This is a custom kitchen design we remodeled the cabinets and countertops for. There are many unique features. There is a reduced depth cabinet with glass inserts. I can do different styles of glass and add in cabinet lighting for different styles. Also I love the coffee bar style enclosure next to the refrigerator. The tall cabinet on the end faces out and is a utility cabinet for brooms and cleaning supplies. The one left of the Refrigerator is a tall pantry closet that is full depth and roll out trays for organized storage. Overall this kitchen is functional and fits the clients style choices.

Here are some photos of a unique project we recently finished. We helped InTouch Credit Union salvage and reuse their existing flooring by creating a pattern with different colored carpet tiles and using the product that was removed during the remodel, along with some attic stock they had, to complete this project.
The existing carpet tile was discontinued and we had to make some magic happen to help the bank out. That's what Good Guys do!

The finished product with freshly painted CMU retaining walls, Lueder limestone wall caps and pavers, and a shallow, composite wood deck. All of which would be trimmed out with the use of some synthetic grass turf, drastically reducing the amount of yard maintenance that would be required.

The goal with this project was to create a functional kids’ bathroom for this family of five and the elegant master bath that their parents so deserve. The client was looking for classic, clean style but with unique details. In the kids’ bathroom, we did floor to ceiling shiplap on the walls and doors. We picked a textured porcelain for the floor tile to reduce slips! The master has herringbone Dolomite marble in two scales on the floor and shower floor, and we used the same Dolomite marble for the floor to ceiling feature wall. Both bathrooms feature custom vanities and modern polished chrome plumbing fixtures. The overall look is coastal, fresh and sophisticated.

We can say goodbye to clutter in this mudroom. This unique design not only adds a touch of style with its ventilated door, but also keeps our clients belongings fresh and odor-free. The open cubbies below provide easy shoe storage reducing the risk of tripping. Plus, let’s not forget the stunning contrast between the white oak bench top and the painted cabinets.

Doubling the size of a house takes a unique owner and unique house in a unique market. This house in the inner ring of suburbs around St. Louis could easily take the doubling of this house size (it was a small 2 bedroom house compared to others in the area), plus other homes in the area have already had significant additions to the rear of the original house. This design started as a craftsman or shingle styled home as suggested by the asymmetrically sloping roof that ties the 2nd floor to the front entry. The design would have been best suited with a stained wood siding or shake shingle siding, but the push for the large amount of square footage caused the need to reduce the cost of the exterior, resulting in white vinyl siding being used. A darker color vinyl would help lessen the abruptness of the change from a brick 1st floor to siding on the second.

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.
