Exposed framing is possible because all the insulation is on the outside of the house. This concept is called "Perfect Wall" and was originally designed by Building Science Corporation's founder Joe Lstiburek.

Kitchen - transitional kitchen idea in Dallas

After the mud room addition, the dogs have their own personal bowls and a customized washing area for when they come in from outside. Plato Prelude cabinets provide plenty of cabinet space for dog food and other items. One golden retriever and four flat coated retrievers = a lot of food storage needs! Porcelain fired earth ceramics 18" field tile was installed for a durable floor. An LG Hi-Macs Volcanics Solid Surface material was used on the counter tops featuring built-in food bowls. Hooks were conveniently added for hanging leashes by the door. As if this was not enough, the dogs can exit the mud room and run into the fenced backyard with their own in-ground pool! The dogs love the new amenities but the homeowners have a spectacular kitchen, improved dining/coffee experience, an efficient flow from the kitchen to the backyard, and functional designs to make their life easier.

Renovating around a pool is sometimes easier than renovating the pool itself. It could be something as easy as fixing a settled or damaged patio. Other ideas might be upgrading to a new patio material like Techo-Bloc “Inca” pavers. Be sure to compact and install enough base to prevent future settling. www.deckandpatio.com

We look at your building as a whole system. When we plan an exterior retrofit, we always look at where we can improve your underlying structure. It's often the right time to insulate walls, seismically reinforce the structure, add rainscreen for durability, update wiring, repair rot, fix plumbing and prepare for future projects. This project included new durable siding and windows for energy efficiency and a front entry repair.

Privately located, surrounded by lush plantings, this stone fire pit is a favorite gathering place. A slab stone walkway leads to the English country pea gravel patio and fire pit.
