Kitchen - mid-sized transitional galley dark wood floor kitchen idea in Minneapolis with an undermount sink, glass-front cabinets, white cabinets, multicolored backsplash, paneled appliances, an island, quartz countertops and mosaic tile backsplash

Wood is the secret to this Zen-inspired bathroom's success. The design and the client loved the unique and organic countertop shape. The decor is minimal, the lighting feels ambient, the stones and water in the simple classic vessel echo a zen fountain. How peaceful would your friends feel in this bathroom? The style feels effortless and offers a respite in a private space.

Inspiration for a large 1950s concrete floor and gray floor living room remodel in Portland with white walls, a standard fireplace, a brick fireplace and no tv

This modern farmhouse located outside of Spokane, Washington, creates a prominent focal point among the landscape of rolling plains. The composition of the home is dominated by three steep gable rooflines linked together by a central spine. This unique design evokes a sense of expansion and contraction from one space to the next. Vertical cedar siding, poured concrete, and zinc gray metal elements clad the modern farmhouse, which, combined with a shop that has the aesthetic of a weathered barn, creates a sense of modernity that remains rooted to the surrounding environment. The Glo double pane A5 Series windows and doors were selected for the project because of their sleek, modern aesthetic and advanced thermal technology over traditional aluminum windows. High performance spacers, low iron glass, larger continuous thermal breaks, and multiple air seals allows the A5 Series to deliver high performance values and cost effective durability while remaining a sophisticated and stylish design choice. Strategically placed operable windows paired with large expanses of fixed picture windows provide natural ventilation and a visual connection to the outdoors.

The soaking tub was positioned to capture views of the tree canopy beyond. The vanity mirror floats in the space, exposing glimpses of the shower behind.

A cozy rustic modern living room blends natural wood, fireplace, stone accents, and large windows to showcase breathtaking mountain views, creating a sustainable and luxurious retreat

The organic shape of the surrounding trees contrasts the hard-lined form of the home. To the right, a photo studio is clad in pre-cast concrete. The large front door defines the central entry. To the left, the great room is screened by perforated metal. Heavy Metal is a contemporary take on the Miesian courtyard house, in a rural setting. In this instance, the courtyard is created as much by the landscaping and vegetation as it is by the architecture. Photography by Andrew Fabin
