Non Traditional - Photos & Ideas

Encompassing a range of baluster rails, newel posts and complementary decorative accessories, Outwater's new, maintenance free Cast Stone Balustrade System is manufactured utilizing a unique process that combines a mixture of resins with crushed limestone and impregnated fade resistant textured colors to create balustrades that look and feel just like authentic limestone balusters at less than half of their cost and weight. Intended for indoor or outdoor applications, which can be assembled by laypeople using traditional carpentry tools without the need for masonry, Outwater's Cast Stone Balustrade System meets the 4-inch sphere code when properly set up, and can be placed on sized dimensional lumber without the need for steel supports. Moreover, unlike lesser quality balustrade systems, which use regular screws to attach their components, also taking into account that the screws' imminent corrosion renders them as an unsafe means by which to attach baluster rails, Outwater's Cast Stone Balustrade System employs a unique incorporated pipe system, connector pins and spacers to increase the Balustrade System's stability while allowing for a more secure and professional installation with barely perceptible seams. Offered in 34-in. and 48-in. overall heights with a nominal 7-in rail width, baluster rails are sold by the foot up to 16-ft. long to accommodate most any installation. 100% mold resistant, non-porous and unaffected by the harshest elements, Outwater's Cast Stone Balustrade System does not require priming, painting or even occasional touch ups, further enhancing its appeal.

Fresh & Organic Modernism

BJOID Inc.

With its artsy design & contemporary finishes, this kitchen defines ‘non-traditional’. Working with this family of 4 was a delight as free reign was given; as long as it was functional modern and ‘cool’. The custom walnut door with horizontal grain offers a refined detail, and the ‘Burnt Ember’ island colour by Benjamin Moore ties in the Caesarstone Piatra Gray countertops. The large mitered island is the core of the kitchen, and Caesarstone’s gorgeous Calacatta Nuvo design wisps effortlessly across and down each waterfall end. With few uppers, efficiency is important. From Super Susans and spice pullouts, to peg board drawer liners and utensil dividers, everything has its place so that each family member can help out easily. The 60” Miele fridge, steam oven and matching dishwashers with applied panels, are all built-in for a fully integrated look. A slight extension on the sink wall offers extra working space, and creates a perfect homework zone for the kids. Lighting is difficult without upper cabinets, so the 2” floating shelf which emerges from the stacked lift-up cabinets has a recessed LED puck to light up the sink area. This kitchen’s fresh materials & bold design choices perfectly complement the client’s lifestyle.

Stately Elegance - Master Bathroom Remodel

Crystal Kitchen + Bath

A dated, all white bathroom gets a face lift. The client desired to remodel their Master Bathroom into a charming & relaxing space, while staying within the existing footprint. In this Golden Valley, MN bathroom remodel, the traditional style fixtures coordinate with other elements in the home and a warm color palette with accents of green was selected to coordinate with Master Bedroom. Some of the client’s favorite features is the new vanity with a counter wall cabinet for storage of toiletries & make up. A make-up mirror is mounted on the side and folds back and out of the way. Brushed gold finishes on the plumbing & light fixtures blend nicely with the warm tones of the marble tile. A damask print wallcovering of green & gold along with the honed green granite counter top compliments the green color palette in the Master Bedroom. The raised granite ledge on the side of the tub is a great place set a candle or glass of wine while relaxing in the new bubble massage air bath by Kohler. A recessed niche above the toilet adds character to the toilet/tub room, while crown and tile base moulding finish off the room nicely.

Hygeia Lot 3

Banker Wire

When envisioning the Hygeia Lot 3 single family residential home in Encinitas, California, Lindsay and Rory Brown of The Brown Studio sought to weave unique architectural details throughout the minimalist design scheme. To add depth to the overall look and feel of the space, and to complement the home’s existing ‘hard’ angles, the team selected Banker Wire’s IPZ-25 woven wire mesh. Specified in a stainless steel and brass finish, the wire mesh was utilized to create the interior stairway railing, which functions as the focal point of the lower lounge room area. Adding an elegant touchpoint to the space, the wire mesh reiterates the angular look and feel while providing much-needed depth through the stainless steel and brass finish. Similarly, for the project-at-large, the design team favored a seamless indoor/outdoor design scheme, with the Banker Wire mesh application helping to achieve this; the exterior of the home features Gabion rock walls, created using an enclosing wire structure to secure the rocks into a wall formation. By adding the wire mesh interior stairway railing, the design team was able to create an indoor/outdoor connection through highlighting these unique wire touchpoints. “The Hygeia Lot 3 house is full of unique angles and architectural details—it’s two levels of playful design and carefully crafted architectural details,” says Loryn Cook, Designer, The Brown Studio. “We wanted to use materials that reflect this line of thinking, and Banker Wire’s architectural mesh provided the stability and breathability we were after.” The simple, lightweight material of the IPZ-25 wire mesh pattern—which has a 54% open area—utilizes a mixture of stainless steel to achieve balanced sturdiness; when mixed with the copper-based alloy of brass, a beautiful contrast occurs, while the team’s custom system holds the wire in place. Through utilizing different wire diameters for the warp and shute—achieving balanced stiffness in both directions—the intercrimp surface gives the material a high degree of reflective energy. As a result, the mesh pattern imitates an array of colors that changes as the viewer moves throughout the space. “For this project, we wanted a material that was permeable enough to see through, but detailed enough to catch the eye,” adds Cook. “IPZ-25 provides a myriad of different textures and colors, depending on the perspective from which it is viewed from—we love it specifically for this effect.” In regards to the fabrication process, Robert Richter, Owner of Flur Metals, notes that although it was initially a challenge, this project is proof that the outcome is well worth it. “We typically utilize more rigid mesh types for this kind of application, but because of how unique IPZ-25 is, The Brown Studio came to us asking if we could make it work,” says Richter. “We did not shy away from the challenge; this project was exciting, as we were able to utilize such a delicate, beautiful mesh, but a non-traditional way. Once one side was ‘tac’d in,’ we pulled it tight, and ‘tac’d’ the other side to the frame. Then, the border was welded to another frame that sandwiched the mesh in place,” adds Richter. “This application is proof that it can be done! It’s still one of my favorite projects we have ever worked on.”
