Sample Our Work

The Chacon’s asked En-Motion Design to replace a first and second floor balcony that were falling apart at their home.  With our engineer, we came up with this simple, bold design.

Materials: Powder-coated steel, Ipe decking, and concrete for the footings.

Hana and Posy hired En-Motion Design as General Contractors for the fit-out for their new organic flower and gift shop.  We coordinated all aspects of construction including new floors, plumbing and electric, and new fixtures, as well as the building of a new bathroom, shelving, partition walls, and sliding 3-Form doors.

En-Motion Design was challenged to create a mudroom design for a 7’ x 5’ oddly shaped closet.  Our Clients asked for lots of storage space without making the room feel dark and heavy.  We built and installed a Plexiglas shoe rack for 80 pairs of shoes, steel mesh shelves and hangers, a wood bench, and a floating mirror.

One intention of this project was to create a stairway that was aesthetically unique, cost effective, and easy to install. Our inspiration was Legos. All of the stringer blocks were laser-cut, which allowed for precise fit ups and minimal shop fabrication. Materials are carbon steel and wood treads.

Materials: Powder coated steel, red oak treads, plexi-glass.

En-Motion Design was contracted to design, fabricate and install a partition wall and custom door between the guest room and bath. Our design materials were inspired by our clients’ idea of creating a Japanese motif. We used design elements that occur throughout the residence to inform and contextualize our design.

Materials: Clear plexiglass, 3-Form-Tiger grass, bamboo veneered plywood, and aluminum.

The clients came to us with a design idea and opportunity to re-façade their house. They also wanted new windows and a door. We demolished the skin of the house and refaced it with stained 1x6 cedar siding. The orientation and the fresh look gave the façade a modern feel.

Materials: Doors and Windows-Weathershield, Cabot’s Stain, 1x6 cedar-Diamond M Lumber.

On this project we had the opportunity to work along with other design/builders. This project is poised to be the city’s first LEED for homes mixed use building. We where approached to take on the steel materials for this project. Which included all the balcony railings, storefront windows, gates, handrails and front stair entry.

Materials: Powder coated steel, Galvanized steel and a moiré infill panel.

The client’s felt their kitchen was outdated and needed a face lift from the floor joists to the studded walls. The clients enjoy too cook and wanted to have a functional, restaurant style kitchen. The look they were after was achieved through the use of modern appliances, modern materials, and open style upper cabinets.

Materials: Flooring-shiraz, granite and butcher-block counter tops, Subzero appliances, Kraftmaid lower cabinets, custom steel and glass upper cabinets.

Our clients wanted to add a half bath to the house near the kitchen. They wanted to keep the bath in character with the rest of the house. We wanted the bathroom to have modern functionality without looking like it didn’t belong to the rest of the house. The result is a space that looks updated, yet is in harmony with the characteristics of the rest of the residence.

Materials: Kohler utilities, oak veneered shelf, wainscot and tile from home depot.

We were contracted by the Flaherty’s to design and build a new kitchen including new Decora` cabinets, a new refrigerator, new tile work, all new lighting, and a new bay window. Our challenge was to create more counter space and allow extra light into the kitchen creating a larger functional space. The new kitchen has a rustic feel with a modern flare and plenty of light.

En-Motion Design was hired to design and build a series of steel guardrails and glass floor as well as finish the renovation of the first floor of the Schmidt Residence. The renovation included refinishing the floors, completing a new stairway, new fireplace and mantel, drywall repair, and paint. They asked for something simple and creative, and are very happy with the result.

Materials: Powder-coated steel, 3-Form paneling, and 1” laminated glass panels.

For the 8 condos that make up the Thinflats building, En-Motion Design was asked to build a series of front doors, balconies, glass bathrooms, exterior stairs, handrails, and a glass and steel main stair and bridge. We worked closely with the designers to create a final product that was cutting edge aesthetically and fit within their tight budget. All of the interior steel was hand finished to give a richer, lively finish.

Materials: Acid blackened Carbon Steel with a polyurethane finish, Galvanized steel, Laminated glass panels for the Baths, Front doors, and Bridge floor, and solid acid-etched glass for the Stairs.
