The Cave Wine Bar & Grille
Converting a building that was built in Alaska before Alaska was a state into an classic lodge style eatery was a unique and challenging endeavor. These challenges resulted in the areas premier restaurant
The clients had a chance to acquire a crumbling antique structure that was built in 1945. In doing so they saw the opportunity to, once again better the community, and in the process live out a life long dream. The owners of E&G Properties have always had a passion for eating in new restaurants, trying different foods and sampling wines from around the world. The always saw a need in the area for good food and even better ambiance. So when this opportunity arose they took it, and 1 year later, with the help of the Kingstone Company LLC, they have opened the doors to The Cave Wine Bar and Grille.
We at the Kingstone Company are always excited to partake in a project that will breathe new life into the community. The restaurant design and the parent project, Hometown square, have done just that. Hometown square is now the epicenter of the area, with its warm and inviting design it beckons to the passers-by to stop and spend some time. The Cave is located on the south end of the mall and welcomes you with a separate family dining area and an area set aside to sample wines and spirits from around the world.
The entire design is ADA compliant and has a fully certified DEC approved gourmet kitchen, all while incorporating the rustic appeal of rugged Alaska, with the fine dining adding refinement to the alaskan ambiance. Designing this one of a kind restaurant was a team effort and relied heavily on the day to day collaboration of designer, owner and contractors. In the end the result is the best place in town to sit, eat and relax. If your in the area stop in and see the un matched quality of The Kingstone Company LLC design and enjoy the alaskan atmosphere.

The Sheen Residence
This project started when the client contacted The Kingstone Company LLC and wanted to build a cabin on a piece of riverfront property he had owned for years. The client came in to the office with a basic idea of what he wanted and a basic floor plan. This is very typical of initial meetings. By the second meeting The Kingstone Company LLC had developed a conceptual design. The client could not have been happier, it far exceeded the floor plans they had brought in on that initial meeting. This is the result of that initial meeting.
Aside from the sweeping river view this residence will boast, a masonry heater, a hybrid frame timber structure with exposed timbers and an energy efficient design with The Kingstone Company LLC signature remote wall framing. This project is now completed the construction documents phase and now entering the building phase with a anticipated move-in date of December 2014.

Pinkelman Walk-in Closet
The project is now under way. We have finished the rough carpentry of the closet and now the cabinetry is ready for installation. The Pinkelman live in a beautiful custom log home with sweeping views of the Alaska mountains. In this project we wanted to keep the rustic look of a Alaskan log cabin while integrating accents of modern life. One way we are achieving this is incorporating some reclaimed wood for the counters in the closet and bathroom vanity. The homeowner Wes has had a cattle ranch in his family for generations. Many years ago the family disassembled an old barn to build another. As is the custom among ranches and farms they saved the wood from the old barn for future use on something else around the property. (I don't think they ever dreamed it would be used for this...) Before the project began we uncover some of this barn wood to see if we might be able to salvage any of it. after digging it out from under piles of snow we, in sub-zero temperatures, we were pleasantly surprised to see a good portion was salvageable. After acclimating the barn wood for many weeks we finally began to reshape the wood for its new purpose ...counters.

The Lene Residence addition
The Lene family is quickly outgrowing their modest home of 1000sqft, as the family is expected to expand by two. So this means they were in the market for some sizable upgrades. The Lene's had dreamed of what kind of home they would want to raise their children in, and the Kingstone Company LLC has made that dream a reality. After meeting and discussing options they decided it was best to move ahead with an addition and remodel for their current living space. This project has finished the conceptual design phase and a cost analysis.

The Campbell Residence
The Campbell's are a young professional couple living in the Anchorage area. They recently had the opportunity to purchase the last remaining lot in a prestigious anchorage suburb. They contacted the Kingstone Company LLC with a very unique situation. The lot they had purchased was a sizable one, but long and narrow. In addition, all the homes in the subdivision are on pilings due to several feet of peat moss. The Campbell's were partial to the farmhouse style but weren't sure on how to configure their dream home on the existing lot dimensions. This is where the Kingstone company LLC came in. After the initial sit down meeting with the Campbell's, the Lead designer began the design process. The Completed Home above is the result of that initial meeting...
"I can't believe it! Its like you read our minds, its exactly what we want!"
-Mrs. Campbell at the second meeting.
The construction documents have been approved by the city of Anchorage municipal department, and now the construction has started! This project is now under construction with a estimated move-in date of May 2014

Hometown Square
The Kingstone Company LLC also provides architectural services for light commercial projects as well. This project is a total renovation to an existing concrete building built back in 1954. One of the first stores in the town of Delta Junction, this shopping center was originally called Deihl's shopping center after the proprietors. It was recently purchased by the owner of the local grocery store. The building itself was in serious disrepair and in need of substantial structural and cosmetic alterations. In order to move ahead with the renovations, first, a set of approved construction documents would need to be produces. Since this is a commercial building the state fire inspector would have to approve certain aspects of the building. This is where the Kingstone Company LLC came in. We designed a code compliant building, while addressing and meeting all the owners needs and wants. The new building boasts all LED lighting and is completely ADA accessible including a full service restaurant and 6 retail spaces.
