Traditional "builder beige" or in this case "builder greige", new construction master bath, before. This bath had the following builder basics: vanity lighting, mirrors, paint and raised panel cabinet fronts. While the lighting, mirror and cabinet fronts were builder grade. The counter tops, sinks, fixtures and flooring were all upgraded, before we took on the challenge of upgrading the rest of the space. We had the vanity wall skimmed to remove the texture to allow for the install of this great black & white Peonies wallpaper on the back-splash. We added the stag head to bring a balance of hardness to softness of the wallpaper. We added the wood and black metal framed hardware to add some more color and texture to the space. We replaced the builder grade mirror with oversized individual mirrors, hung vertically over each sink. For the shower we went with a 3" x 16" white subway tile and it was important to add a niche for all the shower essentials. The ceiling height in this space is 11 feet. So, we decided to go for 8 foot doors and had them painted black. With ceiling this high the standard 6' 8" height doors would've looked a little odd. the 8 foot doors add a little drama to the space.

Reverse Shed Eichler This project is part tear-down, part remodel. The original L-shaped plan allowed the living/ dining/ kitchen wing to be completely re-built while retaining the shell of the bedroom wing virtually intact. The rebuilt entertainment wing was enlarged 50% and covered with a low-slope reverse-shed roof sloping from eleven to thirteen feet. The shed roof floats on a continuous glass clerestory with eight foot transom. Cantilevered steel frames support wood roof beams with eaves of up to ten feet. An interior glass clerestory separates the kitchen and livingroom for sound control. A wall-to-wall skylight illuminates the north wall of the kitchen/family room. New additions at the back of the house add several “sliding” wall planes, where interior walls continue past full-height windows to the exterior, complimenting the typical Eichler indoor-outdoor ceiling and floor planes. The existing bedroom wing has been re-configured on the interior, changing three small bedrooms into two larger ones, and adding a guest suite in part of the original garage. A previous den addition provided the perfect spot for a large master ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Natural materials predominate, with fir ceilings, limestone veneer fireplace walls, anigre veneer cabinets, fir sliding windows and interior doors, bamboo floors, and concrete patios and walks.

Timmerman Photography Sculpture by Mayme Kratz This is a home we initially built in 1995 and after it sold in 2014 we were commissioned to come back and remodel the interior of the home. We worked with internationally renowned architect Will Bruder on the initial design on the home. The goal of home was to build a modern hillside home which made the most of the vista upon which it sat. A few ways we were able to achieve this were the unique, floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the side of the property overlooking Scottsdale, a private courtyard off the master bedroom and bathroom, and a custom commissioned sculpture Mayme Kratz. Stonecreek's particular role in the project were to work alongside both the clients and the architect to make sure we were able to perfectly execute on the vision and design of the project. A very unique component of this house is how truly custom every feature is, all the way from the window systems and the bathtubs all the way down to the door handles and other features.

This modern beach front home needed a landscape to compliment its clean, crisp style. We were able to provide ample off street parking without creating a dull expanse of concrete. This pattern of concrete with stone banding was continued in the horizontal fencing for a subtle nautical undertone. While an assortment of grasses and other low maintenance plants that thrive in this seaside environment help to enhance the sense of place.

This is an enchanted bathroom! My client is a big hiker! He is in the beautiful Smokey Mountains every week hiking. I wanted to incorporate the imagery of the forst. I sourced an image from the Smokey Mountains and then worked with a local company, AZRAG Graphics, to have the image printed which was then applied on top of large smooth wall tiles. The true feat of engineering was the curved smokey glass shower encasement by TN Skyline Glass. The bathroom is long but narrow which called for very precise space planning. Without the obstruction of a sharp corner I was able to fit an ample size shower in the master bath. The accent tile supplied by Exact Tile fit the detailed aesthetic. Each tile is handmade showcasing a beautiful glass ombre finish. You will see the custom made Birch Tree. Beautifully crafted by State of The Art Stained Glass, the metal tree has individual stained glass leafs that are backlit by an LED diode. The tree travels up the wall, set in front of the custom stained glass window. The window was designed to be seen from both bathrooms. With the vaulted ceiling richly stained beams were added for added depth in the space. Another feature that I love is the custom stained glass gothic light fixture to the right of the shower. Forged metal frame from NY shipped to TN so that the glass could be selected and set to match the colors of the bathroom perfectly. I love hearing the "Oohhh and Awees" when guest walk in for the first time.

YOUNG ARCHITECTS STUDIO COMPETITION PROJECT: Clean Water Workshop PARTICIPANT: Robert Tuñón and Keith Labutta DESCRIPTION: Pittsburgh’s waterways are not polluted because of our industrial past, but because our antiquated infrastructure causes 16 billion gallons of wastewater to overflow into the city’s rivers every year. The built-up shoreline forces rainwater runoff directly into the waterways, and the lack of green space at the rivers’ edge allows for limited natural filtration. There is increased public access and interaction with the riverfront, but recreationalists lack awareness of the unhealthy state of the rivers. As an intervention, the Clean Water Workshop provides a place where every day recreational activities aid in the filtration of rainwater runoff. Collective individuals and teams power a variety of resistance machines to generate the energy used in the water filtration process. To carry out this mission, the highly visible urban void beneath the Tenth Street Bypass will be utilized, as it is a place where a dense roadway system meets a high volume of pedestrian traffic. JURY COMMENTS: The jury selected this project because it addresses a real void with a real solution, addressing a need that exists both recreationally and environmentally. We need attention drawn to clean water and the solution engages the community. It achieves everything we want to do on our riverfronts and makes it fun to participate. This space is very bleak from the other side of the river, yet the solution makes all the space useable and beautifully conveys the aesthetic of Pittsburgh’s riverfronts at night. The project has a totally modern sensibility, done simply and practically, as a celebration of health. It is clearly presented and highly inventive. The graphics are superb.
