This uniquely designed home in Seattle, Washington recently underwent a dramatic transformation that provides both a fresh new aesthetic and improved functionality. Renovations on this home went above and beyond the typical “face-lift” of the home remodel project and created a modern, one-of-a-kind space perfectly designed to accommodate the growing family of the homeowners. Along with creating a new aesthetic for the home, constructing a dwelling that was both energy efficient and ensured a high level of comfort were major goals of the project. To this end, the homeowners selected A5h Windows and Doors with triple-pane glazing which offers argon-filled, low-E coated glass and warm edge spacers within an all-aluminum frame. The hidden sash option was selected to provide a clean and modern aesthetic on the exterior facade. Concealed hinges allow for a continuous air seal, while premium stainless-steel handles offer a refined contemporary touch.

A shower glass installation typically involves the placement of tempered glass panels in a shower enclosure, replacing traditional shower curtains or other non-glass materials. These glass panels may be frameless or framed, and can feature a variety of finishes and patterns to suit different design preferences. In terms of installation, a shower glass installation typically involves the custom-cutting of the glass panels to fit the specific dimensions of the shower enclosure. The panels are then mounted using specialized hardware or adhesives designed for glass installation, which may require professional installation. The installation process may involve anchoring the glass panels to the wall or floor to ensure they are secure and level. Shower glass installations offer several advantages over traditional shower materials. They are easy to clean and maintain, as they do not require frequent replacement like shower curtains or liners. Additionally, they create a sleek and modern look that can enhance the overall aesthetic of a bathroom or shower space. It's worth noting that shower glass installation requires proper ventilation and drainage to prevent the buildup of moisture and minimize the risk of mold or mildew growth. For this reason, it is important to consult with a professional installer to ensure that the installation is done correctly and that proper ventilation is maintained. Overall, a shower glass installation is a popular choice for those seeking a modern and stylish look for their bathroom or shower space. With a range of design options available, it's possible to find a shower glass solution that perfectly suits your needs and enhances the overall aesthetic of your space.

The Augusta Collection has been called our masterpiece creation! Featuring wide paddle arms, a sloping seat and rear supporting legs, it has some common elements of the Adirondack chair. And although it could claim the Adirondack as a cousin, the Augusta has created a style completely its own. This new design bucks the trend of other teak manufacturers to minimize the amount of teak in favor of aluminum or stainless. Never to be described as sleek or slender, Augusta pieces are typically 10-15% larger in scope than competing deep seating furniture. The Augusta Club Chair and Loveseat come with a 3-stop reclining feature to offer varied relaxing positions. Along with the good looking style from the front and side, the Augusta furniture adds an exquisite, handsome curve to the backrest design.

This modern green home offers both a vacation destination on Cape Cod near local family members and an opportunity for rental income. FAMILY ROOTS. A West Coast couple living in the San Francisco Bay Area sought a permanent East Coast vacation home near family members living on Cape Cod. As academic professionals focused on sustainability, they sought a green, energy efficient home that was well-aligned with their values. With no green homes available for sale on Cape Cod, they decided to purchase land near their family and build their own. SLOPED SITE. Comprised of a 3/4 acre lot nestled in the pines, the steeply sloping terrain called for a plan that embraced and took advantage of the slope. Of equal priority was optimizing solar exposure, preserving privacy from abutters, and creating outdoor living space. The design accomplished these goals with a simple, rectilinear form, offering living space on the both entry and lower/basement levels. The stepped foundation allows for a walk-out basement level with light-filled living space on the down-hill side of the home. The traditional basement on the eastern, up-hill side houses mechanical equipment and a home gym. The house welcomes natural light throughout, captures views of the forest, and delivers entertainment space that connects indoor living space to outdoor deck and dining patio. MODERN VISION. The clean building form and uncomplicated finishes pay homage to the modern architectural legacy on the outer Cape. Durable and economical fiber cement panels, fixed with aluminum channels, clad the primary form. Cedar clapboards provide a visual accent at the south-facing living room, which extends a single roof plane to cover the entry porch. SMART USE OF SPACE. On the entry level, the “L”-shaped living, dining, and kitchen space connects to the exterior living, dining, and grilling spaces to effectively double the home’s summertime entertainment area. Placed at the western end of the entry level (where it can retain privacy but still claim expansive downhill views) is the master suite with a built-in study. The lower level has two guest bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and laundry. The flexibility of the space—crucial in a house with a modest footprint—emerges in one of the guest bedrooms, which doubles as home office by opening the barn-style double doors to connect it to the bright, airy open stair leading up to the entry level. Thoughtful design, generous ceiling heights and large windows transform the modest 1,100 sf* footprint into a well-lit, spacious home. *(total finished space is 1800 sf) RENTAL INCOME. The property works for its owners by netting rental income when the owners are home in San Francisco. The house especially caters to vacationers bound for nearby Mayo Beach and includes an outdoor shower adjacent to the lower level entry door. In contrast to the bare bones cottages that are typically available on the Cape, this home offers prospective tenants a modern aesthetic, paired with luxurious and green features. Durable finishes inside and out will ensure longevity with the heavier use that comes with a rental property. COMFORT YEAR-ROUND. The home is super-insulated and air-tight, with mechanical ventilation to provide continuous fresh air from the outside. High performance triple-paned windows complement the building enclosure and maximize passive solar gain while ensuring a warm, draft-free winter, even when sitting close to the glass. A properly sized air source heat pump offers efficient heating & cooling, and includes a carefully designed the duct distribution system to provide even comfort throughout the house. The super-insulated envelope allows us to significantly reduce the equipment capacity, duct size, and airflow quantities, while maintaining unparalleled thermal comfort. ENERGY EFFICIENT. The building’s shell and mechanical systems play instrumental roles in the home’s exceptional performance. The building enclosure reduces the most significant energy glutton: heating. Continuous super-insulation, thorough air sealing, triple-pane windows, and passive solar gain work together to yield a miniscule heating load. All active energy consumers are extremely efficient: an air source heat pump for heating and cooling, a heat pump hot water heater, LED lighting, energy recovery ventilation (ERV), and high efficiency appliances. The result is a home that uses 70% less energy than a similar new home built to code requirements. OVERALL. The home embodies the owners’ goals and values while comprehensively enabling thermal comfort, energy efficiency, a vacation respite, and supplementary income.

Inspiration for an eclectic kitchen remodel in Philadelphia

Here's a totally new kitchenette, featuring bright red walls and matching glass back-splash tile. A peninsula offers bar stool seating for four. Honed Granite countertops and white craftsman style cabinet doors define the design while high-grade interlocking water-resistant flooring is just the right color to complement the décor. It might be the ceiling treatment that sets this room apart from typical basement projects. With ductwork and pipes and wires often running through the joists the basement ceilings, most contractors just choose to just enclose it all. This kitchen uses a 3-D ceiling – with opened soffits and unique lighting - adds dimension to a room with lower ceilings. It reinforces the red accents, but also creates interesting lighting/shadow effects with recessed can lighting.
