This Master Suite Addition project was initiated by our Clients’ desire to stay in their family home well into their golden years. Their wish list included a master suite and large open space for entertaining. With “Aging in Place” a main objective, our goal was to move all essential tasks to the first floor. Our design created a smooth transition between old house and new by expanding their dining room and adding a vestibule between the two spaces. This resulted in a much larger dining space and the larger entertaining area they were seeking. The master bedroom’s floor to ceiling windows on two of the walls frames picturesque views of their beloved garden outside. Vaulted ceilings, French doors to the bathroom with a transom window above express class and grandeur. Through the French doors the elegant master bathroom shines with reflections from the decorative crystal chandelier, white and grey tile, polished chrome fixtures and lighted glass bowls. A double headed shower, with dual temperature controls, and the air-jetted tub provide a true sanctuary for a relaxed bathing experience. “His and Her” elements are also fulfilled with dual vanities, and dual toilet areas. Upon completion, the homeowners passionately stated that this project turned out even better than they could have imagined. They truly love their new space in their long loved home and look forward to many more years in their new haven.

Hammer & Hand collaborated with Ashton Ford Design & Armin Quilici to give this Laurelhurst home in Portland, Oregon a big refresh. The team replaced finishes throughout the entire home, but the majority of the work took place in the kitchen and master bathroom. The kitchen was gutted and received all new appliances and finishes – including walnut cabinetry, white quartz countertops, and porcelain backsplash tile. The master bathroom has all new black walnut cabinetry, his and hers sinks, and black metal fixtures and accent lighting. The team also refinished an existing cedar accent wall, bringing out its natural beauty. Another stand out feature of the remodel was the new staircase with oak stair treads, painted black aluminum handrail, and stainless steel air craft cables.

The Glo A5 window series was selected for the home for the high-performance values offered in clean, minimal frame profiles. Excellent energy efficiency and the durability to last the lifetime of the building are imperceptible bonuses for the expansive floor-to ceiling windows, large sliding glass and swing doors. A larger continuous thermal break and multiple air seals reduce both condensation and heat convection while ensuring noteworthy comfort in a climate that swings from sweltering heat in the summer to frigid weather in the winter. The A5 series ensures continual coziness and contentment without sacrificing the posh design of the home.

Another fun Crestview project! This young couple wanted a back yard that reflected their bohemian-eclectic style and could add additional privacy from the ever climbing construction around them. A place for “hanging out and drinking coffee or beer in the backyard.” But what was most exciting, was the air stream they had just purchased and were in the process of restoring. With the end goal of using it as a guest home for family and friends, we were challenged with creating a space that was cohesive and connected this new living space with the rest of the yard. In the front we had another quark to fix. The sidewalk from their front door to the street suddenly stopped 5 feet from the curb, making a less than inviting entry for guests. So, creating a new usable entryway with additional curb appeal was a top priority. We managed the entertainment space by using modern poured concrete pad’s as a focal. A poured concrete wall serves as a bench as well as creates a visual anchor for the patio area. To soften the hard materials, small plantings of succulents and ground cover were planted in the spaces between the pads. For a backdrop, a custom Cedar Plank wall and trellis combined to soften the vertical space and add plenty of privacy. The trellis is anchored by a Coral Vine to add interest. Cafe style lighting was strung across the area create a sense of intimacy. We also completed the fence transition, and eliminated the grass areas that were not being utilized to reduce the amount of water waste in the landscape, and replaced these areas with beneficial plantings for the wildlife. Overall, this landscape was completed with a cohesive Austin-friendly design in mind for these busy young professionals! Caleb Kerr - http://www.calebkerr.com

Transformation of a Blank Wall: The view from the Master Bedroom is peaceful yet engaging, expanding the interior space. The tracery of vines creates a textural background for attaching a wide variety of orchids and air plants. Each plant was brought in from the client's former residence or 'adopted' from friends who were moving. Other found objects such as the driftwood and garden fairies have been given new homes in the tableau.

The interior has large Marvin windows with expansive views of the lake, walnut floors, extensive wood detailing in the custom cabinets, wainscot, beamed ceilings, and fireplace. Step out of the kitchen to a covered out door porch with phantom screens overlooking the lake. The master bedroom has a large private roof deck overlooking the lake as well. There is a private master bonus room accessed through the master closet. The four levels of the home are accessible by an elevator. The working butler’s pantry, which is accessible by both sides of the kitchen has a secondary sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, lots of storage, and yes windows for natural light, views of the lake, and air flow.
