This project was started many years ago, but many upgrades were done this year. This is a sacred space meant to release all stress, and tension. It is great for grounding to connect with your creative side.

Robbinsville, NJ Kitchen remodel Our homeowner wanted to update the builders standard kitchen cabinets, with so many options available we where able to find a perfect blend that fit the budget and met the homeowner's expectations. Mission Maple with cognac finish cabinets matched with Silestone quartz tops created the look of this contemporary townhouse. Many thanks to all who worked on this project, especially our homeowner Peter. Photography by AJ. Malave

Mirrored wine closet featuring tension cable "RING system" wine racking - in a PGI Homes showhome in Cape Coral FL. Bottles appear to be floating as they are held up by this very contemporary wine rack using metal Rings suspended with aircraft tension cable. The columns anchor floor to ceiling allowing the wine closet effect to be enhanced by two glass doors and a mirrored wall feature behind the bottles.

In this beautiful luxury home in Boca Raton, Florida, Wine Cellar International utilized a high tension cable wire system to create the light delicate feel of the bottles appearing to float, leading to a magnificent end result.

This second-story addition to an already 'picture perfect' Naples home presented many challenges. The main tension between adding the many 'must haves' the client wanted on their second floor, but at the same time not overwhelming the first floor. Working with David Benner of Safety Harbor Builders was key in the design and construction process – keeping the critical aesthetic elements in check. The owners were very 'detail oriented' and actively involved throughout the process. The result was adding 924 sq ft to the 1,600 sq ft home, with the addition of a large Bonus/Game Room, Guest Suite, 1-1/2 Baths and Laundry. But most importantly — the second floor is in complete harmony with the first, it looks as it was always meant to be that way. ©Energy Smart Home Plans, Safety Harbor Builders, Glenn Hettinger Photography
