Toys can really begin to take over the house - so figuring out an organization system will not only make you happy but it's a great way to teach those tykes the importance of organization. An adjustable elf shelving system from The Container Store is perfect as your toy collection grows. We used elfa ventilated shelving here and left shelf space for finished projects.

Chicago home remodel with childrens playroom. The original lower level had all the amenities an adult family would want but lacked a space for young children. A large playroom was created below the sun room and outdoor terrace. The lower level provides ample play space for both the kids and adults. All cabinetry was crafted in-house at our cabinet shop.

A well-designed entry should set the intention for the entire home. It should be a combination of beauty and function and be representative of the people that occupy the residence. In this foyer, the Buddha's Dharmachakra Mudra gesture can be taken as a symbolic representation of Buddha teaching about dharma. This is the essence of my client.

The DACC Fluoroscopy Suite provides students with a space to observe and work with modern medical imagery equipment. Two spaces within the existing suite were modified to include an equipment room and a student observation room. The equipment room featured a RADPRO Solegra R/F Table which required the installation of lead lined gypsum board, a lead lined door and a lead lined window for viewing. The equipment control console was installed within the student observation room for interactive teaching. Other improvements to the space included electrical modifications, new lighting, new flooring and new wall finishes.

"Mom’s retiring after 30 years teaching poetry, Dad’s swapping spreadsheets for gardening. Their sunroom? Still stuck in '80s beige. ?✨ So I surprised them with feather lights — delicate white feathers wired into string lights, hanging above their rattan armchairs. The effect? Their favorite poems come to life in soft, breezy shadows. ? Why feathers?

www.cmarchitects.com The fishing pond at this project’s home ranch is down a steep slope, some distance from the main compound. To providing shelter from fast-moving storms, a lunch spot, or just a great place for a nap, the owners asked us to design a small fishing cabin. To ensure it blended in to its environment as much as possible, we chose indigenous materials—such as boulders displaced by mining and local reclaimed timbers—to help solidify the connection between the structure and the site. A sod roof seeded with native grasses and resident wildflowers further connects this structure to its surroundings. Now the fishing cabin is the favorite place for teaching the grandkids how to fish, or for a summer afternoon swim, or simply for reading a good book in front of the crackling fireplace.
