Connecting with Nature

Posted by: B&P on Oct 18, 2010

This Potomac, MD residence is another version of a home reaching over a hillside and floating into the trees to enjoy a 360 degree connection with nature from inside the room.  Notice the traditional windows on the right ease the transition between contemporary and traditional aspects of this house. 

 

In search of hidden wires

Posted by: B&P on Oct 14, 2010

Have you ever said “Where can I put those wires they look terrible”?  We came up with an unusual solution to this problem.  During the remodel we created a floating wooden slab with hidden doors to conceal all the Home Theater and stereo components as well as the unsightly wires for this home in Potomac, Md.  The slab is held up by cantilever steel brackets out of the wall.  This gives the room an architectural focus while solving the problem.
We love the challenge of architecturally driven projects.  Accordingly, we have developed our staff and systems around the specific needs of this type of work. The sophistication of this process pays off for our highly detailed designs; in fact it is key to our ability to consistently deliver works of beauty and grace.
