North Hills Residence

Thomas — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:29:31 +0000

The North Hills Residence was designed letting the site and the views dictate the form of the home and landscape. The site overlooks the Salt Lake Valley with spectacular views to the east mountains, the city in the south and the Great Salt Lake to the west. The home captures and frames those views while respecting the sites environmental factors like sun angles to create a comfortable, livable space that will be cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

The four bedroom, three bathroom home includes a master suite with connecting den, a Great-room with connected kitchen and living space, one bedroom can be sectioned off as a guest suite, a family room/game room with wet bar adjoining the outdoor kitchen and pool/spa area, home theater with 15′ projection screen, 2.5 car garage, and a spacious yard with garden space, xeriscape landscaping and grass for the kids to play on.

Tired of Living in the Past?

Homes, like people, should be unique. From the way your family spends breakfast to how your living room interacts with the backyard, your space shapes the way you live. Instead of taking a backseat to “traditional” residential design, start living your own life by making your home work for you.

Whether it’s opening a space to allow light and friends to flow more easily, or creating intimate and cozy corners, Kingbird Design can help you make your home more livable. Let our architecturally trained designers give you a fresh look at the way you live and rejuvenate your home into a comfortable, usable space.

From Basement to Art Studio

This project began with nothing but a dark, rough concrete basement. The client needed an economical way of transforming it into a comfortable art studio. Insulated walls, recessed lighting, and bold trim were added, but the real focal point of the room is the stained concrete floor.

This treatment saved the client from installing expensive flooring materials like hardwood or tile. It also serves functionally as an easy to clean surface. The rich color gives a feeling of warmth that most basements lack.

Staining is a great way to elevate the style of almost any concrete surface. A wide range of colors and finishes are possible. Ask us for ideas, we can help bring your interior and exterior spaces up a notch or two.

A Picture is Worth…

Fine art is Kingbird Design’s impetus. From sculpture and paintings to furniture and vases, our designers have extensive backgrounds in art that allow for each original piece to be handcrafted with excellence. Let us create the perfect focal point or accent for your home or garden.

Vases

Kingbird’s concrete vases have been showcased in weddings, homes and offices. Using materials like metal, glass, and dyed concrete each vase is unique and handcrafted.

Painting

Painting has been an inspiring creative outlet for each of us at Kingbird. Hanging our work in local galleries in the Salt Lake Valley, we draw from the rich natural and cultural environments here in the West. Our goal as designers is to capture a sense of artistic design in every project we do. Form does follow function, but life is meant to be beautiful.

3-Dimensional Design

Thomas — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 02:03:27 +0000

Whether it’s custom furniture or sculpture, as designers trained in spacial relationships, we enjoy designing in three dimensions. All fields of design benefit from overlapping concepts. We strive to develop our skills in as many creative pursuits as possible. We find that varied experience helps us in all our projects.

Suburban Renovation

Thomas — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:49:06 +0000

With the demolition of a wall and a few simple changes like hard wood floors and updated cabinets, this suburban home was brought gracefully into the twenty first century. The open space allows the family to spend time together while enjoying their separate activities. We worked with the owners to include unique custom details creating a sense of individuality and warmth that they enjoy coming home to each day.

Resurface your live/work space

Time to rethink the laminates?

Kingbird Design creates beautiful concrete and hardwood countertops for kitchens and bathrooms. We imbue every one of our creations with quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Custom countertops can elevate an average room to a stylish showpiece.

Concrete is a highly customizable material with a finished feel and properties similar to stone. Whether you are looking for clean lines and smooth surfaces to create an ultra-modern style or beveled edges and undulating hue and texture to complement a more traditional sense of design, the possibilities are endless. From inlays to custom shapes, your counters are no longer confined to the norm. Let us help you dream big.

Master Bath Concrete Vanity Top

Thomas — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:41:49 +0000

This master bath called for a clean, earthy feel. Un-dyed concrete with a satin finish is offset by a hammered copper sink and stone backsplash. The client felt that the traditional cabinet height was too short, so we added a custom storage space between the existing vanity and the new countertop.
