The clients called me on the recommendation from a neighbor of mine who had met them at a conference and learned of their need for an architect. They contacted me and after meeting to discuss their project they invited me to visit their site, not far from White Salmon in Washington State. Initially, the couple discussed building a ‘Weekend’ retreat on their 20± acres of land. Their site was in the foothills of a range of mountains that offered views of both Mt. Adams to the North and Mt. Hood to the South. They wanted to develop a place that was ‘cabin-like’ but with a degree of refinement to it and take advantage of the primary views to the north, south and west. They also wanted to have a strong connection to their immediate outdoors. Before long my clients came to the conclusion that they no longer perceived this as simply a weekend retreat but were now interested in making this their primary residence. With this new focus we concentrated on keeping the refined cabin approach but needed to add some additional functions and square feet to the original program. They wanted to downsize from their current 3,500± SF city residence to a more modest 2,000 – 2,500 SF space. They desired a singular open Living, Dining and Kitchen area but needed to have a separate room for their television and upright piano. They were empty nesters and wanted only two bedrooms and decided that they would have two ‘Master’ bedrooms, one on the lower floor and the other on the upper floor (they planned to build additional ‘Guest’ cabins to accommodate others in the near future). The original scheme for the weekend retreat was only one floor with the second bedroom tucked away on the north side of the house next to the breezeway opposite of the carport. Another consideration that we had to resolve was that the particular location that was deemed the best building site had diametrically opposed advantages and disadvantages. The views and primary solar orientations were also the source of the prevailing winds, out of the Southwest. The resolve was to provide a semi-circular low-profile earth berm on the south/southwest side of the structure to serve as a wind-foil directing the strongest breezes up and over the structure. Because our selected site was in a saddle of land that then sloped off to the south/southwest the combination of the earth berm and the sloping hill would effectively created a ‘nestled’ form allowing the winds rushing up the hillside to shoot over most of the house. This allowed me to keep the favorable orientation to both the views and sun without being completely compromised by the winds.

When the owners of this Philadelphia dwelling met with Christian Manzo of Renaissance Design regarding their vision for their kitchen, they had one specific request: “Add some interest and some charm.” With this direction, Manzo was soon at work recreating the room. The designer began the project by removing sterile white cabinetry and flooring. With this blank canvas, Manzo created an area for the family to enjoy a cup of coffee or a quick meal by installing a center island. Since the homeowners enjoy cooking, they selected commercialquality appliances, including a convection microwave and a stainless steel warming drawer. In order to separate the eating area from the great room, Manzo designed a buffet area and built-in bar, complete with a wine refrigerator. To achieve some of the charm the homeowners desired, they chose warm-toned, custom pine cabinetry with a chocolate glaze and distressed finish. Manzo also installed character-grade oak flooring to further enhance the look. The deep jewel- toned granite countertops, as well as the recessed and undercounter halogen lighting, complete the overall design. The new kitchen is fit for an avid gourmet, complete with the perfect sprinkling of interest and charm.

Contracted to photograph multiple projects for Trunk UK (based in Kesh, N. Ireland), this was the most prestigious. Part of an expansive country estate in Kildare, Ireland, I photographed one of the outlying buildings being developed for hospitality end use. My client's products were the wooden floors, tiling and some wooden trim integrated within the property to reflect and enhance the original decor of the property. The project was shot in two days and turnaround from start to delivery of images to client was four working days. Such a pleasure to experience this grand and historic place.

If it's made of wood, we can build it. Custom built cabinets the way you want them built. American Birch, Poplar or Maple hard wood. Paint or Stain grade.

The light glazed and distressed cabinetry plays well on the dark terracotta floors. Granite countertops add to the subdued tones of this relaxed feel kitchen remodel.
