(Written by David Mallin, the father of Natanya in who's memory this structure was designed and built.) This is a sandstone and marble sound chamber for use as a communication portal. Located at the Lion's Den Park, overlooking the Animas River Valley, in Durango, Colorado. Dry stack wall construction by Jon Aguilar and Matt Norton. Kiva design, totem carvings, floor design and construction by sculptor, David Mallin. The kiva is a gift to the city of Durango from the Natanya Joy Fund and the Mallin family. It is a memorial tribute to Natanya Joy Mallin Jameson who died on Valentine's Day, 2014, at age 27. Many compassionate and generous donors in Durango and beyond contributed to the fund to help Natty Joy get alternative medical care for a rare aggressive cancer. She died before she could use much of the fund. Those funds purchased the stone and the master masons' labor and expertise. Many of Natty Joy's 'peeps' helped all the way through the project. Completed October 2016.

This was a unique custom build for our team. The homeowners purchased this property with a home on site with the hopes of remodeling. After the initial meeting with our contractor to discuss their vision, goals, and options it was determined that the best option was to remove the existing home and opt for a new custom home. The homeowners can now enjoy the home of their dreams, and it turned out beautifully. Beautiful open floor plan with a soft color palette for all to enjoy when entering this gorgeous home. The colors are very relaxing as well as calming to not only those who reside within these walls, but to all those who come to visit. Philip Slowiak Photography

The clients wanted to brighten up a hallway and add a bedroom as a welcoming oasis for out-of-town guests. For the dark hallway leading to the room, we had a tubular skylight installed for natural light, designed new wainscotting for the walls, designed the custom arched door and added shiplap on the ceiling. For the adjacent master bedroom, we created a hidden door for a walk-in closet in the hallway. In the guest room we integrated a French style vibe, recommended an oiled oak floor, a bright but serene colour palette and the country-style furniture was painted ivory with an antiqued aged finish. We assisted the client in purchasing new furniture, accessories and design elements creating an uncluttered but warm environment for friends and family to enjoy. Materials used: Shiplap, tubular skylight, Sherwin Williams paint, oiled white oak wood heated floor, painted antique furniture, white wool shag rug, re-upholstered chair with green fabric.

Bathroom was designed around some existing items, such as, the countertop with the vessel sinks, mirrors and window curtains. The window curtain material was bought in 1985 and they were made to fit a French door with ties in the middle. This was when I was fabricating window treatments for a living, 'Indoor Concepts'. These curtains are a sentimental piece and the fabric is not available anymore. The curtain is the only piece that breaks up the cold greys and blacks with the pink/lavender flowers and teal leaves. The white dots on black contrasting the geometric accent tile accentuates both the masculine and feminine side of this Master Bath. We purchased coral and grey/brown towels to bring out the cheerful colors in the bathroom.

After purchasing their ideal ranch style home built in the ‘70s, our clients had requested some major updates and needs throughout the house. The couple loved to cook and desired a large kitchen with professional appliances and a space that connects with the family room for ultimate entertaining. The husband wanted a retreat of his own with office space and a separate bathroom. Both clients disliked the ‘70s aesthetic of their outdated master suite and agreed that too would need a complete update. The JRP Team focused on the strategic removal of several walls between the entrance, living room, and kitchen to establish a new balance by creating an open floor plan that embraces the natural flow of the home. The luxurious kitchen turned out to be the highlight of the home with beautifully curated materials and double islands. The expanded master bedroom creates space for a relocated and enlarged master bath with walk-in closet. Adding new four panel doors to the backyard of the master suite anchors the room, filling the space with natural light. A large addition was necessary to accommodate the "Man Cave" which provides an exclusive retreat complete with wet bar– perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The remodel took a dated, choppy and disconnected floor plan to a bespoke haven sparkling with natural light and gorgeous finishes. PROJECT DETAILS: • Style: Traditional • Countertops: Quartzite - White Pearl (Cloudy) • Cabinets: Dewils, Lakewood (Frameless), Maple, Just White / Brittany Blue / Shadow Gray • Hardware/Plumbing Fixture Finish: Polished Chrome • Lighting Fixtures: Chandeliers • Flooring: White Oak – Galleher, Limestone / Brushed • Tile/Backsplash: Ceramic – Emser, Craft, Garft Gray in Gloss • Paint Color: Perspective • Other Details: Pot Filler / Coffered Ceiling & Fireplace in Dining Room • Photographer: J.R.

When our clients purchased their home on Lake Beulah near East Troy, they knew they wanted to make changes. The home had a mixed architectural style – rustic on the outside but traditional inside. Major renovations to the home focused on three main areas – the living room, the dining room and the master bedroom. Walls were removed to open up and better unify the living room and kitchen spaces. One window in the living room became nearly a wall of windows to allow for better views of the lake, and two skylights added more natural light. In addition, all the cherry stained millwork, baseboards and window trim on the first floor were painted. Carpenters installed wood ceilings and stained the new posts and beam structures. Doors, window sills and seats also received fresh stain. To add to the rustic interior, we focused on details such as the laundry room door just off the kitchen. There a rustic, wooden sliding barn door became and interesting focal point.

Our objective in this home remodeling project was to transform our clients’ newly purchased Studio City cape cod style house into an aesthetically beautiful yet functional residence, that they could use for everyday living as well as entertaining friends and family. Our clients loved the original exterior design but wanted an almost entirely changed interior and backyard. We worked with them through the initial stages of design and material selection to ensure that we understand their vision. We integrated elements of contemporary and farmhouse designs throughout the interior. We created an open floor plan with a lot of natural light making a spacious, bright and connected space. We did this through some structural changes and the addition of glass sliding doors and windows. The open floor plan combined with the fully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, new flooring, plenty of recessed lighting, and many other details managed to literally amaze our clients. We also created a master suite by expanding the master bathroom and constructing a walk-in closet. A new bathroom addition as well as a new pool house along with a new pool and spa were the other parts of this home remodeling project. The new pool and pool house along with a simple yet beautiful landscaping gave the backyard a whole new look. The roof, the HVAC system as well as all doors and windows were replaced. The garage was remodeled and the door replaced. This was a truly beautiful home remodeling at its best by Ava Homes.

Our clients purchased this 1950 ranch style cottage knowing it needed to be updated. They fell in love with the location, being within walking distance to White Rock Lake. They wanted to redesign the layout of the house to improve the flow and function of the spaces while maintaining a cozy feel. They wanted to explore the idea of opening up the kitchen and possibly even relocating it. A laundry room and mudroom space needed to be added to that space, as well. Both bathrooms needed a complete update and they wanted to enlarge the master bath if possible, to have a double vanity and more efficient storage. With two small boys and one on the way, they ideally wanted to add a 3rd bedroom to the house within the existing footprint but were open to possibly designing an addition, if that wasn’t possible. In the end, we gave them everything they wanted, without having to put an addition on to the home. They absolutely love the openness of their new kitchen and living spaces and we even added a small bar! They have their much-needed laundry room and mudroom off the back patio, so their “drop zone” is out of the way. We were able to add storage and double vanity to the master bathroom by enclosing what used to be a coat closet near the entryway and using that sq. ft. in the bathroom. The functionality of this house has completely changed and has definitely changed the lives of our clients for the better!
