Previously, this yard was burdened by a typical boulder pile pool, that was heaped higher than typical, trying to hide the towering wall behind. At first, the clients sought merely to reconfigure the BBQ that was congesting the patio, but upon further analysis, they decided it was time to strip the entire yard, leaving only the pool shell. Bianchi’s solution introduced an array of four arbors to distract the eye from the wall behind, solving what the boulder waterfall could never do. Additionally, the wall was painted a dark earth tone to add contrast and depth. This strategy enabled the wall to recede into the distance, while the agave blue grey arbors floated forward visually from the background. Previously, the patios were a hodgepodge of deck islands that were impossible to navigate, and were of insufficient size to arrange furniture on. A well organized patio streamlined the traffic flow and the living space, featuring a cast in place concrete fire pit and banco couch, as well as a new outdoor bistro, glowing with filtered light from the canvas shade sails overhead. A turquoise glass overflow spa became the yards focal point, sharing the space between the pool and outdoor living. The striking symmetry of the spa and pot pedestal with regal cacti arrangement behind, flanked by the arbors on either side, created a stately first impression from the front door. This teaser was just a glimpse of what could not yet be seen serving as an invitation to explore and enjoy as the yard unfolds.

Designed by Lauren Hunt of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Charlotte, NC, in collaboration with The Atta Group, this mid-century/transitional kitchen & bar features Merillat Masterpiece cabinets in the Levan shaker door style with a Rainfall finish. Kitchen countertops are Hanstone Strato, complemented by a Bally Butcherblock bar countertop in teak. “The clients were a dream to work with! We have similar design taste, so it made for a really effortless and smooth design process!” said Hunt. “Their original kitchen was much smaller, so much of our discussion was centered on making the new space they had functional and efficient. We used quite a few pullouts and drawer accessories to help keep their storage space organized.” “I was thrilled that they’ve broke away from the whites and gray painted cabinets we’ve been seeing by selecting Masterpiece’s Rainfall paint and incorporating some warmer finishes. I’m really happy with the finished product – we were able to create a design that is sleek and streamlined while still being warm and inviting!” Photos courtesy of Six Cents Media.

It doesn’t require a stretch of the imagination to imagine stretching across the Costello sectional. Thanks to a wide and inviting expanse, this sprawling crowd pleaser earns abundant accolades. A neat profile and streamlined design don’t hurt either, with sharp track arms, welted seams and grid tufting to keep this piece on its block feet. Mixing metals, the Astrid cocktail tables and Hourglass stool elevate the space with their magnetism.

What was once an awkward and inefficient primary bathroom is now a space designed to truly function. The original doorway cut directly into the vanity, and a built in tub consumed valuable square footage, limiting both storage and circulation. By relocating the entry and reworking the layout, we were able to create a more natural flow. An upgraded shower and a large double oak vanity with thoughtful storage solutions now anchor the space, making daily routines seamless. Heated terrazzo floors add comfort underfoot, while streamlined plumbing fixtures bring a clean, intentional finish to the design. In the guest bathroom, we moved beyond purely functional and introduced color, pattern, and layered texture to create a space that feels personal and inviting. Hearing our client share that this remodel has genuinely improved her quality of life is exactly why we do what we do. The result is a cohesive primary and guest bathroom renovation that balances beauty, comfort, and everyday function.

This kitchen embodies a bright and timeless elegance, combining high-quality materials and thoughtful details for a harmonious aesthetic. Dura Supreme white painted cabinets provide a clean and refined foundation, paired with Richelieu cabinet hardware in brushed nickel for a subtle yet polished accent. The countertops feature White Valley Granite, bringing natural beauty and texture to the space. A marble tile backsplash in a brick pattern adds a classic touch, complementing the cabinetry and countertops seamlessly. Benjamin Moore paint colors—Bleeker Beige and Swiss Coffee—enhance the overall warmth and brightness of the design. Top-tier appliances include a Wolf gas range, Bosch panel-ready refrigerator, and Miele speed oven, ensuring both functionality and a streamlined appearance. The Rohl single bowl fireclay sink and Grohe faucet offer durability and sophistication, blending practicality with style. The design is completed by engineered hardwood flooring, which adds warmth and durability, tying together the space with an inviting and cohesive look.

This 1922 home’s kitchen was due for a functional and aesthetic uplift. The homeowner was unhappy with the layout, so a new layout was designed to streamline usage for modern day living. A chimney that was no longer used was removed in order to create a more open space. The design was created in order to create a warm and inviting space, as well as relate to the home’s traditional styling – old ranch base trim and casing where replaced to match the old existing trim in the rest of the home, and the hardwood floors were installed to match what was in the living and dining room in the front of the house. Traditional light fixtures and handmade tiles round out the timeless details in the renovation. Overall, a neutral color palette allows the wood grain in the cabinetry and the beautiful colors and pattern in the new quartz countertops to shine. The homeowners gained much more usable storage – a large pantry, and cabinet function like the blind corner cabinet shelving system.

This project features a modern transitional kitchen with clean lines and natural tones, designed to open up the space, improve functionality, and create a more refined everyday living experience. Located in an upscale private enclave in South Charlotte, the home sits within a setting known for its balance of quiet residential living and proximity to areas like SouthPark and Quail Hollow Club. The original kitchen felt closed in, so one wall was opened up and the layout was reworked to create a more open flow, allowing for better movement, improved sightlines, and a more natural gathering space around the island. The design leans modern while maintaining warmth through transitional elements. Perimeter cabinetry in L&C Shallow Green introduces a muted, earthy tone that moves away from traditional white kitchens while still keeping the space light and inviting. The cabinet style remains shaker but with slimmer profiles and minimal detailing, paired with Amerdeco brushed satin hardware featuring clean, straight bar pulls. Calacatta Elysio countertops add subtle movement and contrast, while the Zellige Pearl Opal backsplash in a horizontal stacked layout delivers a clean, modern texture that is enhanced by under-cabinet lighting. A Kraus Kore stainless steel apron-front sink provides a streamlined, modern take on a classic feature, and a Z Line stainless steel range hood serves as a strong visual focal point with its exposed chimney design. Decorative end panels and consistent cabinetry throughout maintain a cohesive and intentional look. Functionality was a key priority throughout the project. The updated layout improves workflow, while integrated storage solutions maximize usability without adding visual clutter. The result is a space that feels open, efficient, and easy to live in. The overall design balances modern simplicity with subtle warmth through elements like shaker cabinetry and natural flooring, preventing the space from feeling overly stark. This kitchen reflects a clear shift toward a more modern aesthetic while maintaining the comfort and familiarity that define transitional design.

This luxurious master bathroom is designed as a serene retreat, combining elegance with modern amenities. Featuring a spacious double vanity with quartz countertops and sleek cabinetry, it provides ample storage while keeping the look streamlined and sophisticated. The centerpiece is a freestanding soaking tub, positioned beneath a large window to invite natural light and create a spa-like ambiance. An expansive glass-enclosed shower with rain showerhead and custom tile work adds both style and function. Thoughtfully selected finishes, including brushed nickel fixtures and ambient LED lighting, complete the space, making this master bathroom a perfect blend of relaxation and refined design.

This moody and masculine home office strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and tranquility. The streamlined desk in rich dark wood is paired with a cognac leather chair, exuding timeless refinement. Softly curved plaid armchairs add comfort and subtle texture, while expansive black-framed windows allow sunlight to pour in, highlighting the lush greenery both inside and out. The deep, rich color palette and minimalist decor create a calming, productive environment with a distinctly masculine edge.

Basement Remodel with Snack Bar-Style Kitchenette Talon Construction Inc. transformed this Frederick, Maryland basement into a warm and multifunctional living space centered around a thoughtfully designed snack bar-style kitchenette. The goal for the design was to create a space that’s both functional and inviting, without overpowering the overall basement layout. At the heart of the renovation is the kitchenette, featuring Mantra Cabinetry finished with sleek brushed nickel hardware. These elements were selected for their clean lines and durability, blending seamlessly into the aesthetic of the home. The cabinetry offers ample storage, while the countertops provide plenty of space for everything from preparing casual snacks to crafting complete meals. Whether it’s sharing a glass of wine or popping popcorn for a movie night, this space was designed to accommodate it all. Above the kitchenette sink, two floating shelves add both functionality and style to the space. Strategically placed, the floating shelves offer easy access to everyday essentials—perfect for displaying glassware, decorative dishes, or small plants that add a personal touch. Their clean, minimalist design enhances the open feel of the kitchenette, while the lack of visible brackets maintains a streamlined, contemporary look. Set against the backdrop of the backsplash, these shelves not only provide storage but also serve as a subtle focal point that draws the eye upward, adding depth and dimension to the overall design. To add warmth and continuity throughout the basement, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring was installed. Its natural wood look brings in texture and durability while standing up to the demands of a high-traffic family space. Above, recessed lighting ensures the area remains bright and welcoming, day or night. The adjacent family room area offers a comfortable space to relax and entertain, effortlessly flowing from the kitchenette. The textures and finishes throughout reflect a modern yet elegant design language that harmonizes with the rest of the home, creating a cohesive, upscale look. This design build remodel is a perfect example of how Talon Construction can take a basement from basic to beautiful—with intentional design, high-quality materials, and a focus on livability.

This stunning kitchen transformation in St Albans is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can completely reimagine a space. Our clients wanted to modernise and brighten their kitchen while keeping utility appliances discreetly out of sight. For this project, we used our EasyTouch handleless cabinetry in a sophisticated pairing of Sand and Taupe, bringing a subtle contrast and warmth to the room. The base units were finished in Taupe Grey, grounding the space with a sleek, contemporary tone. The overhead cabinets in Sand added a lighter, beige-toned lift that opens up the room beautifully. The result is a refined, layered look that feels both modern and inviting. Algarve Quartz worktops in Blanco Snow elevate the design with a crisp, polished surface, complemented by a matching quartz splashback behind the hob for a seamless finish. To maximise both form and function, we extended the peninsular area for additional worktop space and created a special freezer larder unit alongside a stylish wine and coffee niche. Siemens appliances were chosen for their sleek design and advanced performance, which are seamlessly integrated into the layout. The result is a beautifully streamlined kitchen with hidden functionality, soft tones, and a layout that works perfectly for modern living. Ready to transform your own kitchen?

At Native Edge Landscape, we believe that outdoor spaces are canvases for artistic expression and harmonious design. In one of our recent projects, we had the opportunity to create a breathtaking pergola that seamlessly blended with the surrounding environment while showcasing the unique artful taste of our clients. Join us as we explore the captivating details of this design and the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating a truly remarkable outdoor space. The Pergola: A Perfect Fusion of Steel and Cedar The focal point of this project is undoubtedly the large pergola, which we carefully constructed from steel C-channel and rough cedar purlins. The combination of these materials resulted in a striking aesthetic that effortlessly marries strength and natural beauty. The warm tones of each play off one another and come alive in the sunlight, while the alternating basketweave layout of the slats offer even more visual interest as well as variation in the provided shade. The design concept was carefully planned to ensure the purlins fit snugly into the channel, cleverly concealing any visible fasteners. This attention to detail adds to the sleek and streamlined appearance of the pergola, elevating its visual appeal and rustic elegance. Working in Harmony with Nature One of the most remarkable aspects of this project is how the pergola and the clam shell-colored Trex deck were thoughtfully designed to complement and highlight the existing large red oak tree. Rather than overshadowing or competing with its natural beauty, the design gracefully worked around the tree, creating a harmonious coexistence between human craftsmanship and nature's elegance. Mid-Century Modern Charm with an Artful Twist While the overall design of the space exudes mid-century modern aesthetics, what truly makes this project stand out is the clients' unique and artful taste. Their personal touch can be seen in the selection of decor, furniture, and subtle embellishments that add character and personality to the space. The result is a stunning blend of timeless design principles and the clients' individual artistic expression, creating a truly one-of-a-kind outdoor sanctuary. Craftsmanship that Inspires Every element of this project, from the pergola's construction to the careful integration of existing natural features, is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Native Edge Landscape team. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, our designers and craftsmen brought the clients' vision to life, transforming their outdoor space into a work of art.

This bathroom remodeling project transformed an outdated and impractical space into a sophisticated and contemporary primary bathroom. By removing the existing tub and closing off one of the two entry points, we streamlined the layout, making the bathroom exclusive to the primary bedroom. The newly designed walk-in shower features a shower pan with 2-inch round mosaic Shoji White Matte tiles and a linear tile-in drain, creating a clean look. The shower walls are adorned with 2.5x10 matte Kumo Grey subway tiles, arranged in a unique vertical stack lines pattern with linear accents, adding a touch of artistic flair. The shower is open, featuring a custom frameless glass panel with brass hardware, which enhances the spacious and airy feel. The vanity is a contemporary yet timeless Sonoma Solid Teak piece, measuring 60 inches wide by 22 inches deep. The vanity wall ties the design together with a matching backsplash made from the same shower wall tiles. A mirror flanked by two sconce lights and wall-mounted faucets in brass finish complete the elegant look. All plumbing fixtures and hardware are in a brass finish, complementing the Spanish contemporary design that exudes sophistication, warmth, and artistic vibes. This remodel not only modernized the bathroom but also created a cohesive and luxurious space that feels both inviting and stylish.
