This is a goal for every project, but in this case, extra care by the interior designer who is one of the Owners is evident as you move through the interior and exterior spaces. Exterior wall materials include a combination of split face earth tone natural brick and an off-white stucco finish.

Light fixtures follow suit with an array of designs that can set different moods for each room.
It starts with the approach to a symmetrical front elevation that features an intimate entry porch with a hand-carved arched wood front door. One enters a main entry foyer that serves as a circulation spine for this 2-story home with 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 2 half baths. The square footage for the conditioned spaces is 7,045 sq ft and the total under roof square footage is 9,360 sq ft. The house rests on a sloping site that has an elevation drop of about 14’ with a pool and outdoor living area with views and access down the hill to a wooded area beyond.
As you move through the main foyer, you’re able to access a guest bedroom, office space, stair tower, intimate dining room, wine cellar and onto the living room with coffered ceilings featuring a parka patterned wood finish. The adjacent kitchen continues the unique detailing with a wood clad exhaust hood and a mix of white oak and painted cabinetry with a large island that seats 6. A breakfast area with banquette seating provides panoramic views to the patio and pool area. Easy access is offered to the outdoor living area that continues the interior finish theme and has a dining, cooking and sitting area with a fireplace that is the focal point.
The master suite features a well-placed bedroom with great views of the backyard. It leads to a master bath and large closet area that is well appointed with finishes and fixtures that set it apart from other bathroom spaces.
The second floor is divided into two areas, one over the main house with an added play area space. The other is above a 3-Car Garage which is designed to be a mancave/game room that has a large bar and features the one and only DJ booth where musical entertainment is taken to another level. Both provide plenty of views to the front and backyard areas of the site.

? Unveiling Our Biltmore Estates Masterpiece: A Traditional Mediterranean Paradise! ?

Welcome to five separate units of luxury living.
The residences at Greenleaf are the new standard for living the integrated lifestyle. While multiple systems control everything from lighting and powered windows, to custom wireless shades, the life of a Greenleaf resident iseasily controlled through their touchscreen interface.
A Single Interface – Unlimited Control
Greenleaf units are all controlled through an AMX system using an intuitive iPad user interface. With such a powerful system, residents are able to control their lighting, as well as powered shades and motorized windows through the simple touch of a button.
Intelligence in Technology
Thanks to automated sensors, residents are always in the know about their home and safety – whether at home or away. The control system monitors the weather and natural lighting to close powered windows if they need to be shut for incoming rain, and raise or lower shades automatically.
Lights can be set to turn on as any resident gets home from work late at night, welcoming them home after a long day away. While they are getting ready to head out for a night on the town, residents can listen to their favorite music throughout the home and call the elevator when they’re ready all from one spot.
Call stations allow you to always know who is at the front door, so having multiple guests over for dinner is easier (with less trips up and down the stairs). Remote, secure access allows the home owner to control their property from anywhere in the world and make sure everything is safe and sound.
Save Energy Without Lifting a Finger
Motorized shades can be raised and lowered automatically by the system according to weather and season for efficient light harvesting. Dimmers throughout the residences are set to a default turn-on of 80% for more energy savings. Residents can monitor their heating and cooling systems, as well as energy use, all from their touch pads at home or away.
Control that Disappears
At every Greenleaf residence your eyes focus on the luxurious design, not the state-of-theart technology that seamlessly controls it all. Spire collaborated to create custom solutions focused around an integrated lifestyle while maintaining the high-end design expected at the Greenleaf Trust building.

• Lutron RA 2 Lighting
• AMX control processors

Master Bathroom Remodeling in Maple Glen, PA: A Stunning Transformation by BMR Belmax Remodeling
At BMR Belmax Remodeling, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional remodeling services that combine elegance, functionality, and personalized design. One of our recent projects involved a master bathroom remodeling in Maple Glen, PA, where we transformed a dated bathroom into a luxurious retreat. This comprehensive bathroom renovation in Maple Glen, PA showcases our commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail, leaving our client thrilled with the results.
A Vision for the Perfect Master Bathroom
Our client envisioned a serene and modern master bathroom that would elevate the aesthetics and functionality of their space. They sought a design that offered a balance of contemporary style and practicality, incorporating sleek fixtures, premium materials, and improved lighting. We collaborated closely with the client to bring their vision to life, ensuring that every detail met their expectations. The result was a master bathroom that perfectly aligned with their lifestyle and design preferences.
Key Features of the Master Bathroom Remodel
Our team tackled every aspect of this master bathroom remodeling project with precision and care. Here’s a breakdown of the upgrades and improvements we completed:
1. Plumbing Reconfiguration
To accommodate the updated design, we reconfigured the bathroom’s plumbing to support a sleek, smaller vanity and a stylish freestanding bathtub. This change not only optimized the layout but also created a more open and inviting feel.
2. Upgraded Bathroom Fixtures
The client opted for high-quality bathroom fixtures to enhance the space’s overall look and functionality. We installed a modern bathtub faucet, a new toilet, and other premium fixtures that seamlessly complemented the updated design.
3. Enhanced Lighting and Electrical Work
Lighting was a crucial element of this remodel. We installed new electrical wiring to accommodate lighted mirrors, which added a touch of sophistication and practicality. Additional lighting was installed above the mirrors to ensure optimal brightness for daily grooming routines, and a new exhaust fan was added to improve ventilation and maintain air quality.
4. Large-Format Tile Installation
To achieve a luxurious and contemporary look, we used 24″x48″ large-format tiles for the walls in the bathtub area and on the flooring. These tiles created a clean, seamless aesthetic, with fewer grout lines to maintain and a striking visual impact. The client was particularly impressed with the elegance and durability of this choice.
5. Freestanding Bathtub Installation
A standout feature of this remodel was the addition of a stunning freestanding bathtub. Positioned as a focal point of the bathroom, it offered both aesthetic appeal and a relaxing space for unwinding after a long day.
A Seamless Process and Impressive Results
The project was completed in just eight working days, thanks to our efficient project management and skilled team of professionals. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, we ensured clear communication with the client to address their questions and keep them updated on progress.
Our streamlined process involved careful planning, precise execution, and meticulous attention to detail. This approach not only delivered a beautiful transformation but also minimized disruptions for the client, ensuring a stress-free remodeling experience.

In a recent project, D’Cassa had the honor of transforming key areas of Julián Gil’s Miami residence, enhancing the functionality and style of his dressing room, living space with a wall panel TV unit, and kitchen. This comprehensive renovation reflects our commitment to delivering bespoke living solutions that cater to the sophisticated tastes of our clients.
Sophisticated Dressing Room
The dressing room redesign focused on maximizing space while infusing it with elegance, resulting in a perfectly organized and stylish area. Custom storage solutions ensure every piece of attire has its rightful place, mirroring Julián’s refined style.
Modern Wall Panel TV Unit
The living area was elevated with the addition of a custom wall panel TV unit, blending seamlessly with the home’s contemporary aesthetic. This feature not only serves as a focal point but also offers functional storage, keeping the space clutter-free and visually appealing.
Chic Kitchen Overhaul
Julián’s kitchen received a complete makeover, tailored to meet his culinary needs while providing a stunning backdrop for daily life and entertainment. The space now features state-of-the-art appliances, custom cabinetry, and sleek design elements, making it both a chef’s dream and a central gathering spot.

We're thrilled to showcase our latest project in Oakland Ca. This full-bathroom remodel included a luxury shower renovation and grand tub installation.
From the opulent marble flooring and new cabinetry, to the modern fixtures and upgraded appliances, we used beautiful design and strong craftsmanship to bring this ultimate dream bathroom to life!

Embarking on the second phase of this renovation journey, Project Manager, George Griffin, and Designer, Justina Auer, seamlessly extended their collaboration to elevate this next space – the bathroom! As with the kitchen area, this was a small space where we strategically eliminated the soffits that made the room feel small and cramped. A reconfiguration of the layout saw the removal of the knee wall at the end of the tub, contributing to a more open and fluid spatial arrangement. The addition of a storage cabinet to the vanity ingeniously designed to house everyday bathroom essentials without compromising on the allure of the double bowl vanity. The generous sized mirror spanning both sinks not only serves a functional purpose but also cleverly conveys an illusion of a larger bathroom. The soft cream colors mixed with sandy beiges and warm tones give the new room a cozy and charming ambiance to the rejuvenated space. The harmonious blend of colors elevates the visual appeal and contributes to the overall comfort of the space. We loved working with these clients, and we’re looking forward to “raising the roof” with them on forthcoming projects in their home.

“Nestled on Sanctuary” in Chagrin Falls is a masterfully re-imagined 5,000 sq ft residence that elevates everyday living into an experience of curated elegance. The owners, after 18 years in their Mediterranean-style home, partnered with Ovation Interior Design and Otero Signature Homes to embark on a full-scale transformation. The vision: to honor the home’s architectural roots while layering in an airy, modern sensibility and bespoke craftsmanship.
At the heart of the remodel, the kitchen and breakfast room were merged into a cohesive hub featuring a sweeping curved porcelain island and a custom integrated banquette—rounded forms which ripple through the design narrative appearing in elegant arched openings, sculptural stair details, and gently curved furnishings. Luxurious materials anchor the palette—2 cm full-height quartz backsplash, a custom pewter-and-brass range hood—while richly textured, approachable finishes and layered lighting bring warmth and welcome.
Each space is custom-designed for how the clients live and entertain: bespoke cabinetry tailored to daily use, a dramatic color-washed hearth room, a brass-inlaid dry bar, and a statement egg-blue porcelain shower all create moments of surprise and personal imprint. The upstairs has been styled like a boutique-hotel guest suite, with intimate seating areas and thoughtful details such as Ralph Lauren sconces in the kitchen. The result is a home rooted in rhythm, reflection and refined comfort—luxurious without being austere, opulent yet lived-in.

These wonderful clients returned to us for their newest home remodel adventure. Their newly purchased custom built 1970s modern ranch sits in one of the loveliest neighborhoods south of the city but the current conditions of the home were out-dated and not so lovely. Upon entering the front door through the court you were greeted abruptly by a very boring staircase and an excessive number of doors. Just to the left of the double door entry was a large slider and on your right once inside the home was a soldier line up of doors. This made for an uneasy and uninviting entry that guests would quickly forget and our clients would often avoid. We also had our hands full in the kitchen. The existing space included many elements that felt out of place in a modern ranch including a rustic mountain scene backsplash, cherry cabinets with raised panel and detailed profile, and an island so massive you couldn’t pass a drink across the stone. Our design sought to address the functional pain points of the home and transform the overall aesthetic into something that felt like home for our clients.
For the entry, we re-worked the front door configuration by switching from the double door to a large single door with side lights. The sliding door next to the main entry door was replaced with a large window to eliminate entry door confusion. In our re-work of the entry staircase, guesta are now greeted into the foyer which features the Coral Pendant by David Trubridge. Guests are drawn into the home by stunning views of the front range via the large floor-to-ceiling glass wall in the living room. To the left, the staircases leading down to the basement and up to the master bedroom received a massive aesthetic upgrade. The rebuilt 2nd-floor staircase has a center spine with wood rise and run appearing to float upwards towards the master suite. A slatted wall of wood separates the two staircases which brings more light into the basement stairwell. Black metal railings add a stunning contrast to the light wood.
Other fabulous upgrades to this home included new wide plank flooring throughout the home, which offers both modernity and warmth. The once too-large kitchen island was downsized to create a functional focal point that is still accessible and intimate. The old dark and heavy kitchen cabinetry was replaced with sleek white cabinets, brightening up the space and elevating the aesthetic of the entire room. The kitchen countertops are marble look quartz with dramatic veining that offers an artistic feature behind the range and across all horizontal surfaces in the kitchen. As a final touch, cascading island pendants were installed which emphasize the gorgeous ceiling vault and provide warm feature lighting over the central point of the kitchen.
This transformation reintroduces light and simplicity to this gorgeous home, and we are so happy that our clients can reap the benefits of this elegant and functional design for years to come.

We reused the existing elevator shaft for a stair. When we removed the elevator platform from the shaft we discovered we couldn't get it out of the building so we re-purposed it as seating area. Andrew Lee

The name of this project says it all. It is a home with materials, elements and details that are assembled in a modernist style that all have purpose and meaning to the Owners. This is a goal for every project, but in this case, extra care by the interior designer who is one of the Owners is evident as you move through the interior and exterior spaces. Exterior wall materials include a combination of split face earth tone natural brick and an off-white stucco finish. The interior finishes are a combination of stone tiles, various soft toned wood patterned finishes, wall coverings and fabrics, etc. that all give each space its own personality. Light fixtures follow suit with an array of designs that can set different moods for each room.
It starts with the approach to a symmetrical front elevation that features an intimate entry porch with a hand-carved arched wood front door. One enters a main entry foyer that serves as a circulation spine for this 2-story home with 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 2 half baths. The square footage for the conditioned spaces is 7,045 sq ft and the total under roof square footage is 9,360 sq ft. The house rests on a sloping site that has an elevation drop of about 14’ with a pool and outdoor living area with views and access down the hill to a wooded area beyond.
As you move through the main foyer, you’re able to access a guest bedroom, office space, stair tower, intimate dining room, wine cellar and onto the living room with coffered ceilings featuring a parka patterned wood finish. The adjacent kitchen continues the unique detailing with a wood clad exhaust hood and a mix of white oak and painted cabinetry with a large island that seats 6. A breakfast area with banquette seating provides panoramic views to the patio and pool area. Easy access is offered to the outdoor living area that continues the interior finish theme and has a dining, cooking and sitting area with a fireplace that is the focal point.
The master suite features a well-placed bedroom with great views of the backyard. It leads to a master bath and large closet area that is well appointed with finishes and fixtures that set it apart from other bathroom spaces.
The second floor is divided into two areas, one over the main house with an added play area space. The other is above a 3-Car Garage which is designed to be a mancave/game room that has a large bar and features the one and only DJ booth where musical entertainment is taken to another level. Both provide plenty of views to the front and backyard areas of the site.
