This was at an open house we had at Ola Brew!
This Paradise Model ATU is extra tall and grand! As you would in you have a couch for lounging, a 6 drawer dresser for clothing, and a seating area and closet that mirrors the kitchen. Quartz countertops waterfall over the side of the cabinets encasing them in stone. The custom kitchen cabinetry is sealed in a clear coat keeping the wood tone light. Black hardware accents with contrast to the light wood. A main-floor bedroom- no crawling in and out of bed. The wallpaper was an owner request; what do you think of their choice?
The bathroom has natural edge Hawaiian mango wood slabs spanning the length of the bump-out: the vanity countertop and the shelf beneath. The entire bump-out-side wall is tiled floor to ceiling with a diamond print pattern. The shower follows the high contrast trend with one white wall and one black wall in matching square pearl finish. The warmth of the terra cotta floor adds earthy warmth that gives life to the wood. 3 wall lights hang down illuminating the vanity, though durning the day, you likely wont need it with the natural light shining in from two perfect angled long windows.
This Paradise model was way customized. The biggest alterations were to remove the loft altogether and have one consistent roofline throughout. We were able to make the kitchen windows a bit taller because there was no loft we had to stay below over the kitchen. This ATU was perfect for an extra tall person. After editing out a loft, we had these big interior walls to work with and although we always have the high-up octagon windows on the interior walls to keep thing light and the flow coming through, we took it a step (or should I say foot) further and made the french pocket doors extra tall. This also made the shower wall tile and shower head extra tall. We added another ceiling fan above the kitchen and when all of those awning windows are opened up, all the hot air goes right up and out.

Banker Wire’s architectural woven mesh is a key design element in the Willow Park Showhome, built by Zen Custom Homes and designed by AstonMorrone Designs. Utilized in two separate applications within the home—as a wall divider in the office, and as a statement kitchen island feature—the designer relied on Banker Wire’s M22-83 wire mesh pattern to create visual separations that allow the light to pass through, without impeding the flow of the open-planned space.
Acting as a statement kitchen counter partition, M22-83’s stainless steel and brass finish brings warmth to the expansive, open kitchen. Fabricated within a red maple-colored wood frame, the wire mesh creates a dividing screen by connecting the bottom of the kitchen counter with the wood ceiling accent above, which spans the length and width of the counter. When lit by the kitchen ceiling lighting source, M22-83 is brought to life; created using a pair of nested helical crimped woven wires to define the circular mesh shape, this pattern’s doubled circle mesh creates unique reflective surfaces, allowing the light to pass through the mesh in varying ways. Similarly, this combination of stainless steel and brass gives off a colorful, luxurious aesthetic, where the depth and movement of the contrasting woven wires—of silver and gold tones—dynamically change as the viewer’s perspective shifts. In addition to creating a striking, statement background for the lights to reflect off of, this wood-mesh divider installation directs the line of sight towards the outside view of the home’s backyard.
The double woven nature of the M22-83 pattern gives strength to this weave, making it a suitable option for a screen wall or space divider. The wire mesh application within this showhome office space acts as a partition that visually divides the front foyer while doubling as the back of a shelving wall. With the goal of creating a space that can be used as a flex-room or a working studio, the design team prioritized having natural light and a connection to the rest of the home. The Banker Wire mesh allows the sound and light to pass from the peripheral spaces through the length of the office space, with the trees in the transom windows located in the front foyer visible from behind the wire mesh divider wall. Additionally, the stainless steel and brass finish mirrors the wood millwork accents within the space, further adding to the masculine aesthetic of the design scheme while providing contrasting texture.

This classic Portland bungalow in the highly desirable Irvington neighborhood was in desperate need of a kitchen update. Aside from tired finishes and cabinets that have seen a full life, the original layout left the family living in a small portion of the kitchen and not taking advantage of the full square footage.
The family desired a design that married both the original architectural details of their bungalow with their preference for clean and modern European design. To accomplish this request, APD brought in sleek flat panel custom frameless cabinets filled with smart and strategic accessories to make the most out of every cabinet box, including full height pantry pull-out, spice and utensil pull-outs flanking the cooking zone, a blind corner pull-0ut to avoid loosing items in the hard-to-reach space, trash & recycling pull-0ut disguised to blend with the adjacent three drawers, and a wall cabinet pull-out sized to fit under the support beam spanning the width of the room. For the traditional - we kept the classic moldings around the windows and doors, continued the homes hardwood floors into the new space, incorporated classic school house light fixtures, and swapped out the slider to the back patio in favor for one with divided lights adding to the architectural detail. Matte black granite countertops with handmade black ceramic tile backsplash bridge the gap between the modern and the traditional thanks to their clean lines, high contrast color palette, and textural and artistic details.
Opting for a few adjustments to the layout created a space plan that took advantage of the full square footage of the room! In the original layout, the refrigerator was squeezed onto the same wall as the cooking, leaving very little counterspace around the hard working cooking zone along with a significant portion of the room (a previous addition) under-utilized. Relocating the refrigerator increased counterspace and storage while creating a “flow” through the entire room.
Luxury Miele and Subzero appliances make this kitchen a chef’s dream! To add to the clean modern look, we opted for an induction cooktop with wall oven directly below … a great alternative to the often used range! Paneling the built-in refrigerator and dishwasher help to calm the overall visual noise of the space, hiding the two hardworking appliances away!
This new family kitchen is at once hardworking, sleek, and timeless!

This new family kitchen is at once hardworking, sleek, and timeless!

Nestled in the rolling hills of Jamul, this small rural home exudes the quiet charm and tranquility of the surrounding California landscape. Designed as a peaceful retreat from the day-to-day, it reflects its owner’s deep connection to nature and her beloved menagerie of horses, chickens, sheep, ducks, and dogs. Warm, rich materials and handcrafted details define the home’s aesthetic and bring a sense of enduring comfort. The kitchen features handcrafted Hallmark cabinetry in warm-stained alder paired with ivory-painted finishes, creating a timeless and inviting palette. Quartz countertops offer easy maintenance, their golden veining harmonizing with buttery yellow Pratt & Larson handcrafted tile, where delicate bees and dragonfly relief provide a playful nod to the farm’s natural beauty. Copper accents add artisanal warmth, including a Stoll copper range hood with a custom patina finish and copper tin inlay at the island. These same materials and craftsmanship extend to the home’s fireplace surrounds. The warm-stained alder continues here, enriched with traditional dentil molding just below the mantel. Surrounding the fireboxes, artisan ceramic tile appears in a deep, rich burgundy hue, while small glass mosaic introduces a subtle interplay of soft yellows, rich browns, and creams to weave the home’s cohesive palette together. Every finish, tone, and texture — from cabinetry to fireplace — speaks a unified language of warmth and handcrafted detail. Functionality and lifestyle are equally prioritized. Now, upon entering through the new Dutch door — a favorite perch for the dogs — guests are greeted by an open, welcoming space. By removing a wall and raising a dropped ceiling, the vaulted plank and beam detailing now spans the entire space, creating a light filled, open plan that naturally connects the kitchen and living room. New high-end appliances and thoughtful features like a pull-out pantry enable the homeowner to cook and entertain with ease. Given the home’s rural setting, fire-resistant materials and durable wood-look tile flooring were selected to ensure long-term resilience, accommodating the daily rhythms of animals and outdoor living while maintaining the refined yet cozy aesthetic of a true country haven. Ultimately, this project captures the spirit of California’s rolling landscape — warm, enduring, and full of heart — creating a home that is both a sanctuary and a celebration of the life lived within and beyond its walls.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Jamul, this small rural home exudes the quiet charm and tranquility of the surrounding California landscape. Designed as a peaceful retreat from the day-to-day, it reflects its owner’s deep connection to nature and her beloved menagerie of horses, chickens, sheep, ducks, and dogs. Warm, rich materials and handcrafted details define the home’s aesthetic and bring a sense of enduring comfort. The kitchen features handcrafted Hallmark cabinetry in warm-stained alder paired with ivory-painted finishes, creating a timeless and inviting palette. Quartz countertops offer easy maintenance, their golden veining harmonizing with buttery yellow Pratt & Larson handcrafted tile, where delicate bees and dragonfly relief provide a playful nod to the farm’s natural beauty. Copper accents add artisanal warmth, including a Stoll copper range hood with a custom patina finish and copper tin inlay at the island. These same materials and craftsmanship extend to the home’s fireplace surrounds. The warm-stained alder continues here, enriched with traditional dentil molding just below the mantel. Surrounding the fireboxes, artisan ceramic tile appears in a deep, rich burgundy hue, while small glass mosaic introduces a subtle interplay of soft yellows, rich browns, and creams to weave the home’s cohesive palette together. Every finish, tone, and texture — from cabinetry to fireplace — speaks a unified language of warmth and handcrafted detail. Functionality and lifestyle are equally prioritized. Now, upon entering through the new Dutch door — a favorite perch for the dogs — guests are greeted by an open, welcoming space.

This classic Portland bungalow in the highly desirable Irvington neighborhood was in desperate need of a kitchen update. Aside from tired finishes and cabinets that have seen a full life, the original layout left the family living in a small portion of the kitchen and not taking advantage of the full square footage.
The family desired a design that married both the original architectural details of their bungalow with their preference for clean and modern European design. To accomplish this request, APD brought in sleek flat panel custom frameless cabinets filled with smart and strategic accessories to make the most out of every cabinet box, including full height pantry pull-out, spice and utensil pull-outs flanking the cooking zone, a blind corner pull-0ut to avoid loosing items in the hard-to-reach space, trash & recycling pull-0ut disguised to blend with the adjacent three drawers, and a wall cabinet pull-out sized to fit under the support beam spanning the width of the room. For the traditional - we kept the classic moldings around the windows and doors, continued the homes hardwood floors into the new space, incorporated classic school house light fixtures, and swapped out the slider to the back patio in favor for one with divided lights adding to the architectural detail. Matte black granite countertops with handmade black ceramic tile backsplash bridge the gap between the modern and the traditional thanks to their clean lines, high contrast color palette, and textural and artistic details.
Opting for a few adjustments to the layout created a space plan that took advantage of the full square footage of the room! In the original layout, the refrigerator was squeezed onto the same wall as the cooking, leaving very little counterspace around the hard working cooking zone along with a significant portion of the room (a previous addition) under-utilized. Relocating the refrigerator increased counterspace and storage while creating a “flow” through the entire room.
Luxury Miele and Subzero appliances make this kitchen a chef’s dream! To add to the clean modern look, we opted for an induction cooktop with wall oven directly below … a great alternative to the often used range! Paneling the built-in refrigerator and dishwasher help to calm the overall visual noise of the space, hiding the two hardworking appliances away!
This new family kitchen is at once hardworking, sleek, and timeless!
