I built this on my property for my aging father who has some health issues. Handicap accessibility was a factor in design. His dream has always been to try retire to a cabin in the woods. This is what he got. It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a great room. It is 600 sqft of AC space. The footprint is 40' x 26' overall. The site was the former home of our pig pen. I only had to take 1 tree to make this work and I planted 3 in its place. The axis is set from root ball to root ball. The rear center is aligned with mean sunset and is visible across a wetland. The goal was to make the home feel like it was floating in the palms. The geometry had to simple and I didn't want it feeling heavy on the land so I cantilevered the structure beyond exposed foundation walls. My barn is nearby and it features old 1950's "S" corrugated metal panel walls. I used the same panel profile for my siding. I ran it vertical to math the barn, but also to balance the length of the structure and stretch the high point into the canopy, visually. The wood is all Southern Yellow Pine. This material came from clearing at the Babcock Ranch Development site. I ran it through the structure, end to end and horizontally, to create a seamless feel and to stretch the space. It worked. It feels MUCH bigger than it is. I milled the material to specific sizes in specific areas to create precise alignments. Floor starters align with base. Wall tops adjoin ceiling starters to create the illusion of a seamless board. All light fixtures, HVAC supports, cabinets, switches, outlets, are set specifically to wood joints. The front and rear porch wood has three different milling profiles so the hypotenuse on the ceilings, align with the walls, and yield an aligned deck board below. Yes, I over did it. It is spectacular in its detailing. That's the benefit of small spaces. Concrete counters and IKEA cabinets round out the conversation. For those who could not live in a tiny house, I offer the Tiny-ish House. Photos by Ryan Gamma Staging by iStage Homes Design assistance by Jimmy Thornton

Inspiration for a mid-sized transitional look-out carpeted basement remodel in Toronto with white walls and no fireplace

This is an example of a large transitional brick back porch design with a fire pit.

This small back yard in Placerville, CA was covered with bark for years. The soil was hard and compacted, so we amended it with lots of organic compost and organic starter fertilizer. The old drainage was filled with mud and ineffective, so we created a dry creek bed which took advantage of the existing outlet to the street. California Native Plants were planted to create a drought tolerant, low maintenance garden which delighted the client.

here is a rustic fire pit with a raised sitting bench around the whole this. It is a gas fire pit with auto starter. You can see just to the left of the fire pit we core drilled a large boulder and added a outdoor water fountain for the kids

The clients were looking for a home design that would seamlessly flow from room to room with a transitional modern style and a touch of boho-chic. Our team achieved this look by incorporating neutral foundational pieces and complementing them with distinctive furnishings and accents that would serve as great conversation starters. The family is enthusiastic about hosting, and the design is well-suited for entertaining guests. Overall, the design is cohesive, stylish, and functional for the family's needs.

At the Lovelle’s Houston home we did a full baluster swap of the old wood pickets with our powder coated wrought iron balusters, replaced all the handrails, and replaced the starter steps’ false cap. We also replaced the original post with a new one, touched up and refinished to match. The stairs now have that old world charm that is indicative of a Venetian Stairs remodel.

This unique burnt wood side table is sure to be a conversation starter! Handmade with solid Teak wood, using the Lichtenberg method. Lichtenberg designs are unique in their own way as they are formed by passing high voltage electricity through the wood resulting in a lightning effect. Made with solid wood and powder-coated metal legs to ensure extra strength and stability.

The primary bathroom was basically a non-starter. Very small shower, very small tub. Redesigned with a larger single vanity, inset mirrors for extra storage space, and lighting. Add a large walk-in "wet area" shower. Everyone was thrilled.

This bar area is defined by the unique and eye-catching Linville Falls Stack Rock Counter Stool by Hooker Furniture. Its distinctive design adds a natural, rustic yet refined touch, providing comfortable and stylish seating that will be a conversation starter in any bar or kitchen space.
