With much of the rear property abutting valley lands, we could utilize the vast sloped, open space between the home and street to our advantage to create a backyard oasis in the front of the house.
With large sliding glass doors, we view this as an opportunity to create a semi-private garden with undulating terrain, specimen plants, a cantilevered deck over a Koi Pond, with enough privacy to sit out with a morning coffee.
An irregular large stone slab walkway with ground cover adjacent to a smooth finished concrete driveway, Japanese Tea Lanterns and detailed lighting throughout creates a warm seasonal surprise for all.
This home was also featured in Toronto Life.

From the initial consultation call & property-visit, this Rancho Penasquitos, San Diego whole-home remodel was a collaborative effort between LionCraft Construction & our clients. As a Design & Build firm, we were able to utilize our design expertise and 44+ years of construction experience to help our clients achieve the home of their dreams. Through initial communication about texture, materials and style preferences, we were able to locate specific products and services that resulted in a gorgeous farmhouse design job with a modern twist, taking advantage of the bones of the home and some creative solutions to the clients’ existing problems.

Inspired by European villas, the palette for this home utilizes natural earth tones, along with molded eaves, precast columns, and stone veneer. The design takes full advantage of natural valley view corridors as well as negating the line between interior and exterior living. The use of windows and French doors allows virtually every room in the residence to open up onto the spacious pool courtyard. This allows for an extension of the indoor activities to the exterior.

The layout of this home again took maximum advantage of the site with the Great Room and family accommodation facing the one fairway. The utility area formed a second side and the garage block a third forming a private courtyard. The garage block provides the property privacy from the road with a small tower to stand guard. Large sweeping eyebrows were added to provide additional light to the vaulted ceiling of the great room.
Northern Roof Tiles was granted a degree of freedom by the client to create an aged and weathered look to the roof.

This 28 unit project consists of four seven unit multi-family homes just two blocks away from Sloan’s Lake. The design takes advantage of city and mountain views while gathering around a private urban park and garden. The genesis of the project creates a community within the neighborhood. This project is designed for LEED Gold certification, is solar ready, and utilizes a district geothermal (ground source) heat-pump system for mechanical heating and cooling .

This project features a true, classic sunroom in the earliest tradition of the New England concept. Utilizing large, top quality, energy efficient windows with a solid mahogany wood frame roof, we provided the client with a contemporary look and feel. Taking advantage of the lovely view to the rear of their home, the clients wanted to bring that outdoor feeling indoors. The roof was glazed with insulated glass units which utilized soft coat Low E and Argon gas for solid performance in any weather. The room is also fully conditioned so that it remains functional in any of New England’s diverse seasons.
Another important facet of the project was the need to provide direct access to the new sunroom from the existing kitchen. This would allow the vista to be clearly visible while in the kitchen or in the sunroom. We used a gable-style or “pitched glass” roof so as to introduce additional height in the center of the space. This allowed for the best possible view of the exterior from the kitchen while blending with the existing house architecture. This classic New England sunroom gets it done in all the ways that matter.

The house utilizes a variety of aluminum-clad windows and patio doors from Weather Shield, a leading window and door manufacturer based in Medford, WI. In the home, you’ll find wall-to-wall French picture patio sliding doors with no trim, allowing for maximum visibility and natural lighting. Fixed pane windows with expansive views are found throughout the home, maximizing the view of the water and creating an interior environment with exceptional natural lighting.
On the interior, the windows feature real milled wood frames, pairing the modern styling home with the classical aesthetic and warmth of real wood windows.
The window style in this house is modern with large expanses of glass designed to take full advantage of the waterfront views.

Step 5: Easy-to-Install Flooring: Like the wall tiles, the flooring was in pretty solid shape but far from stylish. So with the help of a gorgeous line of linoleum tiles I gave the bathroom floor a major upgrade. There are some really huge advantages to working with linoleum. For starters, installing it is super easy, and you need only a utility knife to cut it and a little contact cement to hold it in place.

PBA designed the renovation of this two story, 1,800 square foot, Henderson’s Wharf penthouse condominium in the historic Fell’s Point community to take advantage of the breathtaking views of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. The existing floor plan was configured with living spaces on the lower level, and bedrooms with terraces on the upper level: PBA inverted the layout by creating a generous foyer at the lower level entry with a stair leading to the living spaces on the upper level. The lower level was renovated for a master suite and guest bedroom, while the upper floor was converted to an open great room taking advantage of the breathtaking views of the Harbor (along with a powder room, office and laundry room). The project presented very difficult challenges since sanitary plumbing lines could not be relocated due to the unavailability of access from the unit below, so the design was forced to conform with existing lower level plumbing locations. In addition, PBA utilized computer aided design (BIM) to route ductwork throughout the unit due to extremely limited space.

In episode 6, The Man Wants a Tub!, Melissa and Jenna utilize the modern PUZZLE PIECE tile in Beehive on our recycled Polar Ice Terrazzo as the feature accent wall surrounding the brand new bath tub. They took advantage of the versatility of this mid-century tile by alternating the tiles in different directions to create a unique layout. As you can see below, the overall design is one-of-a-kind for their client.
