Upon entering this studio oasis, one is met with an elegant but compact office area. This design made the most sense proportionately and functionally, as the desk is sleek and doesn’t take up too much space but offers somewhere (tucked out of view) to rest papers, keys, and other smaller items we tend to leave around.

When our client bought this house, it was stuck in limbo between the traditional interior and a 90's modern structure.
The direction we took was a combination of calm beige color scheme with clean lines and smooth surfaces.
The continuation of the same materials throughout the house finally bonded all the different spaces into a singular home.
The two guest bathrooms were made with Cloe zellige style tiles and custom floating vanities made from white oak.
The same oak was used also for the built-in TV wall as floating shelves and base cabinets with a large, tiled center piece for the recessed TV and the electric fireplace.
The kitchen also received some of the white oak love in the form of the Island and the recessed cooking area.
The biggest issue with the kitchen space was the lack of proportions between the width and its length vs. the extreme height of the vaulted ceiling.
The solution I came up with was a secondary line of wall cabinets to be the same depth as the full height units to create a wrap around and make the space more proportionate.
Continuing to the master bathroom, here we have a true walk-in master bath suite, no door needed with this size of space.
All the walls received porcelain semi slab treatment. (72x36 porcelain tile) a lot of work went into selecting the correct tile pieces to give it the effect of a single slab installation but without the added cost.
All fixtures are by Kohler with their fantastic modern gold finish.
The result was a perfect flow of calm beige colors and warmth of natural wood throughout.

The basement bathroom of this 1975 split level needed some updating. The homeowner had found a few inspiration photos and a great natural stole tile that she wanted to use in the bathroom. we used the color variation of the stone to select the rest of the materials for the space. the existing bathroom had a small fiberglass shower and a linen cabinet at the back. we tore all of the of that out and installed a new larger tiled shower with a custom niche, grey pebble floor tile and rain textured glass panel. The toilet and vanity remained in the same location, but we shrunk the size of the vanity to make it more proportionate to the room. the new vanity was installed with a granite top, a natural stone tiled backsplash that continued to the ceiling, a coordinating mirror and square brushed nickel sconces.

Two walls were removed to connect family space with this comfortable Craftsman Style kitchen. Recessed, tri-panel quarter sawn white oak doors with inset framing and barrel hinges, and quality craftsmanship all compliment the functional design. The mid-room divider, complete with posts and header were created to conceal a structural beam. Thru-tennon joinery and proportionate custom made corbels and posts were skillfully crafted to complete the look.

1960s enclosed kitchen with peninsula turned into an open kitchen to enjoy the beautiful views of the East Bay hills. We used gray cabinets and a full cathedral ceiling rather than a single-plane cathedral to modernize this kitchen and make it more proportionate to humans.

Our Clients came to us with a desire to renovate their home built in 1997, suburban home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The owners wished to create some individuality and transform the exterior side entry point of their home with timeless inspired character and purpose to match their lifestyle. One of the challenges during the preliminary phase of the project was to create a design solution that transformed the side entry of the home, while remaining architecturally proportionate to the existing structure.

If you have a large room with smaller windows, then your perfect solution might be to extend your custom window treatments beyond the window - perhaps even covering the entire wall. This will help your small windows appear more proportionate to your large room.

Mantle tops that support large posts or columns will stick out further from the wall. But the legs should stay proportionate in size.

The primary bath now feels more proportionate and timeless, but not too traditional, with a free-standing tub, dramatic floor tiling and a spacious double vanity.
