Through a thoughtful redesign of the exterior facade, this plain stucco house was transformed into a stately home. New bronze windows and a smashing contemporary front door with clear sidelights were installed. The underside of the eaves were painted bronze with new bronze gutters and chimney cladding. A symmetrical front porch design using black and white tile unified the apprach. Vertical green landscaping elements added contrast and filled empty spaces in the facade. Overall, an amazing transformation!

These navy blue pendant lights add a nautical node to this coastal space. The white cabinets and light counter tips contrast the dark hues of the wood on the bottom of the barstools and the underside of the island. The upholstered chairs add a touch of warmth to kitchen.

The client asked us to reconsider the front entry and associated landscape to give the house not only more curb appeal but to create a safer approach. The previous walkway was sloped and meandered for no apparent reason while the landscape plantings were overgrown and lacked the design aesthetic the client desired. We graded the area to eliminate the slope and straightened the walkway to compliment the homes contemporary architecture. We used custom cut bluestone in a modified running bond pattern for a unique look. Additionally, we widened the front stoop and added what we like to call a Hello / Goodbye terrace directly off the entrance landing. As guests arrive or depart, there’s a comfortable transition area that allows for quick conversation and an easy pedestrian flow. We simplified the plantings by using only 3 species, lavender, boxwood, and hydrangea, along the foundation while adding ornamental grasses for additional colors and textures in other areas. The back yard features a small deck overlooking a conservation area that we enlarged to create a dining area & a lounge with a sectional sofa. We choose a stainless steel railing system to open up the view and replaced the old wooden deck with a sustainable wood similar to mahogany called Ipe. We carried the Ipe over the side to create a horizontal lattice that encloses the underside of the deck for storage and adds to the contemporary feel of the home.

The warmth of the Walnut Cabinetry is juxtaposed beautifully against the grade two maple floors. This is a compilation of many textures that all work together in a visual quilt of textural intrigue.

This Gloster Raw Teak Log Stool / Side Table is constructed using the finest wood. Gloster teak is inspected thoroughly to ensure quality and is virtually unaffected by rain, sun, or snow, making it ideal for an outdoor log stool or side table. Because each of these pieces is unique, the diameter can range from 10 to 14 inches and the shape can vary. This Log Stool / Side Table is also reversible, so the Gloster logo will either be visible on top or hidden on the underside. Comes in a natural teak finish.

Martins Avenue is a beautiful, curved staircase made out of steel as the base material. Curved stairs are a challenge because you need to get the soffit (the underside of the staircase) curved and twisted around the base of the stairs to get the nice flowing lines. And because the timber work was outsourced to other builders, we had to work closely alongside them in order to get the soffit curved just right and ensure everything matched the flooring. The other big challenge was that the curved balustrade needed to be an identical match to the staircase and have a nice, smooth, curved line. In order to achieve this, we built both the steel stairs and balustrade in the shop at the same time and match drilled the balustrade through. Therefore when we brought it to site we knew it would fit perfectly. The angle on the bottom of the balustrade was designed to cover the junction or zig zag angle between the steel and the timber. Because of how this staircase had to be designed and built, it was extremely heavy and a challenging install. Additionally, as the walls of the site were all finished, we had to take all the necessary precautions to get the stairs installed without causing any damage or leaving any markings. Afterwards, the builders covered the underside with gib and closed risers to hide the cladding underneath. There was absolutely no room for error with this staircase and we at Stairworks, the builders and the clients are all extremely happy with the end result!

A screen system has been fastened to the underside of this deck to prevent insects from entering. Trex decking was used to ensure a clean and minimal maintenance space. Diamond piers were also used to create a solid structure.

This was a unique kitchen designed for a customer that loved symmetry. To complete this kitchen, we combined two cabinet lines. We selected Cabico for the island because of their customization ability. The island countertop as you can see was produced in glass and we had to make provisions for a recessed stainless-steel rail and cabinet tops to allow the installing of lighting to illuminate the underside if the glass. For the perimeter cabinets we selected our RTA (Ready-to-Assemble) Conestoga Wood cabinets as a cost effective alternative yet still offer the quality and precision the customer insisted upon.

A closeup of the front porch shows the attention to detail on the underside of the porch, and how the front door color connects and is inspired by the stone used on the risers of the flagstone steps, and as the foundation wall. At both true to the Craftsman connection to the natural world, and a modern color choice for a front door, the orange color also connects to the modern furnishings on the interior. The front door sets expectations, and should make a connection to the interior whenever possible.

This fence was constructed to provide safety, security, and curb appeal to the exposed front yard of this family home situated on busy Lincoln Drive in Paradise Valley, Arizona. The fence was designed as a modular panel system utilizing solid panels parallel to the road to block traffic noise. The solid panels weave between large palo verde trees and landscaping, and are supported by welded steel mesh sections that double as trellises for bougainvillea. The landscape lighting illuminates the undersides of the tree canopies in front of dark fence panels, while smaller plants are presented as textural silhouettes before a light washed wall.
