Nestled in an undeveloped thicket between two homes on Monmouth road, the Eastern corner of this client’s lot plunges ten feet downward into a city-designated stormwater collection ravine. Our client challenged us to design a home, referencing the Scandinavian modern style, that would account for this lot’s unique terrain and vegetation. Through iterative design, we produced four house forms angled to allow rainwater to naturally flow off of the roof and into a gravel-lined runoff area that drains into the ravine. Completely foregoing downspouts and gutters, the chosen design reflects the site’s topography, its mass changing in concert with the slope of the land. This two-story home is oriented around a central stacked staircase that descends into the basement and ascends to a second floor master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The main entrance—a triangular form subtracted from this home’s rectangular plan—opens to a kitchen and living space anchored with an oversized kitchen island. On the far side of the living space, a solid void form projects towards the backyard, referencing the entryway without mirroring it. Ground floor amenities include a bedroom, full bathroom, laundry area, office and attached garage. Among Architecture Office’s most conceptually rigorous projects, exterior windows are isolated to opportunities where natural light and a connection to the outdoors is desired. The Monmouth home is clad in black corrugated metal, its exposed foundations extending from the earth to highlight its form. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2020.

Key Features: Premium Material: Constructed from high-quality solid hardwood, this door showcases the natural beauty of wood grain with a warm, rich finish. The wood is carefully selected for its strength and longevity, ensuring your door withstands the test of time. Arched Design: The door features a distinctive arched top, adding a touch of architectural sophistication. The curve is meticulously crafted to enhance the door’s visual appeal while maintaining structural integrity. Dual-Pane Windows: Each door includes a set of multi-pane windows, arranged in a classic grid pattern. The windows allow natural light to filter through while preserving privacy, creating a welcoming ambiance for your entryway. Rustic Cross-Bracing: The lower panels feature an iconic “X” cross-brace design, a hallmark of traditional barn-style doors. This detail adds rustic charm and reinforces the door’s robust construction. Decorative Hardware: Black iron clavos (decorative nail heads) and strap hinges accentuate the door’s vintage aesthetic. These hand-forged elements are both functional and ornamental, enhancing the overall design.

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.

We are delighted to present our recently completed kitchen cabinets project in Medina, which exudes a captivating modern style and showcases meticulous attention to detail. Let's dive into the key features that make this kitchen truly exceptional. The cabinets feature a sleek laminate finish, providing both durability and a contemporary look. To enhance visual interest, vertical grain patterns have been incorporated, adding texture and sophistication to the overall design. One of the standout elements in this kitchen is the use of C channels. These sleek and minimalist metal channels eliminate the need for visible hardware, maintaining a clean and streamlined appearance throughout the space. They contribute to the modern aesthetic while ensuring ease of use. The upper cabinets feature glass inserts, adding an elegant touch. This design choice not only allows for the display of cherished items or decorative pieces but also creates a sense of openness and brightness in the kitchen. In contrast, the base cabinets are solid ivory white, creating a fresh and clean foundation for the space. This choice brings a timeless appeal and allows for easy coordination with various design elements. To introduce depth and visual contrast, a dark gray wood-textured island and prep kitchen were incorporated. The dark gray color adds a sense of sophistication, while the wood texture provides warmth and a touch of nature-inspired charm. This island and prep kitchen become a focal point, making a bold statement within the overall design.#modernkitchen #contemporarystyle #kitchencabinetry #moderncabinets #laminatecabinets #kitchenisland #seattlecabinets

This heavy-duty, highly mobile custom kitchen island and bar cart brings rugged industrial character and premium functionality to any entertainment space. Built upon a foundational welded steel skeleton and set on heavy-duty locking casters, the unit is crowned with a striking, handcrafted hammered copper countertop that adds a rich, warm metallic contrast to the dark steel frame. Designed for the ultimate beverage enthusiast, the center features a precisely measured, open bay ready to seamlessly accommodate a standard wine or beverage fridge. Flanking this central appliance space is highly functional storage, featuring solid steel drawer fronts above custom cabinet doors with industrial expanded metal mesh inserts and exposed fastener detailing. To ensure a bold, dimensional profile, every door and drawer is meticulously engineered to sit over the face frame behind it with a strict .25-inch overlap, completely avoiding standard flat inset designs. A custom-welded steel push handle and patinated metal side panels complete this versatile, commanding piece.

This solid petrified log from Andrew Martin serves as a striking and sculptural side table, perfectly positioned beside the contemporary Camerich sofa. Upholstered in a soft linen-effect fabric with a stain-resistant Teflon finish, the sofa offers a beautiful balance of comfort, durability, and understated elegance. A bold Cubist artwork provides the focal point for the room, its layered geometry and earthy tones forming the foundation of the palette. Rich hues of rust and moss have been thoughtfully drawn from the piece and layered throughout the space—bringing warmth, depth, and a quiet vibrancy that feels entirely in tune with the room’s organic yet sophisticated feel. The floor lamp, also from Andrew Martin, introduces a softer, more fluid form. Its curvaceous silhouette gently references the rounded edges of the coffee table and the bouclé armchair in the opposite corner, adding a sense of balance and visual rhythm. The result is a space where contrasting forms and textures are thoughtfully harmonised—grounded in nature, yet refined in execution.

This back porch deck renovation project in Wichita, Kansas was completed to restore and upgrade a heavily used outdoor space into a safe, durable, and functional area for everyday living. Over time, the existing deck had begun to show signs of wear, creating structural concerns and limiting how the space could be used. The goal was to bring the deck back to life while improving both its strength and overall appearance. At 180 Renovations, we approached this project with a focus on long-term performance and reliability. The existing structure was carefully assessed, repaired, and reinforced where needed to ensure a solid foundation. From there, we completed a full renovation, replacing worn materials and rebuilding key sections to improve safety and usability. Every detail was handled with precision to deliver a finished deck that not only looks better but is built to withstand daily use and changing weather conditions. A back porch should be a dependable extension of your home, not a concern. This project highlights how a properly executed deck renovation can completely transform an outdoor space into something functional, comfortable, and built to last. If your deck is showing signs of wear or no longer meets your needs, 180 Renovations is ready to help. Contact us today to get started on your next project.
