Example of a 1960s living room design in Los Angeles

In the bedroom, we built the perfect bed: layers of cozy fabrics, textures and colors. With so many neutrals everywhere you look, these fun colors are some eye candy! We took the no storage “problem” as an opportunity to include a fun statement piece with the armoire.

A mid-twentieth-century family home on a busy city-wide connector with excellent public transport, and access to employment, services, and shopping. TEAL recognized an opportunity to transform the house into two contemporary dwellings by: • adding new structures: new stairs and separate entries from the street as well as a service room at the back • opening the interiors into spacious light-filled open plan living places • re-presenting the exterior of the building with new hemlock cladding integrated over the existing shingles • installing efficient new environmental control systems • reusing many of the materials, including the building envelope and chimney as part of a feature wall

This “upside down” floorplan of the “Forest Retreat” in Pennsylvania flips the traditional home blueprint. Architect Gabe Hodge’s design places the main living areas, like the kitchen and living room, on the upper level of the home and the bedrooms on the lower level. Placing the living areas on the second floor maximizes opportunities for the homeowners to enjoy light and views of nature throughout the day. Various products from the Marvin Ultimate collection are used throughout the home; the collection offers unlimited customization and supports large glass sizes to achieve ultimate design flexibility. “I was impressed by our ability to truly customize our windows,” said the homeowner. “This house is so unique, so that customization really offered us the opportunity to have exactly what we wanted.”

Walking through this property for the first time with the homeowner was interesting. We really do love historical properties and always want to see them returned to safe, comfortable, and very livable spaces. We saw a lot of opportunities in what some may have walked away from. The transformation was met with some challenges along the way as you might expect from a 101 year old home that had not been updated. We saw them as opportunities and created solutions for each one that we met. We started with structural engineering, and testing for asbestos and lead. Fortunately no Asbestos was present. We took everything down to studs and made sure the house was level and safe. We removed some walls, moved staircases and created a more functional layout for kitchen, hall bathroom, and added a bathroom to the master suite. The end result is a beautiful “new” home with all the charm of its long history in a gorgeous and quaint neighborhood in Madison, WI.

Materika is a structured program, characterized by 30° angle doors. Its shape makes it practical and simple to use. Materials are combined and lacquered colours are alternated in different kinds of finishes which match the ecomalta, glass and stainless steel surfaces. The result is an opportunity to experience original projects in the name of functional beauty. Materika has a special plan to focus attention on the fact that nowadays the kitchen is more and more a place to relate and meet the “taste.” Islands that extend to involve different areas of the house, cutting edge wine cellars as an occasion to savour together the pleasure of good food. An exclusive view over the city with its opportunities, an excellent example of integration between the functional requirements and the unique beauty of the design made in Italy.

Mark & Jen Lownik had a unique opportunity to move back in to the house that Mark had grown up in but remodel it pursuant to a whole new vision. Jen envisioned removing a wall in between the kitchen and the den, remodeling the kitchen, installing new hardwood floors, removing and replacing the textured ceilings with smooth ceilings, re-designing the guest bathroom, laundry room and storage room and removing and replacing the stained trim in the house with new white trim.

Clean and classic for a master bath. Working within an existing master bath’s compact footprint, we created a sense of openness and classic luxury through a new layout, reflective finishes, and graceful lighting. The reorganized space provided the opportunity for a custom vanity at the window, finished with a metallic lacquer, and custom-polished nickel mirrors to provide drama and contrast. Nearby an Alex Katz painting hangs with quiet confidence over a vellum console.

This West Chester rancher had a rather dilapidated back porch that served as the principal entrance to the house. Meanwhile, the stairway to the basement went through the kitchen, cutting 4’ from the width of this room. When Derek and Abbey wanted to spruce up the porch, we saw an opportunity to move the basement stairway out of the kitchen. Design Criteria: - Replace 3-season porch with 4-season mudroom. - Move basement stairway from kitchen to mudroom. Special Features: - Custom stair railing of maple and mahogany. - Custom built-ins and coat rack. - Narrow Fishing Rod closet cleverly tucked under the stairs

It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with the owners of this custom home while it was still under construction. The early planning allowed LWB to design the topographic features of the site to fit into the amenities that the clients desired such as an organically shaped swimming pool, a spa, planting, etc. The extreme grades in the backyard created an opportunity to place the spa overlooking the pool. The unique grading situation also allowed the pool utilities to be built underneath the lawn in a vented room, hidden from view. Waterfalls in the pool and a water wall help to create a relaxing experience in the homeowner's backyard. This Project was awarded with a coveted Grand Award in Residential Installation $50,001 & Over by the Ohio Nursery & Landscape Association.
