Old office space converted into a wine enjoyment room with racking in the entire perimeter and a tasting table in the center to open bottles with drawer and underneath glass holder. The warmth effect desired was achieved with gold lacquered metal racks and oak wood slats and bottom cabinet. Warm white LEDs provided a cozy atmosphere that is also experienced thru a window that gives to the dining area. The cooling equipment was hidden in a unique wood perforated technical ceiling above. Overall a work of art.

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.

With exceptional technical experience, I am routinely called upon to manage a diverse range of installation projects. I work quickly and most houses usually only take a couple hours. Generally there are two job scenarios: if you know where everything is to be hung then I can start as soon as I arrive, and if you are unsure of where you would like your art hung, I will start by getting a sense of what art work you have and do a walk through of your home to get an understanding of the space. Once we have decided what layout makes the most of your collection, I start installation.

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.

Great design is in the details, and this technical elevation of the Herring Residence powder room highlights the rigorous planning behind our moody, modern aesthetic. To achieve the seamless "floating" effect of the vanity, we specified an exact 15-inch clearance from the floor, integrated with subtle under-cabinet LED lighting to enhance the room’s ambient glow. The drawing showcases the intentional balance between the expansive 43.5" x 84" plate glass mirror and the dramatic "Specialty Finish" 3D-textured wall. By mapping out the exact placement of the CF-3 cabinetry finish and the high-profile back-to-wall toilet, Morehouse Crafted Interiors ensures that every fixture aligns perfectly with the architectural grid of the space. This level of technical oversight is what allows our boldest creative visions to become functional realities.

At Morehouse Crafted Interiors, we specialize in seamless technology integration. This elevation for the Herring Residence fireplace illustrates our "quiet tech" approach, featuring a dedicated 4-inch recess for a TV bracket centered within a massive 96-inch slab veneer projection. By wrapping the slab material under the projection and across all sides of the hearth, we achieve a solid, architectural look that feels like a singular piece of stone. Key Technical Details: Linear Firebox: A Primo 72 firebox serves as the horizontal anchor, flanked by supports clad in black metal. Floating Hearth: The design features a layered hearth base with integrated lighting to create a "floating" effect, adding lightness to the substantial stone materials. Seamless Finish: The surrounding walls are specified in Sherwin-Williams 6705 "High Strung," providing a crisp, intentional backdrop to the slab's natural veining. Dimensional Accuracy: From the 56.5-inch TV centerline height to the 162.25-inch total assembly width, every measurement ensures perfect sightlines and ergonomic comfort.

Master Hydrotherapy Suite: Precision Tile Artistry & Integrated Tech This detailed perspective reveals the intricate layers of craftsmanship required to execute a high-performance 18-head steam shower. Beyond the technical plumbing, this shot showcases the custom-designed tile transitions and integrated lighting that turn a functional space into a visual masterpiece in Hayden, Idaho. Signature Craftsmanship Details: 18-Outlet Command Column: Visible here is the vertical array of massaging body sprayers and high-volume showerheads. This density of Kohler professional plumbing fixtures is meticulously spaced for total body coverage, all managed by the central computerized DTV system. Integrated Polk Audio Soundscape: Flanking the showerheads are the moisture-resistant Polk Audio speakers. We’ve built these directly into the wall assembly, providing a wireless, high-fidelity audio experience that maintains the room's sleek architectural lines. Artisan Niche & Mosaic Detail: The centerpiece of this wall is a deep-set shampoo niche, featuring a precision-installed linear LED light channel. We framed the niche with a sophisticated mosaic tile border, adding a layer of fine-scale texture that contrasts beautifully with the large-format field stone. Decorative Vertical Transitions: To emphasize the height and scale of the suite, we installed decorative accent tiles running floor-to-ceiling on the left and right. This vertical detail frames the plumbing and audio components, adding a sense of intentional, curated design to the technical wall. Seamless Stone Integration: The alignment of the mosaic details with the plumbing cutouts requires a high level of layout precision, ensuring that every sprayer and speaker is perfectly centered within the decorative tile framework.

Artisan Masonry: Precision Tile & Textural Contrast This view of the daughter’s bathroom highlights the high-end stone integration that defines the entire Hayden estate. We approached this shower not just as a utility, but as a showcase for large-format Italian porcelain and technical tile transitions. The result is a clean, sophisticated environment that balances modern durability with classic "Inland Northwest" textures. Craftsmanship & Technical Details: Large-Format Stone Integration: We utilized expansive Italian porcelain body tiles to create a monolithic, seamless look. This requires expert layout and substrate preparation to ensure the veining and texture flow naturally across the vertical surfaces. Recessed Architectural Niche: A signature detail of our custom builds is the integrated shampoo niche. Note the precision mitered edges and the mosaic tile backset, which provides a subtle textural contrast to the smooth field tile while offering durable, high-end functionality. Professional Oil-Rubbed Fixtures: The dark, high-contrast hardware provides a bold architectural accent against the grey-toned stone. This high-flow showerhead and pressure-balanced valve system are engineered for long-term reliability in a busy family home. Textural Balance: The cool, organic tones of the masonry are warmed by the surrounding Knotty Alder casings, creating a cohesive design language that ties this suite into the rest of the home's "Mountain Modern" aesthetic. Heavy-Duty Frameless Glass: To keep the focus on the intricate tile work and the recessed niche, we utilized a custom-cut, heavy-gauge frameless glass enclosure, ensuring the space feels open and high-end.

Stretch Ceiling Systems have provided the architectural, design, acoustical, and lighting communities with the most creative and technically advanced ceiling system on the market. Invented over three decades ago in Sweden as a remedy for damaged plaster ceilings, PVC stretch ceilings became an ideal solution for this particular situation. However, throughout the years, its numerous technical and aesthetic advantages made it a product of choice for unlimited applications.

A vacant, worn office space should be transformed into a show apartment / showroom. The existing space had been used as an office structure since the 1960s. Located on the 4th floor of a ten-floor reinforced concrete skeleton, the area is already high enough to receive a great amount of light, which is particularly noticeable at dawn and dusk: sunrises and sunsets conjure up the most spellbinding blends of light. The existing structure and also the technical equipment were completely outdated and needed to be completely rebuilt: suspended ceilings were removed and walls changed. The result is a modern city apartment of almost 100 m2 (about 1,070 sqft) – divided into a large living space, 2 rooms, 1 bathroom, 1 powder room and 1 utility room. The existing window facades could not be changed, but they are part of the concept anyway, namely to bring as much light as possible into the room. A controlled ventilation system ensures optimal air quality even with closed windows. The central kitchen element serves as a kind of separation of the living area and the dining area. Here customers and guests are served, people communicate, cook together, drink a glass of wine. Clients experience living. The rough reinforced concrete ribbed slaps were uncovered and painted white to give the room more height, which is accentuated by the lighting concept with ceiling-mounted spotlights. The dark oak floor creates a successful contrast to the brightly designed rooms. The wittily positioned pedestal areas hide all technical elements, such as the supply air openings of the living room ventilation. Flush-fitting door elements in the walls with a chalked brick look show in detail the special feature of the room. The central wall elements were deliberately not pulled up to the ceiling, but are separated by a glass element to show the continuity of the construction. Most of the furniture was designed by Wolfgang Pichler. Within the course of this project he was able to implement his holistic approach in the field of construction technology, architecture and furniture design and skillfully combine it with design classics. Scandinavian classics can be found in the concept just as much as pieces he collected during his career and furniture he developed for the company VITEO, which he founded in 2002. The project illustrates the added value of an architectural holistic approach.
