Porch and terrace repaired, redesigned, and revived for sunny, year-round space. These homeowners had an existing porch in their home, but it was failing. Both the porch and adjoining terrace were over the garage, which added technical complexity to building this project. The terrace had been redone and the structure was fine, but the porch structure was failing. It needed to be completely repaired. Since the space needed to be completely redone, the homeowners decided to not just recreate the old space, but redesign it and make it the bright year-round space they dreamed of. The final design choices include floor heat, to keep the space warm and cozy year-round, and full windows, to keep the bitter winter winds outside. What the homeowners most love about the room is that while the rest of the house is traditional and a bit darker, this room is always bright and cozy, with lots of light, year-round. The windows can open up during the summer season to let the sounds of the birds and scents of the grills in, or stay closed to enjoy bright sunlight during the winter. Year-round sunlight - without even needing to wear socks!

Built on a steep lakeside terrain, the Tsuga residence by Appareil Architecture is an ambitious project that required meticulous planning and flawless execution. Nestled within the rugged landscapes of Brownsburg-Chatham, Tsuga elevates a complex site to offer a seamless immersion in nature. Balancing the site’s constraints with a high level of finish, every phase of the project was designed to reconcile technical challenges with precision. Modulor expertly managed all collaborators, ensuring a level of detail that defines a project of this scale. On the exterior, the building envelope combines durability with refinement. Carefully selected natural wood cladding interacts with a perforated screen that filters light and adds depth to the façade. The integration of openings was strategically planned to maximize views while maintaining a cohesive architectural expression. Inside, the materials and finishes reflect the same commitment to quality. Wooden paneling wraps the spaces, creating visual continuity and a warm atmosphere. The stainless steel kitchen, with its clean lines and custom design, introduces a striking contrast between modernity and natural textures. Every junction, every material transition was meticulously crafted to ensure a flawless result, with no compromises on durability or functionality. Designed for an architectural historian and a musician and opera singer, Tsuga is the result of meticulous craftsmanship. A home built to stand the test of time, with an unwavering attention to detail.

While this design is technically a duplex, it has the feeling of two separate houses: both follow the same design language but each frontage is distinct, as opposed to the more common mirror-image duplex design. In turn, this orientation gives each home its own unique floorplan, maximising privacy, ventilation and natural daylight. Upon entering, one is drawn by the light down the long hall to the garden which lights up the ground floor. Your eye is also attracted to the shapes and lines created by the contemporary stairway. Meals with family and friends are a priority for this client and each home has all 4 bedrooms upstairs, with the ground floor dedicated to open-plan living. This unrestricted space further promotes the light and airy atmosphere. The street-corner duplex has at the back a large garage that faces the house and is fully open to the courtyard garden – this space doubles as a substantial undercover entertaining area. The other house also has guests spilling outside, with its alfresco dining verandah and plunge pool.

Other features include an infinity-edge pool, a large wine cellar, a standing seam metal roof, travertine paving and pool coping, and bluestone pathways.

Behind every stunning Morehouse Crafted Interiors project is a level of technical detail that ensures flawless execution. This elevation drawing for the Herring Residence Wet Bar highlights the meticulous planning involved in creating a high-functioning entertainment hub. From the exact placement of the under-shelf LED lighting to the strategic "Slab Seam Line" for the book-matched marble, every inch is accounted for. This 105-inch wide installation integrates premium amenities, including an under-counter refrigerator, ice maker, and designated trash pull-out, all wrapped in a sleek "CF-2 Black" cabinetry finish.

This Nashville project presented an exciting challenge with its technical requirements for soundproofing and acoustic design. Collaborating with the renowned local architecture firm Daniels and Chandler, we brought their vision to life. The client opted for a striking accent wall in the studio and a darker, contemporary aesthetic to enhance the space. We added a kitchenette featuring a vaulted ceiling, a stainless steel range hood, modern storage solutions, and custom millwork. The commercial bathroom was designed with functionality and clean lines in mind. Additionally, we built a custom wood fence around the property for added privacy and security, complemented by expanded paved parking with new striping for guest spaces. As experienced Nashville general contractors, we specialize in custom construction, luxury renovations, and unique design-build projects that blend style and practicality.

Reclaimed wood ceiling timbers in dark weathered tones frame the upper portion of this luxury golf simulator and man cave basement, their warm texture contrasting beautifully with the exposed brick walls and simulator screen to create a rich, layered material environment.

The wood adds warmth and character while letting the room's function remain front and center. At Manomin Resawn Timbers, every piece goes through a detailed process of denailing, kiln drying, and precision milling so that antique character is preserved while performing beautifully in any application. Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner looking to bring reclaimed wood into a golf simulator, home theater, or luxury basement entertainment space, Manomin Resawn Timbers has been helping people discover the antique charm of reclaimed wood since 2002.
