Our team of Austin architects decided to keep the kitchen in its original location but add almost 300 square feet to accommodate a large island with seating, a scullery, and a pantry. Additionally, we removed the existing walls to open the kitchen to the main living area. Unique design features include a wall of emerald green cabinets, a custom plaster range hood, brick backsplash accents, and wire mesh front upper cabinets. The large scullery provides further storage and a practical workspace, featuring a supplemental sink and dishwasher.

The Nikos Sofa designed by Sergio Bicego The Nikos family of seats has been supplemented with a low armchair, Nikos low, a quilted version, Nikos ego, and a settee, Nikos Sofa, distinguished by soft and attractive silhouettes. Cozy and comfortable, the new entries in the Nikos collection are especially comfortable thanks to the soft down padding and ergonomically-designed lower back cushion which supports the lower back area.

This house features FSC birch, cherry, and maple throughout. The polished concrete floor with in-floor heat is also throughout the home. Finishes are low VOC and formaldehyde-free. The Raise Mino II wood-burning stove is aesthetic and also a source for supplemental heat if desired. Daylight is abundant. Kitchen countertop is IceStone, color of Aurora Gold. KitchenAid range, wall oven, microwave and dishwasher. Kitchen cabinetry is FSC certified Cherry.

This particular project brought great pride to our Regal, it was a perfect example of the ingenious collaboration of design ideas between the client and Sean. An open design concept must be executed with space and functionality in mind. This project accomplished just that. The tray ceilings and recessed lighting convey an artistic architectural design that supplemented the expansiveness of the entire space.

Rock outcroppings make a striking background for new lounge areas in this compact Los Angeles hillside garden. Working with the attributes of the site, we added native plants to drape over the stone, and converted hollowed stone planters into a firepit and water feature. New built-in seating and a cozy hammock complete the relaxing space, and dramatic lighting makes it come alive at night. Photo by Martin Cox Photography.

In this project, we added 1,100 sf to this home for a convenient In-law suite. The bedroom and other living areas feature white walls with white trim, grey hardwood flooring, and bay windows with white trim for lots of natural lighting supplemented by recessed lighting in strategic locations long the tray ceiling.

A brand-new two bedroom laneway suite with a large balcony, perfect for aging-in-place or supplemental income, complements the renovated exterior on this charming bungalow. A new private porch complete with outdoor heater, ceiling fan and hidden storage completes the transformation. This is a thoughtful alternative to typical inner-city redevelopment, which allows for preservation of the existing home.

Minimalist and clean design in the highly functional kitchen. The cooking appliances including a double-oven, below-counter speed oven, and induction range are surrounded by countertops to allow for excellent cooking efficiency. An in-counter compost bin lid helps for quick clean up, while all of the trash, compost, and recycling are kept in the same pull-out drawer to keep them out of sight. The kitchen was designed to take advantage of existing frosted windows which supplement the overhead and under-cabinet lighting, illuminating the working surface from all angles.

Every aspect of sustainable design was incorporated into the house from Passivhaus principles and renewable energy to rainwater harvesting and natural materials. The zinc roof is integrated with solar panels to provide both electricity and hot water which is supplemented by a wood pellet boiler system to provide underfloor heating. In addition, rainwater from the roof is harvested for WC flushing and garden use. Natural materials that are low in embodied energy have been used throughout including hemp insulation, oak cladding, zinc roofing and lime render. The living room roof also features a green sedum roof. To create a healthy interior for their young family the clients opted for natural paints and oils and have avoided all materials that off-gas toxic bi-products.

This kitchen and dining area features large windows and an open space shared between them. The kitchen has a peninsula that could provide extra seating if desired due to the countertop's large overhang. Over the peninsula are a pair of pendant lights, and the pendants are supplemented by recessed lighting, as well as the many windows throughout the space.
