Techplan house interior designed by STUDIO KONDE Konrad Idaszewski Architekt, combining contemporary architecture with a warm, carefully balanced interior. Project details: https://conde.pl/portfolio/gotowy-projekt-wnetrz-domu-techplan/ . The Techplan concept belongs to the Modelowedomy collection of three individually configurable houses and is defined by a modern flat roof and an open living space connecting the lounge, dining area and kitchen. For clients looking for an interior architect in Poznań, the project demonstrates how a generous open-plan layout can remain comfortable and clearly organized. Warm oak cabinetry, soft grey upholstery, dark accents and extensive glazing create a calm and sophisticated living environment. The restrained palette gives the interior a timeless quality. Carefully placed furniture and lighting define the individual functions without closing the space into separate rooms. A large sectional sofa in light grey-beige fabric occupies the foreground. Deep seats, broad cushions and generous proportions create a relaxed lounge arrangement. Several loosely positioned cushions add texture and a casual residential feel. In front of the sofa, two round coffee tables introduce a sculptural accent. Both have smooth light-coloured tops and cylindrical bases formed from a fine vertical lattice. Their different sizes create a layered composition over the dark textured rug. Facing the seating area, a large flat-screen television stands freely in front of the glazed façade. Two tall, narrow speakers flank the screen on minimalist white bases. This freestanding arrangement keeps the media zone visually light. It also leaves the garden visible through the windows behind it. Further inside, the kitchen is integrated into a wall of warm oak-toned cabinetry. Full-height timber fronts create a strong architectural backdrop. A dark stone backsplash with expressive light veining introduces a contrasting horizontal band. Concealed LED lighting runs along its upper edge and softly illuminates the work surface. Black pendant lighting adds another dark accent above the kitchen and dining zones. The dining area sits naturally between the kitchen and living room. A rounded table and softly upholstered chairs continue the neutral palette. Their curved silhouettes contrast with the linear cabinetry. Warm timber surfaces provide visual continuity between the two functional zones. Large glazed openings extend across the side of the living area. Mature trees, lawn and a white vertical fence are visible outside. Natural daylight emphasizes the grain of the oak cabinetry and the textures of the upholstery, rug and coffee-table bases. The resulting Techplan interior combines open-plan functionality with a refined material palette and a strong connection to the garden, reflecting the residential interior design work of STUDIO KONDE in Poznań.

Bridle Path Residence — Primary Bathroom Retreat This Bridle Path Residence primary bathroom is conceived as a private spa-like retreat, combining classical architectural detailing with contemporary fixtures, expansive glazing, and a highly restrained material palette. The design prioritizes serenity and natural light while maintaining the level of craftsmanship and visual refinement established throughout the residence. The room's strongest design feature is its relationship with the outdoors. A generous bay of windows brings the surrounding mature landscape directly into the bathroom, transforming the view into an important part of the experience. Daylight washes across the pale surfaces and enhances the sense of openness, making the space feel more like a private wellness suite than a conventional bathroom. The freestanding sculptural tub is positioned directly beside the windows, creating a deliberate moment of relaxation and emphasizing the connection between bathing and the landscape. Its smooth, organic silhouette contrasts beautifully with the architectural geometry of the room, while the polished floor-mounted faucet introduces a refined contemporary detail. The shower is treated as an architectural volume rather than simply a functional enclosure. Clear frameless glass preserves visual continuity across the room and allows the large-format wall surfaces and integrated shower niche to remain visible. The minimal hardware keeps the enclosure visually light and reinforces the clean, modern character. A striking element is the geometric floor design, where dark linear insets intersect across the pale stone surface to create a sophisticated diamond-like pattern. This introduces a graphic layer beneath the otherwise quiet palette and provides a subtle connection to the more traditional detailing found elsewhere in the residence. The custom vanity continues the home's tailored millwork language. White cabinetry, refined hardware, decorative supports, and integrated mirrors create a furniture-like composition rather than a generic bathroom installation. The large mirror amplifies the natural light and visually expands the room, while the sculptural upholstered stool adds softness and a touch of traditional glamour. The material palette is intentionally restrained: luminous white surfaces, pale stone, crisp millwork, polished metal, and touches of dark detailing. This restraint allows architectural form, daylight, and the surrounding landscape to become the primary sources of visual interest. Overall, the bathroom represents timeless luxury interpreted through a contemporary lens. Traditional millwork and geometric stone detailing provide character, while frameless glass, sculptural plumbing fixtures, and the freestanding tub introduce modern simplicity. The result is an elegant, highly personalized primary bathroom designed to feel restorative, spacious, and quietly luxurious.

Ever notice how your iron fence looks more rust than paint after another brutal Chicago winter? That is usually the moment homeowners start searching for a painting contractor who actually understands metal - not just someone who will brush a coat of black paint over active corrosion and call it done. At Windy City Painters, iron fence restoration is one of our most requested services on the North Side and Near West Side, and for good reason. These fences are old, they are beautiful, and they deserve a proper finish system. PROJECT OVERVIEW This project involved a full ornamental iron fence on a North Side greystone property. The fence was original to the building - likely installed in the 1910s or 1920s - and had gone through multiple paint cycles without any rust conversion work. By the time Windy City Painters arrived, the horizontal rails showed active pitting, the vertical spindles had surface rust under lifting paint, and two corner posts had minor joint separation. The homeowner wanted the fence restored to a sharp satin black finish that would hold through multiple Chicago winters. MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS Ospho Rust Converter - phosphoric acid formula that chemically neutralizes iron oxide and converts it to iron phosphate, a stable paintable surface. Used on all pitted and actively corroded areas before primer application. Rust-Oleum DTM Rust-Inhibitive Primer - direct-to-metal primer that bonds to both converted rust zones and bare metal, blocking moisture intrusion at the substrate level. Sherwin-Williams DTM Acrylic Topcoat - flexible, moisture-resistant finish formulated to expand and contract with metal through temperature cycling. Applied in two finish coats in satin black. For cases with deeper rust penetration, Corroseal Water-Based Rust Converter and Metal Primer is an alternative that combines conversion and priming in a single product, useful on complex ornamental profiles where two-product systems are harder to apply. THE PROCESS Step 1 - Mechanical Preparation. Windy City Painters wire-wheels all loose rust, flaking paint, and scale using angle grinders fitted with wire wheel attachments. On heavily pitted sections, needle gun descaling is used to reach rust in tight ornamental grooves. This step is non-negotiable. No coating bonds reliably to iron oxide, and skipping this step is the single most common reason iron fence paint fails within a year. Step 2 - Rust Conversion. Ospho is brushed into all pitted and bare metal areas and allowed to fully react. The surface shifts from orange to a grayish-black iron phosphate layer. This stable base accepts primer without the risk of rust migrating upward through the paint film over time. Step 3 - Primer Coat. Rust-Oleum DTM rust-inhibitive primer is applied full coverage over the entire fence surface, including areas that appeared clean but showed minor surface oxidation. DTM primer acts as a moisture barrier and mechanical adhesion layer for the finish coats. Step 4 - Finish Coats. Two coats of Sherwin-Williams DTM acrylic topcoat are applied in satin black, with adequate dry time between coats. The DTM formula remains flexible after cure, allowing the iron to expand and contract through Chicago temperature swings without the topcoat cracking or peeling at joints. CHICAGO-SPECIFIC CHALLENGES Ornamental iron on Chicago greystones, two-flats, and Victorian brownstones was almost never hot-dip galvanized. It was painted from installation and has relied on continuous paint maintenance ever since. Chicago winters add specific stress: freeze-thaw cycles force water into any paint film crack, expanding it; road salt spray elevates corrosive chloride exposure; and humidity during spring thaw keeps metal surfaces wet for extended periods. This combination accelerates rust spread beneath paint films that appear intact on the surface. WHAT TO EXPECT LONG-TERM A properly prepped and primed iron fence finished with a DTM topcoat system should hold 5-8 years in Chicago conditions before any touch-up is warranted. Annual inspection of joints, welds, and areas near grade level will catch early moisture entry before it becomes a larger rust issue. Windy City Painters recommends scheduling touch-up earlier rather than waiting for full paint failure to protect the prep investment. PRO TIPS Tip 1 - Address joint separation before painting. If fence rails have separated at welds or mechanical joints, water will enter and rust will restart from inside the connection point regardless of the exterior coating. Flag any separated joints for welding before any paint system is applied. Tip 2 - Never use latex house paint on iron fences. Standard exterior latex lacks the adhesion and flexibility for bare metal. Always use a product labeled DTM or specify a rust-inhibitive primer underneath any finish coat applied to iron. Tip 3 - Paint in late spring or early fall. Iron fences exposed to full sun in peak summer heat can reach surface temperatures that cause solvent-based coatings to blister during application. Ideal application conditions are 50-85 degrees Fahrenheit with low humidity and no direct intense sun on the metal surface. Learn more about iron fence painting cost in Chicago and schedule your free estimate at windypainters.com FAQ Q: What does iron fence painting cost in Chicago? A: Windy City Painters typically prices residential iron fence painting at $8-$18 per linear foot. Variables include rust severity, spindle density, ornamental profile complexity, and whether rust conversion products like Ospho or Corroseal are required before priming. Q: Can you paint over rust without grinding it off first? A: No. Windy City Painters always performs mechanical prep before any coating. Wire wheel grinding removes loose scale and flaking paint. Rust converters handle residual oxidation chemically. Skipping this step means the new paint film will delaminate within one season. Q: How do I know if my iron fence needs a welder before painting? A: Windy City Painters inspects all joints and rail connections during the estimate. Rail separation, cracked welds, or sections that flex when pressed indicate structural issues that should be welded before any paint system is applied to avoid reopening at stress points. Q: What is the difference between Ospho and Corroseal? A: Both are rust converters. Ospho is a phosphoric acid solution applied as a separate step before priming, giving maximum control over conversion and primer selection. Corroseal combines conversion and primer in one product, which works well on complex ornamental profiles where a two-step system is harder to apply evenly. Q: How long does the paint last on an iron fence in Chicago? A: With full mechanical prep, rust conversion, DTM primer, and two DTM topcoats, Windy City Painters clients typically see 5-8 years of performance before touch-up is needed, even through Chicago freeze-thaw cycling and road salt exposure. Q: Do you paint iron fences that are still structurally sound but heavily rusted on the surface? A: Yes. Surface rust, even heavy pitting, does not necessarily indicate structural failure. Windy City Painters evaluates each fence individually. As long as the metal is sound under the rust, proper mechanical prep and a rust converter restore the surface to a paintable condition.

This project was designed, and developed by Rhodes Architecture + Light while Josh Meharry was a team member. Constructed within a rare five acre plot of forested land in Bothell, this house design stemmed from an interest in both creating connections to the surrounding environment as well as carving out an area for communal gathering for this family of 6 to come together with their extended family, friends and community. In response to this desire, the main residence was broken into three separate structures arranged roughly into a “C” confirguration, which formed an inner courtyard where communal gatherings could take place that was adjacent to but felt distinct from the surrounding forest. All three structures support different uses for the residence, but all have views toward and open onto this inner court. Since the residence was located at the low point of a shallow ravine that runs through the site, the two side structures were built into the surrounding hillsides with boardformed concrete retaining walls that are exposed at both the interior and exterior of the house. The central structure that houses the main interior living spaces, bridges over a small stream that flows during the wet season, allowing the site’s natural drainage patterns to remain intact. The spanning portion of this central structure is supported off of two cast in place board-formed concrete chimneys, which also act to define the edges of the main interior spaces and include large double sided fireplaces. This central structure was designed to be very transparent to be as inviting as possible and provide views through the structure to the inner courtyard and into the forest beyond. The simple gabled forms are typical of traditional Pacific Northwest homes and cabins found in forested settings like this, and are preferred for their structural efficiency, and their ability to shed rain, snow and tree debris. The roof forms are vaulted at the interior as well, creating an increased sense of spaciousness. The exterior materials used are extremely durable and will remain maintenance free for many years, with corten standing seam metal roofs, corrugated pre-finished siding, exposed board-formed concrete and powder coated steel.

This open staircase is designed as a central architectural feature, connecting levels while maintaining visual openness throughout the home. Warm wood treads paired with a soft neutral carpet runner create a balance of comfort and refinement, while sleek black iron balusters and a natural wood handrail add contrast and structure. The vertically paneled wall enhances height and texture, drawing the eye upward through the space. From the staircase and upper landing, the foyer below remains fully visible, allowing the sculptural statement lighting fixture to be appreciated from multiple levels. This thoughtful connection between floors transforms the staircase into more than a passageway, making it an integral part of the home’s overall design experience.

This image highlights the open concept layout created during a full house renovation at a residence in the Kerrisdale neighbourhood of Vancouver, completed by Arani Construction Inc. A major structural modification was carried out to transform the original compartmentalized layout into a bright, connected living space. To achieve this open concept kitchen design, the existing wall separating the kitchen from the living and dining areas was completely removed. Structural beams were installed to properly support the load of the structure while allowing the space to remain open and visually connected. The renovation introduced a large quartz island with an integrated gas cooktop that now serves as the central workspace for the kitchen. Deep storage drawers are integrated into the island cabinetry, while a ceiling-mounted stainless steel ventilation hood provides effective airflow above the cooking area. With the structural wall removed, natural light from surrounding windows now flows freely between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. This structural upgrade significantly improved the functionality, circulation, and openness of the main floor within this Kerrisdale Vancouver home renovation.
