The Beachaus project was originally designed to qualify for LEED Platinum status. The design goal of this highly contemporary home was to leave a small footprint and to be 100% lit by natural daylight. 12’ ceilings with wall to wall glass give the illusion of additional space, but made it a challenge when it came to solar heat gain. Integrity’s combination of glazing options and Ultrex pultruded fiberglass helped the home meet the rigorous requirements of LEED Platinum status.

This single family home had been recently flipped with builder-grade materials. We touched each and every room of the house to give it a custom designer touch, thoughtfully marrying our soft minimalist design aesthetic with the graphic designer homeowner’s own design sensibilities. One of the most notable transformations in the home was opening up the galley kitchen to create an open concept great room with large skylight to give the illusion of a larger communal space.

Study room - mid-sized contemporary freestanding desk carpeted and beige floor study room idea in Austin with white walls

Contemporary kitchen and mudroom design and remodeling project in Stoneham MA. We buried the frame of a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room to create an open-concept flow between cooking and dining spaces, and widened another load-bearing wall to open to the sunken mudroom and driveway entry door. Kitchen includes rift-sawn oak and hunter green painted finish frameless cabinetry, Wilsonart Tivoli Grey quartz countertops, a sunning backsplash with CEPAC Illusion porcelain tile in Onyx, stained hardwood floors, Anatolia Ceraforge Oxide porcelain tile floor in mudroom, Bosch stainless steel appliances, and TopKnobs black cabinet hardware.

This beautiful LEED Certified Mediterranean style home rests upon a sloped hillside in a classic Pacific Northwest setting. Part of a bustling and prominent neighborhood with great urban walkability, the graceful Aging In Place design features an open floor plan and a residential elevator all packaged within traditional Mission interiors.
With extraordinary views of Budd Bay, downtown, and Mt. Rainier, mixed with exquisite detailing and craftsmanship throughout, Mission Hill is an instant gem of the South Puget Sound.

This house was not designed merely for humans. If anything, they are subordinate to the carnivorous felines that roam inside. Simba, Nala and Samson, three African Serval cats, perch atop the transparent loft--an ideal elevated, defensible position to observe entering guests as potential “fresh meat.”

PROJECT AIRSTREAM
Challenge:
Tiny 8' round Kitchen
Curved walls, floor and ceiling
Limited storage space available
No Windows
No Way out!
ENTER... Robeson Design :-)
Family of 4 contacted us after following us on YouTube. Their inquiry... Have you ever designed a home 20' underground?
WHAT???
Did you say "Underground" ?
Heres how we did it...
(Tiny 8' round Kitchen)
Used a reflective mirror tile to cover the wall above the sink and prep area providing light, reflection and an illusion of space. Light grey paint with dark walnut stained woodwork provided a visually appealing contrast.
Minimalist low profile chrome and stainless appliances and plumbing fixtures.
Ran the flooring: striped carpet and vinyl flooring, horizontally to emphasize the width.
(Curved walls, floor and ceiling)
Design custom furniture and built-in pieces with rounded sides to fit the tube perfectly.
Furniture pieces convert for multiple uses... we call it our "Transformer Furniture"
(Limited storage space available)
Hidden storage in, below, beneath, above and atop without you even knowing it :-) Its functional AND fashionable all at the same time.
(No Windows)
Commissioned a hand painted mural in selected areas adding color, texture, visual interest and most important an illusion of perspective that takes your eye beyond the 8' steel walls.
(No Way out!)
Heck, Project Airstream turned out so Amazing... why would you ever want to leave :-)
