The collection Linear main features are the balanced forms and terse lines, this collection choses simplicity as its point of strength. The simplicity is enriched by its matt and gloss finishes, combinable in different colours, and by the precious and durable materials, as Tecnolite and Tecnolux, beautiful to look at and pleasant to touch. The elments in different dimensions (h.cm.26 or cm.14 ) are availabe with integrated top or countertop wash-basins.

The front of the house features an open porch, a common feature in the neighborhood. Stairs leading up to it are tucked behind one of a pair of brick walls. The brick was installed with raked (recessed) horizontal joints which soften the overall scale of the walls. The clerestory windows topping the taller of the brick walls bring light into the foyer and a large closet without sacrificing privacy. The living room windows feature a slight tint which provides a greater sense of privacy during the day without having to draw the drapes. An overhang lined on its underside in stained cedar leads to the entry door which again is hidden by one of the brick walls.

A highly effective radiant and convective heater, the L1 raises "decorative widescreen" fireplace standards. Low turndowns provide hours of comfort, efficiently distributing warmth where you want it - when you want it. The L1 is also ready to take the new HeatShift System™, we recommend this option especially for installations where cooler walls immediately above the fireplace are desirable.

Contemporary, clean lines paired with a simple design concept, create stunning drama in this outdoor living space. A custom over-sized flush spa vanishes effortlessly into the pool design maintaining the "less is more" appeal the homeowner desired. Adding a faux edge gives the perception that the pool has a negative edge without the added cost and enhancing the spectacular views.

Traditional gray three-story wood exterior home idea in New York

This outdated Mid Century ranch built in late 1950’s was in serious need of an update. Our clients wanted a fresh contemporary feel that was simple in design and reflected the original Mid Century feel of the home. The new frosted Plexiglas railing allows the now open staircase and modern pendant to become part of the small dining area. White painted cabinetry with slab doors and minimal pulls add a lighter component and balance out the dark walnut cabinetry. The (3) built-in charging drawers, Legrand retractable outlets and a single door hood that opens with a light touch add a "cool" functional vibe to the space., Gray quartz countertops and a rectilinear white tile backsplash add serenity and tie in the stainless appliances giving the kitchen a modern feel. A wood waterfall countertop detail on the back of the island adds interest to the space and is anchored by the unique handblown wave glass pendants in a soft grey color. The new exposed support is both dramatic and functional in that it hides a support post in open bookcase cabinet. Wendi Nordeck Photography
