This remodel showcases an open floor plan, natural color palette, and eye-catching design choices. The main objective of this project was to provide the client with an updated kitchen and laundry room layout, alongside updated flooring, lighting, and architectural elements. The floorplan was updated to an open concept by removing a wall between the kitchen and living room, creating the ideal space to entertain guests and host friendly events. The kitchen displays a custom hutch for decorative plates, as well as a fully customized cabinet layout to meet the clients’ every need. In the laundry room, our in-house cabinet shop created a beautifully custom mud-bench to enhance storage and functionality of the room, while additional space was added by incorporation a storage closet in the garage for the new sink area. Overall, this project highlights the benefits of having a custom cabinet shop and team of designers to create a space designed for maximum functionality followed by beautiful form.

At times, the most remarkable spaces emerge when we begin with a clean slate. In this particular project, we had the privilege to design a completely custom home, starting from scratch for our client. They simply entrusted us with a piece of land, and from that point forward, we handled everything. Our primary objective for this project was to craft an exceptional, contemporary, and practical dream home for a family of four. By creatively manipulating height variations at the front of the house, we conceived the standout element of the home: the impressive windows that showcase the bespoke steel spinal staircase.

When it came to renovation we collaborated with Michael Schmitt Architect to carry out one mission for our clients: to carefully restore and artfully embellish the home with their personality, to create a modern family-friendly dwelling worthy of showcasing their impressive collection of art, furniture and objects.

This mid-century home was in need of some restoration to its original roots. The kitchen was outdated and closed off with no dining area near to gather naturally and host guests. The clients desired to honor the style of the home but incorporate their personal style for a clean and modern look. The clients, who happen to be artists themselves, had a very graphic sense and their main objective was to have structure, function and organization for their new kitchen and dining. For functionality purposes, the old office adjacent to the kitchen was the perfect space to repurpose into a dining room. Walls dividing those rooms were torn down, allowing natural light to flow easily throughout the space, creating the illusion of a bigger area. To cut down on costs, original windows remained and the layout of the kitchen generally stayed the same. The custom features incorporated showcase what’s important to the client. Custom cabinetry includes breadboards, pull out drawers, tray dividers and organizational dividers. Their banquette seating even has custom drawers for the purpose of shoe organization and miscellaneous items. For aesthetic purposes, cherry and warm grey tones were chosen based on what was already throughout the home for a cohesive feel. White Fireclay handmade tiles were installed at a straight-set pattern with pops of gray for a modern backsplash. Mid-Century elements include their custom-made lighting and banquette seating area that was originally styled for the home. Overall, the impact of the design brought about a bright, fresh modern uplift that were all in the details.

This formal sitting room, situated just off the entrance, creates an inviting and sophisticated transition into the larger open-concept great room that includes the dining room and kitchen. The space is anchored by a black sofa adorned with a mix of neutral and rich-colored pillows, adding warmth and contrast to the room’s moody, yet elegant, atmosphere. A sleek, minimalist wooden coffee table sits in front of the sofa, contributing to the clean lines and modern aesthetic. The backdrop of the room is defined by a dark accent wall, which creates a dramatic contrast against the light flooring and the neutral tones of the rest of the home. Against this wall, a unique arched shelving unit provides both storage and display space, showcasing decorative objects and books, adding a touch of curated elegance.

The soft furnishings, combined with the thoughtful accents, create a relaxed yet polished atmosphere—welcoming guests and offering a comfortable retreat before entering the bustling activity of the adjacent dining and kitchen areas

This lakeside residence was envisioned as a timeless American home that blends naturally with its picturesque surroundings. The objective of the visualization was to showcase the architecture within its landscape, highlighting the relationship between the home, the water, and the surrounding greenery. Careful attention was given to materials, lighting, and environmental details to create a realistic and inviting atmosphere that reflects the character of the property. The renderings were developed to help communicate the design intent while capturing the tranquility and charm of lakeside living. The project was modeled in SketchUp and rendered using D5 Render, combining detailed architectural modeling with high-quality visualization to bring the residence to life.

Creating a personal wellness retreat doesn't always mean starting from scratch. Through thoughtful design-build solutions, this Portland metro primary bathroom renovation showcases how reimagining your existing space can deliver extraordinary results. Nestled into the side of Cooper Mountain, this stunning remodel artfully balances bold neutrality with warm, natural elegance. The centerpiece of the transformation—a spacious cedar-clad sauna—connects harmoniously with the expanded double shower, where biophilic accent tile reflects in the striking wall tile like dappled sunlight on water. The refined vanity area, featuring expertly repainted cabinetry and luminous countertops, ties the space together with subtle sophistication. The success of this luxury renovation stems from strategic space planning and custom craftsmanship. By removing the existing oversized tub and deck—elements that weren't serving the homeowners' needs—we created space for a fully custom two-person sauna. The shower expansion, though modest at 12 inches, significantly enhanced the comfort and functionality for two users, demonstrating how thoughtful design can maximize every square foot. What sets this project apart is its fully integrated design-build approach. Rather than relying on prefabricated solutions, the custom sauna was designed and constructed from the ground up. This complex undertaking required seamless coordination among electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades across the Portland Metro Area, all working together to transform a standard bathroom into a high-performance wellness retreat. Client collaboration played a pivotal role in the project's success. Through detailed 3D renderings, curated photo books, and hands-on material samples, the homeowners could confidently visualize and participate in design decisions. Every element—from the rich cedar sauna cladding to the plumbing fixtures—was carefully selected to create a perfect balance of aesthetics, performance, and budget considerations. Speaking of budget, strategic decisions helped prioritize the homeowners' main objectives: a comfortable two-person sauna and an expanded shower. Instead of complete replacement, the existing cabinetry received a professional refinishing, maintaining a fresh, cohesive look while reducing material costs. By thoughtfully retaining elements like plumbing fixtures, electrical wiring, and the toilet location, we avoided unnecessary expenses while upgrading lighting with efficient LED fixtures where needed. This primary bathroom and sauna project exemplifies how a collaborative design-build approach can transform your vision into reality. By combining strategic space planning, custom craftsmanship, and budget-conscious decisions, we created a personalized wellness retreat that delivers both luxury and functionality.

This project started with a 360 scan to create immediate floor plans. From these floor plans we've started to design the new layout of the space in order to showcase the remodel. The objective of this project was to create an open-space by removing the wall divider from the kitchen area, Creating a beautiful modern loft. Watch the project's fly-through: http://bit.ly/2lNQ9kI

Dark finishes, industrial textures, and minimalist detailing create a cohesive modern luxury feel that mirrors high-end boutique fitness studios while remaining integrated into the residential design language of the home. Throughout the basement, clean drywall finishes, crisp trim work, and concealed mechanical systems reflect thoughtful construction planning and attention to detail from a skilled general contractor. This basement remodel exemplifies custom home building excellence, combining entertainment, wellness, and design-forward living into a cohesive lower-level retreat. The overall style blends modern, contemporary, organic modern, Scandinavian, and subtle industrial influences, resulting in a timeless yet bold space that adds significant lifestyle value and resale appeal. Premium materials, intentional lighting, custom millwork, and durable finishes make this basement ideal for homeowners seeking elevated design, luxury construction, functional entertaining spaces, and a seamless extension of the main living areas. Designed and built with craftsmanship, precision, and modern aesthetics in mind, this basement reflects the highest standards of interior design, home renovation, custom construction, and luxury residential building.
