Making a real impression by designing & building with exceptional people is exactly the effect JL Design & the client as owner-builder have achieved with “Scarborough House” in Scarborough, NSW. The brief required the dwelling to take maximum advantage of stunning views over the ocean & nearby escarpment cliffs. The residence was also to be a contemporary modernist four bedroom family dwelling, maximising built external living & pool areas. The client was extensively involved with the overall design, & carried out material selection, interior detailing and selection of fixtures and fittings. This collective method guaranteed a result where the client as the builder, through continued personal investment throughout the design and construction achieved a stunning result. The concrete, steelwork, windows, timber & various forms of cladding, joinery and concealed lighting are all custom made hand crafted elements. The design called for minimal tolerances, requiring a high level of skill and cooperation between trades. “Scarborough House” features BlueScope Colorbond monument matt ribbed wall cladding with rendered & ‘rendered look’ areas in off-white. A vertical feature hardwood timber screen to the side of the entry softens the ‘industrial’ feel, giving a modernist external appearance. Carefully calculated overhangs allow a passive solar solution to heating & cooling, with efficient reverse-cycle air conditioning required only during weather extremes. Internally, timber floors to the upper living areas give a feel of comfort & warmth. The warm, substantial character of the dwelling is carefully composed by means of the clarity of the detailing, a palette of tactical natural materials and the careful manipulation of light.

This curbless walk-in shower was completed in 7 working days and built with long-term reliability in mind. The subfloor was recessed to achieve a true barrier-free entry, and the plumbing system was reworked so the shower head, valve, and faucet align perfectly on a single vertical axis. Large-Format Tile Installation The walls are finished with 24x48 porcelain tiles. Before installation, all surfaces were flattened and corrected for plumb to ensure accurate geometry and clean lines across the entire shower. Mitered Niche & Window The shampoo niche and window detail feature 45° mitered edges with continuous pattern flow, creating a seamless, built-in look without metal trims. Full Waterproofing System A combined Schluter + GoBoard waterproofing system was applied across all wet zones, including corners, penetrations, and transitions. Every layer was documented to guarantee code-level protection. Additional Work The remodel also included new glass installation, vanity, mirror, updated lighting, and full electrical improvements with new switches for safer and more convenient operation. This project demonstrates what careful planning, proper preparation, and precision tile work can achieve — a clean, durable, and cohesive shower space built to last.

Green Home Systems was recently hired by Sheri C. of Hesperus, Colorado, to install a 20.16 KW SolarEdge system for her home located on County Road 122. The project was completed within a couple of weeks and the results have been incredible! Sheri chose Green Home Systems based on our craftsmanship, our reputation and our financing options. The main reason she chose us was because we could complete the project on time with the best customer service in the industry. The system installed by Green Home Systems has already allowed Sheri to reduce her electricity bill and increase her property value while providing backup power for her home. The solar panel system is a grid tie-in which is connected directly to her local utility company’s grid for power generation and storage. We used top of the line SolarEdge inverters which are guaranteed to be durable and perform well for years to come. Our warranty for these products gives customers peace of mind that their system will be maintained and repaired when needed. We also offer government and utility company incentives to help make going solar even more affordable for our customers. At Green Home Systems, we are proud to have been chosen by Sheri C., and we are thrilled that she has experienced such great success with her new solar system! We would like to thank Sheri for choosing us and allowing us the opportunity to provide her with an exceptional solar experience. We look forward to continuing to serve customers in Hesperus, Colorado and all over the world with their solar needs!

- ZEROCENTO ZIP SOFA. Characterized by the appearance of soft, young and informal. The original coating bag, characterized by a beaded strap and a zipper in contrast color, guarantees fast and easy maintenance. The extensive modularity and two different depths ensure unparalleled compositional freedom and it fits perfectly even in smaller rooms at an affordable cost. 134''W x 47''D x 25''H. - ONE FLO LOUNGE CHAIR. Sinuous lines and exclusive for the original design of One Flo, the chair inspired by the floral world with stitching details that recall the shape of petals and soft wrap. The removable cover is available in fabric or leather, or in characterizing version Deco, a new material made of woven leather on the inside and the outside. The lightweight base is made up of slender stems in painted or polished chrome finish. 31''W x 30''D x 33''H. - ZEROCENTO COFFEE TABLE. Simple design and minimal for the collection tables Zerocento, made with a single material, characterized by the continuity between top and the support structure. The series of tables, developed in different shapes and sizes, you can overlay and pull, creating original geometric effects. The structure is made of aluminum corrugated matt lacquered in white, hemp, red, or veneered oak termocotto. 39''W x 39''D x 10''H. 37''W x 18''D x 9''H.

Context Norbert and Robin had dreamed of retiring in a Passive House-certified home overlooking the Lubberland Creek Preserve in Southeastern New Hampshire, and they’d done their homework. They were interested in using four integrated Zehnder America (www.zehnderamerica.com) technologies to make the 1,900 square foot home extremely energy efficient. They didn’t miss any opportunity to innovate or raise the bar on sustainable design. Our goals were focused on guaranteeing their comfort in every season, saving them money on a fixed income, and reducing the home’s overall impact on the environment as much as possible. Response The home faces directly south and captures sunlight all winter under tall and vaulted ceilings and a continuous band of slim-lined, Italian triple-pane windows and doors that provide gorgeous views of the wild preserve. A second-story office nook and clerestory provide even deeper views, with a little more privacy. Zehnder, which previously sold its innovative products only in Europe, took on the project as a test house. We designed around Zehnder’s vent-based systems, including a geothermal heat loop that heats and cools incoming air, a heat pump cooling system, electric towel-warmer radiators in the bathrooms, and a highly efficient energy recovery ventilator, which recycles heat and minimizes the need for air conditioning. The house effectively has no conventional heating system—and doesn’t need it. We also looked for efficiencies and smart solutions everywhere, from the lights to the windows to the insulation. The kitchen exhaust hood eliminates, cleans, and recirculates cooking fumes in the home’s unique kitchen, custom-designed to match the ways Norbert likes to prepare meals. There are several countertop heights so they can prep and clean comfortably, and the eat-in kitchen also has two seating heights so people can sit and socialize while they’re working on dinner. An adjacent screened porch greets guests and opens to the view. A roof-mounted solar system helps to ensure that the home generates more energy than it consumes—helped by features such as a heat pump water heater, superinsulation, LED lights and a polished concrete floor that helps regulate indoor temperatures.
