The innovative design approach carries on to the master bed-suite, focusing on comfort and creating an abundant space. An assorted mood board of a dark veneer, monotonous upholstery with PVC paneling generates a rich, picturesque vibe. Sleek nightstand stools and a black glass closet add a sense of depth to the space. Copper-plated pendants, magnetic tracks, and shear wall treatments to welcome the natural sun sum up the design efficiency in terms of lighting. While the usual trend of the colour plus console for the television wall remains, this master bedroom separates itself from the bathroom through some #GreensInsideGlass. With meticulous research and contributions from a horticulture specialist, a translucent glass box with planters acts as the partition wall within this master bed-suite. This impactful touch of nature brings positivity and calmness to the entire room.

These McLean homeowners loved their home, which they purchased several years ago, for its location and community feel. However, they knew that the blocky design of the main floor and outdated master bathroom were not to their liking nor their style. MOSS worked with them to create a large, open kitchen with a cozy dining nook that opened to the beautiful, bright family room, eliminating unnecessary walls, and to update the master bathroom to a more modern aesthetic with deep soaking tub, large walk-in shower, and matching vanities. Knowing they wanted to keep a modern “vibe”, MOSS focused on helping our customers choose the aesthetics, including paint color they chose, for the entire house, giving them a flow and feel that created the ambiance they longed for.

This 1980’s Preston Hollow home was remodeled and furnished, keeping transitional design fresh in the living spaces, with some refined rustic elements in the master suite. The natural elements of the outdoors were incorporated in the home’s art and accessories in the main living spaces and foyer. The master suite takes a bit of a Ralph Lauren feel with the herringbone grass cloth on the walls, masculine bedding fabrics and classic floral patterned window treatment fabrics. Apple greens juxtapose some brick reds to make a color statement while keeping the focus on the room’s textures. The master suite was designed to feel like an organic spa. The bathtub boasts a chromotherapy feature using color to adorn the water as bathers soak. A unique blend of stone and glass materials was chosen to ensure a cohesive flow from the master suite to the bath.

Hammer & Hand collaborated with Celeste Lewis Architecture on the remodel of this gem of Mid-Century Modern architecture. Originally built for the owner of the View-Master toy factory, the house had been cut up by a series of remodels in the mid-1990s. Our remodel focused on restoring the home’s mid-century elegance, improving circulation and views, and adding space for guests and home office. Photography by Sally Painter Photography.

Bedroom - large contemporary master carpeted and beige floor bedroom idea in Phoenix with blue walls and no fireplace

This primary Bedroom is surrounded by a deep blue ink colored wallpaper paired with a neutral bed + bedding to give a moment for the striped rug to focus the room.

Immersed in the challenge of refining a builder-grade master bathroom, my focus on minimalism and serenity became paramount. Every design decision was a brushstroke, aimed at elevating the space into a spa-like retreat that transcends the ordinary. With meticulous attention, neutral tones, clean lines, and purposeful design choices converged to redefine the essence of this intimate haven. The project unfolded as a dialogue between the serene waterfront surroundings and the nuances of minimalist aesthetics. The result is a harmonious union, where the bathroom embodies the ethos of a spa-like sanctuary. It stands as a testament to the transformative power of thoughtful design choices, turning a builder-grade space into a canvas of tranquility on the waterfront.

The footprint of this bathroom remained true to its original form. Our clients wanted to add more storage opportunities so customized cabinetry solutions were added. Finishes were updated with a focus on staying true to the original craftsman aesthetic of this Sears Kit Home. This pull and replace bathroom remodel was designed and built by Meadowlark Design + Build in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Photography by Sean Carter.

Photo credit: Scott McDonald @ Hedrich Blessing 7RR-Ecohome: The design objective was to build a house for a couple recently married who both had kids from previous marriages. How to bridge two families together? The design looks forward in terms of how people live today. The home is an experiment in transparency and solid form; removing borders and edges from outside to inside the house, and to really depict “flowing and endless space”. The house floor plan is derived by pushing and pulling the house’s form to maximize the backyard and minimize the public front yard while welcoming the sun in key rooms by rotating the house 45-degrees to true north. The angular form of the house is a result of the family’s program, the zoning rules, the lot’s attributes, and the sun’s path. We wanted to construct a house that is smart and efficient in terms of construction and energy, both in terms of the building and the user. We could tell a story of how the house is built in terms of the constructability, structure and enclosure, with a nod to Japanese wood construction in the method in which the siding is installed and the exposed interior beams are placed in the double height space. We engineered the house to be smart which not only looks modern but acts modern; every aspect of user control is simplified to a digital touch button, whether lights, shades, blinds, HVAC, communication, audio, video, or security. We developed a planning module based on a 6-foot square room size and a 6-foot wide connector called an interstitial space for hallways, bathrooms, stairs and mechanical, which keeps the rooms pure and uncluttered. The house is 6,200 SF of livable space, plus garage and basement gallery for a total of 9,200 SF. A large formal foyer celebrates the entry and opens up to the living, dining, kitchen and family rooms all focused on the rear garden. The east side of the second floor is the Master wing and a center bridge connects it to the kid’s wing on the west. Second floor terraces and sunscreens provide views and shade in this suburban setting. The playful mathematical grid of the house in the x, y and z axis also extends into the layout of the trees and hard-scapes, all centered on a suburban one-acre lot. Many green attributes were designed into the home; Ipe wood sunscreens and window shades block out unwanted solar gain in summer, but allow winter sun in. Patio door and operable windows provide ample opportunity for natural ventilation throughout the open floor plan. Minimal windows on east and west sides to reduce heat loss in winter and unwanted gains in summer. Open floor plan and large window expanse reduces lighting demands and maximizes available daylight. Skylights provide natural light to the basement rooms. Durable, low-maintenance exterior materials include stone, ipe wood siding and decking, and concrete roof pavers. Design is based on a 2' planning grid to minimize construction waste. Basement foundation walls and slab are highly insulated. FSC-certified walnut wood flooring was used. Light colored concrete roof pavers to reduce cooling loads by as much as 15%. 2x6 framing allows for more insulation and energy savings. Super efficient windows have low-E argon gas filled units, and thermally insulated aluminum frames. Permeable brick and stone pavers reduce the site’s storm-water runoff. Countertops use recycled composite materials. Energy-Star rated furnaces and smart thermostats are located throughout the house to minimize duct runs and avoid energy loss. Energy-Star rated boiler that heats up both radiant floors and domestic hot water. Low-flow toilets and plumbing fixtures are used to conserve water usage. No VOC finish options and direct venting fireplaces maintain a high interior air quality. Smart home system controls lighting, HVAC, and shades to better manage energy use. Plumbing runs through interior walls reducing possibilities of heat loss and freezing problems. A large food pantry was placed next to kitchen to reduce trips to the grocery store. Home office reduces need for automobile transit and associated CO2 footprint. Plan allows for aging in place, with guest suite than can become the master suite, with no need to move as family members mature.

Complete Kitchen & Bathroom Renovation
Minimalist bathroom photo in New York

Our homeowner approached us first in order to remodel her master suite. Her shower was leaking and she wanted to turn 2 separate closets into one enviable walk in closet. This homeowners projects have been completed in multiple phases. The second phase was focused on the kitchen, laundry room and converting the dining room to an office. View before and after images of the project here: http://www.houzz.com/discussions/4412085/m=23/dining-room-turned-office-in-los-angeles-ca https://www.houzz.com/discussions/4425079/m=23/laundry-room-refresh-in-la https://www.houzz.com/discussions/4440223/m=23/banquette-driven-kitchen-remodel-in-la We feel fortunate that she has such great taste and furnished her home so well! Bedroom: The art on the wall is a piece that the homeowner brought back from a trip to France. The room feels luxe and romantic. Walk in Closet: The walk in closet features built in cabinetry including glass doored cabinets. It offer shoe storage, purse storage and even linens. The walk in closet has recessed lighting. Master Bathroom: The master bathroom offers a make-up desk and plenty of lights and mirrors! Utilizing both pendant and recessed lighting, the bathroom feels bright and white even though it is a combination of white and beige. The white shaker cabinets are contrasted by a dark granite countertop. Favoring a large shower over a tub we were able to include a large niche for storage. The tile and floor are both limestone.
