Modern Comfort - Basement Says Goodbye to Its Traditional Roots

Signature Design Interiors enjoyed transforming this family’s traditional basement into a modern family space for watching sports and movies that could also double as the perfect setting for entertaining friends and guests. Multiple comfortable seating areas were needed and a complete update to all the finishes, from top to bottom, was required. A classy color palette of platinum, champagne, and smoky gray ties all of the spaces together, while geometric shapes and patterns add pops of interest. Every surface was touched, from the flooring to the walls and ceilings and all new furnishings were added. One of the most traditional architectural features in the existing space was the red brick fireplace, accent wall and arches. We painted those white and gave it a distressed finish. Berber carpeting was replaced with an engineered wood flooring with a weathered texture, which is easy to maintain and clean. In the television viewing area, a microfiber sectional is accented with a series of hexagonal tables that have been grouped together to form a multi-surface coffee table with depth, creating an unexpected focal point to the room. A rich leather accent chair and luxe area rug with a modern floral pattern ties in the overall color scheme. New geometric patterned window treatments provide the perfect frame for the wall mounted flat screen television. Oval table lamps in a brushed silver finish add not only light, but also tons of style. Just behind the sofa, there is a custom designed console table with built-in electrical and USB outlets that is paired with leather stools for additional seating when needed. Floor outlets were installed under the sectional in order to get power to the console table. How’s that for charging convenience? Behind the TV area and beside the bar is a small sitting area. It had an existing metal pendant light, which served as a source of design inspiration to build upon. Here, we added a table for games with leather chairs that compliment those at the console table. The family’s sports memorabilia is featured on the walls and the floor is punctuated with a fantastic area rug that brings in our color theme and a dramatic geometric pattern. We are so pleased with the results and wish our clients many years of cheering on their favorite sports teams, watching movies, and hosting great parties in their new modern basement!

Contemporary White Shower with Hex Wall

Inspired Remodeling & Tile by Peter Bales

This shower includes 6x12 Crossville Retroactive tiles in Pure White with a feature wall of Hex Tiles (Glazzio Excalibur- Timber Wolf). The fixtures are Kohler from their Stance series, all in stainless steel with the Shift handheld shower. The shower base is also Kohler's cast iron Salient in basalt color. When installing the shower I installed a header so that I could include a wide niche across the back wall. This allows for great storage space and keeps the clean contemporary lines that my client wanted. The corners use Schluter Jolly trim in bright white. The grout is TEC Power Grout in bright white.

A modern home in The Hamptons with some pretty unique features! Warm and cool colors adorn the interior, setting off different moods in each room.

This unusual pairing of materials really came together to produce a stunning modern-contemporary design. Artwork & one-of-a-kind lighting were also utilized throughout the home for dramatic effects.

Cowaramup 8.5 star house

Lurie Building Design

This new home, situated in Cowaramup, Margaret River, posed a number of challenges, ranging from a sloping block, mandatory design guidelines, and bush fire attack levels. The brief was to achieve a solar passive home, not too far from the norm, in order to maintain a realistic budget. The house has achieved an 8.5 star energy efficiency rating without requiring the use of any non-standard glazing. It uses eave shading, breezeways, casement windows and ceiling fans for cooling in summer; and north-facing glass, a concrete slab and wood fire for heating in winter. Other green features include rainwater harvesting, grey water recycling and solar power. Zero VOCs products have been used on the timber bench tops, concrete floors and rendered masonry walls to ensure the occupants avoid contact with any unnecessary chemicals in the home.

Challenge: sometimes second time’s a charm Solved: Most remodels are baby steps. Upgrades. Not, this one. This was clearly a giant step. The deck, made of architectural concrete and Ipe wood—twice as dense as most woods and five times harder—features a cantilevered fire pit and floating barbeque. While these provide ample touches of wow factor, some of the most game-changing and appreciated enhancements are hidden from view: like the re-engineered, energy-efficient power plant and pipes that keep crystal clear water flowing silently and effortlessly space to space. In this case, it would seem, the second time’s a charm.

Waterfalls into pond

Red Cedar Landscapes

One of the most powerful elements you can add to your landscaping is a water feature. Ponds with waterfalls bring a multi-sensory experience to your outdoor space by creating reflections, movement, and sound. They are an ideal solution for smaller properties that don't have space for a pool. Water is therapeutic for everyone and can bring nature closer to those who are confined at home, like the elderly or infirm. A pond can become the focal point of a yard or outdoor room, regardless of size.
