Living room - transitional living room idea in Detroit
Living room - transitional living room idea in Detroit

This built-in was a small part of a project that coincided with some modern hand railing and ladders.
We played around with some interesting lines through the design process.
The result was this geometric abstraction design back panel (all built in reclaimed Ash) meant to draw attention to a space that could have been stark.
The objective of this design also needed to be functional.
We incorporated a tiered offset reclaimed Ash shelf unit that allows the light to fall through and tastefully illuminate the records.
The slatted feature below is a cover panel for the lower space housing electronic (i.e. router, external hard drive…).
Its built with 3/4″ reclaimed Ash slats resting in laser cut slots in the steel rails.
The space allocation between each slat allows for air movement for the electronics.

A complete renovation, as well as a two story addition, consisting of 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The house has very modern elements, such as a very open floor plan, and several skylights throughout the house. Photos by Marty Maxwell

A very elegant ensemble in dark shades.
The focus is on the functional run,
attached to the wall, with elements of different
depths and materials – a different,
rhythmic kitchen architecture. The highgrade
genuine wood with its characterful
structure is a fine touch – and also
features on the high-class inside.
The striking L-shaped arrangement of the
units is not just a bold eye-catcher – it
also defines priorities. Because inside,
everything that is required frequently is
stowed away but always easily accessible.
A closer look reveals the subtle interplay
of top-quality surfaces: frosted glass
contrasts with elegant lacquer, a discreet
metal look with warm wood.

Trim+Edge is a custom mid-century modern residential landscape remodel in East Austin, Texas (78702). Designed by Hush House, the project transforms a sloped residential lot into three functional outdoor zones using a slatted steel retaining wall, a pea gravel courtyard, and a shaded patio lounge.
2. Design Challenge & Architectural Solution
The Challenge: Leveling a sloped backyard lot to create usable, multi-functional outdoor living spaces for family gathering and entertaining.
The Solution: Installing a low-profile, slatted steel retaining structure to level the upper lawn while creating a seamless step-down transition into a pea gravel courtyard and shaded patio lounge directly adjacent to the main home.
3. Key Architectural Features & Materials
Slatted Steel Retaining Wall: A custom steel retaining structure that encases, levels, and elevates the upper lawn area.
Pea Gravel Courtyard: A low-maintenance gravel patio designed for flexible seating, dining, and casual outdoor entertaining.
Shaded Patio Lounge: An oversized covered seating area situated right next to the house for all-day shade and comfort.
Three-Zone Functional Layout: A layered landscape plan designed to activate distinct areas for concurrent family activities and large social gatherings.

This floor is the original from the mid 1960's. It was unsuccessfully patched in a few spots. It had a variety of typical problems including spawling, efflorescence, cracking, and sinking sections. You can see where it fell off the footer around the perimeter. On top of all that, it had high moisture content, and required a moisture barrier primer. High moisture content is common in older homes as the garage concrete is commonly on top of little or no stone, the area under the pad has settled, and there is no plastic between the concrete and what is below it. We did this over a period of 3 days, and the results were outstanding, as you can see.
