This lakefront diamond in the rough lot was waiting to be discovered by someone with a modern naturalistic vision and passion. Maintaining an eco-friendly, and sustainable build was at the top of the client priority list. Designed and situated to benefit from passive and active solar as well as through breezes from the lake, this indoor/outdoor living space truly establishes a symbiotic relationship with its natural surroundings. The pie-shaped lot provided significant challenges with a street width of 50ft, a steep shoreline buffer of 50ft, as well as a powerline easement reducing the buildable area. The client desired a smaller home of approximately 2500sf that juxtaposed modern lines with the free form of the natural setting. The 250ft of lakefront afforded 180-degree views which guided the design to maximize this vantage point while supporting the adjacent environment through preservation of heritage trees. Prior to construction the shoreline buffer had been rewilded with wildflowers, perennials, utilization of clover and meadow grasses to support healthy animal and insect re-population. The inclusion of solar panels as well as hydroponic heated floors and wood stove supported the owner’s desire to be self-sufficient. Core ten steel was selected as the predominant material to allow it to “rust” as it weathers thus blending into the natural environment.

This deck had many design details with this resurface. The homeowner's of this deck wanted to change out their wood decking to a maintenance free products. We installed New Timbertech PVC Capped Composite Decking (Terrain Series - Silver Maple) with a picture frame in the center for a custom design feel. The deck is the perfect height for the hot tub. We then installed new roofing on the existing gazebo along with new roofing and an Aluminum Soffit Ceiling which matched the Westbury Railing (Tuscany Series - Bronze in color). My favorite parts is the inside corner stairs and of course the custom privacy wall we designed out of Westbury Railing Posts and Timbertech Fascia & Risers. This complete deck project turned out great and the homeowners could not be any happier.

The team was challenged by the Arlo Hotel Wynwood to maximize the luxurious feel of its resort cabanas. To achieve this, each pool cabana was designed with a custom Azenco R-Shade fixed roof pergola. Azenco designers engineered a new style of privacy wall that opens and closes manually with added flexibility to the fixed-roof design. This innovation facilitates the tropical breeze when open and provides privacy when closed. These cabanas are perfect for architects and contractors seeking a professional yet luxurious atmosphere.

Updating of this Venice Beach bungalow home was a real treat. Timing was everything here since it was supposed to go on the market in 30day. (It took us 35days in total for a complete remodel). The corner lot has a great front "beach bum" deck that was completely refinished and fenced for semi-private feel. The entire house received a good refreshing paint including a new accent wall in the living room. The kitchen was completely redo in a Modern vibe meets classical farmhouse with the labyrinth backsplash and reclaimed wood floating shelves. Notice also the rugged concrete look quartz countertop. A small new powder room was created from an old closet space, funky street art walls tiles and the gold fixtures with a blue vanity once again are a perfect example of modern meets farmhouse.

This Downtown Jackson home is full of contemporary steel. The handrail and stairs are simple yet functional and were installed in sections and mounted to the floor and walls. Steel columns were positioned on the decks outside so the wood screen would act as a privacy barrier for the close downtown residences. A horizontal rail was installed to match the privacy screen that was installed. Each horizontal bar was shop welded in place and installed in one section. The emergency ladder was manufactured out of steel and installed under an external floor grate. Hinges were welded into place creating a trap door egress to allow an easy exit access if required. All in all, this Downtown abode encompasses steel and wood in a contemporary modern variation.

The owner of the charming family home wanted to cover the old pool deck converted into an outdoor patio to add a dried and shaded area outside the home. This newly covered deck should be resistant, functional, and large enough to accommodate friends or family gatherings without a pole blocking the splendid river view.
