First constructed in the early 1900s, the building housing The Astorian has been designated a landmark building by the Houston Historical Society. For a large part of this building’s life it served as The Cook Paint and Varnish Company who at its peak, supplied more than one-third of the nation’s paint market. The space also served as a studio for Houston-based artist, David Adickes, for a number of years before being transformed yet again into one of Houston’s premier event venues, The Astorian. The buildout of the bride & groom’s suites of The Astorian was focused on creating comfortable and luxurious spaces that felt modern & sophisticated while paying homage to the building’s history & character.

Southwest Florida’s hot summers and mild winters, along with amenity-rich communities and beautiful homes, attract retirees from around the world every year. And, it is not uncommon to see these active adults choosing to spend their summers away from Florida, only to return for the fall/winter. For our fabulous clients, that’s exactly what they did. After spending summers in Michigan, and winters in Bonita Springs, Florida, they decided to set down some roots. They purchased a home in Bonita Bay where they had enough space to build a guest suite for an aging parent who needed around the clock care. After interviewing three different contractors, the chose to retain Progressive Design Build’s design services. Progressive invested a lot of time during the design process to ensure the design concept was thorough and reflected the couple’s vision. Options were presented, giving these homeowners several alternatives and good ideas on how to realize their vision, while working within their budget. Progressive Design Build guided the couple all the way—through selections and finishes, saving valuable time and money. When all was said and done, the design plan included a completely remodeled master suite, a separate master suite for the couple’s aging parents, a new kitchen, family room entertainment area, and laundry room. The cozy home was renovated with tiled flooring throughout, with the exception of carpeting in the bedrooms. Progressive Design Build modified some interior walls, created Wainscoted panels, a new home office, and completely painted the home inside and out. This project resulted in the first of four additional projects this homeowner would complete with Progressive Design Build over the next five years. Kitchen: Varying heights and depths breaks up that long wall of DuraSupreme Cabinetry. Includes tumbled marble back splash and radiused island.

Located in the exclusive development of Bachelor Gulch, CO this ski-in, ski-out home’s design recalls the historic lodges of the West’s National Parks.
