THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE AIBD - 03

Hello! And welcome to the Summer 2022 issue of the AIBD magazine!

2022 has been a continued year of growth through the entire building industry. We anxiously anticipated what the year would hold for building professionals as material and labor prices rose, yet again. But gratefully, we have witnessed a thriving market – starting with design, traveling through the trades, and even flowing into real estate. Thanks to the boom, we were blessed with a plethora of gorgeous applicants from within the design world. And WOW, what a spectacular collection

As always, I am sure our readers will find the winning projects featured in this issue inspirational.

To be asked to write my “Immediate Past President’s Message” comes with quite a bit of emotion for me. The time of being AIBD’s President has come and gone way too fast. I am so privileged to have been able to serve. I am so very thankful for all of the support, friendships, and learning this has been for me. This is has been a joyous experience that I will cherish forever. I love AIBD. I love the people. I look forward to new adventures within AIBD and continuing my journey.

Communication and transparency was a goal of mine as the incoming President. Our Executive director, Steven Mickley and our outstanding AIBD staff helped make AIBD more accessible to membership. Our Monday Minute weekly email has become the hub of our communication and has attracted over 10,000 contacts. On a personal level, AIBD helped me create a virtual monthly roundtable discussion called AIBD’s Coffee with Bernie. Over the past two years we had many exciting conversation topics that included an introduction to past Presidents, introduction to our AIBD staff, ARDA, a discussion on the success stories of AIBD’s women residential building

When I was elected in 2020 our world was deeply entrenched in a global pandemic. Confusion and fear were on the minds of all of us. AIBD Executive Director Steven Mickley became my best friend. We had to find ways to keep AIBD strong and moving forward. I believe we did that and not only maintaining the strength of the Institute but becoming one of the leaders in the industry as we adapted quickly to changes and the way design businesses would operate. AIBD never stopped or

went on hold. Our Conference Committee quickly moved from an in person conference to virtual and then to a hybrid conference, both in person and virtual. We never missed a conference during the pandemic. We moved and adjusted with the AIBD staff ready and able to help.

The success of AIBD is continually proven through the dedication of our talented staff and board of directors. As we transition to the 2022-2023 leadership team, I want to personally thank all the members of the 2021-2022 board of directors and staff. So much has been accomplished and I hope that we can continue to carry the torch forward effectively to build upon the successes thus far. I also want to take a moment to recognize our former president Bernie Kern. Bernie took the helm of this organization during the height of the pandemic.

My hope over the course of my term is to connect effectively with our membership to understand how our leadership group can provide meaningful support and value to our members. We are a diverse group. When I joined the organization, I was beginning a new adventure within my design career. I am encouraged whenever I see others within our organization at a similar point in their professional development as AIBD provides so much support to new members. At the same time, we have an enormous amount of wisdom and experience provided by our seasoned veteran members who have always been willing to pour out their knowledge to those looking to learn and grow.

President’s Message

It is hard to believe how fast things change in our lives. It seems only yesterday I was teaching my first AIBD education course in Denver for the 2016 summer conference. AIBD has continually supported my career development and professional development over the past 6 years. The organization supported the growth of my business, as well as facilitated the connection to my current global role within MiTek. Most importantly, AIBD has allowed me to meet the most amazing people and cultivate lifelong friendships. To me that is the most beautiful aspect of our organization. We are a family supporting one another as we pursue excellence in our careers.

Below: A good rule for placing exterior materials on a home is considering how those materials mirror the structure

By Fernando Pagés Ruiz

How to Mix Traditional Cladding Materials the Right Way

Modern cladding does not play a structural role beyond protecting the building from wind and rain. Traditional exteriors functioned differently. The visible elements revealed the building’s construction. The stone at the base of the wall was the foundation, not a decorative wainscot. A brick arch over a window held the weight of the building above. And the exposed timber in a stucco wall was the header that spanned an opening. In other words, what you saw on the facade told the story of the building’s assembly and made sense of the structure. Because today’s materials do not play a structural role, designers make the mistake of applying them in ways that make buildings look weak and inauthentic.

Masonry Misfits

The most common error I see in structural syntax is the masonry wainscot. A traditional wainscot never decorated exterior walls. Instead, it protected the lower wall surface of a dining room or a library, where chairs could scrape the paint. The exterior masonry wainscot is a modern malady representing a brick or stone foundation. An accurate depiction of a masonry foundation would come up eighteen inches, just under the floor joists of a wood-framed house, indicating masonry stem walls. A foundation wall never creeps up the building to windowsill height.

10 - AIBD magazine Articles

Using a wainscot on the exterior façade came about with design covenants requiring a percentage of masonry on the front elevation. Builders find it less costly to go up a quarter of the wall instead of cladding the whole height with expensive masonry. We have become used to seeing this odd band of brick or stone, but to anyone alive before the early 1940’s it would look odd—they would ask, what’s wrong with that house with the windows on the floor? The effect is like a house with leg warmers and ruins the proportions of the lower level, truncating the walls.

Another masonry misapplication comes with placing brick or stone on the face of the wall and stopping at the corner. Always terminate the masonry at an inside corner. The obvious application of masonry as a veneer appears inauthentic and screams cheap. It is best not to use masonry at all than to betray the weight and strength of this noble material by applying it like Awallpaper.fewsimple

1. Never apply masonry part way up a wall unless it is only at foundation height. Cover the entire wall.

THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE AIBD - 11

Below: A good rule for placing exterior materials on a home is considering how those materials mirror the structure

2. Always turn the corner with masonry stopping at an inside corner. Sometimes designers turn the corner 24-inches or so, which is better than applying the veneer on only one face but does not look as authentic as taking the material back to an inside corner.

Selecting your Siding

guidelines will add authenticity to your masonry application.

4. Try to use a local stone or brick.

The siding material you choose defines the age and region of your home. For example, cedar shake was the most common material used to clad early colonial structures along the northeastern seaboard. In the South, beaded siding is widespread, especially in New Orleans. Stucco represents adobe materials common in the Southwest. The errors I see in blending various siding types, such as shake on the gable end over a clapboard house, come with misunderstanding the traditional application of siding.

Below: The stone on this house creeps up the wall to window sill height, a common, but inappropriate use of masonry wainscotting

3. Use one type of stone or brick and resist the urge to blend materials. The builders used the most readily available local material in a traditional home.

5. Use masonry on architectural features that can manage the weight and justify the application of such an imposing element.

Above: Homes clad with siding should include standard wood trim and a lintel that expresses its structural role. A rule of thumb for header board width is 1/6” the breadth of the opening. For example, an eight-inch head trim with sixinch casings works well over a four-foot opening. Drawing courtesy Steven Mouzon.

The trims used in siding represent structural elements, such as corner posts, headers, and window casings. The most common error I see in siding syntax is the use of brick moldings on a wood-sided house. Brick mold has a narrow profile and a kerf to receive plaster. This kerf hides the cracks between the rigid masonry and the wooden trim. Since traditional brick layers built their headers out of brick—and not a steel L-metal bolted to framing, the brick mold is skinny because it does not represent a structural element. However, in a wood-framed and sided structure, the header above an opening represents a structural beam and the casing of the beam’s supporting posts.

Siding Trim

InArticlesthecaseof

12 - AIBD magazine

Because carpenters cannot tool most synthetic sidings like wood, we have become accustomed to accommodations such as trims that look like outside corner posts. While post and beam buildings have

blending shake and clapboard, consider the historical use of shake as cladding shaved off cedar rounds by the carpenters on-site vs. clapboard as a material purchased from a mill. If the town had a mill, milled shingles would make sense on a gable end vs. roughhewn shake. I like to drop the shingles below the line of the gable end, unless it is very steep, to avoid the appearance of a narrow forehead—the skinny gable. Dropping the featured materials also allows you to wrap the change around the house, making the sides more attractive than a single cladding up the wall. The difference could be in texture, such as different materials, weight, narrower plank over a wider one, or just a new color.

Above: When changing materials, think of telling the story of how the house evolved over time, even when designing the whole building today.

When changing siding types on the wall, it makes most sense if the materials tell a story. For example, the main house features a clapboard, and the addition features batten and board. In traditional homes, changes in cladding usually responded to the materials available when the owners added on. So even though you design the entire structure now, when changing materials, think about telling a story that elapsed over time.

This siding offers dimensional stability over wood because it will not dry out and shrink—no unsightly gaps. In addition, this material does not require sealing end-cuts in the field, simplifying installation. Photo courtesy of Westlake Royal Building Products.

By combining claddings appropriately, leveraging visual weight, texture, and color you can add intreast to a facade. Keeping the structure in mind will help you maintain authenticity. Detailing the drainage plane appropriately will keep you from getting sued.

corner posts, framed structures do not. If you can, use siding that offers a mitered corner appearance. Examples of this include fiber cement, polyash, polypropylene shake, and wood siding.

Cladding materials deal with water differently. Masonry holds moisture that can damage framing if not appropriately detailed. PVC sidings allow air to circulate behind the material, which is why the building code refers to them as vented claddings. Fiber cement, engineered wood, and wood siding allow water to penetrate behind the siding and slowly trickle down the surface of the water-resistive barrier to weep out the bottom course. To help speed up the drying behind none-vented, clapboard-style sidings, building science experts, such as Martin Holladay, recommend always using a rains screen with these types of claddings.

Inspired by the traditional hip-roofed covered front porches, high ceilings, and large windows of Low Country vernacular, this home is a respectful modern take on the architectural style. Its distinctive use of materials brings new contrast to the exterior façade, while gabled heights between the main house and accessory garage tucked to the side pay homage to the style. Intimate spaces are separated from the more public, gathering spaces visually and spatially through an interior layout that is organized along a central axis extending from curved, barreled entrance and foyer to the interior living spaces that extend through the covered patio to the outdoor patio and pool beyond. Built into the landscape, it takes advantage of its steep elevation to create a lower-level entertainment area featuring exercise, game, theater, sauna, and bar space with a full walk-out tucked behind a retaining wall for added privacy. The home also offers a number of amenities like pool rooms and a guest suite above the garage, and flanking master suite wing and functional kitchen, sunroom, and pantry spaces on the main level.

This charming home was designed for a couple whose lot had stunning lake views. The designer had a couple of challenges to meet the goals of the clients. The first one was to get maximum views of the lake from as many rooms as possible. The second one was, the lot had a gradual drop in elevation and the client’s goal was to focus on main level entertaining, indoor/outdoor experience. The designer’s solution was to create multilevel spaces on the backside of the home to experience the breathtaking lake views. The exterior is inspired by cottage styled architecture and the clients wanted it to be timeless as well. The shake style exterior was complimented by board and batten, and paneling to give design interest. The black windows, metal roof, stone and wood accents brought in a mix of materials to create the timeless design. Arched windows and an arched entry were a musthave for the clients. The light gray color with white trim compliment this design with a romantic curb appeal. This 6,600 square foot design makes use of all three levels to it’s fullest potential. The main level has an open design and features a gorgeous sunroom with a decorative bar you walk through to enter the sunroom. The bar area shares a two-sided aquarium with the adjacent oce. The sunroom walks out to a pergola covered outdoor, casual seating area. These two areas of the home are the most often used rooms in the home. The kitchen features an elaborate wine display visible from the dining room. The convenient and functional pocketoce/pantry space is located at the front of the home for easy visibility to the front driveway and easy access for the kids coming home from school. The lower level is an entertainment paradise. It features a full bar, golf simulator with a viewing snack bar, a gaming space for billiards and a family room with a big screen TV. The upper level is home to the bedrooms. Each bedroom has their own bathroom and walk in closet. The expansive laundry room is located in the center of the upper level. A tucked away loft serves as a quiet oasis. This custom design has everything for this young family. It’s luxurious space and design will be timeless for years to come.

The various functional requirements are organized in an open plan around the garden, with views through the vegetation and outwards towards the reservoir. The main glazed living space extends out toward the view, is elevated above grade, and is anchored by the tropical garden at one end. It is thus surrounded by nature on all four sides, and achieves the biophilic goal of direct connectivity with the natural environment. The clients have roots in both New England and Brazil, and were attracted by the idea of combining design elements from both traditions and melding their distinct heritages in the style of the house. The design is influenced by the New England vernacular; its building practices and climate considerations. It is also inspired by the idea of the “”Maloca,”” which is a Brazilian term for a longhouse, a type of dwelling used by indigenous rainforest people of Brazil. One approaches the home through dense vegetation, allowing partial views of the house, and finally reaching an elevated boardwalk and covered deck that leads to the entrance. With proximity to the door, the view is increasingly occluded and the experience more compressed. Upon entering, the sense of space expands, and only then is the skylit garden “”discovered.”” It is a sunken rainforest of tall palms and leafy trees, dripping with bromeliads, vines, and epiphytes, planted in soil 8 feet deep. It presents nature, untamed, asserting itself through the floor below. The main living spaces are designed to encourage indoor-outdoor ambiguity. The floor, ceiling, and railings all extend outward, drawing the eye toward the natural world beyond, and allowing for an internal thermal barrier without compromising the visual experience. The more private family gathering and cooking areas are sited to the south, with a breakfast balcony extending from the kitchen into the garden. The bedrooms on the upper level also overlook the garden and experience its lush vegetation at canopy level. The home utilizes sustainable concepts and technologies throughout, including geothermal heating and cooling, rainwater harvesting, and solar power generation. The project was certified by the US Green Building Council and achieved LEED for Homes Platinum status.

The design for this single-family residence evolved out of a desire to be bathed in natural light and to be surrounded by nature. The site is located on a narrow suburban street. The parcel is tight and steeply sloped, with a densely vegetated hill sloping up to the south, but with amazing reservoir views to the north. One of the first challenges was how to introduce natural light into a home oriented to the north. What evolved was the notion of a central tropical garden as the primary organizing feature. This was exploited in both plan and section. The garden is square in plan and rises vertically through the house. It is illuminated by eight large south-facing skylights that convey natural light into the center of the house, extending all the way down to the lap pool in the basement.

This custom-built 6458 sq ft “Barn” was built on an existing ranch with beautiful views of the Texas Hill Country. The ranch had a historic 1890’s farmhouse that had been remodeled several times through the years the family has owned it. Through the years, the ranch has become a hub of family gatherings. The Elevation design was intended to fit with the restored 1890’s farmhouse on the property and to maximize the outdoor living spaces. The owner’s initial intention was to design the space as a “Car Barn”. This area would store and display the owner’s vintage car collection (Up to 6 cars). The cars can be moved out to transform to a large gathering hall and incorporate more entertaining space. As the project progressed, the space became a multifunctional building for entertaining and a retreat for a large growing family. It can accommodate large family gatherings with bunk rooms for the kids and sleeping quarters for adults. On the main level, ceilings are 12’ high, the scale of the barn feels like a grand space, but the down to earth materials provide warmth and simplicity. The concrete floors, and white walls throughout make the interior bright and airy, to display the unique cars and make their colors pop. Careful consideration was given to maintain structural integrity for the slide-fold glass panel doors These allow the entire lower level to be opened, blurring the transition from inside to outside and are the access points to the collection for weekend rides through the country.

Throughout the house the interior is bright and airy, natural light and open concept, but still has private nooks to provide cozy sitting areas. The slurried stone on all three 6-foot fireplaces have a rustic modern look that compliments the all-white and black barn. The beams of Douglas Fir compliment the posts on the outside veranda. The grand open area has enough dining area for 30. The home has four ensuite bedrooms each with spa baths and numerous details like custom tile or freestanding tub and wet rooms. The two owners’ suites are located on each side of the gallery sitting area. This has a balcony looking over the pasture, a fireplace, and a set of barn doors to close it off. The game room is the central space upstairs with a “hayloft” area. On the wall hangs a large TV. There is a large “pit” sofa can seat quite a few people for watching movies or football games. The two adjoining bunk rooms have 4 bunks each with plenty of storage On the other side of the game room is a hidden room behind a wall of mementos and a collection of western boots that reveal a quiet desk area and reading nook. Connecting to the game room is a gallery connecting two of the guest bedrooms.

The beam ceiling and large-scale light fixtures work for both display and intimate dinners. Three 6’ wide masonry fireplaces are appropriately scaled for the rooms, but locations create multiple spaces that are comfortable for two by the fire.

When a home is existing and is being added to or changed there are always unique challenges. However, there are also unique elements that make the new design particularly special. The Murion project is no different. Murion’s original structure had a very strong mid-century modern design, and it was desired that be continued into the new home design. The new design is characterized by floating rooflines, and towering chimneys. The intention to have to the new design be cohesive with the original structure design is achieved by adding the long rooflines and trapezoid windows. This home sits on a beautiful lake with stunning views from any place within. The rear design of the home is

characterized by sweeping views provided by the exterior being one hundred percent glass. There is np angle without a view of the lake.

Putting an exclamation point on the home and foyer is a floating, natural wood, stair featuring a glass enclosed wine cellar neatly tucked below the mid-landing. It is visible in a home which has no lower level.”

This Inspired by the traditional hip-roofed covered front porches, high ceilings, and large windows of Low Country vernacular, this home is a respectful modern take on the architectural style. Its distinctive use of materials brings new contrast to the exterior façade, while gabled heights between the main house and accessory garage tucked to the side pay homage to the style. Intimate spaces are separated from the more public, gathering spaces visually and spatially through an interior layout that is organized along a central axis extending from curved, barreled entrance and foyer to the interior living spaces that extend through the covered patio to the outdoor patio and pool beyond.

Built into the landscape, it takes advantage of its steep elevation to create a lower-level entertainment area featuring exercise, game, theater, sauna, and bar space with a full walk-out tucked behind a retaining wall for added privacy. The home also offers a number of amenities like pool rooms and a guest suite above the garage, and flanking master suite wing and functional kitchen, sunroom, and pantry spaces on the main level. Its combination of rooflines; use of natural stone, robust timbered columns, and black-framed windows; and siting create a grounded, well-balanced presence.

The design of this two-story “Transitional-style” home presented many challenges due to stringent zoning and site limitations, along with lofty client wants wishes, and desires. Because the property is in a Velocity-zone, a much more complicated super-structure had to be designed, engineered, and ultimately incorporated into this program, which made it even more challenging. Despite the many difficulties faced during the design, bidding, and building processes, this oneof-a-kind waterfront residence accomplished all of the client’s design and budgetary objectives. In addition, the completed design far exceeded their quality and lifestyle expectations. The home’s innovative architecture inside and out incorporates

In addition, a masterful Master Suite; a large open Gourmet Kitchen featuring a full complement of Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. In addition, a Media Room, and an oversized Sky Deck on the roof with Sky Bar round out this incredible home.

Despite the design and engineering challenges this project has presented, the design of this one-of-a-kind modern masterpiece accomplished all of the client’s design goals and far exceeded their expectations.

The design of this three-story modern home presented many challenges due to strict zoning regulations and numerous site constraints. The main design challenge was to create a plan that would achieve all of the client’s design goals on a relatively small homesite. In addition, the client required the design to take advantage of the incredible open bay views and to allow them to entertain up to 100 guests at a time.

Sanctuary Hills features a very distinctive green roof which is recognizable from every angle of the home. The green roofline features stunning gardens and lush plants. This home was designed around two specific desires. First, the clients’ have a love for astronomy and for the lush outdoors. As recreational astronomers, there needed to be a lot of opportunity for star gazing. This is achieved by a multitude of windows on the rear of the home.

Sanctuary Hills

Nestled on the bluff, the love of nature and stars are desires both met by the placement of the home, the windows, and the unique roof lines. The roof allows for a nature feel, but also can be used for star gazing. The use of so much glass on the home means there is a lot of natural light within the home, but also gives

the home an opportunity to feel like a part of the landscape. The indoor/outdoor living in the home is another strong feature. There are multiple decks and patios for different forms of entertaining. While this home has an incredibly open and inviting feel, there are also some secluded spaces. A pool completes the picture. Sanctuary Hills’ interior features wonderful opening living spaces, as well as an indoor greenhouse off the scullery. Sculleries have been somewhat modernized into what is now referred to as butler pantry. The needs of this home also included a work from home space, so there are large offices. This transitional style home is full of amenities and comforts of the modern lifestyle, including a library, theater, and expansive exercise room.

The challenge with this lot was nestling the house in comfortably on the lot that had some topography issues. The lot required some cutting to level the grade.

This home was designed for a busy and growing family on a property that has stunning views for miles. The homeowners were inspired by homes they had seen while visiting Santa Barbara. This also included the implementation of using the iconic blue front door. it is a definite statement and has people stopping to observe when they drive by. The use of arches in the home, softened some of the desired symmetry and gave the house some whimsical character.

Doherty Springs

This allowed for a relatively level back yard for the family pool and entertainment space before the back yard falls down hill. The cabinetry was designed to be used as a statement piece and to have fun artistically. The family spends much time preparing meals together which made the large center island a must to allow their children to help with meal prep and allow everyone to move freely in the space. The owners also preferred a lot of symmetry. This was captured in the master bath with opposing vanities to allow them to prepare for their day at the same time and still maintaining a luxurious spa feel.

This lakefront home’s master suite takes on the true form of serenity with a secluded place to rest your head at night and listen to waves roll up on the sandy shore. The master bathroom features a sauna that was artfully constructed by the homeowner from local lumber.

Whether your having guests over and entertaining at the bar or just having a quiet night in, this lakefront custom home is perfect for any family!

To further capitalize on the picturesque lake front property views, a cozy screen porch is tucked behind the kitchen, connected by a beverage center.

The good times flow as you begin your descent to the lower level. A fully stocked wet bar with all the modern amenities share a space with a games table. The live-edge walnut bar countertops are truly spectacular.

Upon entering the home, you are greeted with a treehouse view of the lake beyond. The warm wood floors and light-colored trim gives the great room an airy and comfortable feeling. The meticulously crafted fireplace surround is flanked with floor to ceiling built-ins that are echoed with half walls and columns at the opposite end of the great room. The kitchen remains clean and simple with neutral color cabinets and light backsplash tile. The lake’s vibrant blue color is pulled inside with a deep blue kitchen island with plenty of room for the whole family to sit around. Custom fabricated leaded glass acts as the backdrop for the eat-in dining room that is situated in front of the expansive stair hall. A cleverly positioned walk-through pantry is located behind the kitchen and features a functional ladder for reaching those hardto-get snacks.

wanted a design that felt cohesive with the brick veneer of their home, so brick piers and arches were created to support the upperlevel deck. The roof needed to be low profile so as not to block the second story windows adjacent to the new porch. This project was closely coordinated with the builder, as it was done in conjunction with the overall remodel of the existing home and painting of the exterior brick.

When the repeat clients came to us with their latest project we knew everything would be over the top. Starting with a Coastal Contemporary residence, we extended the indoor outdoor living all the way to the water. A main struggle when working with waterfront property is creating an inviting experience throughout the entire site. We utilized a terraced rear yard to allow the indoor living to easily transition all the way outside and on to the dock. Each section of terraced yard creates a separate living area for entertainment.

This prairie ranch is a sleek, contemporary home. Rough and polished finishes come together to create a uniform contrast in this striking façade. Alternating limestone and brick work detailing accented by the raised seam metal roof and rich horizontal siding. The main entry leads into a grand vestibule, the ceiling soars 17’ above as light pours through the fixed glass windows above. The entrance gently nudges you along the spacious foyer to the heart of the home. The open layout of the kitchen, dining and great room functions as one space while a subtle sense of division is created by the stepped ceiling. The u-shaped kitchen layout wraps its granite countertops around to the left with prep space and floor to ceiling storage. A large island with a waterfall countertop sits center; providing additional storage and snack bar seating.

A stunning 6,029 square foot transitional style home with clear influence from a time come and gone. Old world slurry brick emulates an old-world technique in contrast to smooth stucco with monolithic characteristics. Details like shed canopies with straight functional iron brackets add interest and functionality without characterizing any historic style. This design might best be interpreted as a new world order being extruded from the pages of history. Entry to this home is under a cathedral ceiling on axis with the foyer and study, flanked by the primary bedroom suite and the open kitchen, dining, and great room: all looking directly on to the back yard with direct access to the veranda and summer kitchen. Four additional bedroom suites reside on the second floor along with the game/media room with a hospitality bar. For those who may need additional garage space, four bays are provided to the back part of the home through a porte-cochere, which provides convenient covered service entry to the kitchen. This thoughtful home design is well laid out, convenient, and an efficient use of space. A luxury home with distinct style and character.

SkyHous is a luxurious, multi-family condominium highdensity residential development designed with pedestrian trails, large open space, and natural areas. The site is 10.24 acres of undeveloped shrub-steppe on land sloped between 20-60%. The goal is to provide 48 luxury condominiums across six separate buildings. The buildings are designed to be incorporated into the hillside to minimize excavation and intrusion of the new development into the views of existing neighbors above the development. The architectural features’ modern aesthetics speak to the region’s vernacular, promoting healthy indoor/ outdoor living with views overlooking the Columbia Basin. Over 50% of the vacant land below the buildings is planned to be designated as public open space and natural areas with pathways providing a safe link for pedestrian travel between neighborhoods, enhancing the walkability of the community. Sustainable, aesthetic water features including bioretention swales, a dog park, pea patch and green roofs on the top level of the buildings.

One unique problem set forth in this project was the vertical movement from the street/garage to all living areas above. A standard elevator would have either provided a less than pleasing addition to the aesthetic of the buildings or would have required extensive excavation into the bedrock of the hillside. After pursuing multiple options, the decision was made that an exterior incline elevator (tram) would provide a distinctive, efficient solution. This development emphasizes safety, security, and neighborhood integration. The design includes aesthetic that enhances the existing neighborhood, sustainable approaches to wastewater management, utilizing bioretention swales and adds public open spaces that will promote pedestrian connectivity thus, addressing the goals and policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.

The design challenge for this project was to add to, and renovate, a tired older “”build on your lot”” home from the late 1970’s. This existing home was being used by the our clients as a rental home. It is located near the shoreline of one of this states larger and more popular lakes. The owners planned to complete this project and move into the renovated house as their permanent retirement home. Living near the lake was a lifelong desire. This project was designed to capture the Modern Farmhouse style and feel.

Additionally, it was important that the final product look like an original build, and not a home that had been added on to. Future maintenance is an important design element, and the materials were chosen for longevity and ease of maintenance. This project had an original construction budget of $ 270,000.00. The final cost of construction came in at $ 282,000.00.This project was completed during the beginnings of the building material price hikes and availability issues. The builders worked hard to keep the budget in line, and their hard work to that end is evident.

Fantasy Island is clever construction that amazes you with its ingenuity.

Fantasy Island is a design feature unlike none other. Behold a grand retractable countertop that slides horizontally to connect the 8-foot indoor bar with the 8-foot outdoor kitchen island, eliminating the void left behind when the glass wall between is open.

GRAND ARDA WINNER - Design Feature

A design only truly accomplishes the fete when the barrier and any evidence that the barrier existed are both out of sight.

The innovation employs a hidden roller system that enables the countertop to silently and easily slide.

By connecting the indoor countertop with the outdoor one, the illusion of an infinity-edge slab of granite is created. Many designers claim their entries bring the “”outside in.””

This old world Tudor style design with brick and timber frame accents characteristic of the style. Sweeping roof kick-outs and curved diagonal timber bracing soften the hard edges and relax the heaviness of the design, like an old comfortable pair of shoes that are broken in after years of use. This design is comfortable and timeless which will outlast the test of time and emulate heritage, wealth, and prestige, for decades to come.

Living in Paradise

Stucco and modular stone are the two main surface materials used on this transitional estate home with a full standing seam metal roof. front entry of this 9222 sq. ft. luxury home is through a full lite steel door with full side lite panels. An impressive two-story stair lobby and two story lounge set the stage for your first impression from the foyer as you will also view through a series of windows and into the adjacent lanai. The pool is located between the lanai and veranda as the house wraps around the pool in a cloister like effect. A two-sided fireplace

between the veranda and summer kitchen aides to create the warm encompassing atmosphere the outdoor spaces provide. Other notable features are: a large covered balcony overlooking the pool and outdoor areas, elevator to the media/ game room, on the second floor, and a chef’s kitchen separated from the main kitchen. Aside from the curb appeal, the main focus of this plan design, has to be the outside space, where everything is focused on entertainment and fun.

This modern farmhouse was designed specifically for the area it was built; nestled between majestic oak trees and a pond on the property. The objective was to optimize the view from the house to highlight outdoor living at its best. The floor plan includes 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, an in-home theatre, and an additional office space with a half bathroom. The plan was drawn as a second home and future retirement home. With this in mind, it had to include aspects that one would want in a vacation home and accommodate future needs.
