Lauren Hunt from Reico Kitchen and Bath in Charlotte, NC, worked with The Atta Group to design a transitional-inspired kitchen and bar using Masterpiece cabinetry. The kitchen features Masterpiece cabinets in the Martel Evercore doorstyle in a Frost finish on the perimeter. The kitchen island and bar area both features the same doorstyle with a combination of two different finishes, Riverbed and Shortbread. The countertops are Calacatta Macchia Vecchia Sapien Stone Porcelain. The client shared their experience, saying, “I love the range hood and the slatted island decor. Riverbed is a beautiful color in both sun and shade. Lauren’s advice to get samples and lay them out in different lighting was invaluable. She went above and beyond, even coming out in the parking lot on a hot summer day to help us. We truly couldn’t have done this without her. Lauren was always patient and supportive as we made decisions, and she never pressured us. Any future projects we have, we’ll 100% reach out to Lauren. She even welcomed our newborn to the showroom!” Lauren shared, “The clients came with a clear aesthetic vision and plenty of inspiration photos, but they gave me the freedom to recommend and create a space that worked for their growing family while still looking great. We added design details like two-toned dining room cabinets, dark accent shelves in glass towers, an arched valance to match the doorways, and a custom hood that pulls from the island finishes. My favorite element is the slatted accent on the island, which the installers executed perfectly. This renovation was a big project, starting with a blank slate, which can be overwhelming with so many options. But it was incredibly rewarding to work with these clients who had such a creative vision. We really worked together to create a space that met their needs while showcasing their style. It was a team effort, and I hope that comes through in the final design.” Photos courtesy of Six Cents Media.

In this 2024 build, our clients wanted a bathroom reimagined for easy access in and out of the shower, with thoughtful features like safety bars, a Toto toilet, and a seamless design to last for years to come. We ensured the space was not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly functional, incorporating modern fixtures and finishes that meet their evolving needs. Another feature of this remodel is the heated towel rack, providing extra comfort and luxury. The sleek, wall-mounted faucets and double sinks add a contemporary touch, while glass shower has a wide opening making it easy to access - this thoughtful design makes it both beautiful and practical. We also included custom cabinetry in a natural wood finish, adding warmth and storage without compromising the clean, modern aesthetic. Our goal is to create spaces that support our clients' desires to live in their homes for as long as possible, combining style with essential functionality. If you’re looking to update your home, whether for aging in place, accessibility improvements, a growing family, or just a much-needed refresh, we’re here to discuss your options.

They say a beautiful home needs a strong foundation, and for this incredible renovation, we took that literally! ? While the finished space looks like an absolute dream, the real magic happened behind the drywall. Our team tackled some extensive load-bearing engineering, carefully removing major structural walls and installing heavy-duty support beams to completely open up the floor plan. It takes a lot of hidden muscle to create a space this airy, bright, and seamless! Swipe through the gallery to see the journey from raw framing and structural steel to the stunning final reveal. What do you think of this open-concept glow-up?

Incredible antique four-seat school desk dating from the early 1900s, and salvaged from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. The unusual four-person desk features a slotted back and each seat is marked "81, 82, 83, and 84." Each seat has an arm rest that extends forward to function as a writing surface; the surface of the desks feature the typical wear and carving of antique school desks. Cast iron legs and arm rest supports complete this wonderful piece of Vanderbilt memorabilia; the desk would work wonderfully in a mud room, entry way, kids room or living room. This elongated four-seat desk is in very good condition with a nicely aged patina; it measures 84-1/4" long, 30" tall and projects 26-1/4". NMI36

Riad Zasha: Middle Eastern Beauty at the Beach Private Residence / Alys Beach, Florida Architect: Khoury & Vogt Architects Builder: Alys Beach Construction --- “Riad Zasha resides in Alys Beach, a New Urbanist community along Scenic Highway 30-A in the Florida Panhandle,” says the design team at Khoury & Vogt Architects (KVA), the town architects of Alys Beach. “So named by the homeowner, who came with an explicit preference for something more exotic and Middle Eastern, the house evokes Moroccan and Egyptian influences spatially and decoratively while maintaining continuity with its surrounding architecture, all of which is tightly coded.” E. F. San Juan furnished Weather Shield impact-rated windows and doors, a mahogany impact-rated front door, and all of the custom exterior millwork, including shutters, screens, trim, handrails, and gates. The distinctive tower boasts indoor-outdoor “Florida room” living spaces caged in beautiful wooden mashrabiya grilles created by our team. The execution of this incredible home by the professionals at Alys Beach Construction and KVA resulted in a landmark residence for the town. Challenges: “Part of [the Alys Beach] coding, along with the master plan itself, dictated that a tower mark the corner of the lot,” says KVA. “Aligning this with the adjoining park to the south reinforces the axiality of each and locks the house into a greater urban whole.” The sheer amount of custom millwork created for this house made it a challenge, but a welcome one. The unique exterior called for wooden details everywhere, from the shutters to the handrails, mouldings and trim, roof decking, courtyard gates, ceiling panels for the Florida rooms, loggia screen panels, and more—but the tower was the standout element. The homeowners’ desire for Middle Eastern influences was met through the wooden mashrabiya (or moucharaby) oriel-style wooden latticework enclosing the third-story tower living space. Creating this focal point was some of our team’s most unique work to date, requiring the ultimate attention to detail, precision, and planning. The location close to the Gulf of Mexico also dictated that we partner with our friends at Weather Shield on the impact-rated exterior windows and doors, and their Lifeguard line was perfect for the job. The mahogany impact-rated front door also combines safety and security with beauty and style. Solution: Working closely with KVA and Alys Beach Construction on the timeline and planning for our custom wood products, windows, and doors was monumental to the success of this build. The amount of millwork produced meant our team had to carefully manage their time while ensuring we provided the highest quality of detail and work. The location south of Scenic Highway 30-A, steps from the beach, also meant deciding with KVA and Alys Beach Construction what materials should be used for the best possible production quality and looks while adhering to coding and standing the test of time in the harsh Gulfside elements such as high winds, humidity, and salt. The tower elements alone required the utmost care for building and installation. It was truly a test of skill for our team and Alys Beach Construction to create the corbels and other support pieces that would hold up the wooden oriel windows and latticework screens. We couldn’t be happier with the result and are genuinely honored to have been part of the talented team on such a cornerstone residence in the Alys Beach townscape. --- Photography courtesy of Alys Beach

We completely flipped the kitchen layout, removed walls and added a steel beam, as well as footings and columns in the garage to support the new structural load. The new layout is open, filled with natural light and has; incredible cabinet storage, a dream pantry with glass pocket doors, a computer workstation, subway tile backsplash, as well as new windows, doors, flooring and lighting. This first floor remodel also included wainscoting throughout and a guest bathroom.

Incredible Los Altos transformation. This home was brought to Design Matters of Los Gatos in the middle of construction as many elements were not working well. I was able to provide new kitchen layout and material designs along with ceiling designs, color palettes, designs for the bathrooms and provide a harmonious space for this lovely family~

Our clients, a couple in their 40’s, approached us to remodel their Kitchen, which felt cramped and closed off from the rest of the Main Floor. They felt especially isolated when entertaining guests. They love to cook and entertain, but the lack of space made both of those things difficult for them to do. We removed the walls surrounding the Kitchen, opening it up to the rest of the Main Floor. We expanded the Kitchen across the new open area, allowing for a lot more counter space for preparing and serving food. This also gave room for an enormous island, which is perfect for guests to gather around while entertaining. During the planning stage, it was discovered that beams and posts needed to remain in the space for structural support. Our talented designer, Chantal, was able to incorporate the beams and posts in the design of the Kitchen, so they served a logical purpose, rather than feeling like they were in the way. Featured in the new Kitchen are classic black and white cabinets, complemented by brass fixtures and accents. Ample task and ambient lighting was installed in order to brighten up this new space and allow for better visibility when cooking in the Kitchen. We also installed luxury vinyl flooring throughout the space, which is not only stylish,but incredibly durable. From the beginning of the project, our Clients shared with us their concerns about the project staying within the budget, and the accuracy of the timeline for construction. Ultimately, we were able to ease those concerns, as we finished the renovation on time, and within the allotted budget without compromising on the quality or design wishes of our clients.

The ceiling of this porch was unfinished. It had been added against the house on half and over an existing roof on the other. When I started, the old roof and shingles could be seen over the sliding glass doors. The construction of the porch was incredibly poorly done. As a result the support beams were all twisted and the posts weren't aligned. The tails of the eave and the hips hadn't been done properly. It was quite a project to get it to look like this.

This white oak dining table looked so incredible in this space. We feel honored to have been chosen to build pieces for this amazing space. The dining table has two pedestals that are solid white oak boxes with waterfall mitered edges. The two boxes are connected by two stretchers to support the gap. As with all of our tables, we recessed steel c channel underneath the table top to ensure that the tabletop remains flat over time. Unfortunately, we didn't end up receiving any photographs of the base so we have attached a few of our CAD drawings of the piece so that you can visualize what we described above. The drawings don't do them justice but you will get the idea. This white oak custom dining table was handmade in San Diego, CA.
