On this late 1970's Plymouth home we replaced the old cedar siding and instill new James Hardie Cedarmill Lap siding, James Hardie Straight Edge Shakes, James Hardie Soffits and Fascia. The color of the siding and shakes is Sail Cloth. The Color of the soffits and fascia is Monterey Taupe. We also installed some beautiful stone work up along the sides of the garage.

Create a beautiful transitional kitchen with warm cherry raised panel cabinet with light and airy quartz countertops. The backsplash will marry the cabinets and countertops in a blend of tones in natural stone. The dramatic effect achieved by staggered cabinet heights, glass uppers and two cabinet colors further customizes the new space. While coordinated banisters further transform the home. Instillation of a lifetime Pergo Max floor to combine the kitchen, eating area and stairs will create a seamless flow to the new space.

A vintage clock and a planter with succulents finish off this console table. They add to the homey, casual vibe we wanted to instill. When choosing accessories, remember to mix materials and shapes to create interest. Here we have the metal of the clock contrasting with the wood planter and greenery.

We mixed Modern sophistication with old world charm when designing this "Minneapolis Modern Tudor." There is just something about the feeling this home instills in you when you experience it. "Success" is the best word we can us to explain the pains taking attention to detail along with years & years of iterations to get it just right. Exceptional Homes is not just the name of our building company. It is what we aim for every time we bring a new piece of art to the Minneapolis CityScape. Find more here: groundupdevelopment.com

Taking the WOW factor of this project a step farther, Archadeck added a new railing comprised of baroque-style aluminum balusters from Deckorators with an Ipe rail and topped in composite. The combination of materials is truly breathtaking and adds a unique and elegant feel to the entire deck! No matter what size a project is, we are the experts at instilling a custom look to any outdoor structure!

A long-time friend asked for advice on an outdoor space that was underutilized and underwhelming. The result of a quick design collaboration, some sketching, and some creativity gave my client a highly-functional and envy-instilling outdoor kitchen and dining space. Being the handy man he is, my client built the cabinets and concrete countertops himself, with some help from Youtube and advice from his architect ;)

Wenge wood is used in this contemporary custom Arbor Mills kitchen, to bring in nature for a serene and tranquil environment. Integrated lighting and openness of the shelving, instills a sense of balance.

With the pergola frame mounted directly to the roof line, the outdoor space would have felt too confined. So, risers were added to elevate the pergola frame above the low roof line. With these risers installed, the pergola roof now soars to 10′-6″, which instills a spacious loft-like feeling to the patio. A customized super gutter that intuitively collected all the rain water running off the flat roof of the home and channeled it into the R-Blade’s hidden gutter system, was created to discharge excess water into a garden space outside the stem wall.

A window mounted high in the vaulted space brings in southern light without compromising privacy from the immediately adjacent house. Cabinetry was broken up into discrete sections to instill a sense of lightness and simplicity. The scale of the island is moderated by open shelving and space for a pair of stools. The island counter expanse is broken up by a farmhouse sink which also serves as a nod towards functionality. Layers of lighting are provided by adjustable ceiling mount fixtures, pendants, and a concealed cove.
