The objective was to create a warm neutral space to later customize to a specific colour palate/preference of the end user for this new construction home being built to sell. A high-end contemporary feel was requested to attract buyers in the area. An impressive kitchen that exuded high class and made an impact on guests as they entered the home, without being overbearing. The space offers an appealing open floorplan conducive to entertaining with indoor-outdoor flow.
Due to the spec nature of this house, the home had to remain appealing to the builder, while keeping a broad audience of potential buyers in mind. The challenge lay in creating a unique look, with visually interesting materials and finishes, while not being so unique that potential owners couldn’t envision making it their own. The focus on key elements elevates the look, while other features blend and offer support to these striking components. As the home was built for sale, profitability was important; materials were sourced at best value, while retaining high-end appeal. Adaptations to the home’s original design plan improve flow and usability within the kitchen-greatroom. The client desired a rich dark finish. The chosen colours tie the kitchen to the rest of the home (creating unity as combination, colours and materials, is repeated throughout).

Lighting or illumination is the deliberate use of light to achieve a practical or aesthetic effect. Lighting includes the use of both artificial light sources like lamps and light fixtures, as well as natural illumination by capturing daylight. Day-lighting (using windows, skylights, or light shelves) is sometimes used as the main source of light during daytime in buildings. Proper lighting can enhance task performance, improve the appearance of an area, or have positive psychological effects on occupants.
Indoor lighting is usually accomplished using light fixtures, and is a key part of interior design. Lighting can also be an intrinsic component of landscape projects.

Twin solid black-painted stringers support thick oak treads in this contemporary Maryland home, creating a bold floating effect enhanced by the open risers. A horizontal blade railing system maintains the clean, modern aesthetic, topped with a wood handrail that matches the oak treads and landings. Metal posts anchor the structure at key points. Every element was carefully chosen to complement the home's unique lighting, wall colors, and trim. Together, the metal and wood create a beautifully bold architectural statement while seamlessly integrating into the home.

Imagine your outdoor space looking this inviting. You will be the envy of friends, family, and neighbors. Entertain in style with a remote controlled pergola that opens and closes. When closed, it protects your patio from rain, blazing hot sun, and UV radiation. When partially open it allows the escape of heat, while still shading space. When open enjoy the view of a cloudy day or starry night with friends. Opened, it allows warming solar energy and beneficial sunshine into home and onto patio.
Materials are made from extruded aluminum that will withstand up to 182 mph wind speeds, hail, and snow. Components are powder coated to prevent fade, rust, or corrosion. No painting is ever necessary. Four standard colors to chose from or 200 custom colors.
Keep the party going even when weather threatens to take it inside. These South Carolina home owners love their new space for dining outside by the stone fireplace, enjoying a morning cup of coffee, or relaxing during a cool rain.

The existing deck did not get used because of the hot afternoon sun so they decided to build a screened in porch primarily as an entertaining and dining space.
A lot of research was done to make sure "outdoor" products were used that would stand the test of time and not get damaged by the elements.
The porch was enlarged from the original deck and is 16' x 28' and serves as a lounging and dining area. A key component was making the porch look like it was a part of the house.
We used black paint on the doors, window frames and trim for high contrast and personality to the space.
Pressure treated wood was used for the decking. The ceiling was constructed with headboard and 1 x 6 inch trim to look like beams. Adding the trim to the top and painting the molding black gave the room an interesting design detail.
The interior wood underneath the screens is yellow pine in a tongue and groove design and is chair-rail height to provide a child safe wall. The screens were installed from the inside so maintenance would be easy from the inside and would avoid having to get on a ladder for any repairs.
