While the kitchen was the main driver for this project, moving the laundry room upstairs was our customer's dream come true. The love the work space and hanging space and the much more open feel compared to the original laundry room downstairs. This creation of this spacious laundry room (converted from a bedroom) involved removing a closet and moving a door. The cabinets are Wellborn Premier with with the Henlow door and classic drawer front (finish - Glacier). Lighting is Lotus LED wafer lights (3000k)

This project involved a complete removal of the primary bathroom and replacement of all finishes. As part of the process we created a new doorway opening into a private office beyond, and an enlarged storage area where a small linen closet had been previously. Ceilings were clipped to eliminate busy wall angles and the shower was raised to create loft in the space.

This kitchen remodel overhaul involved removing both interior walls (between the old kitchen and the dining room) and exterior walls (incorporating the footprint from a covered porch). The shed roof-line was finished with a 'tongue & groove', together with newly added beams and painted white. Designer - Jerry Hankins, CKD Photo - J. Hankins

The design involved removing a structural wall and transforming a tight, U-shaped kitchen into a large, open eat-in kitchen with an island. Dated oak cabinets, heavy soffits, and dark countertops were replaced with a light, airy aesthetic and cabinets reaching to the ceiling.

Demolition of the previous patio started in late April; it involved removing all the tiles, concrete and the torch on the subflooring. Since the deck experienced a few leaks in its life, it required new subflooring in a few different area in order to make the structure stable. The homeowner chose Valordek 68mil Pebble Beige in order to give it a rich look to go along with pool. The installation of the Valordek Membrane was then completed by one of our certified installers.

Los Angeles projects often involve creative designs and high-end materials. I’ve installed wallpaper in lofts, bungalows, and contemporary homes across the city. From paper to vinyl to custom murals, each install is approached with a clean, professional finish in mind.

This project involved converting a dark and dated, exposed log kitchen to something lighter and more functional for a young family. We removed a cramped island and had to max out storage in other ways by adding pull out trash, pantry and utensil stations. Painting the v-groove paneling white and covering the logs with full height tile made the small space much more airy and cheerful.

Our client’s goal was to create a small, high-performance, healthy home for herself and her teenage son while providing a place for her father to age in place. An attached private accessory dwelling provides a space for him as well as flexibility in the future. The new home was designed to minimize its footprint on site, made smaller than the original 1930’s house. Embracing adaptability and efficiency, the residence includes two dwellings: a one-bedroom 795 square-foot accessory dwelling at the lower grade and a two-story 1330 square-foot primary dwelling located above. Involved in all aspects of project execution, our client oversaw the process by living in a used trailer parked in the backyard throughout the project’s construction. Family-Share focused on maximizing the footprint’s performance, access to natural light and the health of the occupants. Sustainable features include high-performance glazing, solar preheat for domestic and hot water in-floor heating and reclaimed fir car decking rainscreen siding.

Williamsburg, Brooklyn condo renovation McCarren Park Condo involved a full kitchen renovation, partial bath renovation and general construction to improve various functions of the space. The kitchen was transformed from dark and dated to bright, fresh and modern. In the bedroom we removed a second entrance to the bath and gained storage within new frameless closets adding a architectural sconce to light the room. We refinished and reupholstered a vintage dining set using Edelman leather. Throughout the home we aimed to achieve an easy, clean vibe.

When first meeting with this family we discussed their desire to have a fully involved outdoor space that would rival their indoor entertaining areas. We decided to remove the existing balcony and start with a clean slate. The design elements had to include stone arches, wood ceiling and beams, and a luxurious kitchen space with gorgeous granite. Not only did we incorporate these elements into the space but were also able to vault the dining ceiling with an open gable design, and add a barrel vaulted ceiling above the kitchen with brick veneer finish! Truly eye catching and stunning to anyone that has seen it!!

This project involved converting a partially finished basement into an ultimate media room with an English pub. The family is big on entertaining and enjoys watching movies and college football. It was important to combine the media area with the pub to create options for guests within the same space. Although the home has a full sized basement the staircase was centrally located, which made it difficult for special configuration. As a result, we were able to work with the existing plan be designing a media area large enough for a sectional sofa and additional seating with the English pub at the far end of the room. The home owner had a projection screen on a bare wall with the electrical components stacked on boxes. The new plan involved installing new cabinets to accommodate components and surround the screen to give it a built-in finish. Open shelving also allows the homeowner to feature some of their collectible sports memorabilia. As if the 130 inch projection screen wasn’t large enough, the surround sound system makes you feel like you are part of the action. It is as close to the I MAX viewing experience as you are going to get in a home. Sound-deadening insulation was installed in the ceiling and walls to prevent noise from penetrating the second floor. The design of the pub was inspired by the home owner’s favorite local pub, Brazenhead. The bar countertop with lift-top entrance was custom built by our carpenters to simulate aged wood. The finish looks rough, but it is smooth enough to wipe down easily. The top encloses the bar and provides seating for guests. A TV at the bar allows guest to follow along with the game on the big screen or tune into another game. The game table provides even another option for entertainment in the media room. Stacked stone with thick mortar joints was installed on the face of the bar and to an opposite wall containing the entrance to a wine room. Hand scrapped hardwood floors were installed in the pub portion of the media room to provide yet another touch to “Brazenhead” their own pub. The wet bar is under a soffit area that continues into the media area due to existing duct work. We wanted to creatively find a way to separate the two spaces. Adding trim on the ceiling and front of soffit at the bar defined the area and made a great transition from the drywall soffit to the wet bar. A tin ceiling was installed which added to the ambience of the pub wet bar and further aided in defining the soffit as an intentional part of the design. Custom built wainscoting borders the perimeter of the media room. The end result allows the client to comfortably entertain in a space designed just for them.

This was a challenging project for very discerning clients. The home was originally owned by the client’s father, and she inherited it when he passed. Care was taken to preserve the history in the home while upgrading it for the current owners. This home exceeds current energy codes, and all mechanical and electrical systems have been completely replaced. The clients remained in the home for the duration of the reno, so it was completed in two phases. Phase 1 involved gutting the basement, removing all asbestos containing materials (flooring, plaster), and replacing all mechanical and electrical systems, new spray foam insulation, and complete new finishing. The clients lived upstairs while we did the basement, and in the basement while we did the main floor. They left on a vacation while we did the asbestos work. Phase 2 involved a rock retaining wall on the rear of the property that required a lengthy approval process including municipal, fisheries, First Nations, and environmental authorities. The home had a new rear covered deck, garage, new roofline, all new interior and exterior finishing, new mechanical and electrical systems, new insulation and drywall. Phase 2 also involved an extensive asbestos abatement to remove Asbestos-containing materials in the flooring, plaster, insulation, and mastics. Photography by Carsten Arnold Photography.
