This bathroom was redesigned to improve accessibility, safety, and everyday comfort while maintaining a clean, timeless appearance. The project included a curbless walk-in shower, built-in bench, grab bars, custom shower niche, large-format subway tile, and a slip-resistant mosaic floor throughout the bathroom. The barrier-free design provides easier access and improved mobility, making the space ideal for aging in place while still feeling modern and inviting. The black accent details, custom bench, and classic tile selections create a functional bathroom that is both practical and visually appealing.

The backyard in this Dunwoody, GA residence presented several challenges, including failing cinder block walls, unsafe steps, and an aging deck. These issues rendered the space largely unusable and created drainage problems, limiting both safety and functionality for the homeowners. Our team addressed these issues by removing all existing structures and undertaking a comprehensive rebuild. This involved regrading the area for proper drainage, constructing new retaining walls, and installing integrated steps for safe access throughout the yard. Multiple paver patios were also installed to create defined entertaining areas. The outcome is a safe and highly functional outdoor living space in Dunwoody. The new retaining walls provide essential structural support, the drainage system manages stormwater effectively, and the integrated patios and walkways offer inviting areas for recreation and access.

Completed look of the shower valve wall. The shower valve and diverter were moved closer to the entry of the shower for easier accessibility. A new shower niche was installed to provide storage for shampoo and soap. The shower seat top is the same material as the countertops and was installed with a bullnose edge for comfort.

Branksome Road Set within a Bournemouth conservation zone; Branksome Woods provided the challenge of designing additional, modern space for a growing family whilst respecting sensitive contextual conditions. Footprint Architects responded by continuing the existing roofline across the property, providing an extra two bedrooms whilst also allowing the proposal to blend seamlessly with the properties existing form, whilst breathing new life into the look of the dated building. On the ground floor, the kitchen and dinning area were re-organised and extended out from the property in a brick form that exhibits views of the garden, with an alternative contrasting timber rear entrance to provide improved access to the house from the drive and garage. The design changes have transformed the quality and functionality of Branksome Woods, providing modern additional space, with a minimal impact on the surrounding context. The project was completed in November 2017.

Thick walls help provide a sense of safety and stability, and contain all of the utilitarian and storage spaces in the building, including cloaks cupboard, WC, storage, folding partitions, pantry, garden kitchen and chair store. A timber vaulted roof brings warmth and height to the spaces, and each room is illuminated by rooflights and provided with a view and access to gardens, including an entrance garden, sensory garden and kitchen garden.

The property is a functioning organic farm that supplies local food pantries. The dining area, master wing and screen porch additions now have direct views/access to the garden. The smaller bump out on the right provides storage for farming equipment.

Formerly the above garage children's play area/ "bonus room", this is the product of an extensive remodel. Space borrowed from adjacent areas rendered a larger room for the viewing of favorite films and concerts while providing easy access to refreshments.

This entry landscape includes a small hidden paver patio behind the shade tree. It provides a relaxing spot when the wind/sun can be overwhelming in the backyard patio area. It is hidden so as to not take away from the entry and the front door focal point. It is accessible from a door between the house and the garage and from the drive by the open garage door. S. Cox

A standard spice pullout located conveniently next to the range. Without wall cabinets near the range this is the most functional place to store spices and the pullout provides easy access

Here we see the expanded patio with improved access. Landscape lighting follows the walkway, and the sitting wall provides an inviting space.
