Feel the classic touch of vintage flair in my elegant yet mesmerizing living space with soothing interior designs. Not every day, you might visit a classic blend of charming designs fused with contemporary comfort. Initially, I picked up deeper tones to transition the space with an aesthetic appeal. Further, I opted to fuse a seamless touch of sophistication and creativity to my overall design so you won't have to invest more in different spaces matching your ideal choice. From Adrian Pearsall's vintage sofa upholstered in Plum bouclé fabric to the beautiful addition of wood mosaic wall art by Marie Burgos Interior Design, cocktail table, and cocoa accent table, all the furniture pieces are thoughtfully integrated to make this living space look luxurious and endearing. At last, I also introduced a touch of industrial elegance with a 1930s American Office Chair, newly reupholstered in luxurious leather to ensure maximum comfort for our valued clientele.

SHINGLE ROOF REPLACEMENT Northmen Roofing, as a “specialty” roofing contractor, tackles the most difficult waterproofing challenges on a daily basis and we pride ourselves on the ability to extend the life of a roof system for maximum comfort and value. Unfortunately, not all roofs can be repaired and sometimes it’s simply time for a full roof replacement. Some fail due to poor installation or materials but in most cases the Florida sun and rain is enough to weather a roof faster than any geography in the county with the cost/risk associated with a repair being prohibitive. This particular shingle re-roof, using CertainTeed Landmark shingles, was completed in beautiful Winter Park, FL. Utilizing our in house metal fabrication custom brick step flashings and dark drip edge metals were fabricated to match the metal panels installed on the awnings giving this property a wonderful custom look and feel. The dead valley was expertly treated to prevent leaks in the most vulnerable part of the roof system. Valleys are treated with metal and self adhesive underlayment exceeding Florida building code. As with all roof services, this is backed by a no hassle warranty from the Northmen Roofing technicians who specialize in complex repairs! Contact Northmen Roofing if you would like to speak with a roofing specialist. Experience matters! Visit us at https://www.northmenroofing.com or call (407) 498-2137.

We removed three walls to open this kitchen up to the great room and breakfast area so the family and guests could visit while meals are being prepared. The custom cabinetry, designed by Bay Area Kitchens, was meticulously hand crafted to our exact specifications by Wood-Mode Custom Cabinetry in Kreamer, PA. A medium gray stain was applied to the solid walnut 1" thick doors and drawer fronts. The cabinets were designed and accessorized to maximize storage space and convenient access, including various sizes and depths of drawers, pull-out racks, tray dividers and a heavy-duty mixer base. The built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, combination convection steam oven and single convection oven, 48" rangetop with six dual burners plus a flat-top griddle, and microwave drawer are the heart of this true gourmet kitchen. Appropriate appliances are Wi-Fi connected for maximum convenience. Topping off the custom cabinetry are Cambria quartz countertops, plus two solid walnut countertops with "live" edges by Grothouse. We also installed an automated LED lighting system including cabinet interior lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and LED recessed cans, all controlled by Lutron's RadioRA wireless lighting control system. All the lighting can be controlled by any of the five wall panels, or by an iPhone or iPad. The cabinets are also equipped with an integrated stereo sound system completely concealed within the cabinets.

The Dallas Builders Association’s Parade of Homes — presented by Atmos Energy — will hold open six luxury Dallas residences from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 7. This scattered-site, self-guided tour benefits Operation FINALLY HOME, an organization that provides custom mortgage-free homes to combat-wounded U.S. military veterans and their families. The Association’s eighth project is currently underway in Irving. Featured homes are situated in several neighborhoods in Dallas, including Briarwood, Midway Hollow, and East Dallas near White Rock Lake, as well as in West Dallas just south of the Trinity River. Hoffmann Homes builds award-winning innovative green homes using quality materials, sustainable building practices, smart technologies, and reliable and efficient energy sources for maximum comfort. Pioneering home builder and residential developer Alan Hoffmann was first inspired to pursue alternative construction methods after visiting his ancestral home on the Spanish island of Ibiza. The 400 year old home had three-foot thick perimeter walls comprised of stone excavated from the building site. The mass of these walls allowed the ground’s ambient temperature to conduct up through the walls to keep the house cool in the summer and warmer in the winter. Hoffmann replicates this elegantly simple system today in his distinctive mode of construction with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs). Our Parade of Homes build in the Abode @ White Rock community is 2111 Autumn Sage Place. Old-world features such as thick thermal mass walls, breezeways and whitewashed cement finishes are reimagined in a modern context in Hoffmann Homes’ newest build. Situated in the Abode @ White Rock green community, the home features high-performance windows, proper housing orientation and a storm shelter/pantry. Each home in the community is certified with the Department of Energy’s Net Zero Ready program, Energy Star Program and Green Built Texas. While every Hoffmann Home starts with a high-performance building envelope (ICF), they also include conditioned attics, seal combustion furnaces, whole house dehumidification, whole house water filtration for indoor air and water quality. The homes are also solar-ready and are pre-wired for rapid electric vehicle charging. Other features include a natural gas tankless water heater, high-efficiency gas furnace, sealed combustion gas fireplace. These natural gas appliances help reduce energy use, lower utility costs and reduce emissions while increasing homeowner comfort. For more info visit www.hoffmannhomes.com. Tickets for the Parade of Homes are $25 for ages 12 and older. They are available at ParadeofHomesDallas.com. Tour maps will be emailed to ticket holders a week prior to the event.

The living room furniture wasn’t doing our clients any favours. The comfort they once sought in the room had turned to lethargy, and they wanted to liven things up. (When the sag in your sofa turns you into a human burrito, it’s time to let go.) Before we brought in the new, however, we wanted to focus on functionality. How was the space going to be used? Our clients love to host casual get togethers with family and friends, and they love a family movie night, so we knew ample seating was a must-have. We also wanted to make the living room feel as big as it actually is. Something to note: Let your furniture breathe! Allow for plenty of clearance between your furniture; don’t fill up your space with furniture just because the space allows for it. We got rid of the bookshelf and console table behind the sofa, which opened up the space for entertaining or for movie nights. Our clients now have room for a Christmas tree in the corner! Now the space is modern, purposeful, and oh so cozy! We stopped at nothing to make this living room feel as inviting as possible. The detailed tile in the fireplace, the textures in the accessories and pillows, and the various wood tones all work together to create comfort and style. And please don’t worry about mixing wood tones. When done with the right balance, the different shades will add warmth and depth to any space. Ottomans are the perfect way to maximize seating and comfort. They can be used for extra seating or pulled over to a sofa to rest the legs for maximum lounging. Now that there’s plenty of clearance between the cocktail table and sofas, our clients have the space to move these versatile pieces around. Thank you for visiting! We’re always honoured to share our transformed and updated homes! We hope you love this cozy living room as much as our clients do.

SDH Studio - Architecture and Design Location: Boca Raton, Florida, USA Set on a 8800 Sq. Ft. lot in Boca Raton waterway, this contemporary design captures the warmth and hospitality of its owner. A sequence of cantilevering covered terraces provide the stage for outdoor entertaining.

M Residence (Residential Project) Constructed 1999 Location :Chandigarh A House Shaped by Frugal Engineering and Expansive Imagination I had designed his factory years earlier — and he must have been pleased with the outcome. A 6,000 sq. ft. multi-storied factory conceived for an entirely new product line, marking a decisive shift from decades of manufacturing a declining product. A careful analysis of the production dynamics led to a vertical organization of spaces, with multiple floor plates interconnected through the sequence of manufacturing operations. The heavy-duty work was concentrated in the basement, where storage for steel and brass raw materials and components was planned. Remarkably, the entire structure stood on just ten columns, each with a mere 30 cm square cross-section — a fact that still gives one nightmares. At the time, it was also the tallest structure in the area. That same philosophy of frugal engineering later became the guiding principle for an addition to the family residence, more than a decade afterward. A narrow strip only 22 feet wide and less than 50 feet deep had to accommodate an entirely new home for a growing family moving steadily upward in life. The response was straightforward — a similarly efficient column-frame structure designed to extract the maximum usable space from the compact 22' × 50' site. We began with a semi-basement, using battered retaining walls integrated with the structural columns to counter the thrust from the existing foundations along the length of the original house. A courtyard was introduced to preserve light and ventilation for the older structure, while also providing access to an elevator for a disabled family member. This naturally required ramps and seamless wheelchair mobility throughout. Maintaining connectivity with the old house was equally essential. The result was a split-level home with interconnected vertical spaces spanning all three floors, linked by shallow, comfortable steps that made movement easy for everyone. The extension evolved into a house of remarkable generosity — with five bedrooms, study rooms, dens, stores, walk-in closets, box rooms, drawing and dining spaces, lounges, enclosed verandahs, a games room, jacuzzis, decks and balconies, servant quarters, waterfalls, rainwater harvesting systems, SPV installations, solar chimney-assisted ventilation, and nearly every innovation one could imagine at the turn of the millennium. We were also experimenting with what were then cutting-edge materials and technologies: 2' × 2' vitrified tiles brought all the way from Bombay, CFL lighting long before LEDs arrived, copper and composite aluminium plumbing, and solar water heating. Insulated glazing, integrated Venetian blinds, security systems, and emergency low-voltage lighting were all incorporated with enthusiasm. Wooden flooring in toilets and insulated foam concrete walls were considered radical ideas at the time. Architecture students frequently visited the house for field studies. The owners’ young son would often dive into the pool before even entering the house, while the little daughter happily inhabited her own magical corner of it. And for the architect — there was always a wonderful cup of coffee waiting on every visit. Needless to say, there still is.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey
