Nestled in a serene forest clearing in Pine, CO, our client envisioned a deck that would harmonize with the natural beauty of the surrounding pine trees, providing a tranquil retreat for relaxation. To bring this vision to life, we designed and constructed a deck that seamlessly blends with its environment.
We incorporated natural log posts, sourced locally, to serve as the deck’s supports, enhancing the rustic aesthetic and creating a cohesive connection with the forested landscape.
For the decking and fascia, we selected brown composite materials that emulate the appearance of natural wood while offering superior durability and minimal maintenance. This choice ensures the deck withstands the elements and retains its beauty over time without the need for regular upkeep.
The result is a harmonious outdoor space that reflects the tranquility of its mountain setting, providing the homeowners with a low-maintenance sanctuary to enjoy the serene beauty of their natural surroundings.

New to the Pacific Northwest, our recently retired clients had relocated from the Fairbanks area to take advantage of the more moderate climate and improved access to family and resources. They selected a nice home in a desirable location with a large enough lot next to some green space to afford them some breathing room.
Taking a less is more approach, the homeowners’ goal was to establish a more neutral pallet with white walls, wood and earthy accents. We kept the budget at the forefront of our conversations, and they took care to make practical decisions, investing strategically in the upgrades to their home.
Every decision and change made went a long way toward aligning the style of the home with the values of its new owners.
The homeowners identify with their Danish heritage, which they express through their aesthetic and selections.
The master bathroom improvements were especially important to the homeowners. We added heated floors and completely reworked the layout and design. It featured a new tub, a custom shower, tile throughout, shower glass, a custom cabinet made by a local cabinet maker and new lights and fixtures.

This project is a case study of a client living in Athens, Greece. The client resides in a 60-square-meter duplex loft apartment. The overall style of the house leans towards a Scandinavian modern aesthetic. The client, a woman with a preference for minimalistic and fresh designs, shared with us that her home's overall decor revolves around white and black tones. However, she desired something unique in terms of lighting fixtures. We recommended this wooden pumpkin pendant light, featuring a natural wood color and a thin slice design that disperses light for localized illumination. We suggested she install this pendant light in a space that could accentuate the overall ambiance. The client received the product and placed the pendant light in the area connecting the upper and lower levels, expressing great satisfaction with the result.

Tradition Trail is lined with towering mature palms; you’re taken by that indefinable sense of place. You’ll find that same feeling in the curve of a proudly manicured green, in the warmth of a gracious welcome, in the sense of all that endures. Perhaps as no other private community in the desert, Tradition Golf Club remains true to the ideals of ultra-exclusivity and understated elegance. There is a blend of Spanish Revival, Early California and Mediterranean architecture.
My Client's second home forfeits none of the grace and charm of the exterior as it leans towards a modern palm desert aesthetic and comfortable interior. Clean lines, expansive glass and a bright color palette create a stunning visual transition from room to room.
Bright colored fabrics reflecting the sky and landscape are used throughout the home. Bold design features like large scaled wallpaper are seen in the both the Dining Room & Master bedroom. The powder bath is completely covered in a beaded wallpaper making it a truly exceptional experience. There is a play with light and the patterns it creates through the custom decorative light fixtures. The artwork was curated by LJLdesigns from San Francisco, Los Angeles and local artists in Pam Springs. A hanging sculpture in the entry niche and a rayon thread 3D art greet you as you enter their home.

A complete backyard electrical installation and lighting renovation by Zell Electric. This project showcases expert planning and execution of a safe, functional, and visually stunning outdoor lighting system for a premium resort-style property. We designed and installed a comprehensive, low-voltage landscape lighting system featuring high-efficiency LED technology.
Our work included the meticulous installation of multiple architectural wall-mounted lanterns (2700K warm white) on the custom wood fencing to ensure even illumination and a welcoming ambiance. We strategically placed path and accent lights throughout the garden beds and around the freeform in-ground swimming pool perimeter, enhancing both safety and aesthetic appeal without harsh glare. All work adheres to the highest electrical safety standards and local Kelowna BC electrical code.

This Nashville project presented an exciting challenge with its technical requirements for soundproofing and acoustic design. Collaborating with the renowned local architecture firm Daniels and Chandler, we brought their vision to life. The client opted for a striking accent wall in the studio and a darker, contemporary aesthetic to enhance the space. We added a kitchenette featuring a vaulted ceiling, a stainless steel range hood, modern storage solutions, and custom millwork. The commercial bathroom was designed with functionality and clean lines in mind.
Additionally, we built a custom wood fence around the property for added privacy and security, complemented by expanded paved parking with new striping for guest spaces. As experienced Nashville general contractors, we specialize in custom construction, luxury renovations, and unique design-build projects that blend style and practicality. From modern kitchens to tailored outdoor solutions, our team delivers exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Our clients were looking to build an income property for use as a short term rental in their backyard. In order to keep maximize the available space on a limited footprint, we designed the ADU around a spiral staircase leading up to the loft bedroom. The vaulted ceiling gives the small space a much larger appearance.
To provide privacy for both the renters and the homeowners, the ADU was set apart from the house with its own private entrance.
The design of the ADU was done with local Pacific Northwest aesthetics in mind, including green exterior paint and a mixture of woodgrain and metal fixtures for the interior.
Durability was a major concern for the homeowners. In order to minimize potential damages from renters, we selected quartz countertops and waterproof flooring. We also used a high-quality interior paint that will stand the test of time and clean easily.
The end result of this project was exactly what the client was hoping for, and the rental consistently receives 5-star reviews on Airbnb.
