Schrader & CompaniesAn abundance of living space is only part of the appeal of this traditional French county home. Strong architectural elements and a lavish interior design, including cathedral-arched beamed ceilings, hand-scraped and French bleed-edged walnut floors, faux finished ceilings, and custom tile inlays add to the home's charm.
This home features heated floors in the basement, a mirrored flat screen television in the kitchen/family room, an expansive master closet, and a large laundry/crafts room with Romeo & Juliet balcony to the front yard.
The gourmet kitchen features a custom range hood in limestone, inspired by Romanesque architecture, a custom panel French armoire refrigerator, and a 12 foot antiqued granite island.
Every child needs his or her personal space, offered via a large secret kids room and a hidden passageway between the kids' bedrooms.
A 1,000 square foot concrete sport court under the garage creates a fun environment for staying active year-round. The fun continues in the sunken media area featuring a game room, 110-inch screen, and 14-foot granite bar.

GravitasThis is a 10x20 studio with full kitchen and full bath. A small sleeping loft with a Murphy bed is accessed by a ladder that is integrated into the bookcase. This is a small studio that we designed for a couple from Austin who moved to Boise. This will be a writing studio for one of the owners and occasional guest house. It's fun to see the work that is being created in the space and hear about the writing workshops that are hosted there. The clients asked us to be inspired by Japanese tea houses but with a modern influence. We are seeing projects trend smaller, but this one went all the way to micro-house, tiny house. We would love to hear from you to discuss new projects, no matter the size, as you can see.
