"We imagined how six people would use the space and developed the shape accordingly," says Hello Wood cofounder Dávid Ráday. "We took inspiration from the design of space capsules, and the cabin was refined step by step before reaching its final form."

After three more steps, the cabinets end up in their final "cell," where they are assembled and packaged for shipping and installation.

The factory is also home to the company's testing area. Shown here are prototypes for and the final designs of Henrybuilt's new stools.

After: The soaring new living and dining space benefits from an abundance of natural light from every side, and they spent a lot of time trying to find the best lighting for the kitchen. The final choice: long, narrow copper pendants from Denmark suspended by ultra thin wires to not disrupt the visual flow of the room.

Rama strikes the final blow against Ravana, aiming Vishnu's bow at his navel, the monster's only weak spot.

...To create the final product: a full-scale mistletoe replica, ready to hang over your doorway or from a tree.

The physical model, like the final installation, is broken down into smaller sections with each section consists of four vertical units.

Bathroom fixtures, lighting, and accessories were installed before the final details and finishings.

From design conception to final construction, the playhouse project took one year to complete.

The final, layered look of the pool and its surroundings—which mitigates a 30-inch drop from house to guesthouse—was completed in 2008.

Finishing touches include a custom chandelier from Cliff Young, and sconces from Artemide. The final result is a modern, opulent, and colorful townhouse for this young family of three.

To say more precisely, something was disturbing it. Before the final version of Grey House there was a pretty banal skeleton with small symmetrical window frames.

The concrete modules were prefabricated off-site and fitted with insulation, electrical sockets and switches, technical rails, and all mechanical connectors before they were transported to the site for final assembly.

The final Work Small Notable Award was given to SmithGroup for the Baker Avenue Asset Management office.

"The design went through several changes to eventually get to the accepted design," says Wendy van Niekerk. "We were very intensely involved from the start of the design to the final design."

“The cabin’s shape is in humble dialogue with the surrounding nature,” says Lüer, who collaborated on the final design with Alejandro Otero. “It is like a tree that only uses what is available to live.”

The client leads an active lifestyle, and the design team had initially planned on putting a climbing wall in one corner of the apartment. While this feature didn’t make it into the final design, there is abundant storage for bikes and ski gear.

The 13,000-square-foot hillside lot offers several Ipe wood decks for entertaining, as well as a 58-foot-long Zero Edge pool with integrated spa. The final result is a streamlined composition of intersecting lines that frame and emphasize the natural environment.

Sustainable strategies were reflected early in the planning stages of the residence. Instead of demolishing the original house, Malcolm Davis and the homeowners opted to carefully dismantle the home in order to salvage lumber and other materials, some of which were repurposed into the final home.

Renée Rossouw, a postgraduate masters student at the European Design Labs in Madrid, created this ceramic set in collaboration with Bosa Ceramics as part of her final project.

All of the cabinets and walls of the Jayco camper were professionally sprayed with Benjamin Moore Simply White to create a crisp, modern look. Steve and Trina then sanded and wiped down the doors, primed them, and used Alkyd satin paint for the final coating.

“The biggest problem was the windows,” says Croxatto. “They could only be installed on days without wind, and as you can see, the main facade doesn’t have a ledge—so they were inserted from the rooftop to their final position. This took many days to complete.”

The building frame was prefabricated in Iowa using steel members and stress-tested SDS lumber—elements left exposed in the final design. A pair of LC1 chairs from Cassina create a seating area off the kitchen.

This Californian she shed was built based on a kit by Everton that arrived with about 85 different components. Once the structure was built, final steps included personalization of the she shed, like paint and flooring selection and installation of curtains and other furniture.

Casteñada explains, “Everything starts with an interview that I personally conduct with the owner in order to understand his lifestyle and expectations. The final result needs to satisfy the owner’s lifestyle, dreams and expectations, as well as my firm’s vision and design concepts.”

The main bedroom was the final piece of the puzzle—a blank slate they could design slowly and intentionally. “It’s the luxury of doing it last,” says Jean. “By then, you actually know how you want to live.”
