California Closets ConnecticutTask lighting usually requires a high intensity light which is 500 lux or higher at the surface where the task is performed. The goal is to put brighter light where it is needed to perform tasks that require intricate detail such as sewing or in dark spaces which may require higher lighting intensities. Lighting a specific area, such as under cabinet lighting, is ideal for task lighting since typical overhead lighting is often blocked by a person’s shadow or by higher shelves or cabinets.
Kitchen Solvers of FrederickThis was a custom kitchen remodeling project where we refaced the kitchen cabinets and butler’s pantry in Cherry with Walzcraft 5 piece mortise and tenon raised panel doors with 5 piece mortise and tenon raised panel drawer fronts. We used Maple with MDF center panels on the door and drawers.
The stain used was Heritage Color Wiping Stain, Solvent Wiped Dark Brown Glaze with Heavy Intensity, Satin Finish Topcoat. For the island, the stain used was Linen Solid Tone Finish with Dry Wiped Light Brown Glaze with Heavy Glaze Intensity, Satin Finish Topcoat.
We modified the base cabinets in Butler’s Pantry to allow installation of a wine cooler. We then replaced the drawer boxes and guides, adding full extension drawer guides. We also provided new door and drawer pulls.
Some additional work that we did to the kitchen was added fluted pilasters and wainscot paneling on the island. We also added raised panel ends on wall and base cabinets. The existing appliances remained in place, at wall oven cabinet refacing materials were installed by loosening wall ovens and applying refacing, then re-securing ovens. Microwave and dishwasher remained in place.
SPACE LINE DESIGN ARCHITECTSSLDarch: The shaded Main Entry, tucked deep into the shadows, is approached from a rising stepped garden path, leading up to a gentle, quiet water feature and custom stainless steel, glass and wood pivot entry door...open this and venture in to the Central Foyer space, shrouded by curved concrete & stainless steel structure and orienting the visitor to the central core of this curvaceous home.
From this central orientation point, one begins to perceive the magic and mystery yet to be revealed in the undulating spatial volumes, spiraling out in several directions.
Ahead is the kitchen and breakfast room, to the right are the Children's Bedroom Wing and the 'ocotillo stairs' to Master Bedroom upstairs. Venture left down the gentle ramp that follows along the gurgling water stream and meander past the bar and billiards, or on towards the main living room.
The entire ceiling areas are a brilliant series of overlapping smoothly curved plaster and steel framed layers, separated by translucent poly-carbonate panels.
This combats the intense summer heat and light, but carefully allows indirect natural daylight to gently sift through the deep interior of this unique desert home.
Wandering through the organic curves of this home eventually leads you to another gentle ramp leading to the very private and secluded Meditation Room,
entered through a double shoji door and sporting a supple leather floor radiating around a large circular glass Floor Window. Here is the ideal place to sit and meditate while seeming to hover over the colorful reflecting koi pool just below. The glass meditation room walls slide open, revealing a special desert garden, while at night the gurgling water reflects dancing lights up through the glass floor into this lovely Zen Zone.
"Blocking the intense summer sun was a prime objective here and was accomplished by clever site orientation, massive roof overhangs, super insulated exterior walls and roof, ultra high-efficiency water cooled A/C system and ample earth contact and below grade areas."
There is a shady garden path with foot bridge crossing over a natural desert wash, leading to the detached Desert Office, actually set below the xeriscape desert garden by 30" while hidden below, completely underground and naturally cooled sits another six car garage.
The main residence also has a 4 car below grade garage and lovely swimming pool with party patio in the backyard.
This property falls withing the City Of Scottsdale Natural Area Open Space area so special attention was required for this sensitive desert land project.

COOL IN THE SUMMER, WARM IN THE WINTER
Did you know that up to 50% of a home’s heating and cooling energy can be lost through its windows? That’s why we designed this unique cellular shade that traps air in distinct pockets to help keep your house cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
And while the honeycomb design is praised for its efficiency, its shape and overall aesthetic are nothing short of beautiful.
Double Honeycomb
EVEN GREATER EFFICIENCIES
Our double-honeycomb construction traps air even more efficiently than our single honeycomb by sandwiching two honeycomb cells between your room and the window.

SPACE LINE DESIGN ARCHITECTSSLDarch: The shaded Main Entry, tucked deep into the shadows, is approached from a rising stepped garden path, leading up to a gentle, quiet water feature and custom stainless steel, glass and wood pivot entry door...open this and venture in to the Central Foyer space, shrouded by curved concrete & stainless steel structure and orienting the visitor to the central core of this curvaceous home.
From this central orientation point, one begins to perceive the magic and mystery yet to be revealed in the undulating spatial volumes, spiraling out in several directions.
Ahead is the kitchen and breakfast room, to the right are the Children's Bedroom Wing and the 'ocotillo stairs' to Master Bedroom upstairs. Venture left down the gentle ramp that follows along the gurgling water stream and meander past the bar and billiards, or on towards the main living room.
The entire ceiling areas are a brilliant series of overlapping smoothly curved plaster and steel framed layers, separated by translucent poly-carbonate panels.
This combats the intense summer heat and light, but carefully allows indirect natural daylight to gently sift through the deep interior of this unique desert home.
Wandering through the organic curves of this home eventually leads you to another gentle ramp leading to the very private and secluded Meditation Room,
entered through a double shoji door and sporting a supple leather floor radiating around a large circular glass Floor Window. Here is the ideal place to sit and meditate while seeming to hover over the colorful reflecting koi pool just below. The glass meditation room walls slide open, revealing a special desert garden, while at night the gurgling water reflects dancing lights up through the glass floor into this lovely Zen Zone.
"Blocking the intense summer sun was a prime objective here and was accomplished by clever site orientation, massive roof overhangs, super insulated exterior walls and roof, ultra high-efficiency water cooled A/C system and ample earth contact and below grade areas."
There is a shady garden path with foot bridge crossing over a natural desert wash, leading to the detached Desert Office, actually set below the xeriscape desert garden by 30" while hidden below, completely underground and naturally cooled sits another six car garage.
The main residence also has a 4 car below grade garage and lovely swimming pool with party patio in the backyard.
This property falls withing the City Of Scottsdale Natural Area Open Space area so special attention was required for this sensitive desert land project.
Home ImprovementWest or east, home is the best. Happy, warm, harmonious home is the dream and target of people. How to decorate our home is very important. We have the experience that the bedding we saw in emporium is beautiful, but the effect does not good when we bring it home. This is because we do not choose bedding according to the color collocation of our dream bedrooms. Here are some classic color collocation methods for you:
Color collocation of light with dark: when the main color of your dream bedroom is light, such as white, light color bedding will make your bedroom feel pale, ordinary and have no sense of color. On the contrary, dark or bright color bedding such as chocolate, purple, green, yellow will make your space full of vitality. The collocation of light and dark color gives people strong visual impact. So when your dream bedroom have dark color as its main tone, light or bright color like white, pink, red and yellow goes well with it. The space will feel depressing if you use dark color bedding.
Color collocation method of similar color: it means choose bedding with similar color to the main color of bedroom. For example, when the main color of your dream bedroom is purple, white bedding with few purple decoration patterns is good choice. There would be no layering if you use bedding in large area purple.
Collocation method of matching complex with simple: if the decoration style of bedroom is complex, concise and elegant bedding goes well with it, or the space will be disorderly and unsystematic.
The intensity of lighting: light intensity is the factor that people often neglect. Avoid using dark color bedding in bedroom with dark light.
The relationship of whole and part: the main color of bedroom is whole, bedding color is part. A guest cannot usurp the host's role. So does the bedding. There should be primary and secondary in bedroom color collocation. Bedding color only plays the role of embellishing.
Take all the elements in bedroom into consideration: all the elements in dream bedroom – wall, furniture, floor, and bedding – should be considered. They should be in consistent.
We all know that color has the function of mood adjustment. We should choose color according to our actually needs.
Green and purple is good to soothe the nerves and relax people. Patient with phobia and schizophrenia can choose the two colors.
Light saffron yellow, blue and pink can make people exciting, happy and full of hope. Depression and anxiety disorder patient can choose them.
Cyan is good to produce sleepiness. It suit for those insomniac.
Besides, warm color bedding with thicker fabric suit to use in winter and autumn for the decrease of temperature.
