Interior Painting: A very inviting effect is achieved by carrying the same color scheme from the front entrance through to the sitting room and hall. The light beige paint also enlarges the space creating even more openness.

After four years of searching for the perfect spot, this avid golfer stumbled upon a unique solution - Azenco's R-Blade adjustable louvered roof pergola! This innovative structure was designed to provide both protection and accessibility for a high-tech golf simulator within an outdoor environment. It is also much more cost effective than renovating existing structures or building home additions costing upwards of $500K.

The chance to build a lakeside weekend home in rural NC provided this Chapel Hill family with an opportunity to ditch convention and think outside the box. For instance, we traded the traditional boat dock with what's become known as the "party dock"… a floating lounge of sorts, complete with wet bar, TV, swimmer's platform, and plenty of spots for watching the water fun. Inside, we turned one bedroom into a gym with climbing wall - and dropped the idea of a dining room, in favor of a deep upholstered niche and shuffleboard table. Outdoor drapery helped blur the lines between indoor spaces and exterior porches filled with upholstery, swings, and places for lazy napping. And after the sun goes down....smores, anyone?

Baulinder Haus is located just a few houses down from a landmark Kansas City area home designed by Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer. Baulinder Haus draws inspiration from the details of the neighboring home. Vertically oriented wood siding, simple forms, and overhanging masses—these were part of Breuer’s modernist palette. The house’s form consists of a series of stacked boxes, with public spaces on the ground level and private spaces in the boxes above. The boxes are oriented in a U-shaped plan to create a generous private courtyard. This was designed as an extension of the interior living space, blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Floor-to-ceiling south facing windows in the courtyard are shaded by the overhanging second floor above to prohibit solar heat gain, but allow for passive solar heating in the winter. Other sustainable elements of the home include a geothermal heat pump HVAC system, energy efficient windows and sprayed foam insulation. The exterior wood is a vertical shiplap siding milled from FSC certified Machiche. Baulinder Haus was designed to meet and exceed requirements put forward by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for their Indoor airPLUS qualified homes, and is working toward Energy Star qualification. Machiche and steel screening elements provide depth and texture to front facade.

While we've been trained to see trees as fire dangers, there are places in which they can serve to protect our homes. This line of trees is at a defensible distance from the home's roof. It serves as a first line of defense to "catch" flying embers before they can reach the roof. It also provides delightful shade to the patio and mulched path that traverses the elevated property line. Photo: Lesly Hall Photography
