Modern Home Boasts Cantilevered Roof

Modern Home Boasts Cantilevered Roof This timelessly contemporary home features a cantilevered roof along with a cantilevered wooden box off the front facade, which is in fact the master bathroom.



Modern Home Exterior With Midcentury Flair Early in the process, the homeowners were undecided as to whether they wanted a modern or midcentury-style residence. This design borrows elements from both colleges. Stacked rock, timber and stucco were united to create a feeling of timelessness in what could otherwise be an extremely modern type.



Galley Kitchen Characteristics Large Sliding Glass Door An accordion-style sliding door creates this galley kitchen -- what would typically be a narrow kitchen look spacious. The walnut used in the cabinets, floors and island is "woods free" and harvested mostly from fallen trees.



Natural Materials Abound in Sleek Galley Kitchen This long, galley-style kitchen is provided additional space with an 18-foot-long accordion-style folding glass door. This photograph was actually taken outside in the side lawn as a result of this open door. The port hood could not be accommodated in the rock wall, so a island vent hood was used despite the range being around the wall.



Walnut Table Continues Natural Issue in Dining Room The stunning dining table was made by butterflying a single slab of walnut to three pieces and joining them together. All the surfaces throughout the home are as matte as you can to provide the house a classic, midcentury aesthetic.



Stacked Stone Dominates Nature-Inspired Dining Room The stone wrap these walls is 6 inches deep, which contributes to exterior and interior walls 14-18 inches thick in some places. That much stone is cool -- but hefty. The stone used on this home weighed approximately 180 tons. Portions of the home are framed with dimensional steel to keep it from falling into the cellar.



Stacked Stone Walls Produce Interest in Modern Living Room This project sought to blur the lines between inside and out. All stone exterior walls include rock on the inside. A limited color palette retains the stone-clad house from appearing busy or disorderly.



Contemporary Basement Game Room With Classic Pool Table Throughout building, the design team decided to leave a portion of the raw concrete foundation wall exposed in the game space. The homeowner was attached to his pool table, despite it not really going with the modern aesthetic, therefore it had been re-felted in black to blend much better.



Modern Stairway Boasts Stacked Stone Wall & Wood Ceiling Lighting a stairwell is tough even if your walls aren't coated in stone. Pendants, a uniform elevation above every measure, do just the trick in this this striking stairway, maintaining the space from feeling dim or dark.



Stacked Stone Flanks Open Stairs This is a view from inside the back door of the home. With this much rock, it's essential that the home not feel too dim, and you will see here that the open risers allow a clear view all the way from the back door to the front door. The ultra-thick treads enable the stairs to be open without violating American building codes.



Neutral-Hued Bedroom Is Calm, Comfortable This bedroom is only designed, making it feel comfy and romantic. The wood ceiling, wood-framed window and neutral colour palette combine the room with the remainder of the property's layout.



Modern Freestanding Tub Having a View The freestanding tub within this luxurious bathroom offers a second-floor view into the trees, and the window treatment closes from the bottom up to make privacy without obstructing the view. The warm wood flooring was treated a lot of times with penetrating oils and sealers therefore that it will maintain its shape and color in wet conditions.



Stacked Stone Creates Striking Stairwell The view out the windows lining this staircase is actually into another part of the home. The stair railings are fabricated out of steel tubes since this is the most rigid material accessible and therefore required fewer penetrations from the rock to mount.



12-Foot-Tall Cantilever Leads to Front Door This elegant entryway is framed by a cantilever that is 12 feet high. The cantilever separates the entryway from the courtyard, which can be equally well lit to flaunt each one's elegant layout.



View of Stone Gates from Courtyard The entrance of this house is reminiscent of a the gates enclosing an ancient dynasty. Strong and elegant, the gates of the home certainly set a tone of grandeur. Included in this beautiful view is a piece of custom designed cast glass. It is observable in the Zen Garden on the opposite side and excels in the sunshine, bettering the grand feeling of this home.



Gates of this Home Lead Into Stone Interior Entryway These thick, elegant gates direct further to the house's private space. Even though the gates don't lead straight into the house, the stone walls and floors and the wood ceiling keep the elegant look into the interior entry.



View of Interior Courtyard from Within the House From inside the house, guests and homeowners alike can enjoy a stunning view of the home's elaborate inner courtyard.



Interior Courtyard with Grill, Bar and Custom Built Fire Pit After guests pass through the outside gates, they enter a large courtyard. This courtyard contains a grill, bar and fire pit. This permanent, custom built fire pit has marble ledges that permit the fixture to double as a coffee table, which makes this space the perfect place to entertain-no thing the season.



Guests First Glance of the Home's Elaborate Interior Courtyard Upon entering the gates, guests receive a clear view of the courtyard. They can see the grill, pub and custom flame pit, as well as the build in chairs made from pre-cast concrete.



Southwestern Home With Desert Landscape Stacked stones in soft shades of sand and brown are utilised to make beautiful textured walls with this southwestern house. The angled wall gives a protected, private entrance to the home and big courtyard. When the sun sets behind the cutouts from the wall, then it creates a spectacular vision.



Back Entryway Leads Into Zen Garden Through Gate at Cedar Wall The slotted stone wall outlines the walkway to the back of the house. From this side, the homeowners can pass through the gate in the cedar wall and input the Zen Garden, just off the master bedroom.



Asian Launched Gates Lead Into Home The metallic gates which lead to the interior entryway of the home are motivated by the Asian dynasties of the old.



Contemporary Terrace to a Southwestern Home This southwestern-inspired house features magnificent architectural details, such as piled stone exterior walls. A flagstone terrace with a curved perimeter catches the 180-degree perspective of foothills and mountains beyond.



Contemporary Home Exterior With Beautiful Landscaping Creating a "saw-tooth" kind floor plan gives each of the chambers views of the landscape. Seamless transition between the timber and massive windows create a contemporary design, while a stacked stone accent wall brings a bit of rustic to the home.

Galley Kitchen

Galley Kitchen After four small rooms using a stairs jutting through the center, this renovated kitchen/living area is now spacious and airy. By laying out the kitchen homework and dining areas as a long efficient galley, designers Kathy Hoffman and Susan Fredman of the Susan Fredman Design Group created the space practical without crowding the living room.



Galley Kitchen "Creating visual effect and maintaining functionality in this narrow area was my main challenge with this particular project," says Vita Buffa, CKD, CBD, NCIDQ. To satisfy the challenge and give her client a stunning, green galley, Buffa moved an antique table which was beautiful but impeded traffic flow, and relocated the fridge and microwave to the opposite wall in order to make a more visually pleasing view when sitting at the adjacent room.



Galley Kitchen This 8-foot-wide kitchen with Aimee Nemeckay and Terri Crittenden for your Susan Fredman Design Group hangs a turn to the adjacent dining room. To make it look larger, the designers continue the horizontal lines the extended kitchen both in the kerf, or incised line, of their cabinets and the floor. The cupboards reaching the ceiling draw the eye up as well.



Galley Kitchen By removing the two half partitions between the dining room and living space of the 1960s bungalow, designer Nathalie Tremblay managed to expand the kitchen, make an open texture and provide a better layout and traffic flow of the kitchen, living and dining room. And many of the tips she employed to maximize distance in this galley would function nicely for any small kitchen: She utilized 24-inch-deep refrigerator/freezer for space saving and much better traffic flow, created a work "triangle" regardless of the corridor-like shape of the actual space, and chose a simple, black-and-white palette to keep visual clutter to a minimum.



Galley Kitchen To keep this small galley kitchen appearing as great as it functions, Natalia Pierce, AKBD, chose a neutral, earthy palette and installed a comfortable window seat. The flow of light from the adjacent dining area during the pass-through retains the kitchen linked to the remainder of the home and sets hosts connected with guests. Art in the far end wall keeps the kitchen out of appearing as a dead-end.



U-Shaped Kitchen Pre-renovation this kitchen was little and cut off from the rest of the home. Designer Linda Evans, CKD, CBD, CAPS, knocked down the wall between the kitchen and dining room, and flipped into the former into a horseshoe which not only maximizes space but creates a delineation between the kitchen and dining spots.



U-Shaped Kitchen To include additional prep and storage space to this tiny kitchen, Natalia Pierce, AKBD, additional two peninsulas, creating a U-shaped kitchen. A raised bar was added on the sink to divide the site lines throughout the space.



U-Shaped Kitchen As a secondary kitchen on the top floor of a gorgeous art deco home, this distance does not need to be big but it did need to work effectively. Designer Myriem Drainer took the best components of U- shaped and L-shaped kitchens to create this one-of-a kind design. Clean lines and a marble backsplash which extends into the ceiling create an illusion of a wider and brighter space, and small because it is, the counter arrangement supplies amazingly ample dining and prep room.



L-Shaped Kitchen Designer Nathalie Tremblay opened up and proceeded walls to make this L-shaped kitchen/dining area for clients who like to entertain. An L contour keeps the hosts close to their guests while cooking, and enables guests to eat without feeling like they're on top of the stove.



L-Shaped Kitchen This kitchen's long, effective prep area looks like a galley design but is only half of this L-shaped kitchen that turns out a corner for maximum preparation room and eat-in dining. Design by Amy Alper.



L-Shaped Kitchen This kitchen, which won First Place in big kitchen category at NKBA Ontario Design Awards in 2013, utilizes an L-shaped floor plan along with T-configured center island to maximize space, and to create the sleek, masculine look designer Nathalie Tremblay's client asked.



Pentagonal Kitchen It's no secret that squeezing maximum efficiency from a five-sided kitchen with strange angles took a great deal of imagination. Eric Lindroth of Remodel Works Bath and Kitchen transferred walls to expand the ground's footprint beneath the vaulted ceiling, eliminated soffits and construction supports in the loft for the existing rafters, and extended the existing walls to the ceiling.



Curvilinear Kitchen When her customer -- an engineer and metal sculptor -- informed Rhonda Knoche, CMKBD, he loathed symmetry and direct lines, which he wanted a kitchen that could make him grin, she listened. The main prep area expands to adapt kitchen action -- and, occasionally, dancing. The long wall is a bit bowed to satisfy the deeper front of this range, tapering back at either end to the standard 24" deep cabinets. And the kitchen island is an ice-cream-cone shape. "The partition looking toward the entry could have been a direct wall," says Knoche, "but when I threw this client a curve, he had been in the plate."



Wedge-Shaped Kitchen To make the most of the wedge-shaped kitchen, Eric Lindroth of Remodel Works Kitchen and Bath replaced the existing rectangular island with a wedge-shaped one. By echoing the room's perimeter shape, you may keep walking aisles constant, so the room feels balanced and nothing seems forced or mismatched. With its wider end, the island matches all of the homeowner's baking requirements, also offers close proximity to the cooker.



Wedge-Shaped Kitchen That's no optical illusion: This kitchen by Ines Hanl of The Sky's The Limit Style is shaped like a leash. As opposed to fight the strange form, Hanl she played it, and made an intensely angled island and banquette, then decorated the space with a funky '50s vibe. Lesson learned: In an area that flows strangely, it is sometimes best to just go with the flow.
