For a couple and their young family, with two kids and a dog, moving to a new house in Sellwood, Portland near the Willamette River was their dream. Luckily the 1910-built house had already been incredibly renovated by the previous owner and was move-in ready, but at 1,390 square feet the family simply needed more space. Instead of building an addition, the family of four looked to their backyard to create additional living space for all four seasons. Leveraging an existing ipe deck, Life Design Build designed and created an outdoor lounge with modern Adirondack-style custom outdoor furniture and fire pit, a complimentary spa with matching outdoor shower and hot tub, and surrounding landscaping and hardscaping. The goal was to reinforce and celebrate the home’s Pacific Northwest natural/modern cabin aesthetic, making the most of the region’s most ubiquitous timber source, Douglas fir, along with strategic placement of western red cedar and local willow, and a garden utilizing low-maintenance but also striking native-species.

Our upstairs casual room features a distinctive curved-wall balcony. From the foyer to the upper-level balconies, the home’s four-story form and views out toward the property create an ever-present connection to the outdoors.The Persian rug laying under the polished wood, glass-topped coffee table with gold accents enhance refined, formal aesthetic. The classical rolled arms and carved wood frame and Cabriole style legs gives the space a Traditional Neoclassical ambiance. “Every family deserves a home that reflects their dreams and their lifestyle. For us, that means listening, collaborating, and executing the finest craftsmanship at every step.” — TR Construction Group

This serene sage green kitchen, nestled in the Smoky Mountain valley, was thoughtfully redesigned for two passionate home chefs. With the removal of a dividing wall, the new open-concept layout prioritizes ergonomic flow and functionality. A two-tiered island (40" and 36" heights) offers comfort for both cooks, while a raised sink area hides a built-in step stool. Above, a watercolor-inspired sound baffle doubles as stylish task lighting. Highlights include custom ceramic cabinet pulls by a local artist, soft green cabinetry, and a calm, nature-inspired palette—creating a cozy, contemporary aesthetic with smart design at its core.

This urban townhouse took on new life when it was renovated for a couple relocating from New York City. The owner’s sophisticated taste, cultivated from world travels, paired with the character of the existing home and resulted in a fresh and colorful gem in the heart of the historic downtown. Extensive approvals from the local Historic District Commission preceded an addition on the rear of the time-honored building and a complete restoration of the exterior. The addition encompasses a first-floor, finished garage with arch doors that open to the gardens, ideal for entertaining. Above the garage accommodates the master bedroom, walk-in closets and a bathroom suite. The exterior restoration allowed the addition of window pediments, shutters with authentic hardware and gaslight features. Pocket gardens surround the townhouse and boast multiple plantings that complement a historic environment. The interior of the home was restructured to allow for reworking of the main stair. The reconfigured flight can now carry the weight of books and art alongside ascending residents and guests. Amid construction, two previously hidden fireplaces were uncovered. By the end of the renovation, four fireplaces were entirely refurbished and now lend immense aesthetic to interior design. The interior finishes within the home keep visitors engaged and impressed. From imported Italian tile to contextually historic light switches, the colorful décor is appealing to all senses. Specially painted walls coordinate with furnishings, bookcases and art.

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.

The new bathroom received the beautiful antique doors which are purely for aesthetics because as you can see they can still be seen through, this bathroom is in an interior bathroom, connected to a bedroom so once the bedroom door is shut no one walking by will inadvertently see more than they wanted to and my client gets her wish of fabulous antique sliding doors which we picked up at a local store. The client loves pattern and fell in love with this floor tile immediately when we went out on our first sourcing trip. The shower tile was picked for its movement and ability to work well with the patterned floor. We are still waiting on the shower wall installation. The Green walls/ceiling were suggested and approved as a calming color. We had three top contenders and ended up with wth this strong but gentle green color from Magnolia paint - Market Place was the color we ended up using.

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.

The landscape enhancements depicted in the photos showcase a beautifully designed entry garden that harmonizes with the surrounding Santa Fe mountainous setting. Generous, wide flagstone walkways create inviting access to the home, guiding visitors through the garden and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. Natural stone retaining walls add both structure and visual interest, helping to create terraced levels within the landscape while managing soil erosion and contributing to the earthy, rustic charm typical of Southwestern design. A thoughtfully designed natural style fountain serves as a focal point, providing a soothing sound of flowing water that enhances the tranquil atmosphere. The garden incorporates a variety of native and drought-tolerant plants, which thrive in the arid climate, conserving water while supporting local wildlife and adding vibrant color and texture. Overall, this elegant design functions as both an inviting entryway and an outdoor living area, encouraging outdoor enjoyment and making it a perfect space for relaxation and gatherings while seamlessly blending with the natural environment.

In this kitchen renovation, the aim was to revamp the space, making it not just functional, but stylish and inviting too. The decision to paint the walls predominantly white instantly promoted brightness and airiness into the room, setting the stage for a modern makeover. Knocking down the wall separating the kitchen from the family room added a touch of spaciousness and promoted seamless interaction between the two areas. Introducing a sleek floating island became the centerpiece, offering both practicality and a contemporary aesthetic. Upgrading to all new appliances ensured efficiency without sacrificing style. The end result? A chic, welcoming kitchen that's as perfect for cooking up a storm as it is for gathering with loved ones. In this extensive bathroom remodel, a once cluttered and cramped primary bathroom has been meticulously transformed into a spacious and bright oasis. By prioritizing additional storage and leveraging the existing skylight, the space underwent a remarkable renovation without the need for significant structural changes. The skylight was maximized to its full potential by surrounding it with pristine white walls, creating an airy and luminous atmosphere. The introduction of a luxurious marble shower not only adds a touch of sophistication but also contributes to the overall cleanliness and sophistication of the space. Soft gray cabinets and warm wood accents were strategically incorporated to create a bathroom with a serene and welcoming ambiance, evoking a sense of tranquility and comfort. Every detail was meticulously considered, from the placement of storage solutions to the selection of materials, ensuring that the remodeled bathroom exudes both functionality and elegance. The result is a blend of style and practicality, where every aspect of the design works in harmony to create a serene sanctuary where relaxation and rejuvenation are effortlessly embraced.

The owners requested a Private Resort that catered to their love for entertaining friends and family, a place where 2 people would feel just as comfortable as 42. Located on the western edge of a Wisconsin lake, the site provides a range of natural ecosystems from forest to prairie to water, allowing the building to have a more complex relationship with the lake - not merely creating large unencumbered views in that direction. The gently sloping site to the lake is atypical in many ways to most lakeside lots - as its main trajectory is not directly to the lake views - allowing for focus to be pushed in other directions such as a courtyard and into a nearby forest. The biggest challenge was accommodating the large scale gathering spaces, while not overwhelming the natural setting with a single massive structure. Our solution was found in breaking down the scale of the project into digestible pieces and organizing them in a Camp-like collection of elements: - Main Lodge: Providing the proper entry to the Camp and a Mess Hall - Bunk House: A communal sleeping area and social space. - Party Barn: An entertainment facility that opens directly on to a swimming pool & outdoor room. - Guest Cottages: A series of smaller guest quarters. - Private Quarters: The owners private space that directly links to the Main Lodge. These elements are joined by a series green roof connectors, that merge with the landscape and allow the out buildings to retain their own identity. This Camp feel was further magnified through the materiality - specifically the use of Doug Fir, creating a modern Northwoods setting that is warm and inviting. The use of local limestone and poured concrete walls ground the buildings to the sloping site and serve as a cradle for the wood volumes that rest gently on them. The connections between these materials provided an opportunity to add a delicate reading to the spaces and re-enforce the camp aesthetic. The oscillation between large communal spaces and private, intimate zones is explored on the interior and in the outdoor rooms. From the large courtyard to the private balcony - accommodating a variety of opportunities to engage the landscape was at the heart of the concept.
