We decided to include a low shampoo niche, above where you would rest your head in the tub. We even asked the homeowner to climb into the tub once it was framed in place, and reach back behind her, so the niche would be low enough so she could get whatever she needed, but high enough so it would not hit the back of her head at an odd angle.

The existing fireplace was rebuilt, and a new quarter sawn oak mantle was designed. The underside of the mantle shelf has a deep beveled undercut, which is repeated as detailed elements in the Kitchen, as well as the custom mantle head details above all windows and doors.

Family room - large transitional open concept medium tone wood floor family room idea in Salt Lake City with gray walls, a standard fireplace, a concrete fireplace and a wall-mounted tv

The room was very small so we had to install a countertop that bumped out from the corner, so a live edge piece with a natural branch formation was perfect! Custom designed live edge countertop from local wood company Meyer Wells. Dark concrete porcelain floor. Chevron glass backsplash wall. Duravit sink w/ Aquabrass faucet. Picture frame wallpaper that you can actually draw on.

The U-shaped layout of this kitchen allows for family members and guests to comfortably move about the space, even if someone is working at the island. The island was also designed for the sole purpose of food preparation.

Bathroom - modern bathroom idea in Chicago

This kitchen was really fun to create. The house is an old charmer in the heart of the city and ripe for updates and renovation. These clients started with the kitchen and will work out from there. We kept the old pantry space but added in a stained glass window that had been taken out of their home a previous year. The small touch of red, which is one of may favourite colours, provides a nice contrast with the two toned blue cabinetry. We ripped out much of the drywall to properly insulate and move old plumbing pipes into the wall that were previously outside of walls in older homes. This provided more clean useable space in the pantry. We kept the layout similar to what they had but streamlined it a bit with instead of the odd angles they had before which made cabinet space awkward to get to or use. We talked about colour and we both felt a bold indigo blue in the pantry would feel like a jewel of a space warmed up with wood counters and a softer pale blue/grey in the main kitchen area would feel clean and serene.

Using an induction stovetop keeps the eye going along the granite countertop edge instead of getting broken up by a range. A new window and additional light fixtures also help to keep the kitchen bright.

I built this on my property for my aging father who has some health issues. Handicap accessibility was a factor in design. His dream has always been to try retire to a cabin in the woods. This is what he got. It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a great room. It is 600 sqft of AC space. The footprint is 40' x 26' overall. The site was the former home of our pig pen. I only had to take 1 tree to make this work and I planted 3 in its place. The axis is set from root ball to root ball. The rear center is aligned with mean sunset and is visible across a wetland. The goal was to make the home feel like it was floating in the palms. The geometry had to simple and I didn't want it feeling heavy on the land so I cantilevered the structure beyond exposed foundation walls. My barn is nearby and it features old 1950's "S" corrugated metal panel walls. I used the same panel profile for my siding. I ran it vertical to match the barn, but also to balance the length of the structure and stretch the high point into the canopy, visually. The wood is all Southern Yellow Pine. This material came from clearing at the Babcock Ranch Development site. I ran it through the structure, end to end and horizontally, to create a seamless feel and to stretch the space. It worked. It feels MUCH bigger than it is. I milled the material to specific sizes in specific areas to create precise alignments. Floor starters align with base. Wall tops adjoin ceiling starters to create the illusion of a seamless board. All light fixtures, HVAC supports, cabinets, switches, outlets, are set specifically to wood joints. The front and rear porch wood has three different milling profiles so the hypotenuse on the ceilings, align with the walls, and yield an aligned deck board below. Yes, I over did it. It is spectacular in its detailing. That's the benefit of small spaces. Concrete counters and IKEA cabinets round out the conversation. For those who cannot live tiny, I offer the Tiny-ish House.
