For this project, we were brought in by a newly retired couple to create more of a social space between the dining room, living room, and kitchen of a split-level home. Previously the space was chopped up into three small spaces so we removed the L-shaped wall which was dividing the spaces while incorporating the structural post in the kitchen into the redesign. The new space flows much better and creates the open feeling perfect for their lifestyle.
Additionally, we renovated and optimized the smaller footprint of the master bathroom. We did this by removing the bathtub and putting in a larger walk-in shower while also installing a linen cabinet for greater organization. Additionally, we installed electrical outlets within one of drawers which had an electrical shut-off mechanism when the drawer shuts for safety.

For many, the idea of downsizing can be daunting, especially when moving from a spacious rural home to a compact condo.
However, our clients were determined to embrace this change to simplify their lives and indulge in waterfront living. With panoramic views of Lake Nepahwin, they were eager to create a retreat maximizing space without compromising style.
To optimize space, we adopted a minimalist approach, focusing on multifunctional furniture and clever storage solutions. By strategically placing furniture and incorporating a pantry, disguised as an built-in armoire in the living room, we were able to make the most of every square inch while maximizing the expanse. “Every inch of real estate is valued,” says Lauren Perry “and that is how downsizing becomes a delight.”
The original pantry was excessive for the couple, but the primary bedroom was lacking closet space. Enter demolition. We opened a bathroom wall and converted the existing pantry into a walk-in closet for our client’s impressive wardrobe. Prioritizing the built-ins with plenty of drawers customized this space for our client’s personal needs and showcased her impeccable taste in clothes, shoes, and accessories.
Every selection had to be carefully considered so the space is inviting, without feeling congested. The fixtures and decor were curated to layer interest, but not detract from the beautiful views of the condo, a delicate balance best left to the professionals.

The Book Club uses a variety of materials and creatively utilizes space to transform a small backyard into an urban oasis. A low concrete wall forms a lounge space with a cantilevered IPE bench and fire pit. Large-format concrete pavers connect the lounge area to a dining and BBQ space, protected from the elements by an overhead louvered roof. The use of synthetic turf, along with native and adapted plant materials, makes this space the low-maintenance, private getaway our client was seeking.

This modern kitchen boasts a pair of 36" stainless steel undermount workstation sinks by Rachiele, strategically placed for optimal kitchen workflow. One sink is dedicated to food preparation, while the other is set up for clean-up duties. The sinks are complemented by the luxurious countertops and sleek, white cabinetry that give the space a bright and airy feel. Unique pendant lights add a touch of elegance above the central island, and the well-organized utensil rack ensures everything is within reach. The kitchen's design is a balance of form and function, providing the perfect setting for both cooking and entertaining.

A black painted wood beam supports the dramatically vaulted ceiling of a Bloomfield Hills living room completed in 2018. A double set of French doors with transoms and circular window above admit natural light into the space and provide a complete architectural window grouping. A large yet unimposing chandelier teams up with recessed lighting, a pair of striking torchiere sconces, and lamp lighting to provide additional illumination. A side wall features built-in custom bookcases perfectly encasing the television and providing storage for books and personal items. The television was placed at an optimal height to continue the horizontal sight lines of millwork in the archways symmetrically flanking the bookcase. Fabric doors on the lower cabinets provide textural interest as well as proper ventilation for left, right and center channel surround sound speakers. A lighted, recessed niche in the wall behind the sitting area provides a custom spot for a sculptural rustic bench. A fourth wall accommodates an outsized modern art canvas full of color and movement. Stained pine flooring is topped by a large square rug to ground the sitting area. A table and chairs by the corner windows make use of light and space to create a family friendly multi-use living room. The design keeps kitchen clutter out of sight while connecting the space and creating outstanding flow and ergonomics. The room, along with the archway off the foyer, is positioned to allow a view through toward the pool and rear yard.

Create a nurturing environment in the nursery with roller shades designed for safety and style, providing optimal light control for your little one's peaceful sleep.

Located on a heritage-lined street in Melbourne’s Williamstown, a young family were seeking a contemporary home with ample room to grow. Benni Trajcevski of Achieve Design Group answered their call, creating the epitome of modern living concealed behind a modest façade. To achieve the long wish list including large indoor and outdoor gathering spaces to entertain family and friends, separate adult and children living and sleeping zones, and a pool suitable for year-round use, Benni has maximised every inch of the block. Seamless transitional spaces link inside with out. This flow between the indoors and outdoors is a key feature of the home, achieved through generous open floor planning and glazing. For example, large hidden sliding doors allow the pool to be closed-off for use in winter; acrylic glass panels link the pool with the sunken lounge, which includes a fire pit for year-round comfort. The inclusion of a courtyard and voids throughout create separate useable zones while maintaining the feeling of spaciousness. Orientated to the north and surrounded with floor to ceiling windows to optimise natural light, the courtyard divides the formal lounge area with the informal living area, while the first floor is divided into four separate wings for privacy and functionality. The interiors are detailed with quality materials and finishes to achieve a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic. Contrasting materials in muted tones, including tiles, steel and lightweight timbers are featured throughout. Corian and a moss green wall are unexpected features.

A grand entrance begins with this sweeping curved staircase that commands attention the moment you step inside. Rich oak treads and a flowing handrail trace an elegant arc through the multi-level space, while metal balusters with intricate gothic knuckle details add a touch of refined craftsmanship. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the stairway with natural light, creating dramatic shadows that shift throughout the day and emphasize the sculptural beauty of the curve.
Working closely with the owner, a hands-on engineer, our design and manufacturing teams rose to the challenge of this custom home. Every detail was carefully calibrated: precise dimensions, optimal clearances, flawless finishes, and installation specifications that honored both the architectural vision and structural requirements. The result is a staircase that's not just functional, but a true centerpiece that celebrates the marriage of wood, metal, and light.
