"Jacquard-woven rug with a rectangular shape, made from mixed cotton and chenille yarns with plush effect and featuring a close net of triangles in the shades of sky blue on a light grey background. The pureness and rigour of classic geometry laws turn into a decorative pattern drawing inspiration from the origami Japanese paper, reinterpreted in a modern twist thanks to the colour palette recounting spaces and times of contemporary living. Apotema finds its best expression if matched to furniture with light finishes. APOTEMA belongs to CODE, the range of extra-ordinary, ironic and amazing accessories designed by young, talented Italian designers.

Winter Wainscot Lincoln, MA Builder: D.B. Schroeder & Co. Inc. Cabinetmaker: Walter Lane, LLC design: Tim Hess and Jeff Dearing for DSA Architects Interior Design Collaborator: Tricia Upton Interiors Photographer: Greg Premru Photo Stylist: Stephanie Rossi This project started small, with the clients’ desire to remodel the existing kitchen. When our analysis of the existing conditions revealed the extent to which the house’s many previous additions had failed to enrich each other or unify the whole, the scope of work bloomed to include extensive renovations throughout the first floor. We’ve sought to bring a cohesion and clarity to this already commodious house quite beautifully sited. Much of the design attention in this project was focused on meetings and overlaps. The autonomy and dignity of individual spaces was restored with the creation and use of interstitial spaces; the spaces between. The doorway between kitchen and dining becomes a display pantry and wet bar, the entry foyer is framed with a narrower opening, and the way to the Living Room is re-shaped with a paneled deep jamb. The story is recounted in the January / February 2013 edition of New England Home.

Living room in The Bluff's guest house is a great place to relax and recount the day's activities on the lake.
Example of a mountain style living room design in Austin

A new kitchen-breakfast suite was created by combining 5 small rooms, removing all the interior walls, adding a modest amount of square footage and weaving in an extraordinary steel superstructure, we doubling the interior kitchen space and created a new kitchen where the family celebrates cooking, sharing meals and recounting the days events together. Further expanding the kitchen space, by extending an existing covered porch and screening the newly doubled exterior space, we physically connected the new kitchen and enlarged screen porches with a 10 foot wide folding NANA wall door assembly to further enlarge the family living space during temperate months, creating an indoor-outdoor family space which has become the center of family life in the home. At the first floor we also created a new kitchen vestibule and powder room as a transition space between the new kitchen suite and the old house, we created a new second floor bath and added a laundry, garage and utility/storage at the ground level, all connected by a new naturally lit wood staircase.

Collections. Wood. Twill. Sardinian marble is enchanted by wood’s charm: it explores its textures and patterns, translating them into unusual chromatic experiences. Design reinvents its warmth, its inviting prospects and cozy sensations, giving rooms timeless appeal. Stone shows itself to be a living material and surprises with its innate strength and eons-old identity. Collections. Glamour. Jungle. Soft shapes and luxurious ambiences. Marble reveals a new soul in the markings perfectly etched on its surface: zebra, crocodile and serpent evoke exotic climes. Sardinian stone is reborn, rediscovers its history and sets a trend: design language recounting an unforeseen personality each time.

Family and friends and time spent together is central to many of the pieces we build and spaces we design. Bunk rooms are a great example, recounting the day's adventures, late night conversations, snoring uncles, these are some of the memories that last forever. Bunk rooms built from barn wood and reclaimed have that solid comfortable feeling that allow your guests to unwind, unplug and enjoy.

Nestled in the culinary hearts of several Singaporean homes were kitchen cabinets crying out for revival. The Pro-Handy team responded with the "Revive & Thrive" initiative, a detailed venture dedicated to restoring the former glory of weary kitchen storage units, turning sagging shelves and creaking doors into the pride of the kitchen. Each kitchen narrated a different story and presented unique challenges - from aged hinges whispering tales of frequent use, to water-damaged wood recounting incidents of spills and overflows. Our specialists embarked on each repair odyssey with a keen diagnostic gaze, identifying issues imperceptible to the untrained eye. The restoration process was an artful orchestration of carpentry, painting, and restructuring. Loose screws were tightened, lost fixtures replaced, and unhinged doors respectfully repositioned. Where the wood was beyond repair, our craftsmen seamlessly integrated new, high-quality materials, ensuring consistency with the original aesthetics. But the project transcended mere repairs. It was about reinvigorating a space of warmth and family memories. The team maximized functionality through minor adjustments, optimizing storage space without compromising the kitchen's original charm. The culmination saw cabinets standing tall - sturdy, functional, and rejuvenated. "Revive & Thrive" concluded with clients reacquainting themselves with their transformed kitchen spaces. The Pro-Handy touch had not just repaired but also breathed new life into each kitchen, reigniting the joy of cooking and the comfort of gathering in a space not just restored, but truly revived.
