This modern home in Houston’s Energy Corridor was designed with clean lines and bold geometry — a true reflection of contemporary style. When the homeowner noticed water intrusion around the aging front windows, it was time to take action. At Deskins Siding & Exteriors, we removed the deteriorating vinyl siding from the front elevation and installed Hardie® lap siding at a contemporary angle, enhancing the home’s architectural character while improving durability and moisture protection. We also replaced the original entry with a sleek, modern iron door unit that complements the updated façade and reinforces the home's design vision.

Custom contemporary swimming pool with raised spa and stone water wall featuring sculpted lion-head water features. This compact backyard pool design showcases a Pebble Sheen interior, clean linear geometry, and multiple spillway fountains that add movement and soothing sound. Designed and built by Jim Chandler Pools in the Sacramento area, the pool integrates refined hardscape, elegant water features, and resort-style comfort in a private residential setting.

This Master Suite while being spacious, was poorly planned in the beginning. Master Bathroom and Walk-in Closet were small relative to the Bedroom size. Bathroom, being a maze of turns, offered a poor traffic flow. It only had basic fixtures and was never decorated to look like a living space. Geometry of the Bedroom (long and stretched) allowed to use some of its' space to build two Walk-in Closets while the original walk-in closet space was added to adjacent Bathroom. New Master Bathroom layout has changed dramatically (walls, door, and fixtures moved). The new space was carefully planned for two people using it at once with no sacrifice to the comfort. New shower is huge. It stretches wall-to-wall and has a full length bench with granite top. Frame-less glass enclosure partially sits on the tub platform (it is a drop-in tub). Tiles on the walls and on the floor are of the same collection. Elegant, time-less, neutral - something you would enjoy for years. This selection leaves no boundaries on the decor. Beautiful open shelf vanity cabinet was actually made by the Home Owners! They both were actively involved into the process of creating their new oasis. New Master Suite has two separate Walk-in Closets. Linen closet which used to be a part of the Bathroom, is now accessible from the hallway. Master Bedroom, still big, looks stunning. It reflects taste and life style of the Home Owners and blends in with the overall style of the House. Some of the furniture in the Bedroom was also made by the Home Owners.

Designed by the homeowners themselves, this striking staircase rises through multiple levels with architectural precision. Dark-toned square balusters and newels create bold contrast against crisp white risers, while horizontal stainless steel rods maintain visual lightness. The brilliance lies in the interplay of angles, levels, textures, and natural light. Strategic design choices transform the staircase into more than a connector. It carves out cozy sunny nooks and creates focal points throughout the open floor plan, proving that thoughtful geometry can shape how a home feels and functions. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

This dinning room reflects the desert landscape. The multi-window arrangement crates a curved frame over the gorgeous central fireplace for a sky-earth theme. To create balance and harmony we've focused on the rectangular geometry throughout. A stunning space that is both Rustic and Modern.

Reception seating at the Airoptic Research & Technology Office in Wysogotowo, designed by STUDIO KONDE Konrad Idaszewski Architekt, creates a dedicated lounge area for visitors, informal meetings and waiting. Visit our page: https://conde.pl/portfolio/projekt-wnetrz-biurowych-siedziby-firmy-airoptic/ The reception area is part of a larger office interior design project near Poznań. It shows how an interior architect in Poznań can use furniture, materials and spatial proportions to give a commercial interior a distinct character. Blue upholstered seating, natural oak wall panels and a dark rug establish the main visual language of the lounge. The composition is simple and symmetrical. A large media screen provides the central focal point, while the seating creates a clear area for conversations and informal meetings. A three-seat sofa stands along the left side of the room. Its blue upholstery has broad side panels and softly rounded edges. Matching armchairs are positioned opposite and alongside it. Slim black metal legs lift the furniture above the floor and add a light detail to the substantial upholstered forms. At the centre, a low coffee table combines a pale oak top with a rounded blue base. The softly curved corners repeat the geometry of the armchairs. Its compact form leaves a generous gap between the surrounding seats and keeps the circulation around the lounge unobstructed. Behind the furniture, large oak panels cover the entire wall. Fine horizontal and vertical joints divide the surface into a regular grid. A black wall-mounted television sits centrally within the composition and creates a strong contrast against the light timber. The simple media wall gives the reception seating a clear visual focus without additional decorative elements. A large dark brown rug defines the lounge area and visually connects the sofa, armchairs and coffee table. Its mottled surface adds subtle texture beneath the smooth upholstery. On the left, large green plants stand beside the glazing and bring natural colour into the restrained palette. White door frames and glazed openings remain visible around the timber wall. They connect the seating area with the circulation routes and other parts of the office. Daylight entering through the glazed entrance brightens the space and highlights the natural grain of the oak. The ceiling continues the office's restrained architectural language, combining a dark grid with integrated lighting. Linear illumination around the perimeter provides an even glow across the seating area. Oak panelling, blue contract furniture, a dark rug and carefully planned circulation create a cohesive reception lounge within the Airoptic workplace. The project reflects STUDIO KONDE Konrad Idaszewski Architekt's work in office interiors, commercial spaces and furniture arrangements for contemporary workplaces in the Poznań area.

This waterfront pool project in Beaconsfield reimagines a transitional backyard by fusing timeless warmth with crisp modern geometry. At its heart lies a custom concrete pool whose expansive beach entry pool—also known as a generous tanning ledge—slopes gently into the water, delivering the relaxed feel of a private resort. A frameless glass pool fence with low-iron panels preserves unobstructed lake vistas while ensuring safety, allowing the pool’s shimmering surface to merge visually with the open water beyond. Anchoring the far end of the basin is a dramatic outdoor fire feature that rises directly from the waterline. By day it acts as a sculptural focal point; by night the flames ripple across the water, transforming the space into a show-stopping luxury swimming pool experience. Every contour, drainage line, and equipment specification was shaped by Northstone’s in-house landscape architect design team and executed by our 180-strong crew of specialists, reinforcing our reputation as the go-to Beaconsfield pool builder for bespoke, high-end projects. Because Northstone is an entirely in-house design build firm, we streamline all stages—city permits, excavation, steel placement, shotcrete, and finishing—under a single roof. This turnkey approach distinguishes us among Montreal pool construction companies and ensures flawless craftsmanship in every pour. It is also why clients seeking a custom pool contractor to create a resort-style backyard consistently choose Northstone. That commitment to quality has earned us the #1 ranking for landscaping on bestinMTL.com and the top spot for pool design-build on bestmontrealservices.com. Our work has been showcased in Dwell, House & Home, the Montreal Gazette, and Living Luxe Magazine, underscoring our status as Montreal’s premier high-end pool company for luxury outdoor living on lakefront properties.

This spectacular entryway for the Hayden, Idaho, custom estate acts as a technical architectural bridge. By integrating specialized artisan millwork with advanced smart-home connectivity and complex climate engineering, we’ve created a high-performance first impression that sets the standard for the entire residence. High-Performance Architecture: Custom Entry & Smart Integration This entryway serves as a technical showcase, blending rustic artisan craftsmanship with high-capacity environmental control. We engineered this high-volume space to function as a thermal and visual bridge, leveraging specialized Knotty Alder millwork and advanced construction techniques to prepare visitors for the complexity found deeper in the home (like the 18-head steam suite!). Technical & Artisan Highlights: Custom Aagesen Millworks Door: The focal point is the substantial, hand-crafted Knotty Alder entry door, fabricated by Aagesen Millworks. We integrated a large upper-glass panel featuring a custom "raindrop" texture for immediate architectural interest and privacy, setting an artisan tone for the entire residence. Complex Fenestration Matrix: We engineered this wall with a sophisticated array of matching side-lights and a spectacular semicircular transom window. This complex framing assembly requires precise geometry and structural integration to ensure maximum daylight infiltration while maintaining high-efficiency environmental performance. Architectural Woodwork Integration: The entry door and windows are anchored by a continuous, massive Knotty Alder header and casing assembly. Note the thick, rustic cross-header that bridges the central opening, creating a robust, unified archway that emphasizes the vaulting architecture. Invisible HVAC Integration: To handle the significant volume of this vaulted space, we installed an invisible thermostat-controlled radiant heating system beneath the large-format dark grey tile. This provides consistent, "cold-spot-free" warmth across the entire floor plan. (Note the technical complexity required to fit the baseboard registers into the substantial wood base). Smart Security & Continuity: This entry features integrated high-end dark bronze security and locking hardware (visible on the right-hand jamb), providing professional-grade protection. We ensured design continuity by utilizing the same rustic wood tones and heavy-gauge bronze that are echoed on the specialized DTV plumbing controls in the master en-suite.

The arbor was installed by a separate contractor. Perfect Curb coordinated the walkway geometry and future landscaping to allow for the arbor.

The cabin typology redux came out of the owner’s desire to have a house that is warm and familiar, but also “feels like you are on vacation.” The basis of the “Hewn House” design starts with a cabin’s simple form and materiality: a gable roof, a wood-clad body, a prominent fireplace that acts as the hearth, and integrated indoor-outdoor spaces. However, rather than a rustic style, the scheme proposes a clean-lined and “hewned” form, sculpted, to best fit on its urban infill lot. The plan and elevation geometries are responsive to the unique site conditions. Existing prominent trees determined the faceted shape of the main house, while providing shade that projecting eaves of a traditional log cabin would otherwise offer. Deferring to the trees also allows the house to more readily tuck into its leafy East Austin neighborhood, and is therefore more quiet and secluded. Natural light and coziness are key inside the home. Both the common zone and the private quarters extend to sheltered outdoor spaces of varying scales: the front porch, the private patios, and the back porch which acts as a transition to the backyard. Similar to the front of the house, a large cedar elm was preserved in the center of the yard. Sliding glass doors open up the interior living zone to the backyard life while clerestory windows bring in additional ambient light and tree canopy views. The wood ceiling adds warmth and connection to the exterior knotted cedar tongue & groove. The iron spot bricks with an earthy, reddish tone around the fireplace cast a new material interest both inside and outside. The gable roof is clad with standing seam to reinforced the clean-lined and faceted form. Furthermore, a dark gray shade of stucco contrasts and complements the warmth of the cedar with its coolness. A freestanding guest house both separates from and connects to the main house through a small, private patio with a tall steel planter bed. Photo by Charles Davis Smith
