After working on several projects in their residence, the Grapevine’s asked us to fully design the renovation of their new dental office. The practice consults patients with cosmetic and daily dental needs and desired a warm, welcoming space for their patients to feel instantly comfortable. That feedback is regularly given to the staff, so we achieved our mission. The dark wood molding was one thing the owner wanted to remain during the renovation, so we found ways to lighten and brighten around it to keep it from feeling too dark. Mirrors, glass, and metals, along with bright white accessories helped us achieve our mission. Calming blue accents evoke calmness and add depth to the space as well. Performance fabrics on seating ensure their investment remains protected for many years to come!

This project was a challenging outdoor renovation. During design process we had to work closely with the City because of the close proximity to drainage easements. Our client was very patient and great to work with as we went through the design process. Based on the end result, the wait was worth it. We were able to design and install a new pool, water feature, raised infinity edge spa, wood deck with fire feature, new fence and all new landscape. Photography: Wade Griffith

Nestled in the heart of the living space, a whitewashed brick fireplace stands as a focal point of timeless charm and warmth. The gentle, neutral tones of the brick are invitingly softened by the artful touch of whitewashing, imparting a cozy and rustic feel to the room. Adjacent to this comforting centerpiece, a log hook patiently awaits its turn to contribute to the crackling flames. The simplicity of the whitewashed brick blends seamlessly with the natural wood elements, creating a harmonious atmosphere that beckons for moments of relaxation and fireside conversations.

Pool - mid-century modern pool idea in Dallas

In the summer of 2012 we embarked on a remodel of our 1912 Craftsman. We wanted to redo the kitchen and the upper floor which contained the master bedroom, bathroom, guest room and office. We interviewed approximately 5 other architects prior to finding Mark. We knew right away he was the right person for the job. He was patient, thorough and we could tell he truly loved our home and wanted to work with us to make it even better. His vast experience showed through during the interview process which validated his portfolio. Mark truly became a trusted advisor who would guide us through this remodel process from beginning to end. His planning was precise and he came by many times to re-measure to get every detail accounted for. He was patient and helpful as we made decisions and then changed our minds! He was with us every week of the 10 weeks of the remodel. He attended each weekly meeting with the General Contractor and was at the house numerous other times guiding and really looking out for our best interests. I came to trust him enough to ask his opinion on almost everything from layout to colors and decorating tips! He consistently threw out ideas....many of which we took. Additionally Mark was a tremendous help in referring us to contractors, designers, and retailers to help us along the way. I am ecstatic over the results of the remodel. The kitchen and bath are truly beautiful and full of modern conveniences while maintaining the integrity of the 1912 structure. We were right about our decision to hire Mark and we wholehearted recommend him as an outstanding architect, and more!!

Reclaimed wood and doors from the old Tampa Courthouse give dimension and a touch of whimsy to this South Tampa dentist office. We set up a drawing desk in the waiting area for children to make artwork while they wait to be seen. We also carried milky sealed concrete throughout the space for the feeling of relaxed sophistication. This is far from the cookie cutter office it started as and patients love it!

Growing Pileas is not only a matter of good care, but also a matter of being extremely patient. Sometimes leaves break when you water the plants, which can be the start of a nice experiment. We put one of those leaves into soil and kept watering it every now and then. Result: it started to root! Credits: instagram.com/houtje.touwtje
