A mixture of stone, cedar and cement board cedar breaks up the large planes of this Artisan Tour home. Carefully laid out by the architectures, there is a sense of balance and expansiveness to this Modern Prairie style project.

Lindgren Landscape

An abundance of blooms fill the Retreat with color in spring. "Very Peri" Cleveland Sage and bright green Dwarf Coyote Bush define the property line. In the distance, the delicate blooms of fragrant White and Pitcher Sages stretch out toward the street.

A convergence of sleek contemporary style and organic elements culminate in this elevated esthetic. High gloss white contrasts with sustainable bamboo veneers, run horizontally, and stained a warm matte caramel color. The showpiece is the 3” bamboo framing around the tall units, engineered in strips that perfectly align with the breaks in the surrounding cabinetry. So as not to clutter the clean lines of the flat panel doors, the white cabinets open with touch latches, most of which have lift-up mechanisms. Base cabinets have integrated channel hardware in stainless steel, echoing the appliances. Storage abounds, with such conveniences as tray partitions, corner swing-out lazy susans, and assorted dividers and inserts for the profusion of large drawers. Pure white quartz countertops terminate in a waterfall end at the peninsula, where there’s room for three comfortable stools under the overhang. A unique feature is the execution of the cooktop: it’s set flush into the countertop, with a fascia of quartz below it; the cooktop’s knobs are set into that fascia. To assure a clean look throughout, the quartz is continued onto the backsplashes, punctuated by a sheet of stainless steel behind the rangetop and hood. Serenity and style in a hardworking space.

Rénovation complète d'une maison de 200m2

This Mid Century inspired kitchen was manufactured for a couple who definitely didn't want a traditional 'new' fitted kitchen as part of their extension to a 1930's house in a desirable Manchester suburb. Sliding cupboards painted in Little Greene - Bright Bronze Green also house the electronic components of the media and entertainment system. A projector screen descends from above at the touch of a button for the full cinematic experience. Photo: Ian Hampson
