From mid-century into a new century. An elegant element that never goes out of style. Check out http://thesofaco.com for more information on our draper sofa. Available in any sectional option you can think of.

In this mid-century track house we have removed the lawn, recontoured to the slope to capture rainwater and filled the space with herbs to be enjoyed in the kitchen, and colorful flowers to be enjoyed by birds, bees and other local insects. The traditional lawn can be transformed into a space that recharges our aquifers, and helps keep our oceans and waterways clean and healthy. Providing more biodiversity with our plantings provides habitat to local wildlife such as birds, bees and butterflies, allowing us to live with nature—not dominate it

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.

Picture a historic home with all its original charm, then imbued with modern elements and opulent touches to create a truly rich aesthetic. That’s the essence of Midnight Luxe — a kitchen where refined tastes and tradition meet bold statement pieces. A dark and moody monochromatic scheme is a dramatic backdrop for layers of heritage patterns and textures, shiny lacquered glazes, ornate veined stones, champagne golds and florals. It’s an sophisticated look that complements matte black Café appliances with flat black hardware (available in 2022). Brass and glass bistro shelving, candelabra-style chandeliers and custom floral mural are the bold choices of a homeowner who surrounds herself with her favorite things. The result is a space to recharge in style.

Electric Roller Shades are designed to remove glare and soften the view...yet still provide an expansive scene. They are timed to automatically roll down during peak sun times during the day. The TV console provides space for gaming remotes, a built-in center speaker and a hidden sub-woofer (with holes underneath to disperse sound). It also includes a drawer for remotes and electric accessed through grommets for rechargeables.

This project involved removing a failing deck and drainage system. Our construction crew installed a brand new deck with Azek Timbertech mahogany decking and their composite railing system with mahogany drink rail. This deck also included a hidden door system and slat detail around the base. We also plumbed a quick connect gas line to eliminate the client having to worry about filling grill tanks. Our landscape construction teams also installed a brand new drainage system around the entire property that will manage roof, gutter, and downspout water in conjunction with surface water. The system will collect all of the aforementioned and direct it to a recharge system located below grade. Provost Companies is a fully licensed and insured general contractor serving Canton, MA.

Onsite rainwater capture has become an issue of ever-increasing importance in semi-arid California, particularly as we realize the need to conserve water on a ongoing basis. This project employs the use of rainwater infiltration by diverting existing downspouts into a dry creek. Instead of being diverted into the storm drain system and wasted, the water is recharged back into the ground. Soils are able to hold the moisture and plant watering needs decrease. In addition to being functional, rock features such as dry creeks contribute to the aesthetic and create a beautiful contrast to the plant material.

To match the stunning architectural features of this modern property in Kirkland, we designed and installed massive steel retaining walls that when rusted will match the color of the cedar siding. With understated plant choices that ranged from grasses to evergreen trees, this landscape really tries to emphasize the level changes achieved by the large plates of steel. One of the goals of this project was to conserve water and help maintain as many native trees as possible. Kirkland Land Care installed a rubber sidewalk as requested by the city to allow for this magnificent London Plane Tree to grow. LED landscape lights and a permeable driveway with recharge sub grade were also installed to decrease the building's footprint.
