12,000 sq. ft. custom with copper turrets, synthetic tile roof, limestone block masonry, Anderson Windows, concret "flexi-core" high strength garage floor with home theater beneath and deck over outdoor kitchen built in less than 1 years time and featured on Comcast, "Builders & Buyers" on demand

This reinterpretation of the classic American Foursquare features a floor plan for modern family living and 21st-c. energy efficiency and technology. The home is right-sized for a family of 6, and designed to be healthy, efficient, affordable, and a complement to its neighborhood. As a Passive House, it uses only about a tenth of the heating and cooling energy of a built-to-code home, and about 70% less energy overall; it is also designed to be Zero Energy Ready, meaning that with the addition of a solar electric array, the house can produce as much energy as it uses. Indoor air quality and occupant health are a primary objective as well, so no-added-formaldehyde panel materials, no-VOC, non-toxic paints, and Greenguard certified sealants, caulks, and adhesives were used along with a continuous demand-controlled ventilation system to provide superior air quality.

Manufactured in Italy by Gamma Arredamenti, Sunset Sofa is bold and casually serene during the day but unabashedly glamorous at night. Drawing its aesthetic inspirations from the multifaceted demands of modern lifestyle, Sunset Modern Leather Sofa allows for sitting areas to double as lounges and, on occasion serve as temporary sleeping areas because of its unique backrest mechanism that moves back.

This homeowner came to Ridgewood Home Construction with a clear vision: soapstone countertops, distinctive cabinet hardware, high-end appliances, and a kitchen built to handle daily use, not just look good in photos. The challenge was bringing that specific, high-end aesthetic into a historic downtown home without it feeling out of place. Ridgewood Home Construction worked through every detail with the homeowner to get it right, from Brighton cabinetry to a dramatic soapstone countertop paired with a classic white sink. A carefully chosen tile backsplash, updated plumbing and lighting fixtures, and a fresh coat of paint completed the space. Each element was selected to withstand the everyday demands of a chef’s kitchen, while respecting the character of the surrounding home. The result is a kitchen that matches the homeowner's vision and the rhythm of a home where cooking happens often, all while staying true to the historic charm downtown Rockford is known for.

Location: Situated on Bunurong country near the town of Sorrento, the site was uniquely positioned between the back beach and the footy oval. The broad wedge-shaped site featured a steep vegetated dune climbing 6 meters to the rear and remnant coastal Moonah trees at the front, providing a distinctive natural context. Design Brief: The objective was to create an enduring 4-bedroom holiday house that harmonized with its coastal environment. The design was intended to be both stylish and robust, offering high amenity and serviceability. This house was envisioned as a long-term investment, serving the dual purpose of accommodating a growing family and functioning as a part-time rental property. Architectural Features: Contextual Integration: The architectural response meticulously respected and enhanced the site's natural features, seamlessly integrating the vegetated dune and preserving the Moonah trees within the landscape strategy. Materiality and Aesthetics: The material palette was selected for its durability and ability to withstand the harsh coastal conditions while maintaining a refined and stylish appearance. This included the use of resilient, high-quality materials that age gracefully over time. Spatial Versatility: The spatial configuration was designed to adapt to the evolving needs of a growing family and the demands of a rental property. Flexible spaces were created to provide a balance between communal living areas and private retreats. Indoor-Outdoor Connectivity: Emphasizing seamless indoor-outdoor connections, the design featured expansive glazing, outdoor terraces, and integrated landscaping to blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. High Amenity and Comfort: The house boasted a laminate black-butt chef's kitchen, stone and tile surfaces, and state-of-the-art climate control systems, including integrated heating and cooling, to ensure year-round comfort and ease of maintenance. The architectural vision aimed to create a timeless residence that would serve as a cherished family retreat and a sought-after rental property, responding elegantly to its coastal context and the demands of modern living.

This private residence in Toronto has the distinction of being the first building in North America to be conceived and built from the ground up using the principles of BioGeometry®. Built to the highest standards, it is a true “green” building, green in the context of being true to nature and sensitive to Earth’s demands. The application of BioGeometry® has created a habitat that promotes a frequency of optimum health and well-being for the occupants. Blending with the neighbouring houses (as required by the Building Department) and built with natural materials, this home is a beacon of health, affecting the surrounding neighbourhood. The BioGeometric principles used in the design and construction allow the house to have a positive effect on pollution and on any deleterious EMF emissions caused by high-tension wires and cellphone towers.
