Als neuer Wohnstandard für Premium-Immobilien bietet Connected Comfort intelligent aufeinander abgestimmte Komforttechnik für besondere Ansprüche. Das Konzept basiert auf digitaler Vernetzung von Komfort-, Entertainment- und Sicherheitsfunktionen verschiedener Systeme und Marken, die sonst nur als Insellösungen existieren. Hinter Connected Comfort steht eine Allianz führender Marken hochwertiger Haustechnik wie Gira, Dornbracht, Revox und Miele. Dabei inspiriert das Zusammenspiel der optimal aufeinander abgestimmten Komponenten der beteiligten Marken immer wieder aufs Neue: Eine intuitive Steuerung erleichtert die Bedienung einzelner Produkte genauso wie das Auslösen raumübergreifender Szenarien. Die Technik tritt dabei dezent in den Hintergrund. Dieses Bedienkonzept setzt sich bei allen Marken fort: Das Smart Tool von Dornbracht, die programmierbaren Taster und das Bediendisplay des Client 9 von Gira, die Displays des Mulitroom-Systems von Revox oder die Funktionen von Miele@home. Alles fügt sich harmonisch in die Raumumgebung ein. Fotos: Ulrich Beuttenmüller

The existing bathroom only had a bathtub. We added a shower, which gave us the opportunity to use this gorgeous, green tile. With a tight budget, we brought in an off-the-shelf floating vanity to save money but finished it off with an upgraded faucet and gorgeous, solid brass hardware. We also brought in marble, penny tile on the floors for a bit of luxury.

Words cannot describe the level of transformation this beautiful 60’s ranch has undergone. The home was blessed with a ton of natural light, however the sectioned rooms made for large awkward spaces without much functionality. By removing the dividing walls and reworking a few key functioning walls, this home is ready to entertain friends and family for all occasions. The large island has dual ovens for serious bake-off competitions accompanied with an inset induction cooktop equipped with a pop-up ventilation system. Plenty of storage surrounds the cooking stations providing large countertop space and seating nook for two. The beautiful natural quartzite is a show stopper throughout with it’s honed finish and serene blue/green hue providing a touch of color. Mother-of-Pearl backsplash tiles compliment the quartzite countertops and soft linen cabinets. The level of functionality has been elevated by moving the washer & dryer to a newly created closet situated behind the refrigerator and keeps hidden by a ceiling mounted barn-door. The new laundry room and storage closet opposite provide a functional solution for maintaining easy access to both areas without door swings restricting the path to the family room. Full height pantry cabinet make up the rest of the wall providing plenty of storage space and a natural division between casual dining to formal dining. Built-in cabinetry with glass doors provides the opportunity to showcase family dishes and heirlooms accented with in-cabinet lighting. With the wall partitions removed, the dining room easily flows into the rest of the home while maintaining its special moment. A large peninsula divides the kitchen space from the seating room providing plentiful storage including countertop cabinets for hidden storage, a charging nook, and a custom doggy station for the beloved dog with an elevated bowl deck and shallow drawer for leashes and treats! Beautiful large format tiles with a touch of modern flair bring all these spaces together providing a texture and color unlike any other with spots of iridescence, brushed concrete, and hues of blue and green. The original master bath and closet was divided into two parts separated by a hallway and door leading to the outside. This created an itty-bitty bathroom and plenty of untapped floor space with potential! By removing the interior walls and bringing the new bathroom space into the bedroom, we created a functional bathroom and walk-in closet space. By reconfiguration the bathroom layout to accommodate a walk-in shower and dual vanity, we took advantage of every square inch and made it functional and beautiful! A pocket door leads into the bathroom suite and a large full-length mirror on a mosaic accent wall greets you upon entering. To the left is a pocket door leading into the walk-in closet, and to the right is the new master bath. A natural marble floor mosaic in a basket weave pattern is warm to the touch thanks to the heating system underneath. Large format white wall tiles with glass mosaic accent in the shower and continues as a wainscot throughout the bathroom providing a modern touch and compliment the classic marble floor. A crisp white double vanity furniture piece completes the space. The journey of the Yosemite project is one we will never forget. Not only were we given the opportunity to transform this beautiful home into a more functional and beautiful space, we were blessed with such amazing clients who were endlessly appreciative of TVL – and for that we are grateful!

This beautiful Potomac Home was greatly damaged by fire, then was fully restored by our team with a master suite addition to one side and a family room and garage addition to the other. Great pains were taken by the owners to match the brick all the way.

Our West Montrose project features a living room, master bathroom, and kid's bathroom renovation. This ensuite was designed to exude a calmness, embracing colours and textures of nature. The green shiplap creates a warm alcove for the freestanding tub and compliments the beautiful brass hardware. We finished the walls with a soft grey roman clay finish that gives a warm feeling to the space. The shower arch is another feature that elevates the walk-in shower and highlights the beautiful marble mosaic tiles.

Adding light to the vanity with wall sconces by Visual Comfort and under cabinet lighting which is motion censored, really makes this windowless, attic bathroom just shine. The shower having a slanted wall was a challenge for a shower door. This frameless door really steals the show and is the most functional item in the room.

In the master bathroom, Medallion Silverline Lancaster door Macchiato Painted vanity with White Alabaster Cultured Marble countertop. The floor to ceiling subway tile in the shower is Gloss White 3x12 and the shower floor is 2x2 Mossia Milestone Breccia in White Matte. White Quadrilateral shelves are installed in the shower. On the floor is Homecrest Nirvana Oasis flooring.

We updated this 1907 two-story family home for re-sale. We added modern design elements and amenities while retaining the home’s original charm in the layout and key details. The aim was to optimize the value of the property for a prospective buyer, within a reasonable budget. New French doors from kitchen and a rear bedroom open out to a new bi-level deck that allows good sight lines, functional outdoor living space, and easy access to a garden full of mature fruit trees. French doors from an upstairs bedroom open out to a private high deck overlooking the garden. The garage has been converted to a family room that opens to the garden. The bathrooms and kitchen were remodeled the kitchen with simple, light, classic materials and contemporary lighting fixtures. New windows and skylights flood the spaces with light. Stained wood windows and doors at the kitchen pick up on the original stained wood of the other living spaces. New redwood picture molding was created for the living room where traces in the plaster suggested that picture molding has originally been. A sweet corner window seat at the living room was restored. At a downstairs bedroom we created a new plate rail and other redwood trim matching the original at the dining room. The original dining room hutch and woodwork were restored and a new mantel built for the fireplace. We built deep shelves into space carved out of the attic next to upstairs bedrooms and added other built-ins for character and usefulness. Storage was created in nooks throughout the house. A small room off the kitchen was set up for efficient laundry and pantry space. We provided the future owner of the house with plans showing design possibilities for expanding the house and creating a master suite with upstairs roof dormers and a small addition downstairs. The proposed design would optimize the house for current use while respecting the original integrity of the house.
