This is an example of a traditional partial sun backyard landscaping in Seattle for summer.

The design of this home was driven by the owners’ desire for a three-bedroom waterfront home that showcased the spectacular views and park-like setting. As nature lovers, they wanted their home to be organic, minimize any environmental impact on the sensitive site and embrace nature.
This unique home is sited on a high ridge with a 45° slope to the water on the right and a deep ravine on the left. The five-acre site is completely wooded and tree preservation was a major emphasis. Very few trees were removed and special care was taken to protect the trees and environment throughout the project. To further minimize disturbance, grades were not changed and the home was designed to take full advantage of the site’s natural topography. Oak from the home site was re-purposed for the mantle, powder room counter and select furniture.
The visually powerful twin pavilions were born from the need for level ground and parking on an otherwise challenging site. Fill dirt excavated from the main home provided the foundation. All structures are anchored with a natural stone base and exterior materials include timber framing, fir ceilings, shingle siding, a partial metal roof and corten steel walls. Stone, wood, metal and glass transition the exterior to the interior and large wood windows flood the home with light and showcase the setting. Interior finishes include reclaimed heart pine floors, Douglas fir trim, dry-stacked stone, rustic cherry cabinets and soapstone counters.
Exterior spaces include a timber-framed porch, stone patio with fire pit and commanding views of the Occoquan reservoir. A second porch overlooks the ravine and a breezeway connects the garage to the home.
Numerous energy-saving features have been incorporated, including LED lighting, on-demand gas water heating and special insulation. Smart technology helps manage and control the entire house.

This home was originally built in the late 19th century. It was converted to a boarding house and used for this purpose and then divided into separate apartments for more than 100 years. Our owners restored it to its original intent and update the finishes on the interior and exterior. This home is in the Ridge Federal Historic District and protected by the local Historic Preservation Board.

A continuous severe weather and hailstorm threatened Capsher Technologies which is a large software development firm, causing roof failure and flooding. We covered the entire 43k sqft. roof in under 24 hours. Their multilevel commercial flat roof was struck with record-breaking-sized hail during severe weather that lasted for several days. The impacts penetrated the entire College Station roofing assembly, allowing water to enter and begin flooding the building. Protecting sensitive equipment and their production work became priority number one on our commercial roofing priorities list.

Protect all sensitive areas:
Cover carpet, baseboards & wood flooring
Grinding
If the marble surface has deep scratches or unevenness, grinding may be employed. This involves using abrasive materials to level the surface and remove imperfections.
Honing:
Honing follows grinding and involves the use of progressively finer abrasives to achieve a smooth and matte finish. This step helps eliminate minor scratches and prepares the surface for polishing.
Polishing:
A multi-stage polishing process is applied to the marble, using polishing compounds and tools to bring out the natural shine. This step enhances the reflective qualities of the marble, giving it a glossy appearance.
Repair:
Any chips, cracks, or damage to the marble are addressed during this phase. Technicians use fillers and adhesives that match the color and composition of the marble to restore its structural integrity.
Sealing:
A high-quality sealant is applied to protect the marble from future stains, spills, and damage. Sealing helps maintain the restored appearance and facilitates easier cleaning.

Looking for revitalized perspective in their own backyard, our clients chose to stay in their neighborhood and renovate bottom to top, enlisting Moore Design Group to reimagine and transform their average home into an inspiring and restorative sanctuary.
Stairs and unwanted soffits were removed, walls reconfigured, fireplaces and their surrounds re-invented, and architectural elements redefined. Beautiful hardwoods were featured in custom designed cabinetry and niches. Wide plank European oak replaced carpet, newly fabricated porcelain countertops were installed throughout, and sculptural light fixtures were hung in cavernous spaces, highlighting new outlooks. Our client’s preference for simple yet sophisticated style enabled us to set the tone by creating an elegant backdrop for a new collection of fine art and sculpture, which quietly takes center stage.
More than just a surface renovation, our scope ensured that our clients’ environmental sensitivities were the driving force behind all decisions to reduce and eliminate known allergens and protect indoor air quality. Zero-VOC paints were used, a nontoxic, water-based finish was applied to natural wood cabinetry and floors, and custom upholstery was made from fire-retardant-free foams and FSC-certified woods, eliminating harmful chemicals from the home without sacrificing a trace of design.

Shade sails provide shade from the hot Florida sun allowing homeowners to enjoy their hot tubs comfortably no matter what time of day. The sails also prevent the hot tub surfaces from being ruined constant exposure to destructive UV rays. Sails are especially good for protecting those with sun sensitivities.

here are two seperate units in neopolitain bamboo. The unit with the dark espresso back and floating shelves has an electronic TV lift. Sensitive electronic components are protected by heat sensitive fans that draw hot air out of the cabinet and are completely silent. They only operate from 88 degrees when the inside of the cabinet is too warm.

.1. Surface Protection:
Begin by carefully protecting all sensitive areas surrounding the marble surfaces to prevent any unintended damage during the restoration process. This may involve covering adjacent surfaces, walls, or fixtures.
2. Grinding to Remove Stains & Scratches:
Employ precision grinding techniques to address stains and scratches on the marble surface. This step involves the use of specialized tools and abrasives to level the surface and eliminate imperfections.
3. Polishing to a High Sheen:
Follow the grinding phase with a meticulous polishing process. Utilize progressively finer polishing compounds and pads to enhance the marble's natural shine, achieving a high-gloss finish. This step not only minimizes scratches but also brings out the inherent beauty of the stone.
4. Sealing with 2 Coats of Sealer:
Seal the restored marble surfaces with two coats of high-quality sealer. The sealer creates a protective barrier, guarding against future stains and damage. Ensure even and thorough coverage to maximize the effectiveness of the sealer.
This straightforward process outlines key steps to rejuvenate marble surfaces, addressing both aesthetic and protective aspects. It's a systematic approach that combines precision in addressing imperfections with a focus on enhancing the overall appearance of the marble.
