Kids' room - coastal carpeted and beige floor kids' room idea in DC Metro with white walls

This family room was updated using a soft palette of greens, blues and lavender in all new furniture, rugs, lamps etc. It is super functional for a busy family. All of the fabrics and the rug are performance. The new modern light fixture is a perfect balance with the traditional style of the room.

The focus for this kitchen was on additional storage, ease of navigation and family friendly surfaces. Additional storage was accomplished by thinking vertically for storage as there was no additional square footage to use. Cabinets were installed all the way to the ceiling. Additionally, the island was reconfigured to maximize storage in that location. The refrigerator was relocated, a beverage refrigerator was installed in the island and a snack storage was created for the kids adjacent to the beverage refrigerator. Additionally, relocating the refrigerator created a larger continuous work surface around the range and a bit more space between the range and sink. The island was key for daily family meals and fun kitchen activities i.e. weekend baking. Quartz countertop created a worry-free surface to withstand the daily wear and tear of normal family use.

Look beyond the primary colors with this creative use for your baby’s nursery. The black and white theme is eclectic and vibrant, creating visual interest without clash. Eclectic Builders has placed soft, restful wall coverings against the original brick work – here painted white for the main black and white theme. It is an non-traditional and gender-neutral take on the typical baby’s nursery that normally includes bright colors or variations on pink and blue. Further, because visual interest is so important for a baby’s development, the high-contrast black and white theme can keep a baby’s mind active even as his eyes develop. -Eclectic Builders

Such an attractive house deserved an equally beautiful kitchen. The owners of this 1909's craftsman style home wanted a better functioning kitchen with more natural light and a larger opening to the dining room for their active family.

Conceived more similar to a loft type space rather than a traditional single family home, the homeowner was seeking to challenge a normal arrangement of rooms in favor of spaces that are dynamic in all 3 dimensions, interact with the yard, and capture the movement of light and air. As an artist that explores the beauty of natural objects and scenes, she tasked us with creating a building that was not precious - one that explores the essence of its raw building materials and is not afraid of expressing them as finished. We designed opportunities for kinetic fixtures, many built by the homeowner, to allow flexibility and movement. The result is a building that compliments the casual artistic lifestyle of the occupant as part home, part work space, part gallery. The spaces are interactive, contemplative, and fun. More details to come. credits: design: Matthew O.

The Clients contacted Cecil Baker + Partners to reconfigure and remodel the top floor of a prominent Philadelphia high-rise into an urban pied-a-terre. The forty-five story apartment building, overlooking Washington Square Park and its surrounding neighborhoods, provided a modern shell for this truly contemporary renovation. Originally configured as three penthouse units, the 8,700 sf interior, as well as 2,500 square feet of terrace space, was to become a single residence with sweeping views of the city in all directions. The Client’s mission was to create a city home for collecting and displaying contemporary glass crafts. Their stated desire was to cast an urban home that was, in itself, a gallery. While they enjoy a very vital family life, this home was targeted to their urban activities - entertainment being a central element. The living areas are designed to be open and to flow into each other, with pockets of secondary functions. At large social events, guests feel free to access all areas of the penthouse, including the master bedroom suite. A main gallery was created in order to house unique, travelling art shows. Stemming from their desire to entertain, the penthouse was built around the need for elaborate food preparation. Cooking would be visible from several entertainment areas with a “show” kitchen, provided for their renowned chef. Secondary preparation and cleaning facilities were tucked away. The architects crafted a distinctive residence that is framed around the gallery experience, while also incorporating softer residential moments. Cecil Baker + Partners embraced every element of the new penthouse design beyond those normally associated with an architect’s sphere, from all material selections, furniture selections, furniture design, and art placement.
