This wheelchair-accessible bathroom remodel was designed to combine safety, accessibility, and a warm, residential aesthetic. The renovation features a spacious curbless walk-in shower with a smooth, low-barrier transition for easier wheelchair and mobility access. Natural pebble mosaic shower flooring provides texture and visual interest, complemented by large-format neutral stone-look tile for a clean, spa-inspired finish.
Accessibility features include strategically placed ADA-style grab bars, an adjustable handheld shower system, an easy-to-reach shower control, and an overhead rainfall showerhead. A recessed shower niche keeps bathing essentials conveniently accessible, while the glass-block window provides natural light and privacy.
The bathroom also incorporates an open wheelchair-accessible double vanity with generous knee clearance, vessel sinks, accessible plumbing configuration, and contrasting matte-black fixtures. Light gray walls, warm wood accents, neutral tile, and contemporary finishes create a comfortable bathroom that feels intentionally designed rather than institutional.

Stunning doors provide outdoor access to this spectacular underground wine cave.

For families that want a large square-footage with the convenience of one floor, this home encompasses all that is luxury one-story living. The massive utility area provides room for more than just washing clothes, while the screen porch with cathedral ceiling adds nice architectural detail. Growing families can transform the 498 sq. ft. bonus room into additional living room space or a playroom for the kids.
The master suite was designed to pamper. Featuring a rear porch, the master bedroom includes an easy way to access Mother Nature. From the cathedral ceiling, his-and-her walk-in closets and spacious master bath, the suite promotes indulgence. The home offers a total of 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, to meet the needs of family and overnight guests.
The open kitchen, breakfast and morning rooms become one giant open space. Cathedral ceilings and built-in shelves provide custom details in the morning room, while a fireplace and built-in cabinets accent the great room

A small front yard designed and constructed by Southern Landscape. Prior to construction, this short, steep slope up from the street was both an erosion and safety issue. The only access was down the steep driveway. Southern Landscape designed and installed a series of retaining walls to minimize erosion and a custom staircase to provide access to the street and mailbox.

Our client’s goal was to create a small, high-performance, healthy home for herself and her teenage son while providing a place for her father to age in place. An attached private accessory dwelling provides a space for him as well as flexibility in the future. The new home was designed to minimize its footprint on site, made smaller than the original 1930’s house.
Embracing adaptability and efficiency, the residence includes two dwellings: a one-bedroom 795 square-foot accessory dwelling at the lower grade and a two-story 1330 square-foot primary dwelling located above. Involved in all aspects of project execution, our client oversaw the process by living in a used trailer parked in the backyard throughout the project’s construction. Family-Share focused on maximizing the footprint’s performance, access to natural light and the health of the occupants. Sustainable features include high-performance glazing, solar preheat for domestic and hot water in-floor heating and reclaimed fir car decking rainscreen siding.

Not the most glamourous space in the garage, but the pull through opening provides easy access to the canal.

ZeroEnergy Design (ZED) created this modern home for a progressive family in the desirable community of Lexington.
Thoughtful Land Connection. The residence is carefully sited on the infill lot so as to create privacy from the road and neighbors, while cultivating a side yard that captures the southern sun. The terraced grade rises to meet the house, allowing for it to maintain a structured connection with the ground while also sitting above the high water table. The elevated outdoor living space maintains a strong connection with the indoor living space, while the stepped edge ties it back to the true ground plane. Siting and outdoor connections were completed by ZED in collaboration with landscape designer Soren Deniord Design Studio.
Exterior Finishes and Solar. The exterior finish materials include a palette of shiplapped wood siding, through-colored fiber cement panels and stucco. A rooftop parapet hides the solar panels above, while a gutter and site drainage system directs rainwater into an irrigation cistern and dry wells that recharge the groundwater.
Cooking, Dining, Living. Inside, the kitchen, fabricated by Henrybuilt, is located between the indoor and outdoor dining areas. The expansive south-facing sliding door opens to seamlessly connect the spaces, using a retractable awning to provide shade during the summer while still admitting the warming winter sun. The indoor living space continues from the dining areas across to the sunken living area, with a view that returns again to the outside through the corner wall of glass.
Accessible Guest Suite. The design of the first level guest suite provides for both aging in place and guests who regularly visit for extended stays. The patio off the north side of the house affords guests their own private outdoor space, and privacy from the neighbor. Similarly, the second level master suite opens to an outdoor private roof deck.
Light and Access. The wide open interior stair with a glass panel rail leads from the top level down to the well insulated basement. The design of the basement, used as an away/play space, addresses the need for both natural light and easy access. In addition to the open stairwell, light is admitted to the north side of the area with a high performance, Passive House (PHI) certified skylight, covering a six by sixteen foot area. On the south side, a unique roof hatch set flush with the deck opens to reveal a glass door at the base of the stairwell which provides additional light and access from the deck above down to the play space.
Energy. Energy consumption is reduced by the high performance building envelope, high efficiency mechanical systems, and then offset with renewable energy. All windows and doors are made of high performance triple paned glass with thermally broken aluminum frames. The exterior wall assembly employs dense pack cellulose in the stud cavity, a continuous air barrier, and four inches exterior rigid foam insulation. The 10kW rooftop solar electric system provides clean energy production. The final air leakage testing yielded 0.6 ACH 50 - an extremely air tight house, a testament to the well-designed details, progress testing and quality construction. When compared to a new house built to code requirements, this home consumes only 19% of the energy.
