier windows.

A look under the steel framework for the loft & catwalk Flooring for the catwalk is 2x6 tongue and groove Douglas Fir while the loft features 4x6 tongue and groove as the floor.

The peak perched cupola has it's own shade to block out all incoming light. -Randal Bye

Saturday June 27, 10:00 to 11:30am | Brooklyn Monroe Place by Robin Key of Robin Key Landscape Architecture The landscape architect worked closely with the owners to design the front and rear gardens of this Brooklyn Heights townhouse. Located in a historic district, the front garden ironwork and original bluestone sidewalk were restored with the approval of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. In the rear garden, materials were carefully selected to create a balance between the historic landscape and the new elements. The stone patios, laid using salvaged bluestone already existing on the site, are defined by two linear, stacked-stone fountains where water cascades gently into low pools. A raised wood deck at the back of the property is nestled within a bed of soft moss and wispy ferns, creating a peaceful seating area surrounded by woodland plantings. Here modern garden furniture and sculpture create a bold contrast. Throughout the property, the site’s existing mature trees were preserved to serve as a framework for the garden. A lower level seating area adjacent to the house provides the owners with an outdoor kitchen and area for entertaining. Photo courtesy Robin Key Landscape Architecture
