Our new clients wanted to perform updates to their Medfield kitchen. Rather than installing brand new cabinetry, our talented paint crew refinished the main cabinetry with Benjamin Moore White Dove while contrasting the kitchen island with Benjamin Moore Silver Spring. New Quartz counters in Alleanza Waterfall was installed, along with a beautiful mosaic tile backsplash. A beautiful Italian made farmhouse sink and light fixtures tie to space together.

This Minneapolis garage, named after the Owner’s beloved dog Harry, is an example of attention to detail, both in design and execution. The client set out to create a new garage to match his historic home. He wanted a garage that could do both: store his car and host late afternoon soirees. The bar faces the home to create an inviting backyard courtyard. The bar’s custom rolling screen rolls up to reveal a bar countertop, which creates a welcoming spot for friends and family to gather. Careful consideration was made to match the historic home’s turn-of-century brick color and the brick coursing (pattern). Unfortunately, the closest color matched brick was the wrong size. Thus, we worked with talented craftspeople at Welch Foresman to cut each brick in half, which turned the large utility bricks into slimmer Roman bricks. We drew the specific brick coursing to ensure that the structure would match the historic proportions of the home.

We worked with the talented Katie Porter of KP Design studio to help bring her design of this bedroom set to life. The hallmark of this mini collection is the intersection of wood and metal to create something that is unique, beautiful and functional with heirloom durability. The first thing that the eye is drawn to are the steel legs that wrap all the way around the case. These function as as support of the case and the leg base. The tops are laminated steel with a patina applied to give a nice subtle visual interest without being overpowering or distracting. The added benefit to the steel is that the client will not have to worry about their guests using coasters for drinks! Finally, to ensure that we controlled for any seasonal wood movement that would cause issues inside of the steel wrapping, we created our own shop sawn veneers to wrap all of the cases and drawer fronts. This keeps the pieces stable and contains wood movement while giving allowing us to create grain patterns that are pleasing to the eye and flow through the piece. This Ash wood of this collection was finished with a rich dark brown which is a lovely contrast to the lighter colors in the finished space. We hope that you enjoy looking at them as much as we enjoyed building them!

In addition to its line of beautiful custom glass products like sunrooms, conservatories, orangeries, greenhouses, and pool enclosures, Sunspace Design is also capable of meeting a client’s general construction needs. Not every project fits neatly into one of the previously mentioned categories, and we pride ourselves on having the flexibility to tailor a solution to your particular design challenges. This particular client was interested in creating a family space featuring an exterior element: a large deck and hot tub. The challenge was to provide screening for the deck and hot tub in a neighborhood setting and at the same time provide the high levels of natural light desired for the interior space. To accomplish this, Sunspace utilized an open ceiling concept so as to provide a large glass area high above the floor. The introduction of this ceiling flooded light into the space and ensured that the privacy hot tub screening constructed around the deck would not negatively impact the interior light levels. By working closely with the client at every step of the process, Sunspace achieved a design that worked well with the existing architecture of the home. Through careful planning and talented execution, we achieved a lovely transition to and from this beautiful and functional space. The client was left with a room to be used by the family all year, and a great environment for relaxing in the outdoors.

At Archadeck of Nova Scotia we love any size project big or small. But, that being said, we have a soft spot for the projects that let us show off our talents! This Halifax house was no exception. The owners wanted a space to suit their outdoor lifestyle with materials to last far into the future. The choices were quite simple: stone veneer, Timbertech composite decking and glass railing. What better way to create that stability than with a solid foundation, concrete columns and decorative stone veneer? The posts were all wrapped with stone and match the retaining wall which was installed to help with soil retention and give the backyard more definition (it’s not too hard on the eyes either). A set of well-lit steps will guide you up the multi-level deck. The built-in planters soften the hardness of the Timbertech composite deck and provide a little visual relief. The two-tone aesthetic of the deck and railing are a stunning feature which plays up contrasting tones. From there it’s a game of musical chairs; we recommend the big round one on a September evening with a glass of wine and cozy blanket. We haven’t gotten there quite yet, but this property has an amazing view (you will see soon enough!). As to not spoil the view, we installed TImbertech composite railing with glass panels. This allows you to take in the surrounding sights while relaxing and not have those pesky balusters in the way. In any Canadian backyard, there is always the dilemma of dealing with mosquitoes and black flies! Our solution to this itchy problem is to incorporate a screen room as part of your design. This screen room in particular has space for dining and lounging around a fireplace, perfect for the colder evenings! Ahhh…there’s the view! From the top level of the deck you can really get an appreciation for Nova Scotia. Life looks pretty good from the top of a multi-level deck. Once again, we installed a composite and glass railing on the new composite deck to capture the scenery. What puts the cherry on top of this project is the balcony! One of the greatest benefits of composite decking and railing is that it can be curved to create beautiful soft edges. Imagine sipping your morning coffee and watching the sunrise over the water. If you want to know more about composite decking, railing or anything else you’ve seen that sparks your interest; give us a call! We’d love to hear from you.

Every home has a story, and this one began with a simple, meaningful goal: creating a beautiful pied-à-terre that would keep our client close to the people she loves most. Working alongside a client with extensive construction knowledge made the design process especially rewarding. Together, we focused on making every square foot work harder without sacrificing style. The kitchen and bathroom became showcases of thoughtful planning, incorporating clever storage solutions, hidden organizational features, and custom details that maximize both function and everyday living. Great design is only possible when it’s paired with exceptional craftsmanship. Thanks to our talented contractor, every creative idea was carefully brought to life with precision and attention to detail. The result is a sophisticated retreat that feels spacious, organized, and effortlessly livable—a home where smart design quietly enhances every moment.

Take a peek at one of our newest kitchen renovation projects in Slingerlands! This project was led by the talented Project Manager, Tony Cicchino, and creative genius Sarah McDonald as the Designer. Our clients had a vision to transform their outdated kitchen into a gourmet cook’s dream. The goal was to update the colors and features, using the dark blue cabinets as the focal point while incorporating trendy gold accents for that extra pizazz! To maintain a cohesive flow throughout the home, we extended the flooring into the adjoining living area and the homeowner added touches of blue, reminiscent of the dark hue found in the kitchen. The seamless transition ensures a harmonious ambiance that captivates the eye. Knowing our client’s passion for cooking, we created a customized kitchen space that perfectly caters to their needs. The custom island provides a spacious top that offers additional seating, room for prepping, and is the perfect meeting spot between the two spaces. The transformation is truly breathtaking, and we couldn’t be happier with the amazing job our Bennett team did in making this masterpiece come to life. If you’re looking to revamp your kitchen into a personalized haven, just like our amazing clients did, reach out to Bennett today! We can create a space that inspires culinary magic together.
