After undertaking a few minor updates over the years, these homeowners came to us ready to tear out their kitchen and start from scratch. The existing kitchen was large, but not laid out well for the everyday use it was getting. A bulky double fireplace in the center of the living space took up a lot of room and made the dining room feel disconnected from the kitchen, despite the substantial opening between the two. We removed the oversized wood burning fireplace and replaced it with a smaller gas one with shiplap above, creating a stylish featured piece. Meanwhile the kitchen was reimagined and reorganized into a functional space for a home chef that will work better for years to come.
These homeowners’ main concern was to update the style and function, as well as having quality materials that would stand the test of time. They wanted updated, gray cabinets; but didn’t want to lose any of the warm feeling of their home. Together with our design team they chose a light, warm gray for the perimeter cabinets and a darker gray to make the island a focal piece. The warm, light colored quartz countertops blend with the lighter gray and contrast nicely with the island. The textured dark blue backsplash tile adds a fun and exciting pop of color without stealing attention from any of the other pieces. To further maintain the warmth, they chose a rich walnut flooring with bold grain patterns.
When the homeowners fell in love with some contemporary brass colored light fixtures, they were nervous that they would compete with their stainless steel appliances and other silver toned pieces. By keeping all the lights in the same color family, we were able to achieve a look that feels intentional and modern. The corner 3-light pendant adds light and interest to the space. Not wanting to take up wall cabinet space with a bulky microwave, they opted for one built into a base cabinet. The other small appliances are neatly hidden away behind custom appliance garages.
For the fireplace, we focused on a clean, bright look that would stand out and look beautiful without competing with the neighboring kitchen. A small powder bathroom was also reorganized to better utilize the potential storage space and add counter space for guests. The style of the kitchen cabinetry was incorporated into the bathroom as well as into the dining room, which featured glass front cabinets to display dishes and mementos.
The redesigned space resulted in a warm and beautiful kitchen and dining area that will be enjoyed for years to come. The main floor living space now feels as cohesive as it was always meant to.

Initially reminiscent of a film set from the 1980s, this penthouse in Brickell was a maze of red marble, dropped ceilings, and dark, choppy rooms that blocked the stunning views. Despite its flaws, the space boasted incredible city and bay vistas, paired with hidden 12-foot ceilings that promised untapped potential. Partway through the planning process, the neighboring apartment became available, allowing two units to merge into a sprawling, light-filled home.
The transformation focused on opening the space to create a sense of flow and connection to the breathtaking views. By reconfiguring the old, formal layout, we crafted a contemporary, expansive living area suited for a modern family. Gone were the outdated features, replaced with airy, connected rooms that celebrate the spectacular light and panoramic scenery.
The result is a serene and versatile home in the sky, perfectly tailored for a couple beginning the empty nest phase, but spacious enough to accommodate family gatherings. This penthouse now functions as beautifully for two as it does for six, offering a peaceful retreat high above the bustling city below.

This subtle crackle pattern remains a hidden gem, adding depth and character to each tile. While these tiles are perfect for various interior and exterior architectural projects, it's important to note that they aren't recommended for direct water immersion due to their surface characteristics.
For aquatic applications such as swimming pools, we recommend opting for our porcelain-based tiles with pigmented colors, ensuring both durability and aesthetic satisfaction.

Our clients in Tower Lakes, IL, needed more storage and functionality from their kitchen. They were primarily focused on finding the right combination of cabinets, shelves, and drawers that fit all their cookware, flatware, and appliances. They wanted a brighter, bigger space with a natural cooking flow and plenty of storage. Soffits and crown molding needed to be removed to make the kitchen feel larger. Redesign elements included: relocating the fridge, adding a baking station and coffee bar, and placing the microwave in the kitchen island.
Advance Design Studio’s Claudia Pop offered functional, creative, and unique solutions to the homeowners’ problems. Our clients wanted a unique kitchen that was not completely white, a balance of design and function. Claudia offered functional, creative, and unique solutions to Chad and Karen’s kitchen design challenges. The first thing to go was soffits. Today, most kitchens can benefit from the added height and space; removing soffits is nearly always step one. Steely gray-blue was the color of choice for a freshly unique look bringing a sophisticated-looking space to wrap around the fresh new kitchen. Cherry cabinetry in a true brown stain compliments the stormy accents with sharp contrasting white Cambria quartz top balancing out the space with a dramatic flair.
“We wanted something unique and special in this space, something none of the neighbors would have,” said Claudia.
The dramatic veined Cambria countertops continue upward into a backsplash behind three complimentary open shelves. These countertops provide visual texture and movement in the kitchen. The kitchen includes two larder cabinets for both the coffee bar and baking station. The kitchen is now functional and unique in design.
“When we design a new kitchen space, as designers, we are always looking for ways to balance interesting design elements with practical functionality,” Claudia said. “This kitchen’s new design is not only way more functional but is stunning in a way a piece of art can catch one’s attention.”
Decorative mullions with mirrored inserts sit atop dual sentinel pantries flanking the new refrigerator, while a 48″ dual fuel Wolf range replaced the island cooktop and double oven. The new microwave is cleverly hidden within the island, eliminating the cluttered counter and attention-grabbing wall of stainless steel from the previous space.
The family room was completely renovated, including a beautifully functional entertainment bar with the same combination of woods and stone as the kitchen and coffee bar. Mesh inserts instead of plain glass add visual texture while revealing pristine glassware. Handcrafted built-ins surround the fireplace.
The beautiful and efficient design created by designer Claudia transitioned directly to the installation team seamlessly, much like the basement project experience Chad and Karen enjoyed previously.
“We definitely will and have recommended Advance Design Studio to friends who are looking to embark on a project small or large,” Karen said.
“Everything that was designed and built exactly how we envisioned it, and we are really enjoying it to its full potential,” Karen said.

An unused office got a second life as spacious industrial loft-style apartment. Previously, the 66sqm office had a standard three-meter-high fake ceiling, a small internal toilet and was divided into rooms. However, this corner location on a commercial floor, between car parking and apartment floors of an older condominium building in the Huay Khwang area of Bangkok, has become a hidden gem.
regroup architecture remodeled the space after reducing the old office to its bare shell. The basic design idea uses the central core provided by the kitchen and bathroom to separate the space into different zones. There is a more private zone behind the core for the bed, a living zone with a TV and sofa, and an in-between space for a multipurpose bar-height desk. This basic zoning could potentially also work for other functions like an artist atelier, yoga studio, exhibition space, or even for a small office once again.

The original idea was to update the tile floor and the tub. That’s it.
A further discussion of wants and needs revealed intentions for an eventual larger shower and an improved vanity storage. It made sense to map out the possibilities and design our update with potential next steps in mind. The process was exciting, ultimately leading to the decision to do a full primary bath remodel.
Design Objectives:
-Maintain existing locations for all major bathroom functions
-Make the shower larger and more open
-Use luxurious materials throughout
-Improve vanity storage and define accessories for specific items
-Incorporate luxury shower fixtures
-Include the latest technology
Design Challenges
-Enlarging the shower in a typical rectangular shape would block the view and light from the alcove windows behind the tub
-Logical placement of the built-in shower caddy and all shower components in accordance with how and where they were to be used
-Keeping the long, back wall free from any shower modules to maintain the decorative tile design
-Combining the owner’s existing smart home system with a comprehensive shower system
-Planning cabinetry for hidden storage and use for various small appliances and make-up
-Integrating expensive shower wall tile with less expensive wall tile for aesthetic and budget purposes
-Incorporating special design features to balance the highly decorative shower tile
Design solutions:
-A clipped corner was planned for the shower bench seat – this allowed for a larger glass wall. The glass wall at the angled bench also brought more natural light into the shower
-Thoughtful shower space design prevented the crowding of features – the shower caddy and handheld shower head were placed on the full-height wall by the shower bench, the regular shower head and body sprays remained on the opposite wall, and the rain head was placed in the center of the shower
-A multi-port DTV system was installed, providing control of all shower components, including chromotherapy and music inside and outside the shower
-The lavish water-jet stone and glass decorative tile was paired with a less-expensive glass tile found in the mosaic
-Pull-out grooming organizers and electrical docking stations were incorporated into the cabinetry
Additional storage was created in the lower corner cabinet
The homeowners are thrilled with their new primary bathroom. Clear goals and carefully evaluated materials informed a fun and functional design that is both thoughtful and sumptuous!

The poor layout of the original kitchen, and the lack of sufficient storage space, led this homeowner to finally decide to renovate. But, despite living in this house for quite a few years, our client did not realize the full potential of their space. That is, of course, until we came in.
We demolished some existing walls to create an open space. New walls were built, adding a custom walk-in pantry. We relocated some existing appliances and installed a new fridge, hood vent and a gorgeous Wolf stove. We completely reworked the lighting by adding ambient pot lights, decorative pendants and under-cabinet task lights.
The original kitchen did not have any open shelves or glass cabinets. We featured both in a gorgeous display wall, lit by channeled LED strip lights. We included a hidden walk-in pantry and a floor-to-ceiling wine rack to ensure that a celebratory bottle of cabernet sauvignon is never more than a few steps away.

These clients are actually my sister and brother in law!
Years ago they were thinking about moving into a larger
home because they wanted a bigger kitchen and bathroom.
My sister also wanted a lovely dressing room with custom cabinets, drawers, a vanity and jewellery cabinet, along with ample storage for all of her shoes.
With the design layout as it was, the functionality of the house did not meet their needs. As an Interior Design Professional with over 10 years of experience in helping
homeowners live beautifully, I could definitely see the potential.
They loved the Burlington area and I knew that they
could have what they desired if only they could see for themselves. So, I talked them into hiring my services and we created a vision with a completely new design plan in 3D.
What I created for them vastly exceeded their expectations, and now they extremely happy living in their 'forever home'.

Decorative mullions with mirrored inserts sit atop dual sentinel pantries flanking the new refrigerator, while a 48″ dual fuel Wolf range replaced the island cooktop and double oven. The new microwave is cleverly hidden within the island, eliminating the cluttered counter and attention-grabbing wall of stainless steel from the previous space.
The family room was completely renovated, including a beautifully functional entertainment bar with the same combination of woods and stone as the kitchen and coffee bar. Mesh inserts instead of plain glass add visual texture while revealing pristine glassware. Handcrafted built-ins surround the fireplace.
The beautiful and efficient design created by designer Claudia transitioned directly to the installation team seamlessly, much like the basement project experience Chad and Karen enjoyed previously.
“We definitely will and have recommended Advance Design Studio to friends who are looking to embark on a project small or large,” Karen said.
“Everything that was designed and built exactly how we envisioned it, and we are really enjoying it to its full potential,” Karen said.

The epitome of luxury living - an exquisite apartment that exudes unparalleled elegance and sophistication. This stunning residence showcases the masterful work of a visionary designer, Tamar Rand, where every element has been meticulously crafted to create an upscale haven unlike any other.
Upon stepping into this grand abode, you are immediately greeted by a traditional ambiance with a modern twist. Tamar Rand has ingeniously utilized every inch of space, transforming it into a seamless blend of modern traditionalism. The entrance floor boasts a charming foyer and hallway that beckon you into the heart of the home.
The kitchen, living room, and dining room converge into an open space, exuding a sense of freedom and fluidity. The dining table, an exquisite masterpiece, was born from the collaboration between a skilled carpenter and a visionary glass artist. This unique piece features a delicate balance of glass and intricate woodwork, marrying openness with the essence of traditional style.
Among the living quarters are two inviting bedrooms, each meticulously designed to offer comfort and luxury. The master bedroom is accompanied by a lavish bathroom that complements the overall opulence of the apartment. The main bathroom, shared by all, showcases Tamar’s attention to detail in every aspect of the home.
One of the most captivating features of this apartment lies below, in the basement, which has been transformed into a magical space. Descending the majestic staircase into the basement, you are greeted by a glamorous light fixture that dazzles like precious jewels, adding an extra touch of luxury to the space. This basement feels nothing like a typical underground area; it is a realm of wonder and imagination brought to life.
By utilizing the basement's potential, Tamar has created two expansive play areas, ensuring that fun and excitement abound in every corner. A cleverly installed artificial skylight, adorned with a breathtaking Barrisol stretched ceiling, mimics the vast expanse of the sky, granting an airy and open atmosphere to this lower level.
In addition to the play areas, the basement also houses a study and two additional bedrooms, each providing the utmost comfort and privacy. Tamar’s ingenuity has transformed this space into a flourishing hub of leisure and creativity.
The apartment's allure lies not only in its sumptuous aesthetics but also in the thoughtfulness that went into optimizing every aspect of its design. A hidden laundry closet in the hallway perfectly exemplifies this philosophy, combining functionality and aesthetics to create an unobtrusive yet efficient space for laundry needs.
This apartment is a true testament to the prowess of Tamar, whose custom furniture and meticulous eye for detail have transformed a mere shell into a work of art. This home stands as a true masterpiece, celebrating the beauty of tradition while embracing the comforts of modernity.

This gorgeous custom home bar and wine cellar combination resides in sunny Costa Mesa, Orange County, California. The beauty and uniqueness of this project reminds us of a restaurant - sleek and clean, and dressed to the nines with one of a kind display features.
The wine cellar holds over 500 bottles horizontally in triple deep black metal wine racking from floor to ceiling. Coupled with the clean lines of a dark stainless steel and glass enclosure makes a truly stunning addition to this home and entertainment area.
Small glass wine cellar design can be tricky. The design build team at Vintage Cellars ensures to work closely with all of its clients to bring their dreams to reality, all the while bringing our thoughts and ideas to the table to maximize storage capacity, design features, and expert construction understanding.
The wine cellar cooling system in this wine vault / wine room / wine cellar is ducted into the space. Recessing the cooling unit allows for maximizing the space for wine bottle storage, as well as removing a potentially large eye sore.
We love this space for its highly refined look.
