Minimalist design with slim compact body, combined with technical sophistication to the smallest detail is what defines TVIN 2.0 sliding system.

TVIN 2.0 comes in two shapes as rectangular or convex with a possibility of 3 finishes: aluminum, stainless steel or white RAL9010 which makes the system easy to customize with any interior design. If your opening has already frame , architraves and the wall has skirting installed, the sliding system TVIN 2.0 can be easily fit on the wall on top of the architrave with special adaptors that will push the door a bit further from the wall for a smooth sliding of the door. The TVIN 2.0 system has hidden some technical details from viewers, all aimed at the comfort in everyday use: the soft-closer slows the door when approaching the open and closed end position , closing it very slowly. With standard fitting on wall or ceiling installation, the TVIN 2.0 sliding system is designed for a wide range of applications. • TVIN 2.0 System with roller carriage for glass as standard can - with the appropriate adaptors be used for wooden doors. • On the other hand, the roller carriage in TVIN 2.0 System can be attached directly to wood elements, while enabling the use of adapter glass wings here, see below example: Further information about the TVIN 2.0 sliding door system can via email at contact@doors4uk.co.uk or contact directly Doors4UK at 01923800111.

The open, vaulted entry to the home is a serene passageway bookended with glass walls. The area is furnished with ottomans reminiscent of the pebbles and boulders found in the courtyard, which is visible when entering the home. A minimal steel staircase fills the atrium, ascending to the open, second level pavilion. Architecture and Interior Design by CLB – Jackson, Wyoming – Bozeman, Montana.

We honored the building’s history where possible, keeping original bones and character wherever possible, then layered in the clients’ distinct creative identity. On the main floor, we designed spaces that shift seamlessly from workday to reception-ready. Lighting was planned with intention, to preserve the original plaster ceilings and spotlight rotating installations without sacrificing ambient warmth. Custom built-ins maximize functionality while maintaining a distinctly un-officey feel. Upstairs, the artist apartment is a thoughtful retreat: adaptable, light-filled, and comfortable, with just enough quirk to spark inspiration. Even the basement—home to a full photography studio and workroom—balances technical needs with aesthetic ease. Throughout, we used color, texture, and collected pieces to ensure each room feels curated, not staged. Personal, not polished.

This four-story Victorian revival was amazing to see unfold; from replacing the foundation, building out the 1st floor, hoisting structural steel into place, and upgrading to in-floor radiant heat. This gorgeous “Old Lady” got all the bells and whistles. This quintessential Victorian presented itself with all the complications imaginable when bringing an early 1900’s home back to life. Our favorite task? The Custom woodwork: hand carving and installing over 200 florets to match historical home details. Anyone would be hard-pressed to see the transitions from existing to new, but we invite you to come and try for yourselves!

Kitchen – Integrated Tall Cabinet Concealing Mechanical Ductwork | Toronto This kitchen detail highlights a thoughtful design-build solution where mechanical requirements and cabinetry design work seamlessly together. Behind the tall cabinet beside the refrigerator is a large air supply duct, required by the mechanical engineer to properly deliver conditioned air to the newly added second floor. Rather than leaving the duct exposed or boxing it in as an obvious bulkhead, we strategically designed a shallow tall cabinet to conceal the ductwork. This approach maintains clean sightlines, preserves the kitchen’s modern aesthetic, and adds valuable storage space—turning a technical constraint into a functional design advantage. This level of coordination between mechanical engineering, cabinetry layout, and construction execution is critical in full-home renovations and second floor additions, where systems must be upgraded without compromising design. The result is a kitchen that looks intentional, uncluttered, and highly functional—without revealing the complexity behind the walls. This detail is a clear example of Cedarstone Group Inc.’s design-build philosophy: solve technical challenges early, integrate them thoughtfully, and make the final space feel effortless.

Brambledown is one of our most technically challenging and aesthetically pleasing projects in 2009.

Project Description Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Precision Home Installation This project features the professional installation of the next-generation Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 system. Known for their upgraded brightness and enhanced color rendering, these lights require a precise, calculated layout—especially since the manufacturer guidelines restrict cutting into the main line, presenting a unique installation challenge. Key Features of This Installation: Next-Gen Exterior Illumination: Outfitted with the newly released Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2, delivering brilliant architectural down-lighting, incredible holiday presets, and daily accent lighting. Creative Technical Problem Solving: Because these specialized strands could not be cut without voiding the integrity of the system, we meticulously engineered the run layout. To achieve a perfectly flush finish at the roofline edge, we successfully executed a custom shortening and capping technique on the final strands. Flawless Eave Integration: The lights were mounted at the optimal distance from the fascia to ensure a perfectly uniform, triangular cone wash down the home's exterior walls, eliminating hot spots and dark gaps. Smart Ecosystem Control: Fully integrated into the homeowner's smart ecosystem, allowing for voice control, scheduled automation, and endless customization through the native app interface. Our Specialized Lighting Expertise Smart lighting systems require more than just hanging a strand—they require precision planning. We specialize in handling high-end retail and commercial systems, providing: Advanced Layout Mapping: Ensuring your runs look symmetrical and perfectly tailored to your roofline before a single clip is mounted. Out-of-the-Box Troubleshooting: Finding safe, manufacturer-approved technical workarounds for complex roof lines where standard plug-and-play methods fall short. Clean Wire Management: Tucking and hiding all jump wires and power supplies for a seamless daytime appearance.
