How To Use Small Chandeliers According to Apartment Therapy: “You can add these to your "words to live by" list: never underestimate the power of good lighting. A beautifully decorated room can end up feeling like a cave and that chair you just had recovered in gorgeous flax colored linen can look sickly green if you lack adequate lighting. It's even more complicated in a small space. Creating the balance between too much and too little light, plus finding fixtures that won't overwhelm a petite space can take some trial and error.” Since the vast majority of condos and new and renovated homes are now open concept designs. Your lighting design for open concept floor plans should coordinate either in frame type, metal finish color and crystal style. The look should be cohesive but doesn’t have to be “matchy- matchy”... **Continue reading by clicking the link above!**

Tucked away in the backwoods of Torch Lake, this home marries “rustic” with the sleek elegance of modern. The combination of wood, stone and metal textures embrace the charm of a classic farmhouse. Although this is not your average farmhouse. The home is outfitted with a high performing system that seamlessly works with the design and architecture. The tall ceilings and windows allow ample natural light into the main room. Spire Integrated Systems installed Lutron QS Wireless motorized shades paired with Hartmann & Forbes windowcovers to offer privacy and block harsh light. The custom 18′ windowcover’s woven natural fabric complements the organic esthetics of the room. The shades are artfully concealed in the millwork when not in use. Spire installed B&W in-ceiling speakers and Sonance invisible in-wall speakers to deliver ambient music that emanates throughout the space with no visual footprint. Spire also installed a Sonance Landscape Audio System so the homeowner can enjoy music outside. Each system is easily controlled using Savant. Spire personalized the settings to the homeowner’s preference making controlling the home efficient and convenient.

Design rendering for a living room remodel in San Ramon, California, by Taragano Design & Build. Opening a ceiling to the roof structure creates volume and takes away the surface that used to hold the light. Skylights were placed in the new vault to replace what the flat ceiling was providing, which is the part homeowners underestimate when they ask to raise a ceiling. The fireplace was kept low and linear rather than built up as a mass. In a room this tall, a full height stone chimney would pull all the weight to one end. Holding the firebox down and letting the wall run plain above it keeps the height reading as height rather than as something to fill. Shelving is recessed into the wall on both sides so nothing projects into a room whose whole quality is uninterrupted plane. Storage was given to a low cabinet below rather than to anything that would break the surface. The tall window sits above the door line to bring light in without adding another opening at eye level, where the wall is doing compositional work. Licensed general contractor, CSLB #1143420.

Taragano Design & Build framing a detached accessory dwelling unit in Contra Costa County, California. An ADU is ground up construction on a lot that already has a house on it, and that is the part homeowners underestimate. New foundation, new framing, new service connections, all fitted into whatever space the setbacks leave behind an existing structure. The foundation determines the schedule more than anything else. Soil across much of this county is expansive clay, which means footing depth and reinforcement come out of a soils report rather than a standard detail. That report happens early, because what it says can change the design. Roof form was set at the framing stage rather than adjusted later. The shed slope pitches away from the main house, which keeps water off the existing structure and lets the tall wall face the yard where the glass goes. Detached units frequently need their own address and their own electrical meter, and in some cases a separate county permit after the city permit. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so we confirm them in writing during design. Licensed general contractor, CSLB #1143420. Diamond Certified.
