In one of Naples’ most exclusive waterfront neighborhoods, the owners asked for a solution that would raise the barrier without changing the home’s resort-like curb appeal. We installed the GIZAGIZA HEART crown almost around the entire property, tying into stucco garden walls, gate piers, and frosted-glass driveway gates. The low, matte profile reads like a thin shadow line from the street yet removes grips, footholds, and hook points along the whole boundary—perfect for an estate with visible security and privacy needs.

This 2,000 square foot modern residential home is designed to optimize living space for a family of four within the modest confines of inner suburban Calgary. Deploying a structural beam and post framed design, this home creates the feeling of space through an open-plan layout and high vaulted ceilings. Large windows on both floors accentuate the open, spacious feeling. The extensive use of standing seam metal cladding in Steelscape’s Slate Gray adds texture and distinct shadow lines while contributing to the modern aesthetic. This versatile color enables the unique integration between roof and siding surfaces. The muted hue also complements and accentuates the use of natural stained wood leading to a cohesive, memorable design.

One of the interior walls features 15-in. deep pantry storage flanking 60-in. wide of base storage, the counter with 6-in. beaded board to the ceiling, together with a shelf. Counter flushes out with the flanking tall cabinets, which adds detail with mitered baseboard below. More work? Yes. But it offers more detail, shadow lines ... and just looks good. :)

Complete siding replacement project featuring Double 4.5" Encore Dutch Lap siding in Natural Clay, selected for its classic profile and long-lasting performance. The Dutch lap design adds subtle shadow lines, giving the home a more dimensional and upscale appearance. Our team handled full removal of the existing siding, proper surface preparation, and precision installation to ensure durability and weather resistance. Attention to detail was key throughout the project, especially around trim, corners, and transitions. All existing shutters and exterior moldings were carefully reinstalled, maintaining the home’s original architectural style while enhancing its overall look with the new siding color and finish. The finished result is a clean, modernized exterior with improved curb appeal and long-term protection.

Double-height stair void of a ground-up new construction home in the Berkeley Hills, CA, as featured on America ByDesign on CBS. The folded ceiling plane - the defining architectural gesture from which the Fold House takes its name — is most clearly expressed in this interior shot. Two birch plywood ceiling planes meet at a diagonal crease above the stair void, one horizontal and one angled, the junction creating a precise dark shadow line that animates the upper volume. Full-height steel-framed glazing at the stair landing frames an unobstructed panoramic view of the Berkeley Hills neighborhood, East Bay flatlands, San Francisco Bay, and Marin headlands beyond.

This client’s high ceilings created the perfect backdrop for J & K White Maple Wall Cabinets with added crown molding to create a beautiful shadow line in this Shadyside kitchen remodel. Jeffrey Court Fresh White Subway tile grace the backsplash, countertops are Peppercorn Quartz and Marazzi Glazed Porcelain Ceramic tile covers the floors. The wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed and we were able to design a custom peninsula using J & K cabinets in Java Coffee creating additional storage, eating and entertainment space.

This casual, beach feel is brought to the backyard. Guests enjoy the outdoors under the comfort of the shade provided by the covered porch. The sleek modern black fan has a simple shape with straight blades and provides welcome air movement on a hot day. Round speakers in the ceiling provide music throughout. The crisp, white, horizontal siding and white beams contrast against the natural knotty pine beadboard ceiling for a warm casual feel. The siding is not lapped siding. Instead the outer surface of the siding is straight up and down without an angle. This simple profile along with the clean shadow line give the home a modern feel - thus updating it from the traditional coastal shingle style.
