This front yard in Reno was reimagined as a water-wise, welcoming landscape that meets HOA requirements while addressing longstanding drainage issues. The design removes the existing turf and replaces it with a xeriscape planting palette selected for four-season interest and year-round structure. A naturalized dry river bed manages stormwater and guides runoff away from the home, creating both function and visual movement. A small front patio—screened by layered plantings—offers a private place to enjoy morning sun and connect with neighbors. The result is a resilient, low-water landscape that improves drainage, enhances curb appeal, and supports a more sustainable approach to front-yard living.

Completed in partnership with LAM Studios Inc., this Fall 2024 renovation transformed multiple areas of a Dilworth home into a cohesive, functional, and beautifully updated living environment. The project included a complete kitchen remodel, living room renovation, bathroom remodel, laundry room update, dining room renovation, fireplace enhancement, and hallway improvements. The kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the renovation, featuring improved functionality, modern finishes, and a layout designed to support everyday living and entertaining. Adjacent living and dining spaces were thoughtfully redesigned to create a seamless flow throughout the home, while the updated fireplace provides a warm and inviting focal point. Additional improvements to the bathroom, laundry room, and hallway enhanced both comfort and efficiency, ensuring every space contributes to the home's overall functionality and style. Through careful planning, quality craftsmanship, and timeless design choices, this renovation successfully blends modern living with lasting elegance. The result is a beautifully refreshed home that feels brighter, more connected, and perfectly tailored to the homeowners' lifestyle.

The objective was to create a warm neutral space to later customize to a specific colour palate/preference of the end user for this new construction home being built to sell. A high-end contemporary feel was requested to attract buyers in the area. An impressive kitchen that exuded high class and made an impact on guests as they entered the home, without being overbearing. The space offers an appealing open floorplan conducive to entertaining with indoor-outdoor flow. Due to the spec nature of this house, the home had to remain appealing to the builder, while keeping a broad audience of potential buyers in mind. The challenge lay in creating a unique look, with visually interesting materials and finishes, while not being so unique that potential owners couldn’t envision making it their own. The focus on key elements elevates the look, while other features blend and offer support to these striking components. As the home was built for sale, profitability was important; materials were sourced at best value, while retaining high-end appeal. Adaptations to the home’s original design plan improve flow and usability within the kitchen-greatroom. The client desired a rich dark finish. The chosen colours tie the kitchen to the rest of the home (creating unity as combination, colours and materials, is repeated throughout). Photos- Paul Grdina

This West Lafayette couple was tired of their worn out cabinets and appliances, an outdated design and a less than functional work space. They were interested in visually opening up their kitchen to allow for entertaining. Riverside Construction accomplished this by removing the wall peninsula cabinets, moving the sink under the rear window and repositioning the double ovens closer to the range top. Maple cabinets and granite countertops added a new beauty and warmth to the space, while luxury vinyl tile flooring and a travertine backsplash completed the new look. All of these remodeling improvements not only allowed for a more functional cooking space, but created the perfect environment for many friendly gatherings and parties.

This bathroom was completely improved to create a timeless space that builds appeal and interest through decor elements and textures. The final result exceeded the client's expectations and the bathroom has earned its bragging rights.

A small bathroom gets a big improvement with the addition of a shower, skylights, and a custom sliding barn door using reclaimed wood planks. The shower features a shaving ledge and shampoo cubbie, finished with a schluter edge. Hex tile flooring was continued into the shower. An integrated concrete sink and vanity was custom made. The sliding barn door and mirrors were also custom made using reclaimed wood planks. A section of the attic was finished off with a cabinet and concrete counter to match the vanity for additional storage space. A large industrial metal cabinet sits at the end of the hall for a more interesting storage solution.

We recently enjoyed the opportunity to remodel three floors of a nineteenth-century Cambridge home with our project partners, architect Tom Downer and designer Jayme Kennerknecht/LDa Architects. . • The owners – a family of four that includes both a teenager and a toddler - wanted a house better suited to entertaining but also appropriate for family together time. Specific improvements on their wish list included a playroom that could handle differing family needs, a custom bar for entertaining, a new fireplace, and an inviting kitchen that would remain distinct but be better connected to adjoining rooms. • Adding a fireplace to the living room involved rebuilding the entire back wall of the home. The fireplace mantel was custom designed to match an existing mantel in the nearby dining room, which is original to the home. • In the playroom, care was taken to create zones for three members of the family: The mother enjoys crafting and now has a station directly below existing skylights, the teenager has a semi-private nook at the back of the space for relaxing, and the youngest in the family can enjoy toys and games placed along one wall alongside a rug for playing on the floor. On the same level, we created a separate guest bedroom with a new closet and a window designed to match other windows throughout the home. • The kitchen is fully upgraded and custom designed to accommodate the mother’s cooking habits, with specific elements including a farmer’s sink in the island and a stainless steel counter with an integrated sink for food preparation placed behind it on the counter. To improve storage in the much-used room, corner drawer units were installed instead of lazy Susan cabinets. Also, the homeowners were not interested in an open floor plan, but did want to improve access to the living room and yard beyond. This was achieved by expanding the opening between the two rooms allowing the cook to engage with family and guests and have a clear view when children are playing in the yard.

The finished product was a wonderful blast of color, sounds and interest throughout the entire landscape. The Bournes and our landscape team were able to build off of each others vision and put together a landscape that was a true oasis away from the high energy attitude of Speedway!

Elegant redo of an outdated 80s kitchen in Francis Creek. The removal of an existing wall allowed for the design and installation of Mr. and Mrs. K’s larger u-shaped kitchen in the remodeled, open concept space. Handcrafted beautiful StarMark Cabinetry is featured in an oak “Royale” door style with a warm Nutmeg finish. The cabinetry’s staggered height design adds visual interest and allows for additional storage. High Resolution, “River Gold” Formica countertops feature a rich, creamy-white granite-pattern with linear veins of gold and gray highlighted by chocolate-brown crystals. Stylishly curved “D” edge countertop profiles create a clean, polished look. All flooring and bathroom cabinetry were also replaced. Work was done by Hardrath Improvements LLC of Manitowoc.

A small bathroom renovation to improve the functionality for this family of four. We maximized the space by removing the large tub, increasing the size of the vanity, and adding a linen closet.

We couldn't help but get inspired by an incredible project by Prague architects Jan Holna and Petr Šedivý ( http://www.dam.cz), so we decided to create a visualization for it. We, like all 3D artists, can always find time to improve our skills and learn new techniques. It was very interesting for us to try new lighting methods and gain experience that we will use in our commercial projects. Beautiful minimalistic architectural forms and contrasting materials of the building make it stand out from the surrounding and attract attention. We invite architects who enjoy the quality of our work to collaborate on many interesting and satisfying projects Location: Prague, Czech Republic Architects: Jan Holna, Petr Šedivý ( DAM.architekti ) Visualizated by Terodesign Soft: 3dsmax, Coronarenderer, Photoshop November 2018

Yoko Oda Interior Design, LLC, Exterior Color & Photography | www.yokointeriordesign.com Pay attention to architectural details! The window shutters, molding around windows and doors, trims, pillars, and front door add interest to the exterior style. CA water-efficient front garden will thrive over time as well as improve aesthetics. This was once a brick accented beige house with a massive lawn. This new curb appeal will go a long way. House color with navy shutters and crisp white trims looks pretty with modern cherry front door.
