City living can lead to creativity, like this complete remodel that also included a rooftop patio. A NARI Contractor of the Year award winner, this contemporary design relies heavily on straight lines and metallic accents.

Utilizing extra space in their mudroom, the Mohrmans created a workspace for general daily operations and for Kiel's at-home furniture business MidWest Woods Furniture Co. "We had had our previous office in one of the upstairs bedrooms, but realized after some time that this made the office feel somewhat unaccessible", says Chelsea. With the perfect area already carved out in the mudroom, the couple got to work. Kiel created a simple counter solution by spanning the length of the wall with reclaimed barn wood that he received from a friend. He scooped up the black molded chair when his former school was getting rid of them. At the time it was only the seat, however the couple sourced the Eames DSW base from Design Within Reach.

The Artist’s Studio is the result of two artists’ desire to build a new studio space while minimizing any construction-related impact to the natural landscape of their property. Conceived of as a “bridge” spanning a small arroyo adjacent to the main house, it also provides connection to a picturesque portion of the site that was previously inaccessible. The bridge is supported on two concrete piers on either side of the canyon, and is spanned with two trusses constructed from top and bottom glulam chords with steel cross members. Natural interior lighting and airflow stream throughout the space through floor to ceiling sliding glass doors on two spans of the building. Floating fifteen feet above a dry creek bed, the studio’s perspective provides a unique opportunity to experience the canyon.
