The primary bath’s custom medicine cabinet and vanity are connected and almost fully installed. This combined standalone piece was designed by Studioteka with trusted millwork collaborators Capri executing the fabrication, and our wonderful builders Tumen assisting on electrical and plumbing. The cabinet has three doors, with hidden 170° soft close hinges, and mirror on both sides to allow for profile views in a variety of configurations at the client’s request. A beautiful Kuzco light fixture has been seamlessly integrated into the piece above the mirrors. The vanity will have the same integrated (and very tactile!) pull detail that we’ve developed for the doors and drawers on the other custom pieces we’ve created for the home. This piece was designed to incorporate a lot of storage, both inside as well as on open shelving along the wall, and the lower cabinet has a pull out tray for easy access. We even left room for a beloved antique upholstered seat at the counter for the client’s morning beauty and wellness routine. No stone was left unturned on this fantastic project, which we’ve developed with a lot of love. Stay tuned for more updates as we push towards the finish line!

Significant progress is evident in crafting this beautiful coastal-themed kitchenette. The white, wood-grain cabinetry immediately creates a light, airy foundation, perfectly setting the stage for a serene coastal aesthetic. A key design element is the designated space for a panel-ready dishwasher. This allows for seamless integration of a custom cabinet panel, blending the appliance flawlessly with the surrounding cabinetry. This maintains the clean, uninterrupted lines crucial for a sophisticated coastal design and achieves a truly built-in, cohesive look. While the air fryer's specific placement isn't explicitly visible, its integration in a modern coastal kitchen can be achieved smartly. Options include a dedicated appliance garage with a retractable door to keep it out of sight, a sturdy pull-out shelf in a base cabinet for easy access, or even stylish open shelf integration for frequent users, ensuring it aligns with the overall coastal decor. The clear, possibly beach glass , cabinet knobs further enhance the coastal vibe, resembling sea glass and adding subtle charm. The microwave is already installed, suggesting the upper cabinetry is nearing completion. Next steps will involve countertop installation, which will further define the space, and the integration of the custom dishwasher panel. This thoughtful customization, particularly for appliances, ensures this kitchen will be both visually stunning and highly practical for modern living.

The site is located on the Mitchell House preparatory school campus in Polokwane. The client's brief called for an early childhood development centre which would accommodate 122 learners and requested that the building be evident of it's young and playful users. Curiosity, wonder and intrigue would become defining criteria in an attempt to create a conducive learning environment for young learners to grow, a building where children would be encouraged to interact with their environment. The construction methodology of the building would remain apparent, allowing its users to analyse the assembly of components. Due to the age group of the users, the building would need to function semi-autonomously from the rest of the school, while allowing for controlled interaction and inclusivity as is the norm for Mitchell House. A linear plan which coincides with the developmental progress of the learners was identified as the appropriate building typology. The spatial constraints of the site required this plan to be moulded into the available space between the existing infrastructure, however the linear process was maintained. From the access-controlled reception and administration area one would move past the creative arts and exhibition space towards the Northern wing where the youngest learners are taught. These would share connected ablutions and storerooms between classes to enable fluid movement and assistance throughout the teaching and service spaces. The East wing of the centre would house the elder learners who would be in the process of being integrated with the fabric of the main school campus. These classrooms include storage areas, however, have separate ablution facilities. The two wings of the building surround a courtyard where play and interaction are in abundance.

Humble home. Actually this is our family great room -a passive sunroom on the northern prairies in a midsized city. My beginnings -my thesis built - in a time of great environmental innovation and progression before good access to many choices of materials and during a shortage of trades. Still on time and on budget! My northern clients suggested I show a home with materials available to the northerners at a reasonable cost. This is a humble home. This 1998 urban country home is a passive solar Universal Designed home. It was a thesis actually successfully built by Northridge Homes within budget and on time. This is the great room and a few photos of the master suite. The ceiling is a scissored vault: essential for the active clay soil movement. The landscaping and cross breezes keep it cool in the summer. Winters are cozy with the sun heating the home until suppertime. Halls are wide and bathrooms accommodate wheelchair use. 3 generous bedrooms are on this level. The kitchen is designed for family cooking together and the space allows for some good dance moves in the kitchen. The outdoors and indoors flow barrier free. The full basement includes a tornado shelter, huge teen suite downstairs, large full bath with enclosed tub, large open living space, media centre and hidden media operation room and large design studio. It is unintentionally feng shui compliant too. The house was fully wired for electronics. The fully landscaped yard features brick driveway and large patio, a parking pad tucked into the shrubbery, fire pit, veggie garden, and xeriscape plantings. The year round compost management was featured in the Prairie Edition of Gardens West. I miss this home! It was designed to capture the sun and really worked well for our active family life indoors and out.
