After the design was developed and permits were in hand, our team excavated the hillside so that the footings and foundation could be poured. The stucco exterior was matched to that of the existing home, while Bluestone Flagstone pavers were found to blend the new patio into a seamless extension of the existing one. The couple selected a NanaWall door system so the doors could be opened completely in nice weather, providing an unobstructed flow to the rest of the patio. Gable windows and skylights provide optimal light while the couple and their guests stay warm and dry regardless of the weather. Comfort is managed year-round with a fireplace, while additional Infratech heaters are mounted over the NanaWall doors for use on particularly frigid days. Warm days are cooled with a gentle breeze from their Haiku ceiling fan.

We completed this seamless home addition for a former Google Tech Lead and current Snowflake Staff Engineer living in Bothell, WA. The goal was to create an additional private room for visiting parents — who frequently travel from abroad — without disrupting the architectural integrity of the home.
The result? An expansion so well-integrated that even close friends didn’t realize a room had been added. We converted unused space into a quiet, comfortable guest suite while preserving the home's original design lines and flow.
Like most of our clients — engineers, tech leaders, and busy professionals — the homeowners wanted a solution that just works. We handled design, permitting, and construction from start to finish, so they could focus on what matters: family, work, and rest.

Coconut Grove is Southwest of Miami beach near coral gables and south of downtown. It’s a very lush and charming neighborhood. It’s one of the oldest neighborhoods and is protected historically. It hugs the shoreline of Biscayne Bay. The 10,000sft project was originally built
17 years ago and was purchased as a vacation home. Prior to the renovation the owners could not get past all the brown. He sails and they have a big extended family with 6 kids in between them. The clients wanted a comfortable and causal vibe where nothing is too precious. They wanted to be able to sit on anything in a bathing suit. KitchenLab interiors used lots of linen and indoor/outdoor fabrics to ensure durability. Much of the house is outside with a covered logia.
The design doctor ordered the 1st prescription for the house- retooling but not gutting. The clients wanted to be living and functioning in the home by November 1st with permits the construction began in August. The KitchenLab Interiors (KLI) team began design in May so it was a tight timeline! KLI phased the project and did a partial renovation on all guest baths. They waited to do the master bath until May. The home includes 7 bathrooms + the master. All existing plumbing fixtures were Waterworks so KLI kept those along with some tile but brought in Tabarka tile. The designers wanted to bring in vintage hacienda Spanish with a small European influence- the opposite of Miami modern. One of the ways they were able to accomplish this was with terracotta flooring that has patina. KLI set out to create a boutique hotel where each bath is similar but different. Every detail was designed with the guest in mind- they even designed a place for suitcases.

The design goal was to produce a corporate or family retreat that could best utilize the uniqueness and seclusion as the only private residence, deep-water hammock directly assessable via concrete bridge in the Southeastern United States.
Little Hawkins Island was seven years in the making from design and permitting through construction and punch out.
The multiple award winning design was inspired by Spanish Colonial architecture with California Mission influences and developed for the corporation or family who entertains. With 5 custom fireplaces, 75+ palm trees, fountain, courtyards, and extensive use of covered outdoor spaces; Little Hawkins Island is truly a Resort Residence that will easily accommodate parties of 250 or more people.
The concept of a “village” was used to promote movement among 4 independent buildings for residents and guests alike to enjoy the year round natural beauty and climate of the Golden Isles.
The architectural scale and attention to detail throughout the campus is exemplary.
From the heavy mud set Spanish barrel tile roof to the monolithic solid concrete portico with its’ custom carved cartouche at the entrance, every opportunity was seized to match the style and grace of the best properties built in a bygone era.

This Vancouver home had a renovation completed on it that left the basement unconnected to the upper two floors of the home. The home owners came to us to re-work the floor plan to incorporate a staircase into the basement and create a new layout that incorporated a laundry room and exterior door. The KAI team worked with different options of layout, created the permit package for city hall and chose the finishes for the space. The laundry room featured heated floors, folding areas and a place for every member of the family to put their things. The guest bedroom had a custom murphy bed for visitors and the small kitchen had a bright update. The large closet doors that housed the services for the home had feature mirror doors to bright the space further. We love how this basement feels like an extension to the home.

This backyard garden studio with a modern design provides a comfortable and stylish retreat for a home office, art studio, cottage bunkie or for backyard entertaining. The layout features two built in work stations, and a built-in sofa bench that can be used for reading, watching televisions or an afternoon nap. A second story loft provides space for storage, a kid's play area or a separate space for lounging. With a footprint just over 100 square feet, this studio makes efficient use of space while minimizing the footprint of the backyard and may be constructed without a permit in many jurisdictions (check your local building code).
