CRAVER Architects: November 2009

PHOTOS: HOME

HOME is where the heart is. It has many meanings for people at many stages of life: shelter, retreat, safe haven, celebration, a mirror of ourselves, a place to gather. Creating a home that works for you is our goal. CRAVER Architects is commited to listening to your needs and implimenting them in a one of a kind design that is as unique as you are.

WORK

A PLACE for everything and everything in its place. Creating spaces that are organized well for the specific type of task and workflow is one of the best tools for productivity. Even more important, an inviting work environment sets the scene for inspiration and invention.

PLAY

Taking TIME in life for play and relaxation keeps you fresh, rejuvenated and inspired. We believe in developing strong connections to the natural world that root your house in the landscape and offer opportunities for integrating play into your ritual whether it be a daily visit to your secret garden or a weekend trip to your private getaway.

Visualizing what the finished project will look like is not always easy and at the other end, it's often hard to remember what used to be there. At the end of what is usually a long road for most of my clients, it's good to look back and see how much improvement has taken shape. For that reason, I recommend taking as many pictures as possible throughout construction.

Before and After

Here is an update on one of our projects, currently in construction. It is coming along very nicely:

New Photos

The dust has finally settled here long enough for me to get some new pictures taken of the finished interiors of our own home renovation.

The Living Room with it's much improved circulation. It didn't get any bigger but the improved traffic flow, new window/door units and added insulation all make the room more comfortable to be in.

The built-in surround sound system is sleek and unobtrusive; perfect for a small room.

The Dining Room has the best view in the house. Directly off the Kitchen, the open floor plan lets both rooms capture the terrific natural light streaming in from the southern exposure. The rooms feel bigger because of the expansive visual connection to the new Patio and large yard.
