Hallway wallpaper installation – Loomis, CA. A contemporary hallway in Loomis was given structure and motion with a vertical stripe wallpaper in cool tones. We installed it along a long corridor, aligning panels precisely between three doorways to maintain visual consistency and bring subtle rhythm to the space.

Consistent use of Connecticut stone ensures a cohesive feel and layers of plantings soften the hardscape and integrate the house into the land. Photo by Chris Major.

This bathroom renovation in University City showcases contemporary minimalism with warm, organic touches. The floating walnut vanity with horizontal veining offers ample storage while maintaining clean lines and is topped with white quartz and a sculptural sink. Brushed gold fixtures, from the elegant curved faucet to the rainfall shower system, provide a refined and cohesive finish. The space maximizes natural light thanks to strategically placed windows, while vertical white subway tiles create subtle texture on the accent wall. A frameless glass shower enclosure maintains a sense of spaciousness in the compact bathroom. Technical upgrades included complete plumbing replacement, waterproofing, and modern thermostatic shower controls for consistent temperature. The result is a serene, spa-like environment that balances contemporary style with everyday functionality, proving that thoughtful design doesn’t require excess.

Large retaining wall projects can require large staircases to move through the site fluidly. These steps maintain a consistent paving and walling material and allow access between the patio and the upper planting bed.

A planting bed and patio around the front entrance of this home required a retaining wall due to the sloping landscape around it. This also warranted multiple steps leading up to the entrance. The steps maintain a consistent paving material with the wall and patio.

This project involved the removal of an aging wood shower enclosure and surrounding fencing, which had begun to deteriorate and contribute to poor drainage conditions. The existing area retained moisture, creating a muddy, unstable surface that impacted both usability and long-term durability. The redesigned space introduces a fully upgraded outdoor shower system positioned discreetly behind a new white privacy enclosure. The structure was selected for its clean architectural lines, low-maintenance material, and ability to brighten and modernize the space while maintaining privacy. A primary focus of the project was drainage correction. The ground plane was regraded and rebuilt using a permeable system consisting of oversized stone slabs set within polished black river rock. This layout allows water to move efficiently through the surface while maintaining a stable, clean, and visually refined finish. The contrast between the large-format slabs and the dark stone creates a structured, intentional foundation that elevates the overall design. Planting was incorporated with both aesthetic and functional intent. Lavender was installed and trained along the enclosure to soften the structure and introduce seasonal fragrance. In addition to its visual contribution, it serves as a natural pest deterrent, helping to reduce mosquito activity and improve comfort within the space. Supporting plant material was kept minimal and scaled appropriately to maintain a clean, uncluttered environment. The result is a fully integrated outdoor feature that transforms a previously underperforming area into a functional, durable, and visually cohesive extension of the home. The space now supports consistent use while delivering a refined, spa-like experience aligned with the surrounding landscape.

Buckeye Basements with Team Member Columbus Custom Cabinets Delaware, Ohio The clients requested not only a remodeled basement featuring a guest bedroom and bathroom but, more importantly, a superb, temperature-controlled wine cellar to safely store 900 bottles. Every detail was meticulously planned, as maintaining a consistent temperature was essential for proper wine aging. The instrumental cooling system played a crucial role in the project’s design, ensuring optimal storage conditions. Each element was carefully considered to protect the integrity of the clients’ prized wine collection. Ultimately, the result was a spectacular space that not only preserves the collection but also serves as a celebration of fine wine.

Relocating the hallway for the kitchen redesign, required us to reimagine the rear entryway, mudroom, laundry room and pantries. We replaced dated travertine tile with the blonde maple floors to maintain consistency and connection. In the previous mudroom a bulkhead intersected the vaulted ceiling so we opted to remove it and open up the stair wall to create a brighter more welcoming entry. The mudroom cabinetry was designed with concealed storage in mind which helps keep this drop zone neat and tidy. A wood block benchtop complements the refinished maple floors and updated stair railings. In the adjacent laundry room, handcrafted tiles on the floor and backsplash infuse the space with charm.
