We loved getting the opportunity to go dark and moody with the paint color, but showing how dark paint doesn't mean the space will be dark!

Few things bring us more joy than creating a bespoke space for our clients. certain projects progressed in stages. what began as a gut renovation of the main house expanded in scope to include the addition of an attached guesthouse and blowout and remodel of the kitchen. with each stage came new challenges and opportunities and a welcome reminder that a designer’s work is never truly done.

In Wynnewood, PA, we completed a comprehensive home renovation that transformed the entire property. Our services included installing a brand new kitchen with modern cabinets, countertops, and appliances, creating a functional and stylish culinary space. New flooring was laid throughout the home, updating it with durable and attractive materials. A new deck was built to enhance outdoor living and entertainment opportunities. Bathrooms were completely renovated with new fixtures and updated designs, improving both functionality and aesthetics. The entire interior received a fresh coat of paint, revitalizing the home's appearance. We also installed new stairs for improved accessibility and safety. Additionally, the basement was finished to provide additional living space, completing the transformation of this Wynnewood home into a modern and comfortable living environment.

The floating shelves were a delightful opportunity to showcase accessories, incorporating personal touches and vibrant pops of color that reflect the family’s unique style.

Lower-level walkout basement is enhanced by the corner stone fireplace, fine oriental rug, Hancock and Moore leather sofa, and Bradington Young reclining chairs. The full kitchen with raised island/bar is open to the room and the large double sliders offer the opportunity for the outside to become a part of the covered loggia and expansive space. Natural slate covers the entire lower level, except for the guest suite, which is carpeted. Photos taken by Sean Busher [www.seanbusher.com]. Photos owned by Durham Designs & Consulting, LLC.

Photography by Jim Tetro This house, built in the 1960s, sits southfacing on a terrific wooded lot in Bethesda, Maryland. The owners desire a whole-house renovation which would improve the general building fabric and systems, and extend the sense of living out of doors in all seasons. The original sixties-modern character is preserved and the renovation extends the design forward into a contemporary, modern approach. Connections to and through the site are enhanced through the creation of new larger window and door openings. Screened porches and decks perch above the sloped and wooded site. The new kitchen and bathrooms allow for opportunities to feel out-of -doors while preparing, cooking, dining, and bathing. Smart passive strategies guide the environmental choices for this project, including envelope improvements, updated mechanical systems, and on-site stormwater management.

Kirk Bianchi created this resort like setting for a couple from Mexico City. They were looking for a contemporary twist on traditional themes, and Luis Barragán was the inspiration. The outer walls were painted a darker color to recede, while floating panels of color and varying heights provided sculptural interest and opportunities for lighting and shadow.

IDS (Interior Design Society) Designer of the Year - National Competition - 3rd Place award winning Living Spaces ($30,000 & Under category) Photo by: Shawn St. Peter Photography - What designer could pass on the opportunity to buy a floating home like the one featured in the movie Sleepless in Seattle? Well, not this one! When I purchased this floating home from my aunt and uncle, I undertook a huge out-of-state remodel. Up for the challenge, I grabbed my water wings, sketchpad, & measuring tape. It was sink or swim for Patricia Lockwood to finish before the end of 2014. The big reveal for the finished houseboat on Sauvie Island will be in the summer of 2015 - so stay tuned.
