Karen was an existing client of ours who was tired of the crowded and cluttered laundry/mudroom that did not work well for her young family. The washer and dryer were right in the line of traffic when you stepped in her back entry from the garage and there was a lack of a bench for changing shoes/boots.
Planning began… then along came a twist! A new puppy that will grow to become a fair sized dog would become part of the family. Could the design accommodate dog grooming and a daytime “kennel” for when the family is away?
Having two young boys, Karen wanted to have custom features that would make housekeeping easier so custom drawer drying racks and ironing board were included in the design. All slab-style cabinet and drawer fronts are sturdy and easy to clean and the family’s coats and necessities are hidden from view while close at hand.
The selected quartz countertops, slate flooring and honed marble wall tiles will provide a long life for this hard working space. The enameled cast iron sink which fits puppy to full-sized dog (given a boost) was outfitted with a faucet conducive to dog washing, as well as, general clean up. And the piece de resistance is the glass, Dutch pocket door which makes the family dog feel safe yet secure with a view into the rest of the house. Karen and her family enjoy the organized, tidy space and how it works for them.

A young family home needed a major update in the master bathroom, which was stuck in the 1980's with an oversized jetted-tub and tiny shower. The new design introduced a fresh, clean aesthetic with a user-friendly, functional floor plan for modern living.

Cape Associates, Inc. completed this backyard bliss by covering an attached pergola with a 12’ x 16’ retractable shade. Rope driven, the homeowners can extend the Sunbrella Taupe fabric without knocking fresh lobster rolls off the table.

A young family home needed a major update in the master bathroom, which was stuck in the 1980's with an oversized jetted-tub and tiny shower. The new design introduced a fresh, clean aesthetic with a user-friendly, functional floor plan for modern living.

With a striking profile, the SWEEP media console’s curved design beautifully showcases a home theater system while providing the ultimate in function and style. The console combines an open soundbar shelf, IR-friendly glass doors, and side storage cabinets to house everything that a complete media system needs. User-friendly features include hidden wheels, removable back panels and integrated cable management.

Another tiny kitchen in a 20's era home needed to be lightened up and the space more user friendly. Bringing the oak flooring from the living room into the kitchen and then on to the back porch gave a more cohesive look. Removing the glass block between rooms, adding a full glass door and painting out the cabinets white made for a pleasing space. A smaller refrigerator was able to get into the kitchen instead of the old one on the back porch!

It’s quirky yet stylish! This exclusively designed Hisa chair is all about comfort and boldness as it depicts a fine creation of modernism. This lightweight and easy to carry furniture comes with a strong metallic frame which ensures of its durability for a longer period of time. The exquisite upholstery work is done throughout the décor which gives it an even better outlook. The top-notch quality fabric is available in environment friendly material which is not only safe but strong. The ideal adornment for your living space!

Design Goal:
Create an office space that fills this forensic accountant’s clients with the confidence that she has everything under control. As clients most likely are in a stressful situation when they visit, this small office must put them at ease and instill a sense of calm. The decor must convey friendly professionalism, efficiency, strong leadership, an atmosphere of trust and a willingness to help.

Coldwater Canyon Residence by Mark Tessier of Mark Tessier Landscape Architecture
The expansive views from this mountaintop property are a defining feature of this residence. With a passion for modern architecture and art, the clients wanted their garden to reflect their aesthetic and honor the California lifestyle. To meet their needs, the firm crafted a series of family-friendly outdoor rooms for living and entertaining.
To highlight the architecture, concrete provides a unifying thread to join spaces together and define structure—sometimes solid, in other places becoming eroded walls and gravel walkways. At the entry to this serene garden, a sculptural concrete bridge arches over a Koi pond and water feature. Quiet, meditative pathways lead to gathering spaces shaded by willow trees and guide guests by the pool to floating wood platforms with lounge seating. On a carpet of Ipe wood, open-air dining and entertaining at a custom designed laser-cut tile table is enjoyed under retractable steel shade structures.
In the rear garden, the designer provided a place for the clients to socialize by an outdoor fireplace, swim in the pool, relax on floating platforms, and take in the views. Native plants are interspersed with the client’s favored planting palette, a diverse selection of succulents and exotic species. Photos by David Laurdison

Our clients wanted a home that married classic and contemporary design—a place where they could enjoy entertaining their friends, family, and business associates. The designers chose a monochromatic color scheme accented with soft blues and copper to achieve their clients’ desired contemporary look. Taking full advantage of the restored building’s wood paneled walls and architectural details, they combined the clients’ own favorite pieces with custom built-ins, special order furnishings and fabrics, and exquisite sculptures. Be sure to check out the gorgeous walk-in closet with its white and mirrored walls, high top desk that serves as an organizational area, and its custom island that hides belts and accessories.

Its hard to find the words to express how much we enjoyed designing this living room… Gracious in scale and with good bones, we were given an empty palette to create something beautiful and meaningful that would live on with this family for years to come. Taking note of the home’s location - south-eastern Virginia - this living room has a sort of Southern, coastal, new-traditional style.
