Wolfgang Pichler Design Inc.A vacant, worn office space should be transformed into a show apartment / showroom. The existing space had been used as an office structure since the 1960s. Located on the 4th floor of a ten-floor reinforced concrete skeleton, the area is already high enough to receive a great amount of light, which is particularly noticeable at dawn and dusk: sunrises and sunsets conjure up the most spellbinding blends of light.
The existing structure and also the technical equipment were completely outdated and needed to be completely rebuilt: suspended ceilings were removed and walls changed. The result is a modern city apartment of almost 100 m2 (about 1,070 sqft) – divided into a large living space, 2 rooms, 1 bathroom, 1 powder room and 1 utility room. The existing window facades could not be changed, but they are part of the concept anyway, namely to bring as much light as possible into the room. A controlled ventilation system ensures optimal air quality even with closed windows. The central kitchen element serves as a kind of separation of the living area and the dining area. Here customers and guests are served, people communicate, cook together, drink a glass of wine. Clients experience living.
The rough reinforced concrete ribbed slaps were uncovered and painted white to give the room more height, which is accentuated by the lighting concept with ceiling-mounted spotlights. The dark oak floor creates a successful contrast to the brightly designed rooms. The wittily positioned pedestal areas hide all technical elements, such as the supply air openings of the living room ventilation. Flush-fitting door elements in the walls with a chalked brick look show in detail the special feature of the room. The central wall elements were deliberately not pulled up to the ceiling, but are separated by a glass element to show the continuity of the construction.
Most of the furniture was designed by Wolfgang Pichler. Within the course of this project he was able to implement his holistic approach in the field of construction technology, architecture and furniture design and skillfully combine it with design classics. Scandinavian classics can be found in the concept just as much as pieces he collected during his career and furniture he developed for the company VITEO, which he founded in 2002. The project illustrates the added value of an architectural holistic approach.
Columbine Design - CLOSEDThe hardscape in a landscape is often the skeleton of a design, helping create the style and function of an outdoor space. Patios, outdoor fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, pathways, and retaining walls in a variety of materials can be every style from the most modern and contemporary to the traditional.
Studio 68/32Designing an object was accompanied by certain difficulties. The owners bought a plot on which there was already a house. Its quality and appearance did not suit customers in any way. Moreover, the construction of a house from scratch was not even discussed, so the architects Vitaly Dorokhov and Tatyana Dmitrenko had to take the existing skeleton as a basis. During the reconstruction, the protruding glass volume was demolished, some structural elements of the facade were simplified. The number of storeys was increased and the height of the roof was increased. As a result, the building took the form of a real English home, as customers wanted.
The planning decision was dictated by the terms of reference. And the number of people living in the house. Therefore, in terms of the house acquired 400 m \ 2 extra.
The entire engineering structure and heating system were completely redone. Heating of the house comes from wells and the Ecokolt system.
The climate system of the house itself is integrated into the relay control system that constantly maintains the climate and humidity in the house.

Gerarden Fabrication & DesignThis striking custom-fabricated credenza marries organic natural beauty with robust industrial strength. The defining feature of this piece is a breathtaking solid wood live-edge slab that flows seamlessly from the expansive countertop down the side in a continuous waterfall design, highlighting a dramatic natural split and rich, sweeping wood grain.
Supported by a heavy-duty dark steel skeleton frame, the console offers a balance of concealed and open storage. The front facade features beautiful solid wood cabinet doors meticulously encased in custom-welded steel frames. These framed doors flank a central open shelving section, making it an ideal statement piece for use as a high-end media center or a sophisticated dining room sideboard.
Fiorito Interior DesignIt’s rare when a client comes to me with a brief for a complete home from scratch, but that is exactly what happened here. My client, a professional musician and singer, was having a luxury three-story condo built and wanted help choosing not only all the hardscape materials like tile, flooring, carpet, and cabinetry, but also all furniture and furnishings. I even outfitted his new home with plates, flatware, pots and pans, towels, sheets, and window coverings. Like I said, this was from scratch!
We defined his style direction for the new home including dark colors, minimalistic furniture, and a modern industrial sensibility, and I set about creating a fluid expression of that style. The tone is set at the entry where a custom laser-cut industrial steel sign requests visitors be shoeless. We deliberately limited the color palette for the entire house to black, grey, and deep blue, with grey-washed or dark stained neutral woods.
The navy zellige tiles on the backsplash in the kitchen add depth between the cement-textured quartz counters and cerused cabinetry. The island is painted in a coordinating navy and features hand-forged iron stools. In the dining room, horizontal and vertical lines play with each other in the form of an angular linear chandelier, lighted acrylic light columns, and a dining table with a special faceted wave edge. Chair backs echo the shape of the art maps on the wall.
We chose a unique, three dimensional wall treatment for the living room where a plush sectional and LED tunable lights set the stage for comfy movie nights. Walls with a repeating whimsical black and white whale skeleton named Bruce adorn the walls of the powder room. The adjacent patio boasts a resort-like feeling with a cozy fire table, a wall of up-lit boxwoods, and a black sofa and chairs for star gazing.
A gallery wall featuring a roster of some of my client’s favorite rock, punk, and jazz musicians adorns the stairwell. On the third floor, the primary and guest bathrooms continue with the cement-textured quartz counters and same cerused cabinetry.
We completed this well-appointed home with a serene guest room in the established limited color palette and a lounge/office/recording room.

GMT Home Designs Inc.This 640sf backyard cottage with finished basement needed a roof raise to add height and storage to the 2nd floor primary bedroom space. The original space had very low knee walls, a tiny bathroom and limited closet space. This roof raise gave them a much better bedroom with an added balcony, a spacious closet with built in shelving and hanging space and a bathroom that includes a clawfoot tub and generous shower. We also added a bookshelf on the stairs with a custom ladder. Awesome transformation!

Allen's Fine Woodworking, Inc.This loft is part of a revitalization of a historic commercial building in the Pacific Northwest. The original concrete and masonry were preserved, giving the space so much character! The modernity of the cabinetry is the perfect complement to the industrial skeleton. The waterfall edge of the quartz counters keep the ultra-modern feeling going, and ring-side seating allows guests to comfortably enjoy the show.

Hsu McCulloughThe exterior entry from the street (to right) early in the evening. The lower walls are clad in charcoal-stained reclaimed wood placed vertically while the upper exterior walls are smooth stucco. A private entrance is created by offsetting the vertical aligned western red cedar timbers of the brise-soleil. The brise-soleil is formed with steel skeleton connected to the house as well as anchored into the ground. The offset wood screen (brise-soleil) creates a path between the exterior walls of the house and the exterior planters (see next photo) which leads to a quiet pond at the top of the low-rise concrete steps and eventually the entry door to the residence: A vertical courtyard / garden buffer. The lighting is integral to the steel handrail that climbs the steps. A pivot gate (shown in the opening position) lies at the first concrete landing. The run of steps is divided into three equal runs flanked on each side by Coral Bells and Philodendrons. The backside of the western red cedar screen glows at night and day as light graces the surface.
Verne Pershing, The Art of GardeningWe build a skeleton of drip hoses around and through the planting bed, rather than just run the hose from the first plant to the last. This way if a tube gets cut or broken, the water has a secondary path back to the plants.
