Example of a large transitional u-shaped medium tone wood floor and brown floor kitchen design in San Francisco with a farmhouse sink, shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, white backsplash, brick backsplash, stainless steel appliances, white countertops, gray cabinets and an island

Best of Houzz Kitchen Design 2016 winner. A custom kitchen remodel was one of the final projects for this beautiful Georgian Century Home. All the details were part of the effort to maintain the feel of an old kitchen but with all the most current conveniences. Notice the glass cabinet hung in front of a window, granite counter top repeated as the back splash, porcelain tiles that mimic wood and marble on the floor, a stunning island light and the coffered ceiling.

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   One of my favorite things to work on is older homes with a bit of history because I find it an interesting challenge to marry the historical architectural features of a home with modern design elements that work well for my client’s current lifestyle. This home was particularly fun because it was the second kitchen we had done for this family and was quite a departure from the style of the first kitchen. The before shot of the kitchen shows a view from the family room. See the dropped ceiling? We were curious, was this just part of the design or was the dropped ceiling there to hide mechanicals? Well we soon found out that it was mostly decorative (yay!), and with the exception of a little bit of work to some plumbing from an upstairs bathroom and rerouting of the ventilation system within the original floor joists, we were in the clear, phew! The shot of the completed kitchen from roughly the same vantage point shows how much taller the ceilings are. It makes a huge difference in the feel of the space. Dark and gloomy turned fresh and light! Another serious consideration was what do we do with the skinny transom window above the refrigerator. After much back and forth, we decided to eliminate it and do some open shelving instead. This ended up being one of the nicest areas in the room. I am calling it the “fun zone” because it houses all the barware, wine cubbies and a bar fridge — the perfect little buffet spot for entertaining. It is flanked on either side by pull out pantries that I’m sure will get a ton of use. Since the neighboring room has literally three walls of almost full height windows, the kitchen gets plenty of light. The gold shelving brackets, large pendant fixtures over the island and the tile mural behind the range all pay subtle homage to the home’s prairie style architecture and bring a bit of sparkle to the room. Even though the room is quite large, the work triangle is very tight with the large Subzero fridge, sink and range all nearby for easy maneuvering during meal prep. There is seating for four at the island, and work aisles are generous.

This 60's Style Ranch home was recently remodeled to withhold the Barley Pfeiffer standard. This home features large 8' vaulted ceilings, accented with stunning premium white oak wood. The large steel-frame windows and front door allow for the infiltration of natural light; specifically designed to let light in without heating the house. The fireplace is original to the home, but has been resurfaced with hand troweled plaster. Special design features include the rising master bath mirror to allow for additional storage.

Wellness is at the heart of this home, offering a resort-level experience designed to nurture both body and mind. The residence includes an array of luxurious amenities that transform daily life into a continuous retreat. A large pool for relaxation and recreation and a hot pool for therapeutic benefits and stress relief. Also, a sauna and a private gym. Every element of the wellness amenities is thoughtfully designed to enhance the well-being of the occupants, making wellness an integral part of everyday living.

This meditation corridor was designed as a transitional space that gently guides visitors from the outside world into a calm, restorative environment. Inspired by traditional Japanese architecture, the hallway features warm white oak detailing, shoji-style screens, natural stone, and an indoor Zen garden that encourages mindfulness with every step. Soft lighting, natural textures, and biophilic design elements create a peaceful rhythm throughout the circulation path, transforming a simple hallway into an intentional experience. Every detail was carefully considered to reduce visual clutter, strengthen the connection to nature, and prepare guests for yoga, meditation, and wellness practices. This conceptual rendering embodies Chanova Design's philosophy of creating holistic environments where every space, including transitional areas, contributes to a seamless journey of relaxation, balance, and well-being.

Taking care of oneself. Rediscovering well-being in a relaxing environment, comprising natural elements, allowing yourselves to unwind surrounded by gentle, de-stressing shades. Laminam is also ideal for use in the most sensitive settings such as spas and steam rooms, because it is a totally natural material, resistant to humidity, completely hygienic, practical for use as both wall cladding as well as a supporting surface because it is joint-free. The surfaces reproduce the essence of a natural quarry and allow perfectly specular styling combinations to be achieved. The perfect example of an application in wellness scenarios is the swimming pool at Seylynn Village in Canada. Situated in the thriving heart of North Shore in Vancouver, Seylynn Village is a recently built major residential and shopping centre. The facility includes the fine The Denna Club, the interiors of which have been designed by the CHIL Interior Design studio and develop all around the swimming pool in the middle. The swimming pool is immediately striking thanks to both its wood-panelled ceiling as well as the huge walls covered with marble-effect ceramic slabs. Two natural materials that blend in seamlessly with the woody mountain backdrop of Vancouver, a scene that can be enjoyed in all its glory through the large double-height windows which also filter the natural light flooding in to light the setting. The swimming pool affords the ultimate relaxation: on the one hand, a view opens onto the surrounding green forests; as you raise your eyes upwards, the wooden panels cut into geometric shapes entertain the view, forming a game of combinations that reflects the myriad facets of a gem, and on the other walls, the welcoming feel of a candid ceramic cladding of slabs from the I Naturali | Bianco Statuario Venato series in the 1000x3000mm size and in the 5.6 mm thickness, applied in their most surprising combination, in other words Book Match, to recreate the effect of a continuous vein pattern, just like in a natural quarry. Laminam ceramic slab properties: • Resistant to scratches and deep abrasion • Resistant to mildew and fungi • Resistant to stains • Resistant to chemicals • Resistant to UV rays • Intrinsic hygienic quality • Low maintenance and easy cleaning
