The elegance of the pool and spa is exemplified through the choice of white mini mosaic glass tiles, which in different lights shimmer with a pearlescent effect. The pool’s white marbelite interior lends a tint of light aqua which is the natural colour of water itself.

These floating stair treads showcase the warm, glowing tones of our Antique Elm, each step highlighting rich grain patterns and natural variation that bring real depth to this modern staircase design. Paired with sleek metal brackets and a cable railing system, the open floating design lets light pass through, giving the reclaimed wood an almost sculptural presence as it winds upward. Our Antique Elm is milled from barn timbers dating from 1820 to 1880, featuring unique marks such as wormholes, peg holes, and mortise pockets imparted by centuries old woodworking. Because of widespread Dutch Elm Disease in the 1970s, new Elm wood is nearly impossible to find, making reclaimed timbers the best option for its invitingly warm tones, bright tans, and light browns with a subtle red tinge that gives the wood an almost iridescent shimmer. Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner looking for a modern staircase with real warmth and history, Manomin Resawn Timbers has the Antique Elm stair treads to complete your design. Designers looking to pair reclaimed wood with clean, modern lines will find great inspiration in this floating stair design.

The signature design features a clean-lined pool with a shallow tanning ledge for sunbathing comfort. The pool's inviting blue tile interior is beautifully framed by crisp, wide white or light-toned coping, creating a bold contrast. The surrounding environment is characterized by a sleek mix of surfaces: lush, vibrant artificial turf is often used to create a colorful backdrop, segmented by geometric stepping stones of light-toned stone or concrete for a highly modern, structured look. Elevated water feature walls, finished with the same shimmering blue tile, introduce an element of drama, employing elegant sheer descent scuppers or waterfalls that cascade into the water, providing a constant element of soothing sound and motion. This collection epitomizes a sophisticated, multi-functional design, integrating dedicated luxurious zones for relaxation and entertaining into an elegant and beautifully contrasted outdoor haven.

In its 34th consecutive year hosting the Street of Dreams, the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland decided to do something different. They went urban – into the Pearl District. Each year designers clamor for the opportunity to design and style a home in the Street of Dreams. Apparently the allure of designing in contemporary penthouses with cascading views was irresistible to many, because the HBA experienced record interest from the design community at large in 2009. It was an honor to be one of seven designers selected. “The Luster of the Pearl” combined the allure of clean lines and redefined traditional silhouettes with texture and opulence. The color palette was fashion-inspired with unexpected color combinations like smoky violet and tiger-eye gold backed with metallic and warm neutrals. Our design included cosmetic reconstruction of the fireplace, mosaic tile improvements to the kitchen, artistic custom wall finishes and introduced new materials to the Portland market. The process was a whirlwind of early mornings, late nights and weekends. “With an extremely short timeline with large demands, this Street of Dreams challenged me in extraordinary ways that made me a better project manager, communicator, designer and partner to my vendors.” This project won the People’s Choice Award for Best Master Suite at the Northwest Natural 2009 Street of Dreams.

Hawksnest Villa marries modern architecture with luxurious but yet minimalistic interior design and thereby represents an extraordinary vacation home in the Caribbean.

This waterfront pool project in Beaconsfield reimagines a transitional backyard by fusing timeless warmth with crisp modern geometry. At its heart lies a custom concrete pool whose expansive beach entry pool—also known as a generous tanning ledge—slopes gently into the water, delivering the relaxed feel of a private resort. A frameless glass pool fence with low-iron panels preserves unobstructed lake vistas while ensuring safety, allowing the pool’s shimmering surface to merge visually with the open water beyond. Anchoring the far end of the basin is a dramatic outdoor fire feature that rises directly from the waterline. By day it acts as a sculptural focal point; by night the flames ripple across the water, transforming the space into a show-stopping luxury swimming pool experience. Every contour, drainage line, and equipment specification was shaped by Northstone’s in-house landscape architect design team and executed by our 180-strong crew of specialists, reinforcing our reputation as the go-to Beaconsfield pool builder for bespoke, high-end projects. Because Northstone is an entirely in-house design build firm, we streamline all stages—city permits, excavation, steel placement, shotcrete, and finishing—under a single roof. This turnkey approach distinguishes us among Montreal pool construction companies and ensures flawless craftsmanship in every pour. It is also why clients seeking a custom pool contractor to create a resort-style backyard consistently choose Northstone. That commitment to quality has earned us the #1 ranking for landscaping on bestinMTL.com and the top spot for pool design-build on bestmontrealservices.com. Our work has been showcased in Dwell, House & Home, the Montreal Gazette, and Living Luxe Magazine, underscoring our status as Montreal’s premier high-end pool company for luxury outdoor living on lakefront properties.
