Garage Remodel including “Ultimate” Man-Cave upstairs: Bonterra designed and remodeled a three-car garage, including heat, water, floor finishing and custom-designed organizational systems. The upstairs was converted into the ultimate man-cave with custom, hand-made bar, finishes, and built-ins — all with hand-milled, reclaimed wood from a felled barn. The space also includes a bath/shower, custom sound system and unique touches such as a custom retro-fitted ceiling light.

he barn was built in the late 1930's and remained a working barn until the 1990's. Exterior highlights include a high tech and energy efficient roof system, large windows to fit the scale of the barn and cedar siding. There never was a bank to this barn but the client wanted one so we engineered a bank that attaches to the barn but doesn't weaken the barn walls. Interior highlights include energy efficient radiant heating, preserving the unique interior framing members, a custom stairway that floats between floors and a custom designed kitchen.

This project got its start when a proud homeowner built his residence a number of decades back on a beautiful site in Solana Beach. The new design proposed a complete reconfiguration of the interior layout and a new gallery walkway. These changes would tie together the existing house and detached garage. Simple and well executed framing made this work relatively simple, keeping the existing exterior walls and roof in place. New interior and exterior finishes were applied throughout the house. In addition to reusing most of the existing structure, sustainable features include abundant natural light and ventilation, radiant heating, solar hot water and a PV system.

Affectionately referred to as the ‘Christmas House’ - a custom wrapping room was designed for use during family holiday celebrations. Features include 7 fireplaces, heated floors, extensive quarter sawn and hand hewn wood floors. To minimize mechanical noise, outside A/C condensers are housed in a covered pit and a similar space was built for spa equipment.

This masterbath renovation is filled with inspiring ideas including a relaxing heated soaker tub! The natural light from the two windows adds character and brings the outside in. The vanity with dual undermounted sinks and new countertop offers a sleek look. The color scheme creates a timeless environment from the fixtures to the tile.

Located in the award-wining Blaine School District and within close proximity to the Southport Corridor, this is city living at its finest!

The floor plan has stately-proportioned rooms and includes formal Living and Dining Rooms; an expansive, eat-in, gourmet Kitchen/Great Room; four bedrooms on the second level with three additional bedrooms and a Family Room on the lower level; a Penthouse Playroom leading to a roof-top deck and green roof; and an attached, heated 3-car garage.

Roller / Solar shades maintain great views while also blocking heat, glare and damaging UV rays. I've designed and installed these in condos, apartments and retail spaces including The Gulch, Germantown, Buena Vista, West End, and all over the downtown Nashville area.
