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.

We had the awesome opportunity to complete this 8ft Western Red Cedar board-on-board privacy fence that included metal gate frames with industrial hinges and 2x6 single stage trim cap. We used exterior rated GRK screws for 100% of the installation, not a single nail on the entire project. The project also included demolition and removal of a failed retaining wall followed by the form up and pouring of a new 24” tall concrete retaining wall. As always we are grateful for the opportunity to work with amazing clients who allow us to turn ideas into reality. If you have an idea for a custom fence, retaining wall, or any other outdoor project, give 806 Outdoors a call. 806 690 2344.

This typical late 20th Century home located in Fishers, IN had a somewhat open kitchen-living area.Because their extensive home-grown gardening, canning and wine making needs weren't accommodated by the small existing kitchen/dining areas, these clients hired Residential Architect LeeConstantine to improve their situation. Constantine separated the "wine making zone" from the everyday "family kitchen zone" striving to allow the zones to "flow" between the two without isolating one from the other. A small rear addition allowed the necessary expansion needed to create the different zones as well as provide for a new walk-in food pantry closet, the various prep and cooking centers, and the opportunity and space to entertain guests there to sample their delicious "creations".In addition, Constantine provided a design offering opportunities for the expression of the clients individual personalities and tastes. This was achieved by incorporating niches for artwork, arched stained glass components highlighting the "home-grown" concept and even a dumb waiter housed within a base cabinet accommodating the transport of 5 gallon "carboys" directly to the basement wine cellar.

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.

It all started with an unwelcome surprise for these homeowners: stray Lego down the shower drain.

At that point, the owners figured they might as well take advantage of the opportunity to update their bathroom.
