This Mom requested a large soaking tub in her Master bathroom retreat. We designed the room so the impressive tub was located next to the windows providing phenomenal views of the outdoor greenery and letting loads of natural sunlight in. Custom grey window treatments compliment the floor tile and allow the client's to decide how much privacy and light they prefer.

The Toy's luxurious patio and pool is a phenomenal indoor-outdoor living space with both a sitting and dining area as well as an outdoor kitchen. Just the place to relax and entertain.

Many recent renovations had already taken place at this phenomenal old Tudor home. The kitchen redo was saved for last. Our mission, imposed by our client, was to create a jaw-dropping, ultra-functional space for family and friends to gather in for years to come. Naturally, the new kitchen would have to reflect the style of the home seamlessly. One challenge was to incorporate very large professional style appliances into the space while keeping the feel of a stately, yet warm home. Custom wood panels were designed for the refrigerator units to give a furniture feel. A copper hood was designed to bring in an old world element. Wood panels were applied to all other appliances – two dishwashers, a wine refrigerator, and a beverage refrigerator. An iron I-beam that separated the original kitchen from the butler’s pantry and back entry was covered in wood with chamfers to match the other ceiling beams in the home by a local woodworker. Due to the age of the home, the outside walls are concrete block. This necessitated chiseling troughs into the concrete for electrical wiring. Ceilings were studded randomly, so finding openings for recessed lighting was hit or miss. A large cluster of wiring and plumbing to the second floor had to be hidden behind cabinetry to the left of and above the refrigerators. HVAC wasn’t straight forward either. Toe kick heaters from the old kitchen had to be replaced with other sources. A propane tank had to be added to fuel the large dual fuel, double oven range. The homeowner wanted to add a walk-in pantry for extra storage, so space was taken from an existing exterior space. This created the need for extra insulation, supplemental heat and added lighting. Needless to say, mechanicals were a big challenge. Natural stone was added in backsplash areas to the ceiling to mimic the rectangular stone on the exterior of the home. Wood panels fill the backsplash areas under wall cabinets. Large chandeliers light the space. Open shelves at the wet bar/prep area offer convenient storage for grab and go service items. A built-in pantry with antique mirrored mullion doors hides a microwave, several other small appliances as well as dishes and food items. This pantry was tucked into an alcove for an added architectural element. Herringbone wood floors are classic and timeless. Wrought iron hardware and shelf brackets fit right in. Large Barley twist legs ground the island giving a nod to the Tudor style. Mission accomplished. Matt Villano Photography

To create a semi-private area for the family landing zone, we chose to relocate the garage entry door to the house. Its new space was currently an awkward hall access to the dining room from the kitchen. Our design expert suggested extending the existing garage door entry wall to create a private entrance, then using the new wall space for the refrigerator and coffee bar. We then repeat the arched doorway seen in other areas. This space plan allocation has turned into one of the homeowners’ favorite features of the new area. In that same corner of the open space was a desk with an arched niche. The height and width were perfect to create a new doorway to the dining room. Now the two arched doorways look phenomenal together like they were always meant to be.

Design within reach museum quailty offerings are seen here in the Platner Table and seating. The glass table keeps the space airy and prevents blocking the phenomenal view from any angle or seat height. The circular chandelier that behaves like a moon in the night sky was imported from San Fran and is made of paperclips. It's an artsy surprise for dinner guests who will likely assume its comprised of traditional materials. Tradition has no home here. Instead, this space called home is transcending. A one of a kind. Like its owner.

This project is one of the most extensive TVL scopes to date! This house sits in a phenomenal site location in Golden and features a number of incredible and original architectural details. However, years of shifting had caused massive structural damage to the home on both the main and basement levels, resulting in shifting door frames, split drywall, and sinking floors. These shifts prompted the clients to seek remodeling assistance in the beginning of their renovation adventure. At first, the scope involved a new paint and lighting scheme with a focus on wall repair and structural improvement. However, the scope eventually evolved into a re-design of the entire home. Few spaces in this house were left untouched, with the remodeling scope eventually including the kitchen, living room, pantry, entryway and staircase, master bedroom, master bathroom, full basement, and basement bedrooms and bathrooms. Expanding the scope in this way allowed for a design that is cohesive space to space, and creates an environment that captures the essence of the family's persona at every turn. There are many stunning elements to this renovation, but a few favorites include the insanely gorgeous custom steel elements at the front entry, Tharp custom cabinetry in the kitchen and pantry, and unique stone in just about every room of the house. Our clients for this project are both geologists. This alone opened an entire world of unique interest in material that we have never explored before. From natural quartzite countertops that mimic mountain ranges to silky metallic accent tiles behind the bathtub, this project does not shy away from unique stone finds and accents. Conceptually, the clients' love for stone and natural elements is present just about everywhere: the dining room chandelier conceptually takes the form of stalactite, the island pendants are formed concrete, stacked stone adorns the large back wall of the shower, and a back-lit onyx art piece sits in a dramatic niche at the home's entry. We love the dramatic result of this renovation and are so thrilled that our clients can enjoy a home that truly reflects their passions for years to come!

Ground Floor Redesign, Entry, Basement Stairwell, Kitchen, Living and Dining Rooms. Architecturally, we removed the original closed in front vestibule and stairwell walls. We also removed a redundant side door (another is located at back) and flipped the basement stairs to be accessed at the front entrance instead of the kitchen. This redesign allowed the entire space to be opened-up and provide well-needed space for the new kitchen. A full glass railing quietly protects the below closet and pantry area, while offering the feeling of spaciousness and controls traffic from the front door directly into the kitchen. Brilliant idea! A feature to the Living Room is a new built-out wall exhibiting a recessed flat-screen television and linear fireplace with a circulation vent system. The kitchen island hosts the built-in oven, a microwave drawer, and induction cooktop. The built-in fridge sits adjacent to a pullout pantry which is complemented by a corner lemans corner system. A spice niche and the key niche in the entry add some fun storage. All appliances are built-in and only 24" wide, making counter space a privilege. The island front boasts an illuminated display niche to complement a stone waterfall facing the entry. Island toe kicks were tucked back 9” to create the illusion of a “floating” island. The ceiling is thoughtfully designed with painted bulkheads to contribute to defining the three primary spaces as one entity for comfortable interaction. Anchoring the island is a suspended walnut canopy housing a recessed hood fan and an array of recessed lighting. Hardwood flooring was re-pieced and refinished to be level with the new entry "pebble tiles" which promote a sense of nature and non-slip care. A phenomenal transformation indeed, these home-owners absolutely love the results of their renovations.

Fact: Taj Mahal Quartzite looks phenomenal with *any* cabinet finish. This stone is one of our favorites for its polished marble look and fantastic durability.

A stunning 4,000 square foot home nestled in the country side. The homeowners chose a phenomenal lot with gorgeous views to build a dream home for their family. Natural light streams into every room. Beautiful hand-scraped birch flooring, barn board doors, spectacular light fixtures and a floor-to-ceiling Town & Country Essex County stone fireplace. Our client was the visionary behind the designing of this project! What a beautiful home for this family to grow up in.

Complete Gut Renovation: DOB Permit required for 2 Bedroom, 1 and 1/2 bath prewar in estate condition. Created a great open room for kitchen/dining/living room by removing walls between kitchen and living room, opening doorways, changing and adding closets, upgrading electric to 100 AMPs. The additional glass double depth storage over the peninsula opened the space between the kitchen and the dining/living room. The washer and dryer were included, with the bonus of a true powder room off the kitchen. The refinished dark original floors were a perfect finish for a phenomenal transformation! Construction Duration: 3 1/2 months
