This master bathroom suite has been redesigned and installed to meet the effortless flow and energy within the rest of the flat. Large porcelain tiles on the floor compliment the luxury of a bespoke walk in shower – while the wall tiles have been installed with a trimless edge, making them flush with the wall. This is a unique method of finishing the tiling, but a flair and skill which we encourage our installers to nurture and flourish on our projects! Review from customer: “I work in the bathroom industry so I had great expectations about my property refurbishment, and I must say Teammax met them. Max and his experienced and skilful team showed scrupulous attention to details and proactive approach through the entire project. Great results!“

Here's what our client had to say about this project which is taken from our review page: All Square has completed Phase 1 of an expected 3 phase whole house renovation of our lake home, and we are beyond thrilled with the results. We were demanding clients – my husband is an engineer by education and a program manager by profession, so he is very detailed, exacting and demanding. We solicited bids from 3 other general contractors before engaging All Square, but Micah Purvis won our confidence that he and his team could make our dream a reality. Micah is a master communicator, clear, detailed and pro-active in his approach to problems. We were very happy with all the All Square employees who worked on our job – Daniel and Austin were great and a pleasure to have around – but most especially Justin Solomon, truly a jack of all trades. If there is something Justin can’t do or a skill he doesn’t possess, we aren’t aware of it. Justin was as reliable as the sun, here first thing every morning, troubleshooting problems, dealing with all the sub-contractors and making invaluable structural and design suggestions that made the finished product all the better. I honestly miss having Justin around and our dogs miss him too! It is obvious that All Square has worked hard to identify and nurture relationships with quality tradesmen and a few of them really stand out for their superior work – Mike (stonemason), Jeremiah Cook (painter) and Michael Stewart (electrician). When we are ready to begin Phase 2 of the renovation, there is no doubt that we will call Micah and All Square to do the work. We are so happy with our renovation and grateful that we made the right decision to entrust our forever home to All Square.

A bath intervention insert in marvelous scenery of Dialogue House, an incredible project sited at the base of Echo Mountain. The Dialogue House was conceived as two volumes of light – one warm and one cool – one focused outward to the expansive horizon and one upward toward the canopy of the desert sky. A five-sided box of light with no apparent thickness floating above and within the dark desert landscape with only the apparent thinness of light supporting the space to be lived in. The home is projected south toward the South Mountain and Sierra Estrella Mountain ranges far across the Phoenix basin and the downtown skyline. “With this bathroom renovation – Wendell Burnette Architects – we sought a product that would work in harmony with the existing wood and stone floors in the rest of the house and at the same time add textural and visual interest to the design. Bianco Avorio – with its nuanced, refined character – proved to be that product. The slot skylight reveals the tactile quality of the stone. And its natural beauty and calm, uniform color expand the sense of space within a relatively small footprint” Wendell Burnette Architects is an internationally recognized architectural practice based in Phoenix, Arizona. Their portfolio of work includes a wide range of private and public projects. The specific focus of the practice is concerned with space and light, context and place, and with the environment and landscapes in which we live. The architecture of the firm responds to the specifics of site and client needs, is resourceful in regards to budget, takes a pro-active approach to the craft of building, and strives to create spaces that engage people.

Let's face it: times are changing. We're living in an era where technology advances at a fast pace and its developments have a significant impact on the surroundings. The need for environmental solutions has become more urgent with each passing day. While we live and adapt to our immediate environment, it doesn't mean that we have to settle with what's present, especially when our surrounding conditions are becoming detrimental to our wellbeing. This is the reason Singapore architects are looking into eco-friendly approaches when designing residential spaces. Singapore architects are becoming more proactive in integrating eco-friendly principles in their residential projects. Below are some of the standout reasons why: 1. You get to practice energy efficiency. In typical homes, electricity is powered by non-renewable sources. The continuous use of non-renewable energy increases carbon footprint and worsens air pollution, both of which negatively affect the environment. However, there are alternative sources of energy that can be included in your home's architectural design. These include solar panels and wind turbines that produce electricity that can keep the house powered. These methods do not produce toxic compounds or carbon emissions; they are also renewable and do not incur recurring expenses. 2. Eco-friendly architecture brings you closer to a more "natural environment." The emergence of urban landscapes has deprived today's generation of the opportunity to be one with nature. Individuals these days have to travel to the countryside to enjoy nature's beauty and all the amazing benefits it has to offer. Fortunately, eco-friendly architecture provides a route where you can better appreciate many of the benefits nature offers. As a homeowner, you must enjoy a calm, clean, and fresh indoor environment. Eco-friendly approaches to homes aim to provide this kind of atmosphere through the use of local materials, renewable energy sources, and incorporating nature's elements (such as sunlight and air ventilation) on the structural design. 3. You save money for maintenance and upkeep. Eco-friendly architecture is known for its low maintenance costs. At first glance, you may find it expensive to build a "green home." However, since it makes use of renewable energy sources and local resources for upkeep, operational costs become much cheaper compared to living in a conventional home. Also, green homes promote material efficiency. Apart from using local resources, eco-friendly construction involves building processes that generate as little waste as possible. Recycled and reusable materials are preferred in building the home, while the architectural design follows construction techniques that use less energy, water, and raw materials. 4. You enjoy better health. Living in a green home offers a lot of health benefits. For instance, eco-friendly architecture supports the use of natural materials and it discourages having plastic by-products in the building process. At the same time, eco-friendly architectural designs look into utilising vertical space to boost freedom of movement and air circulation. These spatial strategies allow you to breathe better even while indoors and move around the house without feeling cramped. Lastly, utilising vertical space offers more natural light to enter the home. Natural light is essential not just because it illuminates the house during the day, it also regulates the circadian rhythm, which dictates our body's waking and sleeping hours. In a nutshell Eco-friendly homes can help you save money and time, not to mention improve your health dramatically. Moreover, it can also help reduce your environmental footprint significantly. From improving air quality to helping regulate the effects of climate change, eco-friendly homes allow you to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

Winner of a Cornish Buildings Group Award 2015 Barn Conversion in Cornwall – Case study of the conversion of a Grade II* Medieval Tithe Barn to a family home. The Bazeley Partnership is often asked to provide professional architectural advice and assistance to home owners seeking to carry out a challenging conservation building project in Cornwall and Devon. This case study looks at the conversion of a Grade II* (2 star) Medieval Tithe Barn in Cornwall to a family home. Our clients explain the project requirements here: “In 2010 My wife and I purchased a former riding stables business and small holding, which came with a 13th Century, Grade II* (2 star) listed medieval Tithe Barn. The barn was on the national register at risk and is one of the only surviving examples of a Medieval roof on a barn of this type in Cornwall- hence its star listed status. The previous owners and other prospective buyers had attempted to secure a planning consent on the barn, but failed. We were advised that planning was unlikely and we should avoid taking on the challenge by both our solicitor and other planning professionals. However, having met with Martin Back from the Bazeley Partnership we found great comfort in his knowledge and experience, and his approach to secure planning permission seemed logical. In 2011 we appointed The Bazeley Partnership and through their professional and methodical approach, excellent design and detailed application, we secured the support of English Heritage to save our special building. This was a very rare example of a Grade 2 Star listed building being granted residential planning status and thus enabled us to fulfil our dream of turning it into an amazing home. Throughout the sensitive conversion the Bazeley Partnership have played a crucial role in aiding and assisting with the discharge of various planning and listed buildings conditions and general design and technical advice. Since then we have also appointed Martin and his team to act for us on numerous applications, all of which have been handled in the same professional fashion with a successful outcome. If you are looking for a professional, pro-active and dynamic firm to help create your dream home then The Bazeley Partnership is the definitely worthy of the job. Thanks guys for all you’ve done!” We’re delighted to be acting as Architects on this project and look forward to its completion. If you have a barn conversion or conservation building project in Cornwall or Devon and you would like professional advice from our Architects, please get in touch. We can also help and advise on the changes to permitted development rights for agricultural buildings. http://www.bazeley-architects.co.uk/portfolio-posts/medieval-barn-conversion/ Images by Rob Colwill - All Rights Reserved

In today's fast-paced world, where fashion trends come and go, it's essential to adopt a strategic approach to shopping for your wardrobe. Creating a collection that withstands the test of time involves a careful consideration of your personal style, the quality of clothing, and the versatility of your choices. Let's explore some key strategies to make smart choices for a wardrobe that lasts. Introduction In a world dominated by fleeting fashion trends, the concept of strategic shopping has become increasingly crucial. It's not just about following the latest styles but making choices that align with your individual preferences and lifestyle. This article aims to guide you through the process of building a wardrobe that is not only stylish but also enduring. Understanding Your Style The first step in strategic shopping is understanding your unique style. Take some time to assess your preferences, whether it's casual, formal, or a mix of both. Consider your lifestyle, including work requirements, social activities, and personal interests. This self-awareness forms the foundation for making informed wardrobe decisions. Quality Over Quantity Investing in high-quality clothing might seem like a splurge initially, but it pays off in the long run. Quality garments last longer, resist wear and tear, and often maintain their aesthetic appeal over time. Opt for fabrics and materials known for their durability, and you'll find yourself replacing items less frequently. Versatility in Wardrobe Choices When selecting clothing items, think about their versatility. Look for pieces that can be easily mixed and matched to create various outfits. This not only expands your wardrobe but also allows you to express your style in different ways. Transitional items, suitable for multiple seasons, offer additional flexibility. Seasonal Considerations While staying true to your style is essential, it's also crucial to be mindful of seasonal trends. Striking a balance between trendy pieces and timeless classics ensures that your wardrobe remains relevant and adaptable to changing fashion seasons. Capsule Wardrobe Concept For those seeking a minimalist approach, the concept of a capsule wardrobe is worth exploring. A capsule wardrobe consists of a curated collection of essential, timeless pieces that can be effortlessly combined. This not only streamlines your daily choices but also promotes sustainability by discouraging impulsive shopping. Budget-Friendly Shopping Strategies Strategic shopping doesn't have to break the bank. Explore thrift stores, outlet malls, and online sales for budget-friendly options. Take advantage of discounts, promotions, and early bird sales to score quality items at more affordable prices. Eco-Friendly Choices Consider the environmental impact of your fashion choices. Opti for clothing brands that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices. Choosing eco-friendly materials and supporting responsible manufacturing contributes to a more conscientious approach to fashion. DIY Wardrobe Upgrades Get creative with your wardrobe by incorporating do-it-yourself (DIY) upgrades. Repurpose old clothing items, add embellishments, or experiment with alterations to breathe new life into your wardrobe. This not only adds a personal touch but also reduces waste. Bed and Wardrobe White Set: A Stylish Addition Enhance the aesthetic appeal of your bedroom with a bed and wardrobe white set. The timeless elegance of white furniture not only brightens the space but also creates a cohesive and stylish look. Investing in quality bedroom furniture contributes to a well-rounded approach to strategic shopping. When selecting a white bed and wardrobe set, consider the design and functionality that aligns with your personal style. Opti for durable materials that withstand daily use, ensuring your bedroom remains a haven of comfort and style. The versatility of white furniture allows for easy integration with different decor themes, making it a smart choice for long-term satisfaction. Pallet Garden Furniture: A Trendy Outdoor Choice Extend your strategic shopping to outdoor spaces by considering pallet garden furniture. Pallet furniture has gained popularity for its rustic charm and versatility. From seating arrangements to planters, pallet furniture adds a trendy and sustainable touch to your garden or patio. Creating a cozy outdoor space involves not only selecting stylish furniture but also ensuring its durability against varying weather conditions. Pallet garden furniture, when treated and maintained properly, can withstand the elements. Consider adding weather-resistant cushions for both comfort and protection against the sun and rain. Maintenance Tips for Longevity To ensure the longevity of both your clothing and furniture, follow maintenance tips diligently. Proper care, storage, and occasional repairs can significantly extend the lifespan of your belongings. Treat your wardrobe and furniture as valuable investments that deserve attention. For clothing, follow care instructions on the labels, and store items in a cool, dry place to prevent damage. Regularly inspect your furniture for any signs of wear or damage, addressing issues promptly. Applying protective finishes to wooden furniture and periodically checking and tightening bolts on assembled pieces can contribute to their longevity. Staying Informed on Sales and Discounts Stay informed about sales and discount opportunities to make the most of your shopping budget. Sign up for newsletters, follow your favorite brands on social media, and be proactive in seeking out early bird sales. Being aware of promotions allows you to grab quality items at discounted prices. Online platforms often host exclusive sales, providing an excellent opportunity to snag deals on both clothing and furniture. Utilize price tracking tools and set alerts for specific items you have your eye on. Additionally, consider joining loyalty programs for additional perks and discounts. Building a Timeless Wardrobe Collection As we wrap up our exploration of strategic shopping, remember that building a timeless wardrobe collection is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the process of curating a collection that reflects your style, values, and practical needs. A well-thought-out wardrobe not only makes getting dressed a joy but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to fashion. Conclusion In conclusion, strategic shopping involves thoughtful consideration of both clothing and furniture choices. By investing in quality, staying informed about discounts, and embracing timeless styles, you can create a wardrobe and living space that withstands the test of time. FAQs How often should I update my wardrobe to stay in style?

Here's what our client had to say about this project which is taken from our review page: All Square has completed Phase 1 of an expected 3 phase whole house renovation of our lake home, and we are beyond thrilled with the results. We were demanding clients – my husband is an engineer by education and a program manager by profession, so he is very detailed, exacting and demanding. We solicited bids from 3 other general contractors before engaging All Square, but Micah Purvis won our confidence that he and his team could make our dream a reality. Micah is a master communicator, clear, detailed and pro-active in his approach to problems. We were very happy with all the All Square employees who worked on our job – Daniel and Austin were great and a pleasure to have around – but most especially Justin Solomon, truly a jack of all trades. If there is something Justin can’t do or a skill he doesn’t possess, we aren’t aware of it. Justin was as reliable as the sun, here first thing every morning, troubleshooting problems, dealing with all the sub-contractors and making invaluable structural and design suggestions that made the finished product all the better. I honestly miss having Justin around and our dogs miss him too! It is obvious that All Square has worked hard to identify and nurture relationships with quality tradesmen and a few of them really stand out for their superior work – Mike (stonemason), Jeremiah Cook (painter) and Michael Stewart (electrician). When we are ready to begin Phase 2 of the renovation, there is no doubt that we will call Micah and All Square to do the work. We are so happy with our renovation and grateful that we made the right decision to entrust our forever home to All Square.
