“Best of Houzz 2013” Awards: Thank You Clients!

badge_7_2We are honored to announce that for the second straight year, Haddad Hakansson has been selected for a “Best of Houzz” award.

The “Best of Houzz 2013” awards were granted in two categories: “Design” and “Customer Satisfaction.” This year’s award was given in the “Customer Satisfaction” category and was based on a variety of factors, including ratings and reviews by Houzz’s 11 million monthly users.

Here is a sample of what our clients had to say about us on Houzz in 2012:

“My experience working with a handful of other designers on kitchen and bath renovations helped me realize just how outstanding Haddad Hakansson designers are. They earned 5 stars with professionalism, exciting and fresh ideas, color expertise, and attention to schedule and budget constraints. I won’t work with anyone else.”

  • Houzz user Joanna K., Client

“I found them to really listen to my “wish list” and was very impressed in how they creatively included them all into a very small space.  They were a delight to work with and made a very stressful project an enjoyable one with their attention to detail and quick response to all my changes. 

I would highly recommend Mark & Kurt to anyone with design needs.”

  • Houzz user gmsassoc, Client

Interior PhotosHaddad Hakansson’s 2012 award was given in the “Design” category, and was based on the number of images added to Houzz users’ “ideabooks.” Fewer than 1 percent of the 32,597 interior design professionals profiled on Houzz have won “Best of Houzz” awards in both 2012 and 2013.

Veranda Tranquility

This beautiful property is perched on the hills overlooking Magen’s Bay.

Magen's Bay

In addition to restoring the house, significant improvements in landscaping were needed.  Damage from a hurricane a few years ago, combined with a lack of consistent maintenance, left the surrounding gardens barren in spots and overgrown in others.  Our team of landscapers took to the jungle, taming the overgrowth and at the same time filling in the gaping holes.  The result is a lush tranquil veranda.  Cooling breezes flow through this outdoor living room making it the prefect place to start or finish the day.

Dining Room

Dining Room - Before

Dining Room - After

The dining room had more bookcases lining the walls.  We took them out to open up the room for entertaining and used a round extension table where 8 can dine comfortably.  We kept the built-in server on the back wall but had it painted white to match all of the trim.  We also added a chandelier over the table and made a dark cramped dining room, bright and spacious. The same red fabric used for the sofas was used on the dining chairs carrying over that splash of saturated color.

Living Room

Here we are inside the living room.  The interior ceilings were all dark mahogany.  While the wood itself was beautiful the dark ceilings closed in the rooms.  The interior floors in all the rooms were an uninteresting worn out ceramic tile.  We had them all removed and replaced with polished marble.  The ceilings were painted white and a second ceiling fan was added.  The wall of bookcases took up  too much space so we had them taken out allowing for a spacious living room..  From dark and crowded to light and spacious.

The home owner didn’t want to go with a cliche West Indies decor.  Instead we mixed a few West Indian pieces in with more contemporary furniture,  and used saturated bold red textiles against coral colored walls.  The impact is dramatic.
