EMPIRE Turf is a superior performer among warm season turfgrasses. EMPIRE thrives in demanding tropical climates, yet also exhibits excellent cold hardiness. EMPIRE will grow in sand, sandy loam, clay or muck. You can expect EMPIRE to retain fall color longer than many other turf selections and to greenup more quickly in the spring. EMPIRE is a durable and versatile turf variety but as with the selection of any turfgrass, you should understand your own unique local growing conditions prior to purchasing and installing EMPIRE or any other variety.

When they asked the design team to renovate their mid-century modern home, Rob Barnes and Karen Bisset knew that they were living in a well-designed space. They challenged the team to think like the original architect and retain the residence’s best qualities–the ample daylight, the exposed structure, the high quality craftsmanship, the clean and reserved material palette, and the understanding of how materials come together. In the expansion, they wanted more space for the kids, more privacy for the adults, and more openness in general.

For this project at Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Dara Davis looked to the history of the property as the starting point for the design. Research into the site's past uncovered original photographs and imagery from its earlier days as the Double U Dude Ranch. These historic elements became part of the finished interior, creating a connection between the Canyon Ranch of today and the story of the land that came before it. Original photographs were incorporated into the space alongside Western furnishings, natural materials and carefully selected pieces that reference Arizona's ranching history without making the interiors feel like a recreation of the past. The project reflects Dara's philosophy: understanding the history and character of a property, then finding meaningful ways to carry that story forward through contemporary design.

Faced with extensive water damage to their home, the Patel’s turned to Cantoni designer Andrea Petor to infuse new life into their family’s beloved weekend retreat in Montgomery, Texas. Balancing the client’s minimalist wants with their love of hosting, Andrea created a cohesive design to accommodate their frequent guests and large extended family. Beginning with the kitchen remodel, Andrea worked with the Patel’s to identify the best layout for the space, understanding it would be used regularly for entertaining. To maximize storage space, Andrea designed custom floor to ceiling cabinetry finished in high gloss white lacquer. She selected Miele optic white appliances to enhance the sleek design. Andrea had a custom dining table built into the island to provide ample seating and ensure the entire family could enjoy meals together. The kitchen’s monochromatic color palette was carried throughout the interiors allowing the home’s beautiful waterfront views to take center stage. Adding richness and texture to each room, Andrea selected sculptural, modern furnishings to complete the space and bring the Patel’s vision to life.

Photo by Jody Dole This charming farmhouse sits atop a grassy hill overlooking a serene Connecticut River Estuary. The new design reformulated the first floor plan making it much more functional and visually exciting. It encompassed the reorganization of multiple spaces including the Mudroom, Kitchen, Dining Room, Family Room, Sun Room, Laundry, Bathroom, and Master Closet. The design also added, deleted, and relocated windows and French doors to greatly enhance exterior views, draw in more natural light, and seamlessly upgrade the articulation of exterior elevations. Improvements to the plumbing and mechanical systems were also made. The overall feeling is both sophisticated and yet very much down to earth. John R.

Look for a designer whose portfolio demonstrates an understanding of light, materials, and spatial flow. Experience creating calm, restorative interiors is equally important. Lime plaster and soft matte finishes create depth while maintaining a natural softness. These surfaces reflect light gently and enhance a tranquil atmosphere.

The owners of this home in Westfield had a very unfortunate experience with their previous contractor. We can never seem to understand how some bad contractors can take advantage of such incredibly good people. As was the case here. This project was to add a mud-room and laundry room to the side of their home. The exterior of the addition needed a paver walk-way along with matching siding and trim work. The interior consists of tile flooring and wood steps and railings. It was great working for this family and we're glad they can replace their previously bad experience with a good one.
