Two sisters inherited this home in Torrance, CA. and wanted to start the home’s remodel with a new kitchen. They are passionate cooks who enjoy taking the occasional class to sharpen their skills. They were looking for a chef’s kitchen focused on efficiency. Professional grade appliances were required for them to achieve this effect. The glass backsplash is a mosaic tile in black and white. The flooring is marble with an inlay border. The new homeowners wanted a butler’s pantry and built in Thermador espresso machine for their new space. The peninsula offers seating for guests as they cook. The project includes a 54 inch stainless steel vent hood complete with backsplash and shelving.

A striking modern transitional front elevation pairs twin steep gables in split-face grey stone with warm, thermally modified hemlock wrapping the porch and upper band. Black Pella windows, matching CHI garage doors, and iron-grey Hardie lap siding sharpen the palette, while a granite paver walkway, layered plantings, and a manicured lawn deliver polished curb appeal.

Perlick's 15" Signature Series Refrigerated Beauty Drawers are perfect for the storage of natural personal care products, beverages and other items in the master bathroom suite. Energy Star qualified, the drawers feature fully integrated depth to allow a flush fit with surrounding cabinetry. The drawers feature commercial-grade stainless steel interiors, are odor free and accept wood overlays.

Transforming a standard suburban backyard into a multi-functional entertainment hub, this project focuses on the perfect balance of recreation and relaxation. We designed and installed a professional-grade synthetic turf putting green with custom contours and multiple pin placements, allowing the homeowner to sharpen their short game just steps from the back door. The project is anchored by a sprawling stamped concrete patio that seamlessly integrates a custom-built stone fire pit finished with reflective fire glass. To define the space, we utilized hand-carved stone seat walls and a natural river rock border for superior drainage and aesthetic texture. From the cedar pergola for shaded lounging to the precision-cut stone masonry, every detail was crafted to create a sophisticated, low-maintenance sanctuary for hosting and play.

A low side view focuses on the black island cabinetry, broad drawer fronts and discreet gold tab pulls. The pale countertop and warm wood flooring sharpen the contrast with the dark base. This cabinet detail shows the clean proportions and generous drawer storage built into the kitchen island. The Hurdy Estates renovation in North York, Toronto, by Cedarstone Group Inc. opened the bungalow by removing a central load-bearing wall. New flooring, refreshed interiors and glass stair railings connect the kitchen, dining and living areas.

Inspiration for a small cottage l-shaped light wood floor eat-in kitchen remodel in Burlington with raised-panel cabinets, beige cabinets, concrete countertops, black backsplash and an island

Tucked away in the backwoods of Torch Lake, this home marries “rustic” with the sleek elegance of modern. The combination of wood, stone and metal textures embrace the charm of a classic farmhouse. Although this is not your average farmhouse. The home is outfitted with a high performing system that seamlessly works with the design and architecture. The tall ceilings and windows allow ample natural light into the main room. Spire Integrated Systems installed Lutron QS Wireless motorized shades paired with Hartmann & Forbes windowcovers to offer privacy and block harsh light. The custom 18′ windowcover’s woven natural fabric complements the organic esthetics of the room. The shades are artfully concealed in the millwork when not in use. Spire installed B&W in-ceiling speakers and Sonance invisible in-wall speakers to deliver ambient music that emanates throughout the space with no visual footprint. Spire also installed a Sonance Landscape Audio System so the homeowner can enjoy music outside. Each system is easily controlled using Savant. Spire personalized the settings to the homeowner’s preference making controlling the home efficient and convenient.
