The 800 square-foot guest cottage is located on the footprint of a slightly smaller original cottage that was built three generations ago. With a failing structural system, the existing cottage had a very low sloping roof, did not provide for a lot of natural light and was not energy efficient. Utilizing high performing windows, doors and insulation, a total transformation of the structure occurred. A combination of clapboard and shingle siding, with standout touches of modern elegance, welcomes guests to their cozy retreat. The cottage consists of the main living area, a small galley style kitchen, master bedroom, bathroom and sleeping loft above. The loft construction was a timber frame system utilizing recycled timbers from the Balsams Resort in northern New Hampshire. The stones for the front steps and hearth of the fireplace came from the existing cottage’s granite chimney. Stylistically, the design is a mix of both a “Cottage” style of architecture with some clean and simple “Tech” style features, such as the air-craft cable and metal railing system. The color red was used as a highlight feature, accentuated on the shed dormer window exterior frames, the vintage looking range, the sliding doors and other interior elements.

The client was focused on having a room that, while it embodied superb levels of performance, also convey elegant design. As an entertainment destination, the experience should begin at first glance. Upon opening the door an expectation would occur which would be delivered by the performance. In order to achieve this, the design team provided concept design methodology to develop and present architectural style which works with the performance engineering. Precise design documentation, details and construction support brought the dream to fruition.

These are a few pictures of what mottling looks like on the plaster. This plaster is only 6 months old. We have a product called Meta Max that we can add to the plaster to help REDUCE mottling. Mottling is a natural occurrence that can happen to all cementitious materials but mainly seen on white plaster or a white back ground. Scale occurs when the Ph is to high or the calcium level has reached its breaking point and drops out of the water onto your plaster. It is vital to keep your chemistry correct on an ongoing basis.

A multipurpose kitchen island designed for large gatherings of friends and family which occurs often. It also provides a huge flat surface for large bolts of fabric for sewing purposes. And mainly, the island is a gathering place for the family to eat, talk, play musical instruments. Upper cabinet storage was eliminated to allow large windows so the island then became the main storage area. Transforming this house into a modern "Cascadian" style throughout. Fir timbers, steel, rock, stone, dark stained wood flooring all became the main ingredients.

This partially wooded, acre and a half lot in West Dundee presented many challenges. The clients began working with a Landscape Architect in the early spring, but after not getting the innovative ideas they were seeking, the home builder and Architect suggested the client contact our landscape design/build firm. We immediately hit it off with the charismatic clients. They had a tall order for us: complete the design and implement the construction within a three month period. For many projects this would be a reasonable time frame. However construction delays and the coordination of multiple trades left a very short window to complete the work. Beyond the tight time frame the site required specific care in preserving the many mature surrounding trees, as well as addressing a vast grade change. Over fifteen feet of grade change occurs from one end of this woodland property to the other. All of these constraints proved to be an enormous challenge as we worked to include and coordinate the following elements: the drive layout, a dramatic front entry, various gardens, landscape lighting, irrigation, and a plan for a backyard pool and entertainment space that already had been started without a clear plan. Fortunately, the client loved our design ideas and attention to detail and we were able to mobilize and begin construction. With the seamless coordination between our firm and the builder we implemented all the elements of this grand project. In total eight different crews and five separate trades worked together to complete the landscape. The completed project resulted in a rewarding experience for our firm, the builder and architect, as well as the client. Together we were able to create and construct a perfect oasis for the client that suited the beautiful property and the architecture of this dream home.
