The Myers Residential

The coastal Great Room design for Cole and Aubrey Myers who are in the mid-60s is focused on universal design, sustainability, multi-purpose furniture, and natural elements.
The design solution uses light tones and the use of wood to achieve the coastal feel they requested and the use of natural materials. The challenge was to come up with a furniture layout that provided lots of seating options but still be within universal design requirements and to accomplish that coming up with alternative seating options that can be easily moved around for easy access around the room was critical to the outcome.
The integral parts of this design solution were the seating area, a place to reflect on their memories of bird watching together, and lots of storage for their puzzles and toys for their grandkids. This design provides plenty of seating for when they have guests come over without feeling like the room is too packed.

Eggshell paint in the color water droplet was selected because it is durable, and the color ties in with the color of the water from the beach. For the flooring, a light wood oak was chosen to tie in their want of natural elements and the tan color ties in the color of the sand.
Notable architectural features include the ledge stone that surrounds the fireplace and expands all the way up the wall and stops at the meeting point of the vaulted ceiling.

The miller’s Residential
Chief Architect, InDesign
This industrial-influenced craftsman bath has elements that lend to an industrial feel, such as the “concrete” tiles, black metal elements, and the unique addition of the literal penny tiles. In contrast to the sleek look of the industrial elements, reclaimed wood, deep green tile and paint, and brushed bronze accents bring a sense of coziness and warmth to a room that is essential to starting and ending the day.
Design Problem:
o Aging in place strategies implemented for a space that grows with them
o Craftsman/ historical elements to be preserved
o Modern amenities to be implemented with the craftsman elements
o Ample storage is important
Design Solution:
o Ample space for a turning radius and barrier-free shower for ease of use for all able bodied individuals
o Use of reclaimed wood and thick trims for craftsman style retention
o Brushed bronze and black hardware/ accessories for modernized feel
o Wolf cabinetry utilized in conjunction with niched shelves for ample storage
