The new arrangement gave the cook much more usable counter space in addition to appliances that would work with her culinary skills. A large island and an opening to the living area gave her more ability to entertain guests. In addition an in-home elevator was added to the corner of the kitchen.

This unique contemporary wine room is an artistic showpiece in this private resident. Kessick partnered with Vineyard Wine Cellars in Dallas TX to produce this modern wine space. High gloss architectural casework houses the Elevate Wine Storage System for the ultimate wine storage display. This refrigerated wine room also incorporates Parallel wine hardware, a rolling library latter and comprehensive LED display lighting.

At the crux of this home addition and remodel was the need to create a fully accessible home that didn't feel institutional in any way. Even the home elevator is warm and inviting - servicing all the levels and garage.

The installation of this Elvoron Home Elevator allows the homeowner to easily access their rooftop deck. Elvoron Home Elevators are designed for residential homes and add value to your home and are comfortable, quiet, and reliable. They can be customizable with a variety of colors, finishes, and materials to suit any style, budget, or project.

This three-story mono-beam wraps around a full glass elevator, and what looks effortless required precision engineering. White oak treads and railing warm up the glass and metal, and the open design draws natural light through all three levels. The metalwork and elevator were powder coated at the same facility to ensure a perfect match, so the two read as one. The result is a striking balance of strength, transparency, and elegance — a true statement in vertical design. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

Beach style porch idea in Charleston

The Control/Shift House is perched on the high side of the site which takes advantage of the view to the southeast. A gradual descending path navigates the change in terrain from the street to the entry of the house. A series of low retaining walls/planter beds gather and release the earth upon the descent resulting in a fairly flat level for the house to sit on the top one third of the site. The entry axis is aligned with the celebrated stair volume and then re-centers on the actual entry axis once you approach the forecourt of the house. The initial desire was for an “H” scheme house with common entertaining spaces bridging the gap between the more private spaces. After an investigation considering the site, program, and view, a key move was made: unfold the east wing of the “H” scheme to open all rooms to the southeast view resulting in a “T” scheme. The new derivation allows for both a swim pool which is on axis with the entry and main gathering space and a lap pool which occurs on the cross axis extending along the lengthy edge of the master suite, providing direct access for morning exercise and a view of the water throughout the day. The Control/Shift House was derived from a clever way of following the “rules.” Strict HOA guidelines required very specific exterior massing restrictions which limits the lengths of unbroken elevations and promotes varying sizes of masses. The solution most often used in this neighborhood is one of addition - an aggregation of masses and program randomly attached to the inner core of the house which often results in a parasitic plan. The approach taken with the Control/Shift House was to push and pull program/massing to delineate and define the layout of the house. Massing is intentional and reiterated by the careful selection of materiality that tracks through the house. Voids and relief in the plan are a natural result of this method and allow for light and air to circulate throughout every space of the house, even into the most inner core.
