M-S Pro Architects announce the completion of an indoor swimming pool in a state-of-the-art, single storey family home set in a picturesque location on the outskirts of Bratislava - one of Europe’s youngest capital cities. Kebony, a beautiful wood recommended by leading architects, was chosen to craft the ceiling of the swimming pool, which is designed to emulate rippling waves as well as for the terrace deck and structural beams. Sustainability and a desire to recreate the close proximity often seen between wood and water in the natural environment were primary focuses in the design of this project. This led a requirement for a low maintenance wood, compatible humidity and with advanced durability, for the swimming pool ceiling. In addition, a high level of precision when cutting the wood was required in order to achieve the desired appearance of waves. Supplied by Leading Market, Kebony was carefully selected for the pool ceiling, which consists of 490 lamellae of timber, due to its versatility, durability and environmental credentials. Kebony was also installed throughout the exterior of this property, both for the spacious outdoor terrace and the exterior and interior beams. One of the reasons to choose Kebony was the unified look of wood in all these different applications. Developed in Norway, the patented Kebony technology uses an environmentally friendly process, which permanently enhances the properties of sustainable softwood with a bio-based liquid derived from agricultural crop waste. By polymerising the wood’s cell wall with furfuryl alcohol, the wood gains greatly improved durability and dimensional stability, giving it characteristics similar to those of tropical hardwood. In creating a wood with comparable properties to tropical hardwood that can be grown in a FSC certified, sustainably managed forest, the demand for tropical woods is reduced, allowing timber to once again be an important part of sustainable construction. Tomáš Hubinský, Lead Architect at M-S Pro, commented: “From conception through to completion, the creation of this ceiling has been a real feat. Despite the challenges faced by such an intricate design, Kebony was the perfect material to convey our desired effect of waves rippling along the ceiling. We will continue to incorporate Kebony into our interior and exterior designs, with wood fast becoming the first choice material for all architects.” Mette Valen, Sales Manager Norway at Kebony, explained: “The distinctive nature of this design cleverly portrays the capability of Kebony, demonstrating both the aesthetic and performance qualities of the product. We would be honoured to work with M-S Pro in the future and look forward to seeing how they utilise Kebony in their future projects.”

This Beach inspired contemporary master bathroom is both beautiful and functional. Adding "His and Hers" vanities with deep undermount porcelain sinks gave this couple the space they needed to begin their day. Warm taupe tones in both the porcelain tile for floors and shower with taupe tone quartz countertops gave the backdrop for cool blue accents in both wall color and accessories. One of a kind custom reclaimed lumber mirror frames and driftwood accents juxtaposed the sleek contemporary elements in this space, Lighting was paramount in creating both drama and function. LED ceiling fixtures on dimmers, 8-light chandelier, wall mounted sconces and added accent up lights on both the tower and architectural wall shelf were all utilized to create a soft and effective lighting design.

This dark, claustrophobic kitchen was transformed into an open, vibrant space where the homeowner could showcase her original artwork while enjoying a fluid and well-designed space. Custom cabinetry materials include gray-washed white oak to compliment the new flooring, along with white gloss uppers and tall, bright blue cabinets. Details include a chef-style sink, quartz counters, motorized assist for heavy drawers and various cabinetry organizers. Jewelry-like artisan pulls are repeated throughout to bring it all together. The leather cabinet finish on the wet bar and display area is one of our favorite custom details. The coat closet was ‘concealed' by installing concealed hinges, touch-latch hardware, and painting it the color of the walls. Next to it, at the stair ledge, a recessed cubby was installed to utilize the otherwise unused space and create extra kitchen storage. The condo association had very strict guidelines stating no work could be done outside the hours of 9am-4:30pm, and no work on weekends or holidays. The elevator was required to be fully padded before transporting materials, and floor coverings needed to be placed in the hallways every morning and removed every afternoon. The condo association needed to be notified at least 5 days in advance if there was going to be loud noises due to construction. Work trucks were not allowed in the parking structure, and the city issued only two parking permits for on-street parking. These guidelines required detailed planning and execution in order to complete the project on schedule. Kraft took on all these challenges with ease and respect, completing the project complaint-free!

Homeowner Services of Michigan recently completed a comprehensive exterior restoration project for a professional building owned by a commercial property client. The client selected us for our ability to meet their specific needs and adhere to their timeline. A key requirement was to complete the project without disrupting the tenants of the complex. We began by carefully removing the old, outdated siding. Our team ensured minimal disturbance to the tenants by scheduling work during off-peak hours and utilizing sound-dampening techniques. Once the old siding was removed, we prepared the building’s inner sheath and applied advanced weather-sealing techniques to protect against moisture and improve insulation. Next, we installed high-quality HardieBoard cement composite siding in a deep slate blue color. This choice provided a modern and professional appearance. Our team ensured precise alignment and secure fastening for maximum durability. To complete the look, we installed contrasting regal gold trim, gutters, and downspouts. The regal gold trim highlighted the building’s architectural features, while the matching gutters and downspouts ensured efficient water drainage and added to the building's aesthetic appeal. The project was completed on time and within budget, with no disruption to the building’s tenants. The new exterior not only enhanced the building's curb appeal but also provided improved weather resistance and energy efficiency. The combination of deep slate blue HardieBoard siding and regal gold trim created a striking, professional look that perfectly aligned with the client’s vision.
