This project showcases the transformation of a modest family cottage into a highly-functional, year-round waterfront retreat. Through a thoughtfully-designed addition and careful reorganization of interior space, the home now seamlessly combines the charm of its original structure with modern comforts and expanded living spaces, all while preserving views of the stunning riverfront setting.
Key Features:
1. Expanded Entry and Primary Suite: The newly created entryway offers a spacious and functional welcome to the home, featuring a practical laundry room and ample storage space. The private primary bedroom suite, complete with a modern ensuite bathroom, provides a peaceful sanctuary.
2. Sunroom for Year-Round Enjoyment: A light-filled sunroom extends the home’s outdoor living season by offering protection from the elements, allowing the family to enjoy the fresh air and scenic views throughout the year. The room features warm pine finishes on the walls and ceiling, with timber accents that complement the natural surroundings.
3. New River-Facing Deck: The large deck offers a perfect spot for family gatherings and relaxation, with unimpeded views of the water thanks to the use of a glass railing. Designed for both entertaining and quiet reflection, it’s a key feature that strengthens the connection between indoor and outdoor living.
4. Exterior Renovation: The exterior has been fully updated, blending the old cottage’s character with the new additions. A new roof and siding unify the entire structure, giving it a refreshed, cohesive.
5. Reconfigured Interior Spaces: The renovation reorganized key interior spaces, including the relocation of the basement stairs to allow for an expanded completely renovated kitchen and large, open eating area adjacent to the sunroom.
This successful renovation enhances both the functionality and aesthetic of the cottage, transforming it into a beautiful, all-season home that meets the evolving needs of its owners while maintaining a strong connection to the waterfront environment.

Located in the Perrinville neighborhood of Edmonds, this waterfront project began as a vision for a large addition and attached garage and evolved into a substantial partial rebuild of the existing home. The design goals centered on expanding and modernizing the residence while responding thoughtfully to the site’s sensitive environmental conditions, including a stream, steep slope, and the Puget Sound shoreline with associated buffers. Careful planning ensured compliance with critical area restrictions while maximizing sweeping water views and strengthening the home’s connection to its remarkable setting. The reimagined main floor was designed as an open, light-filled great room organized around a large kitchen and generous entertaining spaces. Expansive glass doors and a dramatic wall of windows frame views of the Puget Sound, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor connection and allowing natural light to fill the interior. A new addition is designed with a two-car garage at the lower level and a primary suite above, designed as a private retreat with elevated views and refined finishes. Sustainability and efficiency were also central goals: the existing foundation and main floor system were salvaged and reused, while rebuilt walls support a modern double shed roofline constructed with SIP panels (Structurally Insulated Panels) over exposed wood beams. The result is a cohesive, contemporary home that balances environmental sensitivity, performance, and waterfront living.

This handcrafted Ash conference table was designed to bring together exceptional craftsmanship, meaningful design, and everyday functionality. Built from solid USA-sourced Ash hardwood, this custom conference table serves as the centerpiece of a professional meeting space while celebrating the company's Michigan roots through thoughtful, one-of-a-kind details. The light, natural tones of the Ash create a clean, contemporary aesthetic, allowing the beauty of the wood to shine while providing a durable work surface built for decades of daily use.
Designed and delivered to Michigan Financial Planning in Hartland, Michigan, the tabletop features a custom inlay of the state of Michigan filled with deep blue epoxy.

Supporting the tabletop are bold X-shaped steel legs connected by a solid center beam, providing exceptional stability while creating a modern architectural design that complements the clean lines of the Ash hardwood.

This two-story custom home in Redmond, Washington, showcases a sophisticated blend of contemporary design, exceptional craftsmanship, and carefully considered architectural details. Built by Cutuli Homes, a Seattle-area luxury custom home builder with 31 years of experience, the residence was designed and constructed to create a home that is both highly functional and distinctly beautiful.
At the heart of the home is an expansive custom kitchen featuring a large statement island, rich dark cabinetry, stone countertops, professional-style appliances, and detailed tilework. The generous open floor plan connects the kitchen to the adjoining living spaces, while wide-plank wood flooring adds warmth and contrast to the home's clean contemporary lines.
Custom woodworking and cabinetry can be found throughout the residence, demonstrating the attention to detail that defines the home. Bathrooms feature custom vanities, stone surfaces, illuminated mirrors, and beautifully executed tile installations. Dramatic tile selections introduce color, pattern, and texture, turning functional spaces such as showers and backsplashes into distinctive design features.
The exterior continues the home's contemporary aesthetic with board-and-batten detailing, strong architectural lines, a covered outdoor living area, an upper-level deck, modern railings, and thoughtfully integrated landscaping. Large windows bring abundant natural light into the home while strengthening the connection between the interior and the surrounding Pacific Northwest setting.
Every element of this Redmond residence was selected and constructed with an emphasis on quality, craftsmanship, function, and enduring design. The result is a truly custom home created around the way its owners live, with distinctive details and finishes that give the residence a character entirely its own.

The original site was the former residence of Wuyi Duwei Liu Xiangzhi in the Qing Dynasty. The three-entry and two-yard wooden structure wears a bucket-style building with a unique style and ancient charm. After a hundred years of catastrophe, in the blooming and precipitation of time, telling the past history.
The lighting design strives to create a subtle and introverted, low-key but prominent light environment. The lighting technique to brighten the cavity in the old house area highlights the unique cavity decoration design in the architectural structure. The color temperature is warm white light, which not only restores the color and texture of the building itself, but also strengthens the modeling arc of the gable part of the traditional Chinese building.
At night, under the background of the lights, dreams of the past and the present can pass through the past and the present, feeling the unique Chinese architectural charm of the flying eaves and the white walls and black tiles.
The promenade part has changed from the traditional, and mostly uses linear facade lighting to provide functional lighting for the moving lines, so that the traditional and elegant architectural atmosphere also contains a bright and modern temperament.
Listening to the wind and rain at night, the iron horse glares into a dream.
It was late at night, with the gurgling rain outside the window, lying on the couch, dreaming with the wind and rain all over the sky.
In the dream, he was the general who wore a battle armor and clambered across the frozen river to fight on the battlefield. Galloping a lifetime, full of pride.
When I wake up, the light is soft and warm, and I can't help but sigh that I have the universe in my heart, and I also cherish the ordinary warmth.
The extraordinary in the ordinary, the perfect fusion of ancient rhyme and modernity, the General's Mansion allows you to experience dreamlike, warm world.

Great Room — Project Description (Bolton, CT)
The Great Room underwent a full architectural and aesthetic transformation, turning a previously plain wall with an oversized brick fireplace and small flanking cabinets into a refined, cohesive focal point that anchors the entire first floor.
Architectural Enhancements
New crown molding installed throughout the 2-story Great Room, Foyer, and adjoining Dining Room, introducing scale, proportion, and visual continuity across all interconnected spaces.
A completely redesigned feature wall was created in place of the bare two-story expanse. Custom millwork, vertical and horizontal panel molding, and carefully balanced proportions now draw the eye upward and bring harmony to the room’s tall volume.
Custom Built-Ins & Lighting
The previous shallow cabinets were replaced with full-height built-ins offering improved storage, display niches, and symmetrical framing around the fireplace.
Integrated sconce lighting within recessed picture-frame molding adds architectural interest and warm illumination, enhancing the room’s depth and ambiance.
Fireplace Redesign
The original brick fireplace was removed and replaced with a sleek porcelain slab surround and a redesigned mantel that now complements the updated millwork.
The hearth was rebuilt with polished black stone, creating contrast and a modernized, high-end aesthetic.
Lowering the mantel corrected the previously disproportionate composition and improved the viewing angle of the TV, creating a comfortable and ergonomic media experience.
Cohesive Color & Finish Palette
The new two-story accent wall color was selected to match the cabinetry finish in the renovated kitchen, visually connecting the spaces and strengthening the whole-house design language.
Hardwood floors were refinished, restoring natural warmth and tying together the crisp white millwork and the soft blue-green accent panels.
