Home design - modern home design idea in Houston

Unique Builders & Development designed and built this kitchen in Missouri City Texas. The standout feature in this kitchen is the custom built island table top - a beautifully honed wood counter top finish gives it a Texas flair.

This was a Green Building project so wood materials has to be FSC Certified and NAUF. The amber bamboo used (which is horizontal grain run), is a sustainable wood. The The interiors are certified maple plywood. Low VOC clear water-based finish.

The living area is flooded with natural light. The materials were chosen to emphasize the indoor-outdoor feeling. The sectionals and coffee tables were custom made to fit the space. Details such as the horn head, handmade ceramic lights and the leather chairs add a rustic touches.

Our new beautiful accessory dwelling unit in Bethesda, MD we recently completed. This gem features huge casement windows for tons of natural light, wood looking tile floor, full kitchen, full bathroom, and a generous bedroom. The client added retractable pocket barn doors that slide closed when being used for guests, and is opened to use the full space for entertaining.

This was a main floor level renovation where we removed the entire main floor and two walls. We then installed a custom kitchen and dining room cabinets, laundry room & powder room cabinets, along with rich hardwood flooring.

We contracted with Chester County Kitchen and Bath (CCKAB) to completely renovate our master bathroom first, followed by a complete kitchen renovation and the building of a family room addition off the kitchen. John Noland, the VP at CCKAB for such project development, was simply fantastic. He spent many hours with us, discussing our ideas of what we wanted the house to look like, and then he produced outstanding overall technical designs for each project before we ever signed the contract. John used his design software to develop dramatic and really useful drawings and graphic depictions of each aspect of the different projects; these drawings enabled us to refine the different projects over several weeks. John's initial cost estimates were spot-on, as was his proposed project timeline. When we added major changes to the original designs, John worked with us and the general (sub)contractor to incorporate the changes to the overall project without bursting the budget or blowing the timeline. John's able deputy, Stacy Nass, was simply amazing as the Project Manager. She juggled the scheduling of subcontractors, suppliers, cabinetry, appliance installation, etc. with aplomb and professionalism, and it was principally due to her careful attention to detail that the projects ran so smoothly and finished on time. The technical expertise of John, Stacy, and the rest of the staff at CCKAB are matched by their warm interpersonal skills. Having heard all the horror stories from friends about contractors they've used for home projects, we consider ourselves fortunate to have hired the folks from Chester County Kitchen and Bath. In the end, we were so very impressed with the final results - John and Stacy and their many collaborators really did help us create our dream home.

Tall unit modules with pull-out shelves and slide-away doors and featuring BOSSA cladding find their place here. The surface ensures the handle-less modules are perceived as homely elements, with the two kitchen runs very obviously the site of cooking. The modular shelving system FIOS is available as a freely suspended wall element thanks to its strut construction.
