Our clients already had a cottage on Torch Lake that they loved to visit. It was a 1960s ranch that worked just fine for their needs. However, the lower level walkout became entirely unusable due to water issues. After purchasing the lot next door, they hired us to design a new cottage. Our first task was to situate the home in the center of the two parcels to maximize the view of the lake while also accommodating a yard area. Our second task was to take particular care to divert any future water issues. We took necessary precautions with design specifications to water proof properly, establish foundation and landscape drain tiles / stones, set the proper elevation of the home per ground water height and direct the water flow around the home from natural grade / drive. Our final task was to make appealing, comfortable, living spaces with future planning at the forefront. An example of this planning is placing a master suite on both the main level and the upper level. The ultimate goal of this home is for it to one day be at least a 3/4 of the year home and designed to be a multi-generational heirloom. - Jacqueline Southby Photography

Craig Thompson Photography NKBA 1st Place Winner in Large Bath Category Lead Designer: Emily Miller, CKD Co-Designer: Tommy Trzcinski A make-up table was partially recessed into the wall between the Master Bedroom and Bathroom to allow proper walk space. The custom grommet in the wood top allows easy access to a concealed outlet in the knee space for the owner’s lighted makeup mirror. The use of another Docking Drawer concealed the power outlets in drawers to keep the top and walls free of clutter.

Installation of a new toilet flange and water supply connections to ensure proper plumbing function and a secure installation. All connections were carefully installed and tested to provide reliable performance and prepare the bathroom for final fixture installation.

Installation of a new subfloor to replace the damaged existing material and provide a strong, stable, and level foundation for the new flooring. The subfloor was properly secured and prepared to ensure long-term durability and a quality finish for the bathroom renovation.

Plumbing and Ceiling Repair Due to a plumbing failure, water damage occurred to the ceiling on the first floor. Our team repaired the damaged plumbing system and restored the affected ceiling area, ensuring proper functionality and a clean, finished appearance.

Inspiration for a transitional bedroom remodel in Austin

Tamma & Holger wanted to update their master bathroom and the elements in two other bathrooms of their home. In the master bathroom they wanted to remove the odd shaped shower, the vanity was large, but the storage capacity was not designed properly. Overall, they wanted a fresh and clean bathroom to meet their needs. The new vanity offers larger drawers and better space capacity. By using the inverted sink base cabinet here, we now have a larger drawer for larger hair appliances and less hiding places for products. Colonial White Granite countertops were selected for this project which ties the existing flooring to the new shower walls. Each bathroom features a vessel sink and faucet. The master features a bronze rectangular sink, and the two other bathrooms are from Kohler. The sink is called Vox Oval. In the master shower, we installed a 12X24 Porcelain tile called Tivoli Beige and inlayed a pebble mosaic as a decorative band, niche feature and shower flooring. We also used the shower wall tile around the existing tub in the master bathroom.

The Countryside Residence has received many updates over the past few years, but unfortunately the bathrooms had been left behind because of the limited seen possibilities. The design team took on the challenge of converting two underutilized and outdated bathrooms and reimagined them into eclectic spaces that do not shy away from being bold and vibrant. Though darker shades of wallpaper were used, the spaces feel larger than before. This is due to the relocation of the demising wall between the guest and primary bath along with the use of proper artificial lighting. Reimagining cramped spaces with bold design allowed the bathrooms to feel larger than life.
