Living Room Structural Redesign
This living room renovation focuses on reconfiguring structure to enhance scale, light, and spatial clarity. By raising the ceiling and reworking structural elements, the space is opened up to feel more expansive and balanced. Architectural changes are paired with carefully selected wall treatments, surfaces, and integrated lighting to create a cohesive backdrop for everyday living.
Wall treatments, surface materials, and lighting are selected and coordinated to work with the new structure.
Custom Wall Panels
Wall panels play a key role in shaping the character and proportion of the living room. Panel systems can be customized in material type, panel width, spacing, texture, and finish to respond to ceiling height, wall conditions, and overall architectural rhythm. From wood-based panels to advanced surface systems such as carbon crystal wall panels, materials are selected and configured to create depth, warmth, and a cohesive visual backdrop rather than applied as surface decoration.
Customization may include panel material selection, module dimensions, layout direction, joint detailing, surface texture, and integration with lighting or adjacent architectural elements.
Fireplace Design
Fireplace design often involves more than surface finishes. In many living room renovations, the fireplace wall is reworked to accommodate new proportions, updated ventilation, and integrated storage or display. Firebox size, surround depth, material thickness, and mounting height are adjusted based on the room’s scale and how the space is used.
Structural framing, material backing, and heat-clearance requirements are carefully coordinated before finishes are applied, allowing stone, panel systems, or plaster surfaces to be installed cleanly and safely as part of the redesigned wall.
Design considerations may include firebox sizing, wall framing adjustments, venting requirements, material backing, and finish transitions.
Staircase Design
This floating staircase is designed with cantilevered treads supported by concealed structural elements. By eliminating traditional risers and visible framing, the staircase maintains openness and allows light to pass through the space. Tread thickness, spacing, and structural support are engineered to meet code requirements while achieving a clean, weightless appearance.
Glass guardrails and minimal handrail detailing provide safety without interrupting sightlines, allowing the staircase to function as both a circulation element and a defining architectural feature.
Custom Bathroom Materials: What to Know
How do you design materials differently for wet and dry areas?
How do you design materials differently for wet and dry areas?
Materials are selected and detailed based on moisture exposure. Vanities and dry zones prioritize comfort and storage, while shower and wet areas focus on water control, durability, and proper transitions between surfaces.
What is the custom design process for bathroom materials?
What is the custom design process for bathroom materials?
The process typically includes evaluating the space and usage, defining material performance requirements, developing coordinated layouts and details, and finalizing specifications that align with both design intent and long-term durability.
Do you collaborate with designers on bathroom material specifications?
Do you collaborate with designers on bathroom material specifications?
Yes. We work closely with designers to review material options, detailing strategies, and technical considerations, supporting design intent from concept through execution.
