Both of these houses were on the Cool House Tour of 2008. They were newly constructed homes, designed to fit into their spot in the neighborhood and to optimize energy efficiency. They have a bit of a contemporary edge to them while maintaining a certain warmth and "homey-ness". Project Design by Mark Lind Project Management by Jay Gammell Phtography by Greg Hursley in 2008

A kitchen remodel with a country feel. Builder: Avant Canyon Construction. Photographer: Indivar Sivanathan.

Our clients wanted their new kitchen to work with the colonial architecture of their Bloomfield Village home, but to feel modern, warm, and clutter free. We selected warm cherry cabinetry with a simple recessed panel, and repeated materials to keep the design simple. Limestone was used both on the floor and behind the six-burner Wolfe range, although we changed the scale of the tile to keep things interesting. The countertops are a velvety soft finished soapstone. It’s funny, but looking at this image, the look could very easily be changed if the barstools and lights over the island were more traditional. That’s the beauty of simplicity.
