When we first met, this client was extremely frustrated. A current contractor had left her with a yard in disarray, a project incomplete and the loss of an entire season of swimming pool use. Additionally, years of accumulated DIY projects left other potential landscape contractors overwhelmed and unwilling to take this project on. Picking up the pieces, we put together a design that would meet the client’s goals and our team set to work. We completed the retaining wall, laid a modular paver pool deck, updated the cedar deck, added privacy screening, solved drainage issues, installed LED lighting, overhauled plantings to maximize color and brought the lawn back to life. The re-defined space is a dream-come-true for our client. A yard which two years ago was a jungle of debris, is now the “go-to” gathering place for family & friends to relax and have fun.

UNASHAMEDLY NOSTALGIC AND YET TIMELESSLY MODERN: | its octagonal design makes the 1930 Series a bathroom classic. Octagonal means having eight corners. Ingenious means creatively outstanding. The 1930 Series is both. The Duravit product range would be incomplete without this classic, which was designed in the Golden Era and presented to the public for the fi rst time in 1930. Over time, many charming pieces were added to 1930 Series to create the complete collection as we know it today. And yet, however consistently classic its look, 1930 Series epitomizes cutting-edge technology—as exemplifi ed by its wall-mounted bidet and WC. | Available at www.ShopStudio41.com

Before, this living room felt underutilized and visually unbalanced, with a disconnected focal point and minimal architectural presence. The space lacked both warmth and intention, leaving the layout feeling incomplete. Our goal was to create a refined focal point that brings together both structure and comfort—true to our philosophy of balancing the home’s strong architectural elements with its soft, lived-in experience. We reimagined the fireplace wall by introducing a clean, built-in composition with symmetrical shelving, integrated lighting, and a modern linear fireplace insert. The addition of custom cabinetry enhances both functionality and visual weight, anchoring the space. A new chandelier adds vertical interest and elevates the room, while carefully selected furnishings, textures, and warm neutral tones create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. The result is a grounded yet elevated living space—where architectural clarity meets everyday comfort.
