This modern home was a net-zero energy design-build project built in collaboration with a local architecture firm. The owner was living in the Midwest, so other than an in-person, upfront planning meeting and a few visits for walkthroughs along the way, we built the home with him providing input from afar. One of the homeowner’s goals was to be as close to net-zero in energy usage as possible. The home features solar panels to generate electricity and geothermal heat pumps to power in-floor radiant heating and cooling. Solar panels also heat hot water to augment the heating system and provide hot water for domestic use. The modern design of the home also helps to save on the energy needed for heating and cooling. Extensions on the roof let the low winter sunlight pour through the windows to provide passive solar heat during the colder months and block the rays in the summer to help keep the house cool. The home’s foundation and its garage floor sit on concrete piers drilled into the ground. This keeps them away from direct contact with the poor soils the home is built on, allowing the soils to expand without causing any damage. We commissioned custom furniture, countertops, and other features made from salvaged elm and walnut trees cut down in the area. Custom walnut doors, wardrobes in the master suite, and grain-sequenced cabinet doors and drawer fronts coordinate beautifully with the locally sourced pieces, as do the accents made from beetle-kill pine. The home nestles into the ground to provide a mid-level walkout basement. Stairs go down from main floor and up from basement to meet in the middle and provide access to the outdoors. Locally sourced Colorado buff stone accents interior walls and transitions to exterior walls, helping to further anchor the home to its beautiful, lakeside location.

A MODERN MISSION The challenge in this Ottawa South home was to update a turn-of-the-century home’s kitchen, preserving the Arts and Craft styling while providing the modern conveniences required by today’s lifestyles. The classic lines and warm colours combine to create a functional and inviting space. The upper cabinets do double duty, offering long-term storage space as well as providing extra lighting. A salvaged antique door with sandblasted glass replaced an inappropriate modern door. A custom cherry heat grill was crafted and stained to match for the stool side of the peninsula. With careful attention to detail, the painted and damaged mouldings in the dining & kitchen area were replaced with new ones that were finished with stain & amber shellac to help them blend seamlessly with the old ones. Mission accomplished.

Client had full wall of windows and sliders on golf course facing west. UV damage and heat build up meant a change was needed. Client invested in motorized roller solar shades. Without wanting to add outlets or run power cords, we selected Q Motion battery powered shades. Three of the shades span 118" covering multiple openings. Each head rail is covered by a fabric wrapped valance for continuous look with existing drapery panels. Judy Cisler

The dining table is the heart of the home, where families come together to share meals, laughter, and memories. As such, it is important to choose a dining table that is both functional and stylish. Enter the sintered stone dining table, the latest trend in dining room furniture that is taking the design world by storm. Sintered stone is a material made by compacting and heating natural minerals at high pressure, creating a solid and durable surface. This unique material is ideal for dining tables because it is resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, making it perfect for daily use. Its sleek and modern look adds a touch of sophistication to any dining room, and its versatile design can complement any decor style. One of the best things about sintered stone dining tables is their durability. Unlike traditional wood or glass dining tables, sintered stone tables are highly resistant to damage. Whether it is spills, scratches, or heat, sintered stone can withstand it all, ensuring your dining table will look beautiful for years to come. This is especially important for families with children or pets who can cause accidental damage to furniture. Another great aspect of sintered stone dining tables is their easy maintenance. Unlike wood tables that require regular oiling or sanding to keep their surface smooth, sintered stone tables simply need to be wiped clean with a damp cloth. This makes it easy to keep your table looking like new, no matter how much you use it. The design options for sintered stone dining tables are endless. From round to rectangular, from light to dark colors, and from modern to traditional styles, there is a sintered stone dining table to suit every taste. The material itself has a matte finish that provides a neutral background for any design style. And, with its neutral color palette, it is easy to mix and match with other pieces of furniture, making it a great option for those who like to change up their decor frequently. Combined with its stylish and versatile design, you are able to make it the perfect choice for any dining room.

Look at this beautiful view of Greenville, South Carolina. The Salem homeowners chose to cover their patio and outdoor kitchen with the Premier Pergola. Palmetto Outdoor Spaces and Stark Construction installed this custom designed and powder coated shade structure. This beautiful patio cover install is 12' wide with a 17.5' span from home. The Premier Pergola can span twenty (20) feet with no additional supports. The 2 x 10 extruded aluminum beam construction allows for the largest span allowed for aluminum constructed patio covers. The Premier Pergola opens to allow warming sunshine onto patio or into home. It closes to protect patio from rain, heat, sun, and UV rays that damage furniture and dampen outdoor entertaining plans. Louvers are 8" wide, allowing the maximum amount of sunlight back into home. They close completely to block heat and rain, or partially allowing heat to escape and cool air to flow. The homeowner can choose from manual operation or electric operation. The Premier Pergola can span twenty (20) feet without support post. This makes it an ideal cover for large spaces: outdoor entertaining areas, restaurant dining areas, picnic areas, community pools, and children's playgrounds.
