When the day on the lake ends, the good times continue in the spacious family room. Shown here is the wood burning stone face fireplace with a space for logs, and built-in TV. The mantle is 8" x 12" hand hewn pine with support pegs. On the right - the arched door is a temperature and humidity controlled wine room.

Fireplaces

Rolf Schroeder General Contractors, Inc.

This fireplace used to be a floor to ceiling large round stone fireplace that was too heavy for the room. The Client was looking for a more clean line and reduced in size fireplace, so we designed a fireplace that incorporated the use of dry stacked quartzite stone with a custom made beaded mantel. In place of the slate hearth we installed a leathered piece of black granite.

The Verse

With two teen daughters, a one bathroom house isn’t going to cut it. In order to keep the peace, our clients tore down an existing house in Richmond, BC to build a dream home suitable for a growing family. The plan. To keep the business on the main floor, complete with gym and media room, and have the bedrooms on the upper floor to retreat to for moments of tranquility. Designed in an Arts and Crafts manner, the home’s facade and interior impeccably flow together. Most of the rooms have craftsman style custom millwork designed for continuity. The highlight of the main floor is the dining room with a ridge skylight where ship-lap and exposed beams are used as finishing touches. Large windows were installed throughout to maximize light and two covered outdoor patios built for extra square footage. The kitchen overlooks the great room and comes with a separate wok kitchen. You can never have too many kitchens! The upper floor was designed with a Jack and Jill bathroom for the girls and a fourth bedroom with en-suite for one of them to move to when the need presents itself. Mom and dad thought things through and kept their master bedroom and en-suite on the opposite side of the floor. With such a well thought out floor plan, this home is sure to please for years to come.

The goal of this design was to upgrade the function and style of the kitchen and integrate with the family room space in a dramatic way. Columns and wainscot paneling trail from the kitchen to envelope the family area and allow this open space to function cohesively.

Barcroft First Floor Addition

Atlas Moran Construction

We expanded the main level of this 1947 colonial in the Barcroft neighborhood of Arlington with a first floor addition at the rear of the house. The new addition made room for an open and expanded kitchen, a new dining room, and a great room with vaulted ceilings.

This New Build sits on a stunning body of water and has a unique quality about the space itself. While it has qualities of a more contemporary style with the vast open space, the client’s style was not necessarily contemporary by nature. Since most of the main floor was integrated into one large area the approach for furnishings and fabrics could not be overly traditional. I combined some geometric patterns with a transitional frame to ensure the space was not too overdone. The result is a current yet timeless look that will be in style for years to come.
