My client for this project was a builder/ developer. He had purchased a flat two acre parcel with vineyards that was within easy walking distance of downtown St. Helena. He planned to “build for sale” a three bedroom home with a separate one bedroom guest house, a pool and a pool house. He wanted a modern type farmhouse design that opened up to the site and to the views of the hills beyond and to keep as much of the vineyards as possible. The house was designed with a central Great Room consisting of a kitchen area, a dining area, and a living area all under one roof with a central linear cupola to bring natural light into the middle of the room. One approaches the entrance to the home through a small garden with water features on both sides of a path that leads to a covered entry porch and the front door. The entry hall runs the length of the Great Room and serves as both a link to the bedroom wings, the garage, the laundry room and a small study. The entry hall also serves as an art gallery for the future owner. An interstitial space between the entry hall and the Great Room contains a pantry, a wine room, an entry closet, an electrical room and a powder room. A large deep porch on the pool/garden side of the house extends most of the length of the Great Room with a small breakfast Room at one end that opens both to the kitchen and to this porch. The Great Room and porch open up to a swimming pool that is on on axis with the front door.
The main house has two wings. One wing contains the master bedroom suite with a walk in closet and a bathroom with soaking tub in a bay window and separate toilet room and shower. The other wing at the opposite end of the househas two children’s bedrooms each with their own bathroom a small play room serving both bedrooms. A rear hallway serves the children’s wing, a Laundry Room and a Study, the garage and a stair to an Au Pair unit above the garage.
A separate small one bedroom guest house has a small living room, a kitchen, a toilet room to serve the pool and a small covered porch. The bedroom is ensuite with a full bath. This guest house faces the side of the pool and serves to provide privacy and block views ofthe neighbors to the east. A Pool house at the far end of the pool on the main axis of the house has a covered sitting area with a pizza oven, a bar area and a small bathroom. Vineyards were saved on all sides of the house to help provide a private enclave within the vines.
The exterior of the house has simple gable roofs over the major rooms of the house with sloping ceilings and large wooden trusses in the Great Room and plaster sloping ceilings in the bedrooms. The exterior siding through out is painted board and batten siding similar to farmhouses of other older homes in the area.

Dozens of tall windows invite and catch the eye immediately, while awe-worthy vaulted ceilings and Kentwood Engineered hardwood floors inspire an ambiance of elegance. The spectacular 2-story Great Room is sure to impress guests: ample seating encourages evenings filled with entertainment, a deluxe fireplace brings warmth and comfort, and the ceiling gracefully extends all the way to the top of the second story.

The existing kitchen just didn’t work for the owners of this 19th century home in suburban Boston. Family and guests entered the house directly into the kitchen, which often resulted in a cluttered and messy room. The kitchen was also quite small, and although it was tucked between the dining room and den, there was no direct access to either area.
Seeking a more open and accommodating cooking and gathering space, the homeowners asked for help.
We began by introducing a new bump-out entry with bench seating, custom designed cubbies, and a coat closet. This new space is modestly sized but offers tremendous function, with storage for coats, shoes, and other outdoor items, and a clear division of space between the outdoors and the kitchen.
Next, we took down a wall that had divided the den from the kitchen and widened the passageway between the dining room and the den, making it easier for guests to gather around the kitchen’s more efficient workspace.
Materials used include oak for the mudroom bench and bar top, white oak floors in the kitchen, and refinished original antique wide pine flooring in the den. Black Cambrian, with an antiqued finish, is used for the kitchen countertop. In the den, sliding doors were added to the patio and garden beyond.

This new house is reminiscent of the farm type houses in the Napa Valley. Although the new house is a more sophisticated design, it still remains simple in plan and overall shape. At the front entrance an entry vestibule opens onto the Great Room with kitchen, dining and living areas. A media room, guest room and small bath are also on the ground floor. Pocketed lift and slide doors and windows provide large openings leading out to a trellis covered rear deck and steps down to a lawn and pool with views of the vineyards beyond.
The second floor includes a master bedroom and master bathroom with a covered porch, an exercise room, a laundry and two children’s bedrooms each with their own bathroom

An eclectic, modern media room with bold accents of black metals, natural woods, and terra cotta tile floors. We wanted to design a fresh and modern hangout spot for these clients, whether they’re hosting friends or watching the game, this entertainment room had to fit every occasion.
We designed a full home bar, which looks dashing right next to the wooden accent wall and foosball table. The sitting area is full of luxe seating, with a large gray sofa and warm brown leather arm chairs. Additional seating was snuck in via black metal chairs that fit seamlessly into the built-in desk and sideboard table (behind the sofa).... In total, there is plenty of seats for a large party, which is exactly what our client needed.
Lastly, we updated the french doors with a chic, modern black trim, a small detail that offered an instant pick-me-up. The black trim also looks effortless against the black accents.

We basically squeezed this into a closet, but wow does it deliver! The roll out shelf can expand for folding and ironing and push back in when it's not needed. The wood shelves offer great linen storage and the exposed brick is a great reminder of all the hard work that has been done in this home!

A PLACE TO GATHER
Location: Eagan, MN, USA
This family of five wanted an inviting space to gather with family and friends. Mom, the primary cook, wanted a large island with more organized storage – everything in its place – and a crisp white kitchen with the character of an older home.
Challenges:
Design an island that could accommodate this family of five for casual weeknight dinners.
Create more usable storage within the existing kitchen footprint.
Design a better transition between the upper cabinets on the 8-foot sink wall and the adjoining 9-foot cooktop wall.
Make room for more counter space around the cooktop. It was poorly lit, cluttered with small appliances and confined by the tall oven cabinet.
Solutions:
A large island, that seats 5 comfortably, replaced the small island and kitchen table. This allowed for more storage including cookbook shelves, a heavy-duty roll out shelf for the mixer, a 2-bin recycling center and a bread drawer.
Tall pantries with decorative grilles were placed between the kitchen and family room. These created ample storage and helped define each room, making each one feel larger, yet more intimate.
A space intentionally separates the upper cabinets on the sink wall from those on the cooktop wall. This created symmetry on the sink wall and made room for an appliance garage, which keeps the countertops uncluttered.
Moving the double ovens to the former pantry location made way for more usable counter space around the cooktop and a dramatic focal point with the hood, cabinets and marble backsplash.
Special Features:
Custom designed corbels and island legs lend character.
Gilt open lanterns, antiqued nickel grilles on the pantries, and the soft linen shade at the kitchen sink add personality and charm.
The unique bronze hardware with a living finish creates the patina of an older home.
A walnut island countertop adds the warmth and feel of a kitchen table.
This homeowner truly understood the idea of living with the patina of marble. Her grandmother’s marble-topped antique table inspired the Carrara countertops.
The result is a highly organized kitchen with a light, open feel that invites you to stay a while.

Description of the House, its local & occupants
A dilapidated two bedroom, timber clad, 1920’s heritage listed home in Sydney’s Crows Nest was in desperate need of saving. Its life for the past 10 years had been home to squatters and the homeless. Situated close to the city, cafes and schools the new owners believed it had great potential to be transformed/renovated into their magnificent family home.
As this home was to be their “forever” one; and with young girls leading into their pre teen years this space had to cater to the family’s busy lifestyle & had to do justice to the heritage of the old and the proposed modern architecture for the rear extension.
Therefore with walls crumbling and covered in graffiti this family of four took it on and looked forward to the houses transformation with bated breath. In return they saw an ugly ducking totally transform in to a swan.
The Brief
A luxurious beautiful bathroom that is connected with parents master space, room to function as a wet area, dressing & make up zone. A space for two to share.
CLIENT REQUIREMENTS:
• Door entry to slide/split open onto master bed space ‘quiet opening’
• In makeup zone, consider built-in table with oversized mirror & LED lighting for precise make up work
• Storage accommodated in recessed format mirror cabinet
• Concealed toilet
• Vanity to offer double basin, preference not to see plumbing below.
• Double shower with hand held spout
• Good light
CONSTRAINTS: -
• Slope of roof line slopes from east to west
• 2x manually operable skylights
• Existing north facing window
Design Statement - How the requirements of the client brief were achieved & problems solved
The challenges of this space where many, the space is narrow, the client wanted a lot into a spall space, the sloping ceiling also reduced the usable floor space to one long run of the room.
The designer chose to create a centre blade wall, this wall divides the room and fulfils many aspects of the clients brief; this centre wall creates two access points on each end of the wall, one access to the now concealed toilet area and the other walks into the double shower.
The ingenious solution of the design was to rotate the showerhead to the (longer) length of the wall rather than the short (narrow) side of the shower wall, as this is what makes this space feel larger than it actually is. When we address a shower we stand front or back on, so it makes a lot of sense to have the water sources on the longest wall – hence making the shower feel bigger.
With the bathing and toilet taken care of it came down to the vanity wall, the designer chose to create three balanced spaces, two thirds to be given to the custom made solid surface washbasin and one third to the dressing or make up area.
The lighting as usual plays a big role, especially when make up is involved. The designer created a concealed LED light source with reflectors so when sitting at the make up area the face is perfectly illuminated from both sides and by selected LED lights with CRI (Colour Render Index) output of 90 it meant colour is reproduced almost perfectly.
As it is a small room, one 14.4 watt high out put LED light on top of the centre wall offers all the room light this small space requires, low energy efficient LED downlights over the basin provide a little extra facial illumination for shaving and so on. A sensor light under the vanity & under the recess wall cabinets provides a low out put of light for the midnight dash.
For a small space there is a lot of storage, the two doors above the basins are recessed to house all of the day-to-day personal effects. The designer created doors that lifted up rather than open out, this means the doors are up and out of the way when access is needed and it also eliminated have that dreaded vertical split in the door directly over the basin. – this longer door also helps in making the room feel longer (visually)
The materials are always the last element selected; connection to the other spaces the designer created for this client was important. Large format tiles 3000mm x 1000mm are applied to all walls and the floor of the shower and toilet. The engineered timber floor from the bedroom runs thru and under the vanity connecting the bedroom to the space thru the floor and a large oversized sliding door.
This space has created a private retreat for the owners of this stunning property, a space where they can both function, rejuvenate or get ready for the busy day ahead.

TOC design & construction inc.
In 2008 an extension was added to this small country home thus allowing the clients to redesign the main floor with a larger master suite, housing a separate vanity, and a bathroom filled with technology, elegance and luxury.
Although the existing space was acceptable, it did not reflect the charismatic character of the clients, and lacked breathing space.
By borrowing the ineffective space from their existing “entrance court” and removing all closets thus permitting for a private space to accommodate a large vanity with Jack and Jill sinks, a separate bathroom area housing a deep sculptural tub with air massage and hydrotherapy combination, set in a perfect symmetrical fashion to allow the beautiful views of the outdoor landscape, a thin 30” LCD TV, and incorporating a large niche wall for artful accessories and spa products, as well as a private entrance to the large well organized dressing room with a make-up counter. A peaceful, elegant yet highly functional on-suite was created by this young couple’s dream of having a contemporary hotel chic palette inspired by their travels in Paris. Using the classic black and white color combination, a touch of glam, the warm natural color of cherry wood and the technology and innovation brought this retreat to a new level of relaxation.

Small Sewing Room - Photos & Ideas | Houzz
Alair Homes Plano
Our clients purchased this 1950 ranch style cottage knowing it needed to be updated. They fell in love with the location, being within walking distance to White Rock Lake. They wanted to redesign the layout of the house to improve the flow and function of the spaces while maintaining a cozy feel. They wanted to explore the idea of opening up the kitchen and possibly even relocating it. A laundry room and mudroom space needed to be added to that space, as well. Both bathrooms needed a complete update and they wanted to enlarge the master bath if possible, to have a double vanity and more efficient storage. With two small boys and one on the way, they ideally wanted to add a 3rd bedroom to the house within the existing footprint but were open to possibly designing an addition, if that wasn’t possible.
In the end, we gave them everything they wanted, without having to put an addition on to the home. They absolutely love the openness of their new kitchen and living spaces and we even added a small bar! They have their much-needed laundry room and mudroom off the back patio, so their “drop zone” is out of the way. We were able to add storage and double vanity to the master bathroom by enclosing what used to be a coat closet near the entryway and using that sq. ft. in the bathroom. The functionality of this house has completely changed and has definitely changed the lives of our clients for the better!
