A retired couple desired a valiant master suite in their “forever home”. After living in their mid-century house for many years, they approached our design team with a concept to add a 3rd story suite with sweeping views of Puget sound. Our team stood atop the home’s rooftop with the clients admiring the view that this structural lift would create in enjoyment and value. The only concern was how they and their dear-old dog, would get from their ground floor garage entrance in the daylight basement to this new suite in the sky? Our CAPS design team specified universal design elements throughout the home, to allow the couple and their 120lb. Pit Bull Terrier to age in place. A new residential elevator added to the westside of the home. Placing the elevator shaft on the exterior of the home minimized the need for interior structural changes. A shed roof for the addition followed the slope of the site, creating tall walls on the east side of the master suite to allow ample daylight into rooms without sacrificing useable wall space in the closet or bathroom. This kept the western walls low to reduce the amount of direct sunlight from the late afternoon sun, while maximizing the view of the Puget Sound and distant Olympic mountain range. The master suite is the crowning glory of the redesigned home. The bedroom puts the bed up close to the wide picture window. While soothing violet-colored walls and a plush upholstered headboard have created a bedroom that encourages lounging, including a plush dog bed. A private balcony provides yet another excuse for never leaving the bedroom suite, and clerestory windows between the bedroom and adjacent master bathroom help flood the entire space with natural light. The master bathroom includes an easy-access shower, his-and-her vanities with motion-sensor toe kick lights, and pops of beachy blue in the tile work and on the ceiling for a spa-like feel. Some other universal design features in this master suite include wider doorways, accessible balcony, wall mounted vanities, tile and vinyl floor surfaces to reduce transition and pocket doors for easy use. A large walk-through closet links the bedroom and bathroom, with clerestory windows at the high ceilings The third floor is finished off with a vestibule area with an indoor sauna, and an adjacent entertainment deck with an outdoor kitchen & bar.

Our Carmel design-build studio was tasked with organizing our client’s basement and main floor to improve functionality and create spaces for entertaining. In the basement, the goal was to include a simple dry bar, theater area, mingling or lounge area, playroom, and gym space with the vibe of a swanky lounge with a moody color scheme. In the large theater area, a U-shaped sectional with a sofa table and bar stools with a deep blue, gold, white, and wood theme create a sophisticated appeal. The addition of a perpendicular wall for the new bar created a nook for a long banquette. With a couple of elegant cocktail tables and chairs, it demarcates the lounge area. Sliding metal doors, chunky picture ledges, architectural accent walls, and artsy wall sconces add a pop of fun. On the main floor, a unique feature fireplace creates architectural interest. The traditional painted surround was removed, and dark large format tile was added to the entire chase, as well as rustic iron brackets and wood mantel. The moldings behind the TV console create a dramatic dimensional feature, and a built-in bench along the back window adds extra seating and offers storage space to tuck away the toys. In the office, a beautiful feature wall was installed to balance the built-ins on the other side. The powder room also received a fun facelift, giving it character and glitz. --- Project completed by Wendy Langston's Everything Home interior design firm, which serves Carmel, Zionsville, Fishers, Westfield, Noblesville, and Indianapolis.

INTRODUCCIÓN El colegio público de Ntra. Sª de Sequeros de Zarza la Mayor no contaba con gimnasio cubierto, lo que dificultaba las clases de deporte dadas las bajas temperaturas y las frecuentes lluvias durante el invierno en la localidad. Tampoco contaba con un espacio donde, a modo de ágora, reunir al alumnado bajo techo. IMPLANTACIÓN La mayor dificultad de este proyecto era conseguir una correcta y respetuosa implantación del mismo, dados los condicionantes, en forma de preexistencias, con los que contaba la parcela y su relación con los espacios circundantes. Se quería evitar que el nuevo volumen se entendiera como un cuerpo totalmente ajeno a lo existente y fuera de escala. PROGRAMA El nuevo S.U.M cuenta con una única planta y con dos accesos: uno de ellos, el que tiene lugar a través del patio del colegio, se trata del acceso principal. El otro es por la fachada posterior, siendo éste el único itinerario accesible. Todas las estancias cuentan con ventilación e iluminación natural. La sección del nuevo S.U.M. se organiza en 3 volúmenes: el volumen central, que alberga la zona de juego para el alumnado, es flanqueado en sus extremos por dos volúmenes donde la altura se reduce, ya que además de albergar los espacios de carácter secundario (el almacén, el cuarto de instalaciones y aseos) ayudan a recuperar la escala del resto de los edificios existentes en el colegio.
