Initially designed as a bachelor's Sonoma weekend getaway, The Fan House features glass and steel garage-style doors that take advantage of the verdant 40-acre hilltop property. With the addition of a wife and children, the secondary residence's interiors needed to change. Ann Lowengart Interiors created a family-friendly environment while adhering to the homeowner's preference for streamlined silhouettes. In the open living-dining room, a neutral color palette and contemporary furnishings showcase the modern architecture and stunning views. A separate guest house provides a respite for visiting urban dwellers.

his interior design client reached out to me with her newly purchased home. After building trust and adhering to her two rules – can’t change the green paint color and no new furniture – we began with a mood board, bounced ideas off one another and ultimately created a dream space: Photos by: Brennan Wesley

The zero transition shower blends form with function. Teak bench seat folds down to give more access when needed. The universal design included placement of bars for easy transition to the bench seat as well as a hand held on a slide for easy use. Venetian Bronze grab bars add style and ensure there is no institutional look to the space. The Marazzi tile was continued into the shower to blend the spaces. Floor heat is included in all areas except the shower and along with strict energy code adherence make the space extremely energy efficient.

This project in Blue Bell involved a thorough renovation, including plumbing upgrades in multiple bathrooms and the addition of a tiki bar in the existing garage. We facilitated various plumbing installations, such as running gas pipes and adding an exterior faucet. Within the garage, we transformed spaces into a movie room, a powder room, and a tiki bar, complete with custom features like shelving and a gas fireplace. We also tackled flooring, doors, trim, and windows throughout the property, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic. Bathroom renovations included custom glass shower doors and unique design elements like cedar accents. Exterior improvements, such as door replacements and deck construction, were also part of our scope. Throughout the project, we adhered to building codes, completed necessary insulation and fireblocking, and applied paint according to the owner's preferences.

The walnut topped ledge behind the vanity serves a variety of purposes. It offers the opportunity not only to display decorative items but also to set essential bathroom items like toothbrushes, soaps, and tissues, keeping the counter top less cluttered. It also serves a more utilitarian purpose, as well. Plumbing can be run in the partial height wall, keeping it out of the exterior walls where pipes can freeze in the winter. And wall-mounted faucets can easily be mounted to the back splash, allowing for a clean, contemporary look that keeps the counter tops free and clean. In addition, a routed channel is recessed in the lip, allowing for a self-adhering LED strip light. Think of it as a night lite for grownups. Eric & Chelsea Eul Photogrpahy

The Twin Peaks Passive House + ADU was designed and built to remain resilient in the face of natural disasters. Fortunately, the same great building strategies and design that provide resilience also provide a home that is incredibly comfortable and healthy while also visually stunning. This home’s journey began with a desire to design and build a house that meets the rigorous standards of Passive House. Before beginning the design/ construction process, the homeowners had already spent countless hours researching ways to minimize their global climate change footprint. As with any Passive House, a large portion of this research was focused on building envelope design and construction. The wall assembly is combination of six inch Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs) and 2x6 stick frame construction filled with blown in insulation. The roof assembly is a combination of twelve inch SIPs and 2x12 stick frame construction filled with batt insulation. The pairing of SIPs and traditional stick framing allowed for easy air sealing details and a continuous thermal break between the panels and the wall framing. Beyond the building envelope, a number of other high performance strategies were used in constructing this home and ADU such as: battery storage of solar energy, ground source heat pump technology, Heat Recovery Ventilation, LED lighting, and heat pump water heating technology. In addition to the time and energy spent on reaching Passivhaus Standards, thoughtful design and carefully chosen interior finishes coalesce at the Twin Peaks Passive House + ADU into stunning interiors with modern farmhouse appeal. The result is a graceful combination of innovation, durability, and aesthetics that will last for a century to come. Despite the requirements of adhering to some of the most rigorous environmental standards in construction today, the homeowners chose to certify both their main home and their ADU to Passive House Standards. From a meticulously designed building envelope that tested at 0.62 ACH50, to the extensive solar array/ battery bank combination that allows designated circuits to function, uninterrupted for at least 48 hours, the Twin Peaks Passive House has a long list of high performance features that contributed to the completion of this arduous certification process. The ADU was also designed and built with these high standards in mind. Both homes have the same wall and roof assembly ,an HRV, and a Passive House Certified window and doors package. While the main home includes a ground source heat pump that warms both the radiant floors and domestic hot water tank, the more compact ADU is heated with a mini-split ductless heat pump. The end result is a home and ADU built to last, both of which are a testament to owners’ commitment to lessen their impact on the environment.

New "Illuminara" series glass blocks can combine metal in specialized patterns which is adhered to the surface of the glass blocks for a new decorative look. These blocks can then help to illuminate patterns through the glass blocks.
