Home is about creating a sense of place. Little moments add up to a sense of well being, such as looking out at framed views of the garden, or feeling the ocean breeze waft through the house. This connection to place guided the overall design, with the practical requirements to add a bedroom and bathroom quickly ( the client was pregnant!), and in a way that allowed the couple to live at home during the construction. The design also focused on connecting the interior to the backyard while maintaining privacy from nearby neighbors. Sustainability was at the forefront of the project, from choosing green building materials to designing a high-efficiency space. The composite bamboo decking, cork and bamboo flooring, tiles made with recycled content, and cladding made of recycled paper are all examples of durable green materials that have a wonderfully rich tactility to them. This addition was a second phase to the Mar Vista Sustainable Remodel, which took a tear-down home and transformed it into this family's forever home.

Hayden Estate Spa: Kohler Luxury & Artisan Knotty Alder Finishes In this Hayden, Idaho, residence, we balanced a high-tech hydrotherapy suite with a sophisticated bathing sanctuary. This view highlights the transition from the active steam zone to a tranquil soaking area, utilizing a curated palette of natural wood, Italian stone, and professional-grade Kohler plumbing fixtures. Refined Design & Technical Features: Kohler Air Therapy Suite: The centerpiece of the relaxation zone is a Kohler air tub, providing a gentle, effervescent massage. We paired the tub with a precision Kohler floor-mounted tub filler, creating a sleek, sculptural silhouette against the expansive view of the Idaho landscape. Artisan Knotty Alder Woodwork: The cabinetry and architectural trim feature hand-selected Knotty Alder wood with a traditional Shaker-style door detail. This choice brings a warm, organic texture to the room, grounding the modern technology in a classic "Mountain Modern" aesthetic. Italian Porcelain Foundation: The entire space is unified by large-format Italian porcelain body tile. To ensure year-round comfort, we installed a thermostat-controlled radiant heating system beneath the tile, providing a consistent, inviting warmth throughout the en-suite. Precision Task Lighting: The freestanding vanity is anchored by a high-definition LED-lit mirror, offering shadow-free illumination that is essential for both functionality and modern ambiance. Seamless Material Flow: The transition from the wainscot tile to the custom wood casings demonstrates our commitment to precision framing and finish work, ensuring that every material intersection is clean and intentional.

This transitional kitchen remodel was designed to bring brightness, functionality, and a touch of modern charm into a once dated space. The homeowner envisioned a layout that felt more open and welcoming — a space that could accommodate both daily routines and special moments around the table. With a refined two-tone cabinetry scheme, soft pink walls, and brushed gold hardware, the kitchen now balances warmth and elegance. The shaker-style cabinets in muted teal offer plenty of storage while maintaining a classic look, and the white quartz countertops reflect natural light beautifully. Textured white backsplash tile adds depth and visual interest, and the under-cabinet lighting enhances both form and function. This remodel focused on optimizing flow and maximizing utility without sacrificing style. The result is a kitchen that feels custom, fresh, and filled with personality — exactly what the client had envisioned.

The brief was to create a Classic Contemporary Ensuite and Principle bedroom which would be home to a number of Antique furniture items, a traditional fireplace and Classical artwork. We created key zones within the bathroom to make sufficient use of the large space; providing a large walk-in wet-floor shower, a concealed WC area, a free-standing bath as the central focus in symmetry with his and hers free-standing basins. We ensured a more than adequate level of storage through the vanity unit, 2 bespoke cabinets next to the window and above the toilet cistern as well as plenty of ledge spaces to rest decorative objects and bottles. We provided a number of task, accent and ambient lighting solutions whilst also ensuring the natural lighting reaches as much of the room as possible through our design. Our installation detailing was delivered to a very high level to compliment the level of product and design requirements.

This bathroom was designed as a surprise for my client's parent! An amazing and thoughtful gift anyone would be so happy to come home to. Function was our main focus in this design. We removed the large garden tub to accommodate a larger shower with a standing shower with body sprays and on the other end a seated area with a handheld shower wand for flexible shower options. Since function was so key in this master bath, we put an ample amount of shower niches in both showering areas for all the body products you could need at your fingertips. The previous window was too large and clear glass that gave no privacy so we replaced the window to give some privacy and added a frosted window for even more privacy. This allowed us to install decorative grab bars for safety without sacrificing style. A barrier free shower entrance creates an easy way to get in and out without the need for a shower door. A timeless design with some french style accents in a neutral color palette round out this bathroom. The shower floor tile give is some pattern to complement the white wall tile. Accent wall behind the vanity for some texture and pattern as well as keeping water from being splashed onto the drywall. For the main bathroom floor we went with a large 24" square rectified porcelain tile to give the look of a natural stone with a little variation for a natural look but much lower maintenance than natural stone. To top off the vanity, bench seat, sills and pony walls we did a warm grey and white quartz for a nice overall pattern, again something to keep with a more timeless look. This was a great project and such a great improvement not only to the house but to the daily life of the user!

Our focus on this project in Black Mountain North Carolina was to create a warm, comfortable mountain retreat that had ample room for our clients and their guests. 4 Large decks off all the bedroom suites were essential to capture the spectacular views in this private mountain setting. Elevator, Golf Room and an Outdoor Kitchen are only a few of the special amenities that were incorporated in this custom craftsman home.
