This kitchen was part of an extension to the existing home, which includes the new family room adjacent. The new space has high ceilings with lots of windows that offer natural light and pretty views to the backyard, so it was important when designing the space to keep all that in mind. All details of the interior storage options were well thought out and planned ahead, to accommodate the client's needs, including the coffee center. Finishes: Synthia in Limes Oak (wood laminate) Bondi in Arctic (matt laminate) Glass doors with painted back frame Countertop- quartzite (natural stone)

Jongonga Contractors we design and serve the entire population regardless of age, stature, size, or physical ability. Traditional homes designed for average families may limit the independence or functionality of some residents; Kitchen counters are too low for very tall individuals and too high for short people. We incorporating features into a home during general home remodeling or rehabilitation project will not change the appearance of the home nor necessarily Increase the project although the cost will be based on the material. We add value and meet an immediate need; the other is to plan ahead to make the home better-fit household needs now and for the future as part of normal home up-grade or remodeling projects used on the project.

This Walk in Shower was converted from a Shower and Tub. They were combined to create a large open shower for the owner. Cut Pebble tile for the floor and a Carrara Look Porcelain for the walls made this an open Master Bath rather than a crowded space with not no appeal. We love this space. Notice the placement of assistance grab bars in the shower. The owner works in the healthcare field and she was planning ahead.

Renovation is stressful. Wouldn’t it be nice to let someone else oversee product selections, manage day-to-day issues, and bring your project to a successful completion? The owners of a two-family in Arlington recently did just that, flying off to Florida just as we began renovating their first floor unit. Of course, before they left we thoroughly discussed all aspects of the work order, which included renovating the kitchen and bathroom, painting the bedroom, and adding a laundry closet. We reviewed color and material selections, and set up a schedule for regular briefings. A handful of issues did come up. But because we had planned ahead, we were able to resolve them with very little stress for our clients. For instance, the client had chosen a bright yellow paint color for the kitchen walls, but once the new cabinets, countertop, and flooring had been installed, it was clear that yellow would clash. We suggested a more complementary Benjamin Moore Lancaster Whitewash shade instead. In the bathroom, the clients had selected a deep inset mirrored medicine cabinet. But when the wall behind the vanity was opened, it revealed a pipe running up the wall, too close for the inset model. In this small space, a bump-out medicine cabinet would be awkward, so instead we placed a mirror over the sink and two smaller inset cabinets on either side – a solution that pleased the homeowners, who now have his-and-hers storage spaces. Finally, the homeowners had resigned themselves to the fact that the laundry closet would be too small for storing detergent and other needs. However once the units were in place, we realized that a small custom shelf could be built and had it installed to the delight of the homeowners. Photo by Shelly Harrison

Winning Best New Home of 2013 and labeled “Passive House Perfection” by Fine Homebuilding, this 1600-square foot farmhouse achieves the highest performance standards without sacrificing aesthetic standards. The owners “learned that good design and modern aesthetics were compatible with the kind of energy we were seeking and we couldn’t be more pleased.” Beyond Efficiency coached the team in resource-efficient framing, and builder Rob Nicely incorporated practices such as 24” stud spacing and appropriately sized insulated headers to reduce lumber costs, speed construction and maximize insulation. He planned ahead by pre-insulating components such as doubled I-joists to ensure an uninterrupted thermal boundary. To achieve the strict Passive House heating demand requirements, phase-change materials (PCMs) are installed behind drywall in walls and dropped ceilings to absorb the sun’s heat from large south-facing windows and release it for passive heating once temperatures cool down. PCMs provide temperature moderation and peak load shifting benefits that were traditionally available only in heavy, high-thermal mass materials. The house is designed to use about 70% less energy than its code-level counterpart. The homeowners have reported that temperatures remain very stable throughout the home, varying no more than 2 degrees from north to south and top to bottom.

In order to end up with flush surfaces one has to plan ahead. Here the painted wood, gypsum board and, on the right, Ceasarstone waterfall of the kitchen cabinet are all in one plane. Clean and simple. Note that the stairs have a straight profile with no nosing too.
