Rain-screen technology assumes that water WILL eventually penetrate through siding. So behind the finished new siding is a drainage plane so that any water that DOES get behind the siding has a pre-determined way down and out.

David Woo Designs The Cirrus range hood by Best is larger than the 36" Bluestar range enabling it to function extremely well even though it is 52" above the range surface. We did not want a traditional suspended range hood to block the view from around the island and we certainly didn't want diminished fume removal performance. The Best range hood accomplished this in part by choosing an external blower that is well over rated for the setup at 1500 cfm. The only draw back was the additional cost of a make up air system that was built into the forced air heating system of the house located in the garage. The make up air damper automatically opens when the range hood drops the pressure in the house by 0.2PSI. The over rated external blower rarely needs to be run at the top speed of four levels and means the hood operates at very low sound levels. This benefits the kitchen and the bedroom above the kitchen. Normal conversation is not hampered at all with the hood on maximum and is barely noticeable on low. Level 1: 50db Level 2: 60db Level 3: 65db Level 4: 68db recorded 2ft below the hood

A small window in the main run of cabinets necessitated a creative solution. We installed a cabinet with no back and an art glass door to allow the light to come through while still giving the client necessary storage.

A clear contrast between the walls and ceiling necessitates a clean line that complements the dark counter tops and wood cabinets.

This homeowner wanted something more unique to flank her entry rather than typical upright conifers. The scale of the brick columns necessitated a pair of large pots. The plantings are perennial and many are evergreen. Included are Bergenia, Phormium, Juncus, Heuchera and Lysimachia.

NEVER let anyone apply Cetol 23 over Cetol 1, peeling will happen every time. This then necessitates sanding everything back to bare wood.
