Designing the interiors of a minimal and contemporary single-family home in the Hollywood Hills emphasizes purity and simplicity. Crisp white walls and ceilings create an airy, serene atmosphere, while natural materials like limestone floors and raked limestone fireplaces add warmth and texture. The design focuses on clean lines and uncluttered spaces, with large windows that frame breathtaking views of the hills, enhancing the sense of openness. Subtle variations in texture, from the smooth limestone to the raked fireplace surfaces, bring depth and interest to the neutral palette. The result is a sophisticated, calming retreat that embraces modern minimalism while staying connected to nature.

Creative work needs a space that helps you relax, think, and stay connected with nature — all at the same time. We incorporated the client's requirements, with a fireplace, an interrupted view of the lake, and a deck to experience the outdoors. Perfect for days when you want to stay cozy inside and enjoy the view outside. We matched the specifics of this project with the existing architecture and rustic elements that our client requested. Next, we'll head out on the deck right outside. For the bright days and when you need an outdoor experience - adjacent to the screened room - this deck with glass railings provided our client room for hanging out with loved ones, BBQ, or simply taking in nature.

The house is bright, cozy and welcoming, balancing dark wood doors with a cool, hip vibe. Boho sanctuaries make you want to linger and stay, caressing you with their energies. Your personal style should reflect in the decor keeping it characteristic and appealing instead of being trendy. Hand carved authentic antique doors crafted by artisans in teak wood with elaborately carved headers and studded with metals gives the connection to history and tradition.

Mauve was all the rage in the late 1980s when the clients of Arlene Ladegaard, founder and principal designer at Design Connections, Inc., built this custom home in the suburb of Olathe, Kan. Although a master bedroom on the first floor seemed unusual at the time, it turned out to be just the ticket for the clients. With its beautiful acreage surrounding the home, our clients had decided to stay there as they aged. The master bathroom was desperate for an update. Mold grew in the shower and that required swift action to eliminate. The clients wanted to replace the tub with a larger shower with clean Euro glass doors. The vanity with a makeup area received freshly painted cabinets with updated interiors and a plug-in area for a blow dryer, and the client loved the new perfume cabinet to store her collection. Design Connection Inc. provided Auto Cad drawings and elevations for design details, tile, cabinets, painting, installations and project management.

ZeroEnergy Design (ZED) created this modern home for a progressive family in the desirable community of Lexington. Thoughtful Land Connection. The residence is carefully sited on the infill lot so as to create privacy from the road and neighbors, while cultivating a side yard that captures the southern sun. The terraced grade rises to meet the house, allowing for it to maintain a structured connection with the ground while also sitting above the high water table. The elevated outdoor living space maintains a strong connection with the indoor living space, while the stepped edge ties it back to the true ground plane. Siting and outdoor connections were completed by ZED in collaboration with landscape designer Soren Deniord Design Studio. Exterior Finishes and Solar. The exterior finish materials include a palette of shiplapped wood siding, through-colored fiber cement panels and stucco. A rooftop parapet hides the solar panels above, while a gutter and site drainage system directs rainwater into an irrigation cistern and dry wells that recharge the groundwater. Cooking, Dining, Living. Inside, the kitchen, fabricated by Henrybuilt, is located between the indoor and outdoor dining areas. The expansive south-facing sliding door opens to seamlessly connect the spaces, using a retractable awning to provide shade during the summer while still admitting the warming winter sun. The indoor living space continues from the dining areas across to the sunken living area, with a view that returns again to the outside through the corner wall of glass. Accessible Guest Suite. The design of the first level guest suite provides for both aging in place and guests who regularly visit for extended stays. The patio off the north side of the house affords guests their own private outdoor space, and privacy from the neighbor. Similarly, the second level master suite opens to an outdoor private roof deck. Light and Access. The wide open interior stair with a glass panel rail leads from the top level down to the well insulated basement. The design of the basement, used as an away/play space, addresses the need for both natural light and easy access. In addition to the open stairwell, light is admitted to the north side of the area with a high performance, Passive House (PHI) certified skylight, covering a six by sixteen foot area. On the south side, a unique roof hatch set flush with the deck opens to reveal a glass door at the base of the stairwell which provides additional light and access from the deck above down to the play space. Energy. Energy consumption is reduced by the high performance building envelope, high efficiency mechanical systems, and then offset with renewable energy. All windows and doors are made of high performance triple paned glass with thermally broken aluminum frames. The exterior wall assembly employs dense pack cellulose in the stud cavity, a continuous air barrier, and four inches exterior rigid foam insulation. The 10kW rooftop solar electric system provides clean energy production. The final air leakage testing yielded 0.6 ACH 50 - an extremely air tight house, a testament to the well-designed details, progress testing and quality construction. When compared to a new house built to code requirements, this home consumes only 19% of the energy.

Industrial transitional English style kitchen. The addition and remodeling were designed to keep the outdoors inside. Replaced the uppers and prioritized windows connected to key parts of the backyard and having open shelvings with walnut and brass details. Custom dark cabinets made locally. Designed to maximize the storage and performance of a growing family and host big gatherings. The large island was a key goal of the homeowners with the abundant seating and the custom booth opposite to the range area. The booth was custom built to match the client's favorite dinner spot. In addition, we created a more New England style mudroom in connection with the patio. And also a full pantry with a coffee station and pocket doors.
