Contemporary exterior home idea in Seattle

Inspiration for a mid-sized southwestern u-shaped vinyl floor and brown floor kitchen remodel in DC Metro with recessed-panel cabinets, light wood cabinets, quartz countertops, yellow backsplash, ceramic backsplash, a peninsula and gray countertops

The plan was to have a private entrance through the kitchen. The existing back section was actually an enclosed porch that had been added years earlier, but without a proper foundation and it displayed unstable groundwork and poor construction. The decision was made and executed to tear it down and rebuild a structurally solid outer framework to house the new kitchen.

This Project was loads of fun and challenging... the clients allow me to use creative concepts to cosmetically hide obstacles such as heat trunks, jogged foundation walls and steel columns. The large solid maple serving wet bar was hand crafted and lounge fireplace wall where off set with one another. We wanted them to look and feel to be adjoining space yet still define the game table and media space to be its own. Although it was all one large open space, we tied the entire space together by the ceiling work and boxed a steel post to mimic the finishes of the wet bar. Simple concept but meticulously planned and executed!

This home features concrete interior and exterior walls, giving it a chic modern look. The Interior concrete walls were given a wood texture giving it a one of a kind look. We are responsible for all concrete work seen. This includes the entire concrete structure of the home, including the interior walls, stairs and fire places. We are also responsible for the structural concrete and the installation of custom concrete caissons into bed rock to ensure a solid foundation as this home sits over the water. All interior furnishing was done by a professional after we completed the construction of the home.

The new stone stairway has a geometrical curve and regularity that allows much easier access between the upper and lower landscaped areas. The material is quartzite and was chosen for its flatness as well as its resistance to freeze damage. The stonework is built on top of a concrete and steel foundation. The spectacular railing is made of African Mahogany. The posts were securely installed onto deep concrete footings with stout brackets. The railing had to be built in place to make sure that the curve was perfect. The result is a very beautiful and solid railing. In some light it looks like the helical railing is just floating in place. It is quite a surprise to grab onto this apparently floating railing and feel its solidity.

In this project we executed a full renovation, starting with demolition of the old finishes and infrastructure. We installed new electrical and plumbing systems, upgraded the framing where needed, and prepared the space for modern finishes. Every stage was handled with precision and coordination, ensuring that the job stayed on schedule and on budget. This step represents the foundation of the project — creating a solid, safe, and clean base for the final installation of cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes.

This project has three components, which is all built differently. The main house is a waterfront property at the bottom of a steep cliff. All machine and materials are delivered by barge. Concrete is pumped from the top of the cliff down to the bottom with a 400ft line into a boom pump which was delivered by barge. Due to the challenging access to the site, most of the structural backfill is actually Styrofoam (EPS) backfill. The garage is built from the top of the cliff, with a 27ft tall foundation wall. We needed to excavate to solid bedrock in order to adequately anchor the foundation into the hillside. This tall foundation wall are 10″ thick with a double grid of rebar to retain approximately 350 cu yards of fill. Styrofoam backfill was also used. A funicular (tramway) is also being built on this project, which required it’s own building permit. Image by Ema Peter Photography

Home office library - small mid-century modern built-in desk light wood floor and white floor home office library idea in Chicago with multicolored walls and no fireplace

The design of this home was driven by the owners’ desire for a three-bedroom waterfront home that showcased the spectacular views and park-like setting. As nature lovers, they wanted their home to be organic, minimize any environmental impact on the sensitive site and embrace nature. This unique home is sited on a high ridge with a 45° slope to the water on the right and a deep ravine on the left. The five-acre site is completely wooded and tree preservation was a major emphasis. Very few trees were removed and special care was taken to protect the trees and environment throughout the project. To further minimize disturbance, grades were not changed and the home was designed to take full advantage of the site’s natural topography. Oak from the home site was re-purposed for the mantle, powder room counter and select furniture. The visually powerful twin pavilions were born from the need for level ground and parking on an otherwise challenging site. Fill dirt excavated from the main home provided the foundation. All structures are anchored with a natural stone base and exterior materials include timber framing, fir ceilings, shingle siding, a partial metal roof and corten steel walls. Stone, wood, metal and glass transition the exterior to the interior and large wood windows flood the home with light and showcase the setting. Interior finishes include reclaimed heart pine floors, Douglas fir trim, dry-stacked stone, rustic cherry cabinets and soapstone counters. Exterior spaces include a timber-framed porch, stone patio with fire pit and commanding views of the Occoquan reservoir. A second porch overlooks the ravine and a breezeway connects the garage to the home. Numerous energy-saving features have been incorporated, including LED lighting, on-demand gas water heating and special insulation. Smart technology helps manage and control the entire house.
