Aesthetic Value: The stair has a robust structure but looks like it is floating in the space. Stair Safety: With a comfortable rise of 7.25" and a unit tread width of 11" the stair is very comfortable to use. The thick box treads and close baluster spacing insure that the 4" rule is satisfied. Quality of Workmanship: Rift cut white Oak was used for the stair and lock mitered & dovetail joinery was used throughout. All exposed steel was sand blasted and acid dipped then treated with an etching solution. Technical Challenge: To design and engineer the stair to "float" even with a weight of over 6,000 pounds.

We contracted with Chester County Kitchen and Bath (CCKAB) to completely renovate our master bathroom first, followed by a complete kitchen renovation and the building of a family room addition off the kitchen. John Noland, the VP at CCKAB for such project development, was simply fantastic. He spent many hours with us, discussing our ideas of what we wanted the house to look like, and then he produced outstanding overall technical designs for each project before we ever signed the contract. John used his design software to develop dramatic and really useful drawings and graphic depictions of each aspect of the different projects; these drawings enabled us to refine the different projects over several weeks. John's initial cost estimates were spot-on, as was his proposed project timeline. When we added major changes to the original designs, John worked with us and the general (sub)contractor to incorporate the changes to the overall project without bursting the budget or blowing the timeline. John's able deputy, Stacy Nass, was simply amazing as the Project Manager. She juggled the scheduling of subcontractors, suppliers, cabinetry, appliance installation, etc. with aplomb and professionalism, and it was principally due to her careful attention to detail that the projects ran so smoothly and finished on time. The technical expertise of John, Stacy, and the rest of the staff at CCKAB are matched by their warm interpersonal skills. Having heard all the horror stories from friends about contractors they've used for home projects, we consider ourselves fortunate to have hired the folks from Chester County Kitchen and Bath. In the end, we were so very impressed with the final results - John and Stacy and their many collaborators really did help us create our dream home.

The Water Wise project was developed as a demonstration garden near Alton Baker Park in Eugene Oregon. This garden exhibits different ways we can think about water and use resources responsibly. The project was initiated by the Eugene Water and Electric Board in partnership with the city of Eugene, Nearby Nature, Satre Associates and LandCurrent landscape architects. LandCurrent was responsible for the design work , with technical support from Satre. The demonstration garden features water wise innovations such as a rain garden, bio swales, and a water harvesting cistern. It also includes a drought tolerant planting palette and lawn species. LandCurrent proposed a rain sculpture that functions as a cistern overflow through the principle of communicating veins

Using the existing staircase as a unifying element, this three-story penthouse was transformed from a glum 1980’s renovation into a bright and welcoming home. Due to technical reasons, the existing stair to the roof could not be removed. Instead it was re-imagined by replacing much of the stairwell enclosure with vertical aluminum elements tied together with custom millwork. Glass risers and polished chrome hardware give the stair just the right amount of sparkle. The dilapidated and dark roof penthouse was removed and reinvented as an open, zinc-clad family room with expansive views of Boston’s Back Bay and South End. With the introduction of splashes of color and modern furnishings, this Victorian home has entered the 21st century.

A large room was conditioned to have racking on 2 walls and a special metal and wood lighted tasting counter with wood swivel stools in center. Racks are modern with light painted metal accompanied by various transparent acrylic pieces and cables. Wood elements include technical ceiling and lighted cigar humidor as well. Table legs were bolted to floor and base covered by wood planks. Seats are stowed underneath when not in use. Warm but clean and modern as well.

A complete interior design project for a large family home, where every room tells its own story. The master bedroom features custom-designed furniture with geometric gold inlays and a dramatic marble accent wall. Three children's rooms were designed around each child's personality — a football-themed room with a chalkboard wardrobe, a gamer's room with neon ceiling lights and PlayStation details, and a sports-inspired room for a girl who plays football. The entrance hall features a custom mirror composition as an artistic statement. Full project scope: concept design, 3D visualization, technical drawings, custom furniture design, and material specifications. Style: Contemporary, Eclectic
