Finding quality reclaimed wood is another story. Not only is it not always an apples to apples comparison, but sometimes it’s apples to prunes. Carolina Timberworks maintains relationships with a select group of quality reclaimed wood suppliers, among them Revient Reclaimed Wood. What’s most important to us? Not only must the timber meet our standards, but we need it delivered when promised so we can meet the time commitment we’ve made to our client”. Eric Morley, Carolina Timberworks “I built my home almost entirely from wood obtained from Revient, LLC. They supplied the timbers, the flooring and cabinet lumber as well as the exterior and interior walls. Where the walls are painted, I did not use reclaimed wood, but it is everywhere else. Revient had everything I wanted and I am extremely pleased with the product.”

Nestled into the woods of Center Valley, the Polk Valley Homestead has been passed down through generations. The young family living there now quickly outgrew the small kitchen that was tucked into the back corner of the house. A large, 9’ x 15’ addition was added onto the house to make way for a new, expansive kitchen. The addition, completed by Erwin Forrest Builders, was thoughtfully planned to stay in proportion to the home and to also retain the character of the exterior by using stone sourced from the property itself. As collectors of fine furniture, the homeowners had a great appreciation for tiger maple. A local cabinetmaker was enlisted to build reproduction antique tiger maple furniture pieces featuring hand-planing, hand-pegging, and barrel hinges and hardware from Horton Brasses. The painted perimeter cabinetry by Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry provides a beautiful backdrop for the gorgeous soapstone from Bucks County Soapstone. The new space is one that the family can gather in for many more generations. Matt Villano Photography

This narrow galley style primary bathroom was opened up by eliminating a wall between the toilet and vanity zones, enlarging the vanity counter space, and expanding the shower into dead space between the existing shower and the exterior wall. Now the space is the relaxing haven they'd hoped for for years. The warm, modern palette features soft green cabinetry, sage green ceramic tile with a high variation glaze and a fun accent tile with gold and silver tones in the shower niche that ties together the brass and brushed nickel fixtures and accessories, and a herringbone wood-look tile flooring that anchors the space with warmth. Wood accents are repeated in the softly curved mirror frame, the unique ash wood grab bars, and the bench in the shower. Quartz counters and shower elements are easy to mantain and provide a neutral break in the palette. The sliding shower door system allows for easy access without a door swing bumping into the toilet seat. The closet across from the vanity was updated with a pocket door, eliminating the previous space stealing small swinging doors. Storage features include a pull out hamper for quick sorting of dirty laundry and a tall cabinet on the counter that provides storage at an easy to grab height.

This sleek hi-rise remodel more than 30 stories up in the air was a challenge in both design and materials. Flooded with intense natural light and open to sweeping urban views during the day, the kitchen quickly becomes dark and inward at night, relying solely on artificial light. Designer Matthew Rao suggested a large island that would encompass the prep and cleanup zones, the surface cooking area, and dining surface for four. This island has dining room storage on the rear. The layout, with a tall wall of concealed refrigeration, wall ovens, and loads of pantry storage, keeps the clients facing the view and each other rather than looking toward the wall, where the cooking was before. Designers Suzanne Williams and Rao concurred that a gloss midnight grey finish was what the room needed, reflecting light at night to create a deep and expansive feel, and reflecting the high rises across the street into the clients' kitchen. SieMatic Cabinetry is full of organizational features, while Gaggenau appliances give the home chef in this couple amazing culinary capabilities and superior aesthetics at the same time. Every drawer is fitted in SieMatc's Multimatic dividers. The aesthetic simplicity of the kitchen design allows special Italian linear LED lighting in the ceiling to become both its own design element as well as a flexible functional light source. And the living space at one end and dining space at the other do not feel overtaken or overshadowed by the kitchen.

Rodwin Architecture & Skycastle Homes Location: Boulder, CO, United States The homeowner wanted something bold and unique for his home. He asked that it be warm in its material palette, strongly connected to its site and deep green in its performance. This 3,000 sf. modern home’s design reflects a carefully crafted balance between capturing mountain views and passive solar design. On the ground floor, interior Travertine tile radiant heated floors flow out through broad sliding doors to the white concrete patio and then dissolves into the landscape. A built-in BBQ and gas fire pit create an outdoor room. The ground floor has a sunny, simple open concept floor plan that joins all the public social spaces and creates a gracious indoor/outdoor flow. The sleek kitchen has an urban cultivator (for fresh veggies) and a quick connection to the raised bed garden and small fruit tree orchard outside. Follow the floating staircase up the board-formed concrete tile wall. At the landing your view continues out over a “live roof”. The second floor’s 14ft tall ceilings open to giant views of the Flatirons and towering trees. Clerestory windows allow in high light, and create a floating roof effect as the Doug Fir ceiling continues out to form the large eaves; we protected the house’s large windows from overheating by creating an enormous cantilevered hat. The upper floor has a bedroom on each end and is centered around the spacious family room, where music is the main activity. The family room has a nook for a mini-home office featuring a floating wood desk. Forming one wall of the family room, a custom-designed pair of laser-cut barn doors inspired by a forest of trees opens to an 18th century Chinese day-bed. The bathrooms sport hand-made glass mosaic tiles; the daughter’s shower is designed to resemble a waterfall. This near-Net-Zero Energy home achieved LEED Gold certification. It has 10kWh of solar panels discretely tucked onto the roof, a ground source heat pump & boiler, foam insulation, an ERV, Energy Star windows and appliances, all LED lights and water conserving plumbing fixtures.
