Complete Access Challenge was put forward by the owners. Built in 1884, this is the first house on Main Street one sees when exiting the train station. Its prominent corner location helps define the gateway to the town shopping district. Schematic design sessions for this period home’s renovation were already complete when the news was shared with the design team that one of the owners had been diagnosed with a progressive motor neuron disease. The homeowners asked us to incorporate universal design features—including wheelchair access to every room on every level of the home—but were insistent that they did not want to create a home that looked or felt institutional.

This NKBA Award Winning Bath in Alpine, NJ, was also featured on a special 10 minute segment of ABC Eyewitness News. The Whirlpool Tub is mounted under the marble slabs and is below a custom sky lighted green house configuration. The nook that houses the tub makes it very cozy for the owners. The bath also included a steam shower with sophisticated shower equipment, his and her sinks, separate toilet and bidet area, as well as a small under counter refrigerator for evening snacks and drinks.— In the New York City Tri State Area.

We turn the very small bedroom to a dressing room that become invaluable feature for the owners The ceiling and some of the walls are covered with French and English News papers with fashion articles .

While the Irish are known for being poets and scholars, we're also known for creating warm and welcoming public houses, or pubs, where friends and neighbors can gather over a pint and swap news. This particular pub-style bar was designed and hand crafted for a lovely Irish family's getaway haven on Lake Oconee here in Georgia. For this wonderful installation, we integrated visual cues from the owners' favorite watering holes into the design. Then we applied our famous "driftwood technique" to the rift cut white oak to create the appearance of a time-worn patina. (photo by Noah M. Gallagher)
