New construction home was designed for heavily forested 1.5 acre site with slight sloping backyard. Southern orientation and time of day was conceptualized in the design so morning sun hit the master bedroom and vaulted living room. In the afternoon sunlight travels to a future planned 3 season sunroom. Heating was designed with forced hot air and vertical stack venting from a pellet stove and gas fireplace. Conceptually the front facade is more traditional and private with wrap around farmer's porch and iconic "house" roof form. While the rear becomes more open and welcome to outdoor living space in all seasons. Photography by Design Imaging Studios

From DesignBoom: “When viewed from above, Octothorpe House by Mork-Ulnes Architects takes the form of the versatile symbol after which it was named. Set in the wild landscape of a high plateau in the Oregon desert, the home is designed for flexible, nature-based living and is heavily influenced by the shapes, colors, and textures of its surroundings in both its design and materiality. The structure is built to be environmentally friendly and is constructed of locally manufactured cross-laminated timber (CLT), while the charred wood matches the color palette of the arid landscape.”

This 1990's home, located in North Vancouver's Lynn Valley neighbourhood, had high ceilings and a great open plan layout but the decor was straight out of the 90's complete with sponge painted walls in dark earth tones. The owners, a young professional couple, enlisted our help to take it from dated and dreary to modern and bright. We started by removing details like chair rails and crown mouldings, that did not suit the modern architectural lines of the home. We replaced the heavily worn wood floors with a new high end, light coloured, wood-look laminate that will withstand the wear and tear from their two energetic golden retrievers. Since the main living space is completely open plan it was important that we work with simple consistent finishes for a clean modern look. The all white kitchen features flat doors with minimal hardware and a solid surface marble-look countertop and backsplash. We modernized all of the lighting and updated the bathrooms and master bedroom as well. The only departure from our clean modern scheme is found in the dressing room where the client was looking for a more dressed up feminine feel but we kept a thread of grey consistent even in this more vivid colour scheme. This transformation, featuring the clients' gorgeous original artwork and new custom designed furnishings is admittedly one of our favourite projects to date!

Design is often more about architecture than it is about decor. We focused heavily on embellishing and highlighting the client's fantastic architectural details in the living spaces, which were widely open and connected by a long Foyer Hallway with incredible arches and tall ceilings. We used natural materials such as light silver limestone plaster and paint, added rustic stained wood to the columns, arches and pilasters, and added textural ledgestone to focal walls. We also added new chandeliers with crystal and mercury glass for a modern nudge to a more transitional envelope. The contrast of light stained shelves and custom wood barn door completed the refurbished Foyer Hallway.

The outdoor kitchen design displayed in the image is characterized by a modern and minimalist aesthetic, with a monochromatic color scheme heavily leaning towards black and grey tones. The space features industrial elements, such as the bold, matte black metal fixtures and hanging racks, complemented by the organic touch of hanging green plants that add a burst of life and color. A large central island with a dark stone countertop anchors the room, providing a spacious work area as well as a casual dining or gathering spot.

Completely custom outdoor shower enclosure. 17 stained 2" x 12" cedar planks of various lengths are staggered vertically side-by-side following a curvilinear footprint maximizing privacy in and views out. The inspiration of the shower enclosure was the home itself; balancing heavily between metal and wood materials. The shower displays a rustic 'whiskey barrel' feel, constructed all custom black hammer coated bracket hardware specifically designed to make this design work. The suspended cable system is a railing cable system re-purposed to work specifically for this design.

This is a prime example of premium quality craftsmanship in the landscape design/build business. By redesigning the front entrance to create a porch/landing with an additional parking court, we significantly improved the appearance and value of the property in Rye, New York. The new driveway was constructed of a porous asphalt material which improved the stormwater management adjacent to the wetland. The landscape planting featured a variety of long blooming, native flowering perennials which attract beneficial insect species. This contributes to the successful management of the landscape with sustainable organics. The custom kinetic sculpture adds a nice finishing touch. Instead of a typical evergreen hedge, native clethra was planted on the property border to define the space while contributing fragrance, grace and pollinators to what easily could have been a less active, sterile space. Heavily planted ground cover natives such as ajuga, creeping jenny, Irish moss, sweet woodruff and geraniums made the need for weeding practically obsolete. The use of ground covers as mulch was most effective for resource management.
