From stripping the floors down to the original Douglas Fir floors to repositioning cabinets and fitting a unique lighting fixture, this kitchen remodeling project was full of interesting challenges. The home owner collaborated with bright designlab and Hammer & Hand to create a dream kitchen perfect for a growing family. The kitchen features an elegant mix of white, steel, and wood.

Modern living with ocean breezes __ This is another development project EdenLA assisted the client to finish quickly and for top dollar. The fun challenge of more contemporary spaces is how to make them warm and inviting while still maintaining the overall masculine appeal of their architecture. Water features, playful custom abstract art, unique furniture layouts, and warm stone and cabinetry decisions all helped to achieve that in this space. Beach Life Construction implemented the architect's indoor-outdoor flow on the top floor beautifully as well. __ Kim Pritchard Photography

Custom Vanity by Komandor. The challenge with this vanity was to work around the bulkhead below the sink while still giving the appearance of “floating” above the floor. The high gloss drawers and unique glass sinks are the perfect contrast to the white cabinetry and countertop. Nothing fussy! Just very zen!

This unique deck house was a fun project and challenging at the same time. We removed walls and opened up the space between the kitchen and dining room. Check out the cool track lights on the ceiling. No option for recessed lights in this project. We used the following materials.. Bishop cabinets, Cambria Counters, GE Monogram Appliances, filled in the hardwood as needed and refinished.

A gorgeous home addition, perfect for empty nesters who love an elegant vibe that is cozy and sophisticated. This home was an open concept that played with blurring the lines of diverse material changes and a unique color palette inspired by color theory. Keeping the visual field calming yet intriguing was challenging, but every area create picturesque views from formal dining, to the breakfast nook, and double ceiling vaulted ceiling highlighted by a stone fireplace.

San Diego’s coastal climate and modern interiors make wallpaper installation a unique challenge. I’ve worked on commercial projects in offices, spas, and lobbies installing everything from textured vinyls to bold accent walls with clean, moisture-resistant results.

We always relish a good challenge, and this project was certainly unique!

The homeowners wanted to better use their outdoor space to feel like an extension of their home with several separate lounge and entertaining spaces. While they desired to keep the lawn for their kids, they also wanted to ensure there were enough private areas for adults. While these factors are typical for an Alderwood project, the challenges of this landscape made the final design incredibly unique. Rather quickly, our design team learned that a large septic system ran right underneath most of the backyard. Coordinating with city workers, the building architect, and the clients, our landscape architect crafted a unique design that worked around the drain constraints and accomplished each desire on the clients' list.
