2006 DBT Gold "Remodel of the Year" Award, Kansas City Homes & Gardens

A master bath and closet suite were created out of a guest bedroom, bathroom and closets. Architectural details include a curved wall and interesting shapes with soffits at the vaulted ceiling. Tile work in the walk-in shower and metal shelf supports provide beautifully designed and crafted details. Hammered copper lavatories, tumbled marble floors and Venetian plaster walls add to the creative effect.

2006 DBT Silver "Remodel of the Year" Award, Kansas City Homes & Gardens

Overlooking a virgin timber area with a small lake, the client desired an outdoor area to feel like being in a tree house. DBT designed and built an outdoor room with two walls and a pitched roof. The other two "walls" are open at the tree top level. Windows in the actual wall are covered with custom working shutters. A slate product is used on the floor and as a fireplace surround. The room has a ceiling fan and another round window in the gable area of the roof.
