Time had stood still at this 1970s ranch in Armonk when the owners invited us to collaborate with them to transform it into a modern, light-filled home for their young family. The budget was lean, so economy was a primary consideration for every design decision. The challenge was to identify the modest home’s virtues – vaulted ceilings and a lovely backyard – and accentuate them by strategically optimizing available funds. We were tasked with rectifying a dysfunctional interior stair, connecting to the outdoors with new large windows, and updating the exterior. We focused our attention on a finite set of architectural moves which would have the biggest impact and improve our clients’ daily experience of the home. Detailing was kept simple, using common grade materials and standard components. All exterior walls were revamped with new windows and siding. Although these materials were not particularly costly, thoughtful layout of boards, battens, and openings produced a cohesive, rigorous composition at each facade. Since the budget would not cover the homeowners’ complete wish list, some items were bracketed for subsequent phases. The challenge was to establish a framework that would allow future work – including a new roof and kitchen renovation – to proceed smoothly. The homeowners, both scientists, were enthusiastic collaborators, contributing their outstanding design sensibilities to selection of fixtures and finishes. Construction ended just in time for the arrival of their baby – and with that, the transformation of their family home was complete.

The Commodore Way residence in Seattle, WA overlooks Salmon Bay just west of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks. It is a modern three-story home built on a large 8,000 square-foot sloping vacant lot. The four-bedroom, three and a half bath, 4,000 square-foot home, including basement and attached garage, responds to the topography and orientation of its property. Inspired by the amazing view of Salmon Bay and the Olympic Mountains beyond, the primary living spaces are located on the top level taking full advantage of the view. Deck projections extend the indoor living experience to the view to the north. A sloped shed roof over half of the structure opens up to that view as well. The other portion of the roof allows for a generous roof deck extending the exterior space of the home and its fantastic view. The basement is flexible allowing for a variety of uses: playroom, den, art studio or mother in law dwelling.

Roof and Gutter Installation in Charlotte When Joshua Tetner contacted Triumph Roofing, he needed a comprehensive solution for his home in Charlotte. His roof and gutters had sustained significant wear over the years, and it was time for a complete upgrade. Joshua sought a professional team to handle the project efficiently while keeping the process clear and straightforward. The estimated cost for the project was $16,000. We recommended a full roof and gutter installation to restore the functionality and appearance of his home. Joshua appreciated the detailed project breakdown provided by Yuriy, one of our skilled professionals, who worked closely with him to ensure every aspect of the installation was understood and approved. Professionalism at Every Step From the start, Yuriy guided Joshua through the entire process. He walked him step by step through the installation plan, costs, and payments, ensuring there were no surprises along the way. Yuriy also worked directly with Joshua’s insurance company to facilitate claims, saving time and reducing stress for the client. This level of service set the foundation for a seamless project experience. The Installation Process On the scheduled day, our team began by removing the old, worn-out roofing and gutter system. We installed a new, durable roofing system designed to withstand Charlotte’s weather conditions and added high-quality gutters to ensure efficient water drainage. Yuriy remained on-site often, inspecting the work and its progress, ensuring every detail met Triumph Roofing’s high standards. Our expert crew completed the project efficiently, leaving Joshua with a home that was both protected and visually refreshed. The combination of a new roof and a state-of-the-art gutter system enhanced the home’s durability and curb appeal. Client Feedback Joshua shared his experience with glowing words: "Yuriy and Triumph Roofing were awesome to work with. Yuriy was very professional and walked through everything step by step, breaking down installation and cost/payments from both sides. He worked directly with my insurance company to help facilitate the process, which was extremely helpful. The work was excellent, and Yuriy was on-site often, inspecting the work and its progress, making sure it was being done as I expected. Thanks, Yuriy, for a job more than well done!!" This project highlights Triumph Roofing’s commitment to providing high-quality roof and gutter installation services in Charlotte.

The Shoshone residence is envisioned as a monumental limestone volume that will house an eclectic collection of art and sculpture. The project examines unique lighting conditions throughout the day by utilizing a series of curved light scoops to direct and filter the illumination. These light scoops vary in size and shape in order to materialize a distinct set of experiences throughout the residence.
