John Webb Construction and DesignHere is an architecturally built mid-century modern home that was opened up between the kitchen and dining room, enlarged windows viewing out to a public park, porcelain tile floor, IKEA cabinets, IKEA appliances, quartz countertop, and subway tile backsplash.

Robert Miller FAIA ArchitectsThe Council Crest Residence is a renovation and addition to an early 1950s house built for inventor Karl Kurz, whose work included stereoscopic cameras and projectors. Designed by prominent local architect Roscoe Hemenway, the house was built with a traditional ranch exterior and a mid-century modern interior. It became known as “The View-Master House,” alluding to both the inventions of its owner and the dramatic view through the glass entry.
Approached from a small neighborhood park, the home was re-clad maintaining its welcoming scale, with privacy obtained through thoughtful placement of translucent glass, clerestory windows, and a stone screen wall. The original entry was maintained as a glass aperture, a threshold between the quiet residential neighborhood and the dramatic view over the city of Portland and landscape beyond. At the south terrace, an outdoor fireplace is integrated into the stone wall providing a comfortable space for the family and their guests.
Within the existing footprint, the main floor living spaces were completely remodeled. Raised ceilings and new windows create open, light filled spaces. An upper floor was added within the original profile creating a master suite, study, and south facing deck. Space flows freely around a central core while continuous clerestory windows reinforce the sense of openness and expansion as the roof and wall planes extend to the exterior.

AHG InteriorsThinking outside the box
Perched on a hilltop in the Catskills, this sleek 1960s A-frame is right at home among pointed firs and
mountain peaks.
An unfussy, but elegant design with modern shapes, furnishings, and material finishes both softens and enhances the home’s architecture and natural surroundings, bringing light and airiness to every room.
A clever peekaboo aesthetic enlivens many of the home’s new design elements―invisible touches of lucite, accented brass surfaces, oversized mirrors, and windows and glass partitions in the spa bathrooms, which give you all the comfort of a high-end hotel, and the feeling that you’re showering in nature.
Downstairs ample seating and a wet bar―a nod to your parents’ 70s basement―make a perfect space for entertaining. Step outside onto the spacious deck, fire up the grill, and enjoy the gorgeous mountain views.
Stonework, scattered like breadcrumbs around the 5-acre property, leads you to several lounging nooks, where you can stretch out with a book or take a soak in the hot tub.
Every thoughtful detail adds softness and magic to this forest home.
Made To Last Custom Homes Ltd.Our client fell in love with the original 80s style of this house. However, no part of it had been updated since it was built in 1981. Both the style and structure of the home needed to be drastically updated to turn this house into our client’s dream modern home. We are also excited to announce that this renovation has transformed this 80s house into a multiple award-winning home, including a major award for Renovator of the Year from the Vancouver Island Building Excellence Awards. The original layout for this home was certainly unique. In addition, there was wall-to-wall carpeting (even in the bathroom!) and a poorly maintained exterior.
There were several goals for the Modern Revival home. A new covered parking area, a more appropriate front entry, and a revised layout were all necessary. Therefore, it needed to have square footage added on as well as a complete interior renovation. One of the client’s key goals was to revive the modern 80s style that she grew up loving. Alfresco Living Design and A. Willie Design worked with Made to Last to help the client find creative solutions to their goals.
Acorn Deck House CompanyPartridge Pond is Acorn Deck House Company’s newest model home. This house is a contemporary take on the classic Deck House. Its open floor plan welcomes guests into the home, while still maintaining a sense of privacy in the master wing and upstairs bedrooms. It features an exposed post and beam structure throughout as well as the signature Deck House ceiling decking in the great room and master suite. The goal for the home was to showcase a mid-century modern and contemporary hybrid that inspires Deck House lovers, old and new.

MarvinThis gracious home sits at the end of a cul-de-sac and beautifully blends in with other colonial architectural style homes in this small sub-division in Marlborough, CT. Chris Scutnik of Creative Design Builders, wanted to go with windows and doors made from durable fiberglass. His key challenge was determining the exact sizes and shapes of the multiple window openings. The ability to place the window order after the house was framed, along with quick delivery, also dictated the choice of windows and doors.
Carlos Delgado ArchitectThe tiered entry flows up gracefully to the front door, while the cantilevered balconies and long deep eaves create sanctuary. Each of these tiers is landscaped elegantly with mature plants that were meticulously placed, creating privacy from the streetscape.
