Home Gym Just One of This Remodel’s Dramatic Touches

In the heart of downtown Greenville, an award-winning home renovation is turning heads with its unique array of detailed features. However, this remodel is not just about the visible features but also involves functionality that meets the unique needs of homeowners.

A Space for Fitness

The remodel, led by Stone Construction and Design, recently bagged three accolades at the 2023 Bridge Awards, including Best Innovation of Space. Among the remarkable transformations in the project is a home gym with specifically chosen touchpoints to cater to even the most strenuous workout routines.

“We built a new stairway, transforming the previously unused attic into a gym equipped with a sauna and bathroom,” Brad Stone, the founder of Stone Construction and Design, explains. The gym was a special request from the owners, who wanted a dedicated space for their post-workout recoveries. To make the space even more user-friendly, a mini-refrigerator was built in for easy access to cold water.

The challenge of achieving the desired temperature in the gym was solved creatively. The exposed ductwork was painted to blend seamlessly with the roof supports while the overall insulation was improved for climate comfort.

Functional Aesthetic

Inside the house, a remodeled bathroom flaunts a classic herringbone-tiled shower, while a light-filled laundry room blends functionality with aesthetics – a feature that won the Bridge Award for Highest Degree of Difficulty. The kitchen underwent a major transformation as well, starting with the creation of a large opening around the kitchen peninsula. This was achieved by using a steel beam for supporting what was previously an exterior wall.

Stone elaborates that Stacy Quattlebaum of Stacy Quattlebaum Designs and Interiors took the project to the next level by implementing nuances that met the homeowner’s specifications. For instance, the Butler’s pantry now has a coffee station with a pot filler faucet. These small yet impactful additions enhance both lifestyle and aesthetic appeal.

Hidden Innovations

More innovations are apparent throughout the kitchen, such as a full-height backsplash which uses the same material as the countertop. Outlets are smartly tucked near the under-cabinet lighting, making them invisible yet easily accessible. The absence of any visible outlets or switches in the backsplash gives it a clean look.

“We’ve started hiding a lot of the outlets and even switches under the cabinets,” Stone explains. This trend of concealment in design adds to the sleek aesthetic appeal without compromising on functionality. The Stone Construction and Design team is working more and more with details like hot water dispensers at bars, steam ovens, and stylish grid patterns on cabinet doors.

The renovation exemplifies how a home can embody both dramatic design elements and functional adjustments to cater to the unique lifestyle of its residents. This Greenville home’s transformation is a testament to the emerging trends in the world of home remodeling and interior design.
