While respecting the history and architecture of the house, we created an updated version of the home’s original personality with contemporary finishes that still feel appropriate, while also incorporating some of the original furniture passed down in the family. Two decades and two teenage sons later, the family needed their home to be more user friendly and to better suit how they live now. We used a lot of unique and upscale finishes that would contrast each other and add panache to the space.

This main room became the game room, as this home will serve to entertain guests as well as the family. A built in bar in the walkway beyond, it's the perfect place for a pool table, dart board and a large TV. A quad of swivel chairs can focus on conversation, the TV, the fireplace or game watching. A custom game table was commissioned from re-claimed barnwood, as well as a bar rail for placing drinks on when playing pool. The dart board was made custom with the family's name, and is enclosed in a handmade cabinet that serves as piece of art. The sideboard was purchased to hold board games and the coffee table has hidden drawer storage for cards and remotes.

This is a commercial building sitting empty. The owner asked for a design to house a collection of memorabilia, cars and games.... We designed the space to reflect a retro gas station with a poker room speakeasy inside. The upper bridge was expanded to create a VIP box area to watch the big games and action below. The creation of the Gasoline Alley was to house the collection of games and have activities down a created 'Alley' complete with brick walls, graffiti, owners gas station signage displayed, an Abbey Road walkway, faux blacktop with road stripping and string lights above.

This single family home sits on a tight, sloped site. Within a modest budget, the goal was to provide direct access to grade at both the front and back of the house. The solution is a multi-split-level home with unconventional relationships between floor levels. Between the entrance level and the lower level of the family room, the kitchen and dining room are located on an interstitial level. Within the stair space “floats” a small bathroom. The generous stair is celebrated with a back-painted red glass wall which treats users to changing refractive ambient light throughout the house. Black brick, grey-tinted glass and mirrors contribute to the reasonably compact massing of the home. A cantilevered upper volume shades south facing windows and the home’s limited material palette meant a more efficient construction process. Cautious landscaping retains water run-off on the sloping site and home offices reduce the client’s use of their vehicle. The house achieves its vision within a modest footprint and with a design restraint that will ensure it becomes a long-lasting asset in the community. Photo by Tom Arban
