FROM LIVING ROOM TO OFFICE

A little-used living room is transformed into a professional office.


Owner: 
Glen Miller of G. A. Miller Architecture, PC
(Specialty: commercial design including small businesses and multi-unit franchises)

 Prior to this remodel, Glen rented space in a Class B office complex.  

In this mobile world of instant communication and mobile technology, Glen is able to retain clients all over the U.S. and Canada from his new full-service office from home.

The remodel paid for itself in a little over one year.

Crisp, clean lines and contrasting textures work well in this architect's office. 

Interior Design:
GA Miller Architecture worked in collaboration with
 Debora Souza IIDA
Think Work Interiors LLC

Mountain views and beautiful light streams into the office space.

All Things DECK!

• Has your deck seen better days?  
• Tired of the constant upkeep and maintenance?
• Is your patio boring? 

This might be the time to update your deck with

Outdoor tiles
Another easy-care option

Here's how the above waterproof tile deck is done.

Waterproof membrane

Tiles raised off membrane for drainage

How about a covered patio to get out of the sun and rain?

Or a front porch?

How about an arbor?

Or a trellis

Would this look good in your backyard?
