Objective: The clients childhood memories of a home previously stayed in as a young girl played a vital role in the decision to totally transform a part of history into a modern retreat for this couple. Solution: Demo of every room began. One brick wall and center support wall stayed while everything else was demolished. We rearranged each room to create the perfect home for the soon to be retired couple. The clients love being outside which is the reasoning for all of large window and sliding doors which lead to the pool and manicured grounds. A new master suite was created, new guest room with ensuite bath, laundry room, small family room, oversized living room, dining room, kitchen, dish pantry, and powder bath were all totally reimagined to give this family everything they wanted. Furnishings brought from the previous home, revived heirlooms, and new pieces all combined to create this modern, yet warm inviting home. In the powder bath a classic pedestal sink, marble mosaic floors, and simple baseboards were the perfect pairing for this dramatic wallpaper. After construction, a vintage art piece was revived from storage to become the perfect juxtaposed piece to complete the powder bath. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with clean lined cabinets, white quartz countertops and plenty of seating for casual eating.

Inspired by the surrounding landscape, the Craftsman/Prairie style is one of the few truly American architectural styles. It was developed around the turn of the century by a group of Midwestern architects and continues to be among the most comfortable of all American-designed architecture more than a century later, one of the main reasons it continues to attract architects and homeowners today. Oxbridge builds on that solid reputation, drawing from Craftsman/Prairie and classic Farmhouse styles. Its handsome Shingle-clad exterior includes interesting pitched rooflines, alternating rows of cedar shake siding, stone accents in the foundation and chimney and distinctive decorative brackets. Repeating triple windows add interest to the exterior while keeping interior spaces open and bright. Inside, the floor plan is equally impressive. Columns on the porch and a custom entry door with sidelights and decorative glass leads into a spacious 2,900-square-foot main floor, including a 19 by 24-foot living room with a period-inspired built-ins and a natural fireplace. While inspired by the past, the home lives for the present, with open rooms and plenty of storage throughout. Also included is a 27-foot-wide family-style kitchen with a large island and eat-in dining and a nearby dining room with a beadboard ceiling that leads out onto a relaxing 240-square-foot screen porch that takes full advantage of the nearby outdoors and a private 16 by 20-foot master suite with a sloped ceiling and relaxing personal sitting area. The first floor also includes a large walk-in closet, a home management area and pantry to help you stay organized and a first-floor laundry area. Upstairs, another 1,500 square feet awaits, with a built-ins and a window seat at the top of the stairs that nod to the home’s historic inspiration. Opt for three family bedrooms or use one of the three as a yoga room; the upper level also includes attic access, which offers another 500 square feet, perfect for crafts or a playroom. More space awaits in the lower level, where another 1,500 square feet (and an additional 1,000) include a recreation/family room with nine-foot ceilings, a wine cellar and home office.

This large guest bedroom suite showcases the not so subtle differences between clutter and collection. After sitting in boxes for years, a lifetime of sports memorabilia are utilized to give this wonderful room a story to tell. We designed custom built-in cabinetry to display the amazing treasures of authentic steins and family photos amongst sports nostalgia, books, trophies, autographed caps, bats and balls. This "man cave" living space fits perfectly into this contemporary home and gives our client reason to smile. As you can see, the entry, formal dining room, wet bar, and master bedroom also share an intentional and tailored design aesthetic. The design trick is not to "over-decorate" and edit your collection so that it does not overwhelm the space. Our client told us "your team should be very proud of the incredible home that you created for this old sports fan. Thank you for making it all happen."

Complete Master bathroom makeover with seamless drainage, and not even the need for a sower enclosure! This bathroom needed a complete make over. It had a large time worn bathtub that was not being used and was taking up a lot of space. There was a need for a larger shower space and having other bathtubs in the house; the decision to eliminate the bathtub was a starting point for the remodeling of this luxurious comfort bathroom. The vanity was custom designed and wood crafted with a walnut impermeable imported veneer. The drawers have subdivisions for custom jewelry and small items to be adequately stored. The plumbing area under the sink is disguised as drawers, but it is in reality an interior open space freely accessible in case of pipe maintenance. It can still accommodate extra towels. The plumbing that goes under the sink was the main reason to avoid a second basin. No matter how you work around it; plumbing always take precious storage space away or may have to be exposed, which was not a desirable solution for this job. The wall covered in mother pearl mosaic was brought out to shelter the mirror cabinets which are deep and provides with lots of good storage. Also provided and indirect led lighting and interesting design.

In Hawaii, people cry “E ala!” to wake each other. After your first night in Hästens Eala, you may well understand the reasoning behind the choice of names. This is a bed created to make you more alert, more patient – even, dare we say it, friendlier – each moment you are not in it. It’s the extra layers in Hästens Eala that make for such extraordinary sleep. Layer upon layer upon layer of horsetail hair, wool, cotton and flax are masterly handcrafted to create the optimum environment for restful nights. And even more awakened days. These natural fibers absorb the moisture your body produces during the night, transporting it away through the sides of the bed. At the same time, fresh air circulates freely around your body. Two spring systems, featuring flax-reinforced corners, complete the comfort experience. The objective behind this meticulous method? To provide every last part of your body with precisely the support it longs for.

Five stars isn’t enough! Our project was to reconfigure and update the main floor of a house we recently purchased that was built in 1961. We wanted to maintain some of the unique feeling it originally had but bring it up-to-date and eliminate the closed-in rooms and downright weird layout that was the result of multiple, partial remodeling projects. We began with a long wishlist of changes which also required replacement of very antiquated plumbing, electrical wiring and HVAC. We even found a fireplace that had been walled in and needed major re-construction. Many other aspects and details on this incredible list we made included an all new kitchen layout, converting a bedroom into a master closet, adding new half-bath, completely rebuilding the master bath, and adding stone, tile and custom built cabinetry. Our design plans included many fixtures and details that we specified and required professional installation and careful handling. Innovative helped us make reasonable decisions. Their skilled staff took us through a design process that made sense. There were many questions and all were answered with sincere conversation and positive – innovation – on how we could achieve our goals. Innovative provided us with professional consultants, who listened and were courteous and creative, with solid knowledge and informative judgement. When they didn’t have an answer, they did the research. They developed a comprehensive project plan that exceeded our expectations. Every item on our long list was checked-off. All agreed on work was fulfilled and they completed all this in just under four months. Innovative took care of putting together a team of skilled professional specialists who were all dedicated to make everything right. Engineering, construction, supervision, and I cannot even begin to describe how much thanks we have for the demolition crew! Our multiple, detailed project designs from Raul and professional design advice from Mindy and the connections she recommended are all of the best quality. Diego Jr., Trevor and his team kept everything on track and neat and tidy every single day and Diego Sr., Mark, Ismael, Albert, Santiago and team are true craftsmen who follow-up and make the most minuscule woodworking details perfect. The cabinets by Tim and electrical work and installation of fixtures by Kemchan Harrilal-BB and Navindra Doolratram, and Augustine and his crew on tile and stone work – all perfection. Aisling and the office crew were always responsive to our calls and requests. And of course Clark and Eric who oversaw everything and gave us the best of the best! Apologies if we didn’t get everyone on this list – you’re all great! Thank you for your hard work and dedication. We can’t thank you enough Innovative Construction – we kind of want to do it again!

The French Villa master bathroom blends refined luxury with thoughtful detailing. A white marble fireplace sits parallel to the freestanding tub, creating a serene focal point. Marble flooring, mosaic floor tile, and honed marble surfaces are accented with soft gray tones. At the far end, a glass walk-in shower with marble tile showcases a sophisticated shower design. Arched doorways, arched walkways, and detailed molding & millwork highlight the architectural charm. Built-in shelving, custom cabinets, and mullion glass cabinetry provide functional storage. Finished with marble countertops, pendant lighting, statement lighting, and abstract wall art, this white bathroom reflects the elevated design Fratantoni is known for.
