This contemporary kitchen design is a dream come true, full of stylish, practical, and one-of-a-kind features. The large kitchen is part of a great room that includes a living area with built in display shelves for artwork. The kitchen features two separate islands, one for entertaining and one for casual dining and food preparation. A 5' Galley Workstation, pop up knife block, and specialized storage accessories complete one island, along with the fabric wrapped banquette and personalized stainless steel corner wrap designed by Woodmaster Kitchens. The second island includes seating and an undercounter refrigerator allowing guests easy access to beverages. Every detail of this kitchen including the waterfall countertop ends, lighting design, tile features, and hardware work together to create a kitchen design that is a masterpiece at the center of this home.

It's Christmas in July! This homeowner was interested in adding an outdoor space that would be continuous with their indoor living area. The large windows that separate the 2 spaces allows for their home to have a very open feel. They went with a contemporary craftsman style with clean straight lines in the columns and beams on the ceiling. The stone veneer fireplace, framed with full masonry block, with reclaimed Hemlock mantle as the centerpiece attraction and the stained pine tongue and groove vaulted ceiling gives the space a dramatic look. The columns have a stacked stone base that complements the stone on the fireplace and kitchen fascia. The light travertine flooring is a perfect balance for the dark stone on the column bases and knee walls beside the fireplace as well as the darker stained cedar beams and stones in the fireplace. The outdoor kitchen with stainless steel tile backsplash is equipped with a gas grill and a Big Green Egg as well as a fridge and storage space. This space is 525 square feet and is the perfect spot for any gathering. The patio is surrounded by stained concrete stepping stones with black star gravel. The original second story windows were replaced with smaller windows in order to allow for a proper roof pitch. TK IMAGES

For this brick bungalow in the Druid Hills area of Atlanta, Red Level Renovations expanded the existing main level with a rear addition for an expanded kitchen and covered screen porch. And a new second level was added to provide the family a new master suite, guest bedroom, bath, laundry and seating area.

PHOTOGRAPHY Scott Espie Adding a second storey to their existing home proved a family friendly alternative to buying a bigger home in Auckland’s overheated property market.

This cool project reflected the homeowners’ fun personalities and distinctive sense of style. The remodel added a third bedroom to the second floor while also creating a new primary suite designed for comfort and retreat. To complete the transformation, updated exterior railings added fresh curb appeal and continuity between the inside and outside. The result is a second floor that’s both highly functional for family life and perfectly tailored to the homeowners’ vision.
