Our client chose a wool velvet by Ulster Carpets throughout six bedrooms, dressing rooms, landings and service staircases. The client opted for a bespoke taped stair runner carpet in Sisal by Crucial Trading from their Oriental collection to compliment the dark oak wood flooring, and age of the property. The carpet was cut to size on our first visit, taken to our workshop, and installed on our last day. The curved landing is a beautiful feature in this period property with the taped stair runner shadowing the curve perfectly.

Das bestehende Haus ist traditioneller Bauart und erweckt mit seinem ausladenden Dach und der horizontalen Fassadengliederung einen noblen Eindruck. Auf der Strassenseite befinden sich entlang des Treppenhauses vertikale Schlitzfenster. Der Anbau sollte das bestehende Haus nicht konkurrenzieren, nicht abwerten oder verändern, sondern durch seine Andersartigkeit einen zusätzlichen Schmuck für das Haupthaus darstellen. Einerseits wollte man von der freien Aussicht profitieren, andererseits will man sich gegen Einsicht schützen. Dem mineralisch verputzten Gebäude wurde ein vertikal gegliedertes Volumen entgegen gesetzt. Die vertikale Lamellenstruktur der Fassade schafft eine gewisse Tiefe innerhalb der Fassade und ein optisch sehr abwechslungsreiches Licht- und Schattenspiel. Diese Leichtigkeit kokettiert mit dem kompakten Haupthaus. Da die Aluminiumlamellen einfach über die Fenster weitergeführt wurden, entstand der gewünschte Sichtschutz und die nötige Verschattung. Die vertikalen Schlitzfenster des Treppenhauses vom Haupthaus harmonieren mit der neuen Fassade.

This Foyer has curved wainscot paneling going up the steps, with tall and wide flat pilasters flanking a paneled arch. The arch has two different radii, making the jamb splayed. Very difficult to make! There are also many architectural elements above the pilasters, like triglyphs, mutae and gutae. Photos Rick Albert

Builder: J. Peterson Homes Interior Designer: Francesca Owens Photographers: Ashley Avila Photography, Bill Hebert, & FulView Capped by a picturesque double chimney and distinguished by its distinctive roof lines and patterned brick, stone and siding, Rookwood draws inspiration from Tudor and Shingle styles, two of the world’s most enduring architectural forms. Popular from about 1890 through 1940, Tudor is characterized by steeply pitched roofs, massive chimneys, tall narrow casement windows and decorative half-timbering. Shingle’s hallmarks include shingled walls, an asymmetrical façade, intersecting cross gables and extensive porches. A masterpiece of wood and stone, there is nothing ordinary about Rookwood, which combines the best of both worlds. Once inside the foyer, the 3,500-square foot main level opens with a 27-foot central living room with natural fireplace. Nearby is a large kitchen featuring an extended island, hearth room and butler’s pantry with an adjacent formal dining space near the front of the house. Also featured is a sun room and spacious study, both perfect for relaxing, as well as two nearby garages that add up to almost 1,500 square foot of space. A large master suite with bath and walk-in closet which dominates the 2,700-square foot second level which also includes three additional family bedrooms, a convenient laundry and a flexible 580-square-foot bonus space. Downstairs, the lower level boasts approximately 1,000 more square feet of finished space, including a recreation room, guest suite and additional storage.

The modern sleek staircase in this home serves as the common thread that connects the three separate floors. The architecturally significant staircase features "floating treads" and sleek glass and metal railing. Our team thoughtfully selected the staircase details and materials to seamlessly marry the modern exterior of the home with the interior. A striking multi-pendant chandelier is the eye-catching focal point of the stairwell on the main and upper levels of the home. The positions of each hand-blown glass pendant were carefully placed to cascade down the stairwell in a dramatic fashion. The elevator next to the staircase provides ease in carrying groceries or laundry, as an alternative to using the stairs.

Coastal Shingle Style on St. Andrew Bay Private Residence / Panama City Beach, Florida Architect: Eric Watson Builder: McIntosh-Myers Construction For this lovely Coastal Shingle–style home, E. F. San Juan supplied Loewen impact-rated windows and doors, E. F. San Juan Invincia® impact-rated custom mahogany entry doors, exterior board-and-batten siding, exterior shingles, and exterior trim and millwork. We also supplied all the interior doors, stair parts, paneling, mouldings, and millwork. Challenges: At over 10,000 square feet, the sheer size of this home—coupled with the extensive amount of materials we produced and provided—made for a great scheduling challenge. Another significant challenge for the E. F. San Juan team was the homeowner’s desire for an electronic locking system on numerous Invincia® doors we custom manufactured for the home. This was a first-time request for us, but a challenge we gladly accepted! Solution: We worked closely with the builder, Cliff Myers of McIntosh-Myers Construction, as well as the architect, Eric Watson, to ensure the timeliness of decisions as they related to the home’s critical production timeline. We also worked closely with our design engineer and the home’s engineer of record, Allen Barnes of Apex Engineering Group, to provide a solution that allowed for an electronic lock on our custom Invincia® mahogany doors. The completed home is a stunning example of coastal architecture that is as safe and secure as it is beautiful. --- Photography by Jack Gardner

Eingangsbereiche verdienen eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit, denn sie sind die Visitenkarte eines Hauses. Wir Menschen fühlen instinktiv, ob wir bleiben oder wieder gehen wollen. Die alte Treppenanlage ist komplett überarbeitet worden mit Betonstufen, Geländer und Beleuchtung. Fast raumhohe Zimmertüren ohne sichtbar vorstehende Zarge wirken so zurückhaltend, als wären sie Teil der Wand. Der großformatige Fliesenboden mit seinen zahlreichen Schattierungen verläuft durch die ganze Ebene.

La trasparenza del vetro unita alla solidità del ferro per una creazione unica che ben si sposa con la scala in muratura esistente e con l'arredamento classico della casa.
