This client wanted to experience Santa Fe in Sierra Madre. Challenges were the steep hillside lot, great views, fire concerns and narrow car access. We created a rustic home with a low profile, lush surroundings and an air of quiet tranquility. This rustic southwestern house uses reclaimed vegas and logs for the structural system and asphalt emulsion mud adobe walls for the finish. The house is like an adobe village separated into four structures connected by verandas, courtyards and log bridges.

For this roofing project, we installed a mixture of Estate Grey shingles and Slate Grey metal roofing in Churchville, PA. The maximized performance comes from the added OC Synthetic ProArmor Underlayment and OC Weatherlock ProGrade Ice and Water Leak Barrier. This home had problems with leaky shingles in the past and wanted all the protection they could get from future damage.

This is an example of a traditional backyard stone garden path in New York for summer.

A distinctive standing-seam metal roof creates an architectural connection between two shingle-roofed sections of this extensively remodeled and expanded Redmond, Washington home. Rather than simply joining the original home and new additions, this transitional element was designed to become an intentional part of the home's exterior architecture. The dark metal roofing provides a sophisticated contrast against the white siding and neighboring asphalt shingle roofs, visually breaking up the larger footprint while creating balance between the different wings of the home. The change in roofing material adds dimension, texture and architectural interest while allowing the various phases of the whole-home remodel and home addition to read as one cohesive residence. This connection is part of a substantial transformation designed around a family that loves entertaining friends and family. The project included an expanded kitchen and dining room, covered outdoor entertaining area, three-car garage addition, bonus living space, media/family room, home office, craft room, mudroom and expanded laundry room. Thoughtful exterior details such as this standing-seam metal roof connection helped integrate the new construction with the existing home while giving the completed residence the character and refinement of a thoughtfully designed custom home.

This overview shows how the material decisions across this Chicago bathroom remodel work together as a complete palette. The warm Butterscotch cabinetry, Champagne Bronze fixtures, and Amaro Giallo quartz sit on one side of the room while the Marble Lincoln shower walls and frameless sliding glass door occupy the other. The Sterlina II Asphalt matte floor tile grounds the space and provides contrast against the lighter walls and cabinetry.

A beautifully composed custom home exterior showcasing a refined modern farmhouse aesthetic with timeless transitional influence. The façade blends white-painted brick with horizontal clapboard siding and board and batten detailing across prominent gables, creating depth and architectural interest. A low-pitched metal porch roof supported by warm wood columns adds contrast and a welcoming presence to the covered entry. The stone veneer base grounds the home with natural texture, while black-framed windows provide a crisp, modern edge. Set against a mature tree-lined lot, this residence balances classic charm with elevated, high-end design.
