Ahhh, these awesome shelves! We love them! We actually had to have these fittings made, just to fit the slight overhang on the countertop. We adore the way our clients are using this, to display their dish ware and special pieces. The walnut cabinet in the background was designed with our clients daughter in mind, who loves to bake, so the cabinetry is suited to fit all her baking essentials and the cabinet above it hides the slide out mixer.

This close-up highlights the custom-built cabinetry that defines this sophisticated dining space. The upper glass-front doors beautifully display glassware and curated bar essentials, while the lower cabinets provide concealed storage. Rich wood countertops complement the creamy cabinetry, enhancing the modern-traditional design. The textured charcoal walls and wood-framed windows add depth and character, balancing warmth with functionality. Paired with sleek leather chairs and a natural wood dining table, this corner reflects craftsmanship and refined style, ideal for both display and practical use.

We gave this rather dated farmhouse some dramatic upgrades that brought together the feminine with the masculine, combining rustic wood with softer elements. In terms of style her tastes leaned toward traditional and elegant and his toward the rustic and outdoorsy. The result was the perfect fit for this family of 4 plus 2 dogs and their very special farmhouse in Ipswich, MA. Character details create a visual statement, showcasing the melding of both rustic and traditional elements without too much formality. The new master suite is one of the most potent examples of the blending of styles. The bath, with white carrara honed marble countertops and backsplash, beaded wainscoting, matching pale green vanities with make-up table offset by the black center cabinet expand function of the space exquisitely while the salvaged rustic beams create an eye-catching contrast that picks up on the earthy tones of the wood. The luxurious walk-in shower drenched in white carrara floor and wall tile replaced the obsolete Jacuzzi tub. Wardrobe care and organization is a joy in the massive walk-in closet complete with custom gliding library ladder to access the additional storage above. The space serves double duty as a peaceful laundry room complete with roll-out ironing center. The cozy reading nook now graces the bay-window-with-a-view and storage abounds with a surplus of built-ins including bookcases and in-home entertainment center. You can’t help but feel pampered the moment you step into this ensuite. The pantry, with its painted barn door, slate floor, custom shelving and black walnut countertop provide much needed storage designed to fit the family’s needs precisely, including a pull out bin for dog food. During this phase of the project, the powder room was relocated and treated to a reclaimed wood vanity with reclaimed white oak countertop along with custom vessel soapstone sink and wide board paneling. Design elements effectively married rustic and traditional styles and the home now has the character to match the country setting and the improved layout and storage the family so desperately needed.

A beautiful mix of clean stainless steel and warm mango wood creates a stylish and practical kitchen space. 7 feet of stainless steel counter space extend both sides of the nearly symmetrical kitchen. Exposed stained wood beams create a complete look to the kitchen distinguishing it from the rest of the home with all rooms being in close proximity.

Home office - transitional home office idea in Dallas

Our clients were relocating from the upper peninsula to the lower peninsula and wanted to design a retirement home on their Lake Michigan property. The topography of their lot allowed for a walk out basement which is practically unheard of with how close they are to the water. Their view is fantastic, and the goal was of course to take advantage of the view from all three levels. The positioning of the windows on the main and upper levels is such that you feel as if you are on a boat, water as far as the eye can see. They were striving for a Hamptons / Coastal, casual, architectural style. The finished product is just over 6,200 square feet and includes 2 master suites, 2 guest bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, sunroom, home bar, home gym, dedicated seasonal gear / equipment storage, table tennis game room, sauna, and bonus room above the attached garage. All the exterior finishes are low maintenance, vinyl, and composite materials to withstand the blowing sands from the Lake Michigan shoreline.

A traditional bathroom design offers practical storage combined with warm elegance. The large shower includes an Infinity shower trough drain, a corner built-in seat, and a shower niche for storage. The rainfall and handheld showerheads complete this relaxing shower experience. A vanity cabinet in Blue River matte finish and a large mirror framed by two tower cabinets offer a beautiful contrast with the countertop and tile colors.

Beautiful Rear-porch/ deck addition designed by Joe Harris at Measure Architects. This porch was constructed in close proximity to a heritage tree which required extensive planning, permitting, and care during the construction process to keep the tree healthy. While installing the foundation, our team practiced hydro/air excavation and hand-dug once the roots were exposed to protect the tree. Great work team!
