Our retired homeowners have a large, beautiful property. With a property this large and a fixed income budget, we decided to prioritize the garden space close to the house. The homeowner’s wish list included a French lavender garden and space to entertain another couple or two, as well as protection from the afternoon sun. We designed a new covered patio space with large format pavers, pulling it away from the house to meet code setbacks, building an expansive patio for both living dining. Hidden automatic electric shades give protection from afternoon sun. With the addition of a fan, shade cloth and heaters, the homeowners have a space to enjoy year-round.

An outdoor kitchen with a fire table sits adjacent to the bar, creating a seamless space for entertaining. The expansive pool serves as the focal point, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape. Covered sections provide relief from sun-filled days, ensuring comfort and enjoyment throughout the yard. Ultimately, this design prioritizes personal enjoyment, accentuating the stunning views and creating a welcoming oasis for relaxation and leisure.

This modern kitchen prioritizes both functionality and aesthetics. A built-in refrigerator and freezer seamlessly integrate into the cabinetry, creating a clean and streamlined look. Wall cabinets with glass inserts offer a stylish way to showcase your favorite dishes while maintaining a spacious feel.
The modern shaker cabinets, finished in a warm white oak, provide ample storage while adding a touch of timeless elegance. A decorative glass pendant light hangs elegantly above the large island, drawing the eye and enhancing the contemporary atmosphere. Sleek hardware and stainless steel appliances complete the look, solidifying the kitchen's modern appeal.

This kitchen and bathroom come from a recently completed home built during my time working alongside Randy Jones Construction in Middle Tennessee.
The focus throughout the project was clean execution, durable materials, and thoughtful details that elevate everyday use—without overcomplicating the design.
In the kitchen, that meant a functional layout, custom cabinetry, and finishes that balance warmth with a modern feel. In the bathrooms, we leaned into larger shower niches, clean tile lines, and custom glass enclosures to create a more open, usable space.
This type of work continues to shape how we approach projects at Myers & Beck today—prioritizing craftsmanship, simplicity, and building things the right way the first time.

To ensure peak performance, the Boise Passive House utilized triple-pane glazing with the A5 aluminum window, Air-Lux Sliding door, and A7 swing door. Each product brings dynamic efficiency, further affirming an air-tight building envelope. The increased air-seals, larger thermal breaks, argon-filled glazing, and low-E glass, may be standard features for the Glo Series but they provide exceptional performance just the same. Furthermore, the low iron glass and slim frame profiles provide clarity and increased views prioritizing overall aesthetics despite their notable efficiency values.

Industrial transitional English style kitchen. The addition and remodeling were designed to keep the outdoors inside. Replaced the uppers and prioritized windows connected to key parts of the backyard and having open shelvings with walnut and brass details.
Custom dark cabinets made locally. Designed to maximize the storage and performance of a growing family and host big gatherings. The large island was a key goal of the homeowners with the abundant seating and the custom booth opposite to the range area. The booth was custom built to match the client's favorite dinner spot. In addition, we created a more New England style mudroom in connection with the patio. And also a full pantry with a coffee station and pocket doors.

Starting with a traditional shingled camp on the Slocum River, the Horseneck project transformed this compact vernacular building into a more modernist composition, connecting interior to exterior, overlapping programmatic areas, maximizing available daylight, and prioritizing outdoor living. With the river setting the backdrop, we began the design with an abstract composition of planes and volumes, which would serve to open the house, frame the views, and add depth to the landscape. The new glass wall, floating deck, cube-like pergola, and attenuated cedar planter all contribute to this geometric composition, in stark contrast to the lush wooded surroundings, and rolling hills.
The extensive interior renovations included opening the central stair on both sides to serve as a central focal point for the interiors. A new kitchen, two new bathrooms, new lighting, finishes, and color palette rounded off the interior renovations
