The Brooklyn StudioThis residence was a complete gut renovation of a 4-story row house in Park Slope, and included a new rear extension and penthouse addition. The owners wished to create a warm, family home using a modern language that would act as a clean canvas to feature rich textiles and items from their world travels. As with most Brooklyn row houses, the existing house suffered from a lack of natural light and connection to exterior spaces, an issue that Principal Brendan Coburn is acutely aware of from his experience re-imagining historic structures in the New York area. The resulting architecture is designed around moments featuring natural light and views to the exterior, of both the private garden and the sky, throughout the house, and a stripped-down language of detailing and finishes allows for the concept of the modern-natural to shine.
Upon entering the home, the kitchen and dining space draw you in with views beyond through the large glazed opening at the rear of the house. An extension was built to allow for a large sunken living room that provides a family gathering space connected to the kitchen and dining room, but remains distinctly separate, with a strong visual connection to the rear garden. The open sculptural stair tower was designed to function like that of a traditional row house stair, but with a smaller footprint. By extending it up past the original roof level into the new penthouse, the stair becomes an atmospheric shaft for the spaces surrounding the core. All types of weather – sunshine, rain, lightning, can be sensed throughout the home through this unifying vertical environment. The stair space also strives to foster family communication, making open living spaces visible between floors. At the upper-most level, a free-form bench sits suspended over the stair, just by the new roof deck, which provides at-ease entertaining. Oak was used throughout the home as a unifying material element. As one travels upwards within the house, the oak finishes are bleached to further degrees as a nod to how light enters the home.
The owners worked with CWB to add their own personality to the project. The meter of a white oak and blackened steel stair screen was designed by the family to read “I love you” in Morse Code, and tile was selected throughout to reference places that hold special significance to the family. To support the owners’ comfort, the architectural design engages passive house technologies to reduce energy use, while increasing air quality within the home – a strategy which aims to respect the environment while providing a refuge from the harsh elements of urban living.

Helix Green DesignsThe backyard, fragmented and lacking privacy, suffered from overgrown vegetation and a mismatched pool deck.
Helix Green Designs' vision centered on enhancing functionality while creating a secluded oasis. In the backyard, privacy became paramount. A double hedge of podocarpus and boxwood now surrounds the expanded pool deck, while transplanted deciduous hydrangeas were replaced with an evergreen podocarpus hedge along the fence line. Two strategically placed flowering crape myrtle trees flank a new custom gate, offering additional privacy from the golf course. A stepping stone walkway seamlessly connects the detached guest house, a popular grilling spot for the homeowners. Preserving the existing specimen oak trees was a priority. These established giants provided valuable shade and protection from the hot western sun, contributing significantly to the backyard's character and enjoyment.
Tamara Rosenbloom Design LLCThe twins were almost out of their toddler beds and outgrowing their small room when their mother called. Across from the girls’ existing bedroom was another bedroom and bathroom that lacked functionality and easy access. We combined the three spaces, added French doors from the hall and divided the second bedroom into a large walk in closet and play room. To unite the spaces (and please the allergy sufferers), we tore up the carpet and laid bamboo flooring. We enlarged the bathroom to allow for a custom horizontal strand bamboo double sink vanity and moved the entry to the bathroom off the bedroom. To maximize space and storage in the bedroom, we designed custom Chippendale inspired beds with storage drawers beneath and a bookcase/reading nook with a view between the two beds.

12/12 Architects & PlannersThis family of 5 was quickly out-growing their 1,220sf ranch home on a beautiful corner lot. Rather than adding a 2nd floor, the decision was made to extend the existing ranch plan into the back yard, adding a new 2-car garage below the new space - for a new total of 2,520sf. With a previous addition of a 1-car garage and a small kitchen removed, a large addition was added for Master Bedroom Suite, a 4th bedroom, hall bath, and a completely remodeled living, dining and new Kitchen, open to large new Family Room. The new lower level includes the new Garage and Mudroom. The existing fireplace and chimney remain - with beautifully exposed brick. The homeowners love contemporary design, and finished the home with a gorgeous mix of color, pattern and materials.
The project was completed in 2011. Unfortunately, 2 years later, they suffered a massive house fire. The house was then rebuilt again, using the same plans and finishes as the original build, adding only a secondary laundry closet on the main level.
MULHOLLAND BRANDHome in Hawaii, just a few blocks from the ocean. All previous gates suffered from the salt in the air. These powder-coated aluminum gates will delight the owners and the neighborhood for years to come.
The Renowned Group The original Master bath suffered a tiny shower and a tub that was never used. It was very dark and cavernous and needed some softness to oppose angled walls. The tub was removed to make a larger, more accessible shower. The desired style was modern but not severe. We installed Cambria Britannica quartz slab with large veining and soft flowing movement on all the shower walls. A dark floor grounds the space. A combination of light walls, and sleek floating cabinets, creates an overall softness in this Modern Masterpiece.
All-Craft Decks & SunroomsThe she shed was intended for a combination art studio and a place to relax for the homeowner who was elderly and suffered with a severe medical condition. We needed to maximize the space to it’s potential, especially since it’s a small space. Included was higher-end pieces such as a stunning chandelier and a stunning Anderson door entrance system. For a more tranquil environment, we incorporated space for comfortable furniture and a propane fireplace. Space was used to the max with built in shelving and cabinetry for the art work and supplies.
This she-shed was built with custom features consisting of:
Cathedral ceiling with skylights for abundance of natural light
Propane fireplace
Built in cabinets and shelving for art studio supplies
Barn door entrance to small garden tool storage area

iCork FloorNatural cork floorings acoustic properties make it a sensible choice for any home in which echoing presents a problem. Cork’s very infrastructure, millions of micro air cells, will provide and extra barrier against noise insulation. Thundering footsteps become muted with a layer of cork, while the material’s pliancy would be an added benefit should any tot happen to stumble. Go with natural cork flooring today.
The cellular nature of cork allows it to maintain a comfortable ambient surface temperature, making it one of the best alternatives to carpet. It’s this same honeycomb cellular structure that also enables cork to act as a sound barrier and insulator in areas that can suffer from echoes or other noises. So if you’re looking for a green alternative that brings great quality at reasonable pricing then look to natural cork flooring for a happier alternative.

Paradox Interior Design Inc.Challenge:

Degnan Design-Build-RemodelThis rustic cedar, 3 season room, was once an old porch that was suffering from a leaky roof and lack of maintenance. The homeowners wanted a larger porch, but one that did not interfere with a prized patch of blueberry bushes in their backyard. We extended the original footprint 5 feet, but still 4 feet narrower than the rest of the porch. This solution protected the blueberry bushes, and offered unique visual interest to the exterior and roofline of the home.
Balestri ArchitectsLow cost renovation of a classic pre-war apartment in Brooklyn, New York. The original floor plan of this one bedroom pre-war unit was simple and efficient, but the space suffered from over 90 years of neglect and poor maintenance.
The existing kitchen and bathrooms spaces were gutted and updated with new stone finishes and chrome fixtures. The linear kitchen layout was flipped to allow maximum natural light to the primary work areas. A new glass shower enclosure replaces the original tile shower stall to provide a more opening feeling.
New plaster finishes, minimal window treatments, door hardware, and custom furniture complete the renovation.
Normandy RemodelingThis home suffered from an outdated 1980s pink exterior for too many years. With changes to a few rooflines, the addition of fiber cement siding, and a new roof, this house has been brought into the current day, with a timeless style that will last for years.

Lincoln Lighthill ArchitectThis 100 year old home was in disrepair and suffering from a layout that left it dark and uninviting. By removing walls between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, and reconfiguring some awkwardly placed kitchen cabinetry from a previous renovation, Lincoln Lighthill Architect created a 50 foot long great room, flooding the space with light and views to the front and rear yards. A new built-in credenza replaces a full height wall and matches the existing kitchen casework, which gets a cost-effective update with a coat of white paint.
Samantha SmithPets can make our daily routines life more interesting. It is enough to find the videos with pets to make sure that they are so cute and funny. They know how to cheer up and to share their positive energy.
Often, children want to have a pet. However, before you go to the pet store, you need to decide for yourself the following questions.
1. Are you ready to take a full responsibility for the animal? This is not a toy to give, give back or throw. The animal is not a person, but it has a soul. It can be hurt. It also knows how to love.
2. Are you ready to become a true friend for an animal? It needs to be fed. You should give him leisure and walking and solve the issues of the toilet. You cannot bring it to the house as part of the new interior. He need your attention and serious care.
3. You will need to ensure the safety of those around him. For example, you need to control whether the dog does not hurt anyone, especially children. If the choice fell on the cat, try to make it not disturb the neighbors. Do not let snakes, spiders to walk alone on the street, sometimes they are and strive to get out of home. Love animals, but without fanaticism. They should not interfere a life of other people.
4. When you are ready to solve all these issues concerning the animal, it means that you really care about it. Can you fall in love with the animal as a member of your family? If you do not like it, then you will only irritate the duty to care for him. Both you and your animal will suffer.
5. Are you ready to take care of the health of the animal? After all, the animals can bring fleas or ringworm to your house. It is necessary to control that there are no such things, because in this case the animal becomes dangerous for people.
6. You need to give love and then it returns the positive energy to your. It is worth emphasizing, if you have a small child, the animal will teach your child the two main qualities: the ability to make friends and responsibility.
