A cabin in Western Wisconsin is transformed from within to become a serene and modern retreat. In a past life, this cabin was a fishing cottage which was part of a resort built in the 1920’s on a small lake not far from the Twin Cities. The cabin has had multiple additions over the years so improving flow to the outdoor space, creating a family friendly kitchen, and relocating a bigger master bedroom on the lake side were priorities. The solution was to bring the kitchen from the back of the cabin up to the front, reduce the size of an overly large bedroom in the back in order to create a more generous front entry way/mudroom adjacent to the kitchen, and add a fireplace in the center of the main floor.

Chef Acheson and his team recently installed GIK Acoustics sound absorption panels in his Atlanta restaurant, Empire State South which was named Restaurant of the Year by Atlanta Magazine in 2011. The restaurant definitely draws a crowd, and that crowd can be quite boisterous. Acheson and his staff knew the space needed a bit of fine tuning and turned to GIK Acoustics to help reduce the noise and provide a calmer, quieter dining experience. We stepped in with two dozen custom Spot Panels which were placed along walls, hallways and hung horizontally from the ceiling. Using complimentary Aquamarine and Chocolate fabrics, the panels virtually disappear from view, but the results are effective and noticeable.

A cost effective alternative, dramatically reduces labor and installation costs. Enhance your outdoor living environment with ResinKast Cabinets, Ceilings, Ventilation Hood Covers, Pergolas and Columns. The carefree elegance that is not only beautiful but functional. Combining proven all-weather materials such as high-density polyurethane, PVC polymer board and stainless steel, All Seasons’ outdoor cabinets and built-in kitchen appliances are engineered to resist damage from the sun, snow, rain, saltwater and extreme high and low temperatures. ResinKast® faux wood panels simulate the look and texture of real cypress wood, and matching elements such as ceiling panels, columns, posts and trim moldings create an ambiance that makes the distinction between yard and home irrelevant.

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.

Cool Paint is a paint roof cover that absorbs the warmth of the sun to keep the roof and the surrounding area cooler. The roof lasts longer and the temperature in the interior is more comfortable. Once the service is implemented, it starts to pay for itself. Cool Paint is weather-resistant and non-dissolvent. The cooling effect has a value (measured according to ASTM E1980) of SRI (Solar Reflectance Index). The SRI value of Cool Paint is 89. Therefore, a Cool Paint covering is 72% of sunlight and returns 87% of the heat to the atmosphere rather than the underlying air. Most solar heat reduces the difference in the roof temperature between day and night, summer and winter. The roof's lifetime is extended by constantly lower temperatures.

A water feature can serve as a stunning focal point, and the sound of moving water has a peaceful effect. The sound of babbling water can be calming, and serves to reduce noise pollution from nearby traffic.

This photo was taken from inside the chapel, looking towards the new master bedroom doorway. The old entrance was located right between the two highback chairs in the hallway. We struggled with just how to finish the opening around the bedroom door because we wanted to highlight the very unusual wall finish in the chapel. Architect Martina Lorey came up with the brilliant solution of reducing the door jamb to half its width, then creating a bullnose effect in the plaster that would wrap around the door opening. It was difficult to match the existing finish, but it was a fantastic addition to the project...the proverbial "icing on the cake" if you will. This photo was taken prior to installation of the new step up into the doorway. Crew: Richard Solis, Josh Johnson, Dez Arnold and Tom Ruth. Photo by ProBilt Construction LLC.
