VisionScapesSurrounded by 30 year old trees, the homeowners were looking for an organic, modern, low maintenance finish to their outdoor environment. Utilizing the pre-existing mature apple tree in the backyard VisionScapes developed a tranquil retreat that extended the sq.ft of the home through a series of terraced concrete and wood decks. Pathways and patio systems were locally sourced from a quarry on the edge of the Rocky Mountains.

KUBE architectureComplete interior renovation of a 1980s split level house in the Virginia suburbs. Main level includes reading room, dining, kitchen, living and master bedroom suite. New front elevation at entry, new rear deck and complete re-cladding of the house. Interior: The prototypical layout of the split level home tends to separate the entrance, and any other associated space, from the rest of the living spaces one half level up. In this home the lower level "living" room off the entry was physically isolated from the dining, kitchen and family rooms above, and was only connected visually by a railing at dining room level. The owner desired a stronger integration of the lower and upper levels, in addition to an open flow between the major spaces on the upper level where they spend most of their time. ExteriorThe exterior entry of the house was a fragmented composition of disparate elements. The rear of the home was blocked off from views due to small windows, and had a difficult to use multi leveled deck. The owners requested an updated treatment of the entry, a more uniform exterior cladding, and an integration between the interior and exterior spaces. SOLUTIONS The overriding strategy was to create a spatial sequence allowing a seamless flow from the front of the house through the living spaces and to the exterior, in addition to unifying the upper and lower spaces. This was accomplished by creating a "reading room" at the entry level that responds to the front garden with a series of interior contours that are both steps as well as seating zones, while the orthogonal layout of the main level and deck reflects the pragmatic daily activities of cooking, eating and relaxing. The stairs between levels were moved so that the visitor could enter the new reading room, experiencing it as a place, before moving up to the main level. The upper level dining room floor was "pushed" out into the reading room space, thus creating a balcony over and into the space below. At the entry, the second floor landing was opened up to create a double height space, with enlarged windows. The rear wall of the house was opened up with continuous glass windows and doors to maximize the views and light. A new simplified single level deck replaced the old one.

Alexandra Gorla Architecture d'IntérieurMaison 170 M2
Rénovation complète d'une maison à colombages dans les Landes, construite il y a une quarantaine d'années, et qui était en très mauvais état y compris l'extérieur.
Les clients ont tout de suite vu le potentiel de cette demeure de 170 M2 sur 2 étages.
Son espace atypique a été entièrement repensé et modernisé car elle était très cloisonnée. En effet, la maison possédait de minuscules pièces, 2 couloirs, beaucoup de lambris au bois sombre... Nous avons voulu conserver son charme tout en la rendant confortable, spacieuse et fonctionnelle. Cette maison est devenue un lieu chaleureux et apaisant au style épuré avec des matériaux naturels.
La maison dispose d'une grande pièce à vivre avec insert autour duquel s'articule un salon TV et un coin lecture, une salle à manger et une grande cuisine ouverte avec îlot. La salle de bain au carrelage des années 70 s'est transformée en SPA grâce à la pose d'une douche à l'italienne et d'une baignoire îlot, le tout recouvert d'un magnifique béton ciré. Et nous avons créé une 2ème salle d'eau à l'étage. La maison a dorénavant 5 chambres dont 1 dortoir. Nous avons fait poser des verrières pour laisser passer la lumière naturelle et un escalier a été conçu sur mesure pour accéder aux chambres du haut.
Les extérieurs ont été également repensés notamment en créant une terrasse mêlant bois et béton ciré, ainsi qu'une piscine.
Nos clients sont ravis et nous aussi!
Mihaly SlocombeCoburg Frieze is a purified design that questions what’s really needed.
The interwar property was transformed into a long-term family home that celebrates lifestyle and connection to the owners’ much-loved garden. Prioritising quality over quantity, the crafted extension adds just 25sqm of meticulously considered space to our clients’ home, honouring Dieter Rams’ enduring philosophy of “less, but better”.
We reprogrammed the original floorplan to marry each room with its best functional match – allowing an enhanced flow of the home, while liberating budget for the extension’s shared spaces. Though modestly proportioned, the new communal areas are smoothly functional, rich in materiality, and tailored to our clients’ passions. Shielding the house’s rear from harsh western sun, a covered deck creates a protected threshold space to encourage outdoor play and interaction with the garden.
This charming home is big on the little things; creating considered spaces that have a positive effect on daily life.
ShadeFXInternational Landscaping partnered with ShadeFX to provide shade to another beautiful outdoor kitchen in Toronto. A 12’x8’ freestanding canopy in a neutral Sunbrella Cadet Grey fabric was manufactured for the space.
Archadeck of the FoothillsSecond story upgraded Timbertech Pro Reserve composite deck in Antique Leather color with picture frame boarder in Dark Roast. Timbertech Evolutions railing in black was used with upgraded 7.5" cocktail rail in Azek English Walnut. Also featured is the "pub table" below the deck to set drinks on while playing yard games or gathering around and admiring the views. This couple wanted a deck where they could entertain, dine, relax, and enjoy the beautiful Colorado weather, and that is what Archadeck of Denver designed and built for them!
