Search results for "Specific slot" in Home Design Ideas

Recent empty-nesters, the clients were ready to pare down and renovate their dated mid-century modern home. Specifically, they wanted to enlarge their cramped (30 square foot) unattractive room for the master shower and toilet. Desiring to live in their home for many more years, the new space utilizes universal design principals such an accessible oversized pocket door, grab bars*, door-less curb-less shower access, and a hand shower. The shower valves are conveniently located at the shower entrance and a handy niche accented with glass tiles, keeps all the needed products at hand. A sleek slot drain keeps the water flowing in the right direction. **
Large format porcelain tile in a grey veined white marble design keeps the look light and airy and continues the new design aesthetic of the home.
*Planning for future additional grab bars, blocking is provided in the wall below the niche.
** To accommodate the flush threshold and for added precaution, waterproofing underlayment was installed for the entire floor surface of the room.

The modern kitchen and scullery in this home has it all! Our team custom designed the sleek custom cabinetry to compliment the luxury suite of appliances. The luxury appliances in the kitchen and the scullery include-- a full height wine column, refrigerator and freezer columns, an ice maker, double ovens, a warming drawer, two dishwashers, a 48" gas rangetop, a microwave drawer, a beverage fridge, an undercounter microwave and a wine dispenser center. The kitchen and scullery also feature two undermount sinks, touch faucets, and an instant hot water faucet. The dark chocolate cabinets were designed to function without hardware to provide the streamlined look that we were after in this modern space. We created the channeled wood range hood to mimic the channeled fireplace wall design. Oversized marble-look porcelain slabs cover the walls and island in this expansive kitchen. The custom two-tier waterfall island features a wood bar top counter over a porcelain waterfall countertop. Our team encountered a particularly difficult challenge when designing the island. The architect had placed the AC air intake on the back of the island and the last thing that our design team wanted on the back of the island facing the living room was a large AC grille! So, we designed a "slot" all the way across the back of the island at the knee space to hide the AC air intake. The air intake is actually underneath the strip of porcelain that you see on the back of the island next to the barstools. This was the perfect marriage of function and style and we were thrilled with the sleek solution to this problem. Finally, we designed a custom spot in the corner of the kitchen with open shelves and built in appliances, specifically to house the owner's wine dispenser station and barware. The finishing touches on this beautiful sleek kitchen include geometric light fixtures and custom swivel barstools.

This island was designed specifically for the clients dogs (Belka & Shiner).
We incorporated an area for their food bowls that could be used as a bookcase in the future.
There is a shallow cabinet on both ends that store treats, leashes and brushes.

Within walled boundaries, Woody Creek Garden embraces its high alpine environment through explorations of stone and water that serve as unifying elements of form in the design of the various outdoor spaces. Through striking and distinctively detailed stonework, water is portrayed in its various states and forms – atmospheric mist, single rivulets, cascades, and still pools. Two courtyards interlink the residence allowing each room to enjoy the visual landscape. In the entrance courtyard, the sound from a carved 24”x 24” cut-granite fountain reverberates throughout the walled space. Placed for gathering and quiet contemplation, a pin-wheel arrangement of sculptural, granite slabs provide a honed surface for sitting while providing year-round interest. Each stone was individually specified with intentionally spaced core fractures, utilizing the extraction method to serve as sculpted details. Large sandstone pavers, set in sand and cut in an irregular, but geometric fashion bring a sense of modernity to the space. Throughout the property, stone detailing seek to heighten one’s experience of the landscape and views. Upon the home’s entry, an 18” rectilinear cut in the freestanding stone wall frames a distant peak, creating a singular reference to the outside world in this encased space. Emerging from the center of an organically-shaped carved sandstone slab, water is carried along a narrow 2” runnel sandstone cap, disappearing into the framed horizon. This glimpse to the west is the only opening in the tightly enclosed courtyard. From its opposite aspect, the feature creates a welcoming gesture at the home’s front entrance. The slender rivulet of water trickles from the sandstone slab above onto a honed granite plane, set within a sandstone terrace In contrast, a second promontory courtyard commands a strong presence over its alpine setting, leaving the steeply sloping site undisturbed. A 12’x 40’ reflecting pool – a thin sheet of water over honed black granite – captures the form and silence of the everchanging natural environment on its taut surface. Along its edge, water flows over a ½” radius edge, disappearing into a recirculating slot. Commissioned by Italian artist Bruno Romeda, a bronze sculpture rests upon an elevated granite plinth. Along its western edge, designers crafted a two-tiered, infinity edge detail. In the first vertical drop, water flows between the pool and perimeter stone walls, landing onto an intermediate bench, while the second drop introduces a chamfered edge, allowing water to embrace the vertical relief without splashing. Sandstone terraces provide continuous access to the various landscape features of the garden. At the base of the battered perimeter walls, a sandstone path leads to a fire pit, encircled by lichen-covered boulders. Along the courtyard’s eastern perimeter, water appears to emerge from the hillside, fracturing and falling against the irregular vertical stone wall, melting in a curtain-like formation behind the spa. The colors, distinctive detailing and striking stonework were selected based on their appropriateness to the context. From above, a rectilinear pool lies behind the wall, silently mirroring the sky above and offering no ostensible connection to the structure or to its source.

This Mediterranean style villa with a unique radial-style core was specifically designed to take advantage of the outstanding elevated lakefront views. An infinity edge pool was a must to create the water-to-water connection that was desired, and a lautner-slot perimeter overflow system was also incorporated to bring the reflective pool water level flush with the patio and to take that connection all the way to the patio level. The materials selected and installed emphasize the Mediterranean style of the home, and the variety of foliage color and textures provide low-maintenance visual interest from one side of the point location to the other. A fully integrated landscape and night lighting system transforms the entire space from all viewpoints at night, serving to draw visitors out of the home and from the lake to the space to enjoy its intrinsic character by both day and night.

Chefs have definite ways to lay out their work spaces and collaborating with them is always fun and informative. World famous yet incredibly down to earth is Jacques Pepin. His studio kitchen in Madison was designed by Philippe Campus, AIA who we have had the pleasure our working with on many projects throughout the years. Jacques had a specific way he wanted his knives stored in the island and we created a special slotted block inserted into the island material. The kitchen was eclectic in the European tradition with tiles hand painted by Jacques himself juxtaposition with clean modern maple cabinetry and stainless steel and antique table and chairs. A section of the kitchen opened up to the porch and yard for entertaining.
