Asian influence in a contemporary kitchen that focuses on family. Family heritage infused into this contemporary kitchen for a young Asian American family. Large entertaining kitchen for a family that likes to cook. Simple cherry wood cabinets with slab doors. Asian style door handles and drawer pulls. Large stone eat in island. Green glass on the backsplash. Don Anderson

I again use the same exotic wood and copper elements.

This young couple spends part of the year in Japan and part of the year in the US. Their request was to fit a traditional Japanese bathroom into their tight space on a budget and create additional storage. The footprint remained the same on the vanity/toilet side of the room. In the place of the existing shower, we created a linen closet and in the place of the original built in tub we created a wet room with a shower area and a deep soaking tub.

This Asian-inspired design really pops in this kitchen. Between colorful pops, unique granite patterns, and tiled backsplash, the whole kitchen feels impressive!

Homeowner wanted a space for meditating. The white gravel is calming and represents water. Knox lighting core drilled into bluestone patio highlights the view of the space from her living room.

Our client has a large collection of bonsai trees and wanted an exhibition space for the extensive collection and a workshop to tend to the growing plants. Together we came up with a plan for a beautiful garden with plenty of space and a water feature. The design also included a Japanese-influenced pavilion in the middle of the garden. The pavilion is comprised of three separate rooms. The first room is features a tokonoma, a small recessed space to display art. The second, and largest room, provides an open area for display. The room can be accessed by large glass folding doors and has plenty of natural light filtering through the skylights above. The third room is a workspace with tool storage.

A very unique wall shelving unit. The geometric array of shelves creates greater visual interest than a standard square shaped asian curio or china cabinet. Decorate and enjoy! Photo by: Tri Ngo

We found this vintage credenza at an estate sale. The Buddha seems to belong on top of it. The painting is an original by Jennifer A. Emmer.
