Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

I absolutely adore Japanese product designs. Theyre simple, sophisticated and something about them completely warms my heart. They leave an impact on you, and an imprint on your heart, with their soft minimalism. I love incorporating Japanese products in my home space, they have such a soothing effect, and can add an elegant touch to any home. I also enjoy using Japan-inspired kitchen and tableware products! Not only are they adorable to look at and gentle to use, but theyre also high on functionality and very rarely give you any trouble. Theyre foolproof designs that you can depend on to tackle your cooking prep and other kitchen tasks. From portable rice cookers to tableware created from a 400-year-old Japanese wood bending technique, weve got you all covered! Dig in, you can tell us Arigato later!

Designed by Nendo for Hashikura Matsukan, the Rassen (spiral) chopsticks are a pair of chopsticks that come together as a convenient single unit. They look like a solemn long wooden stick, but they can be separated, resulting in a pair of chopsticks that can be used for eating. They pack fun and functionality together, bringing them together and apart is like playing with a jigsaw puzzle! Theartfully designed chopsticks are a beautiful example of quintessential Japanese design philosophy.

The Magemono Tumbler comes made with a Hasamiyaki porcelain inner vessel, and a Magemono Japanese cedar wood sleeve around the outside, in signature fashion. The Magemono Bread Tray, a fir tree crafted thin tray (available in two sizes) is perfect for meals, especially for the breakfast sandwich, paired with a nicely brewed cup of coffee.Nasudas aim is to showcase the untouched perfection of Japanese artisanship, while helping the families of craftsmen to sustain themselves and also pass the art down to younger generations, helping it thrive.

The Dry Mountain Gas Stove has a meditative quality about it, brought about by its inspiration from Japanese and Buddhist landscape gardens. The stoves design is dominated by curved, soft forms that make it appear calming, while also giving you a little extra countertop space, thanks to the rounded edges. The stoves wavy resting plate is one of its strongest visual features. The wave-inspired plate doesnt just provide an allure to the stove, it also makes it easier to clean when youre done, with a cloth and a single swooping action.

The Thanko Electric Bento rice cooker is here to make rice omnipresent literally. This portable cooker will let you cook a bowl of warm rice wherever you are! It is a perfect gadget for those who want to cook a single-serve in a short time and the LED light will glow when it is ready. It is very optimal for those who travel often or want fresh food at the office instead of takeout. The cooker has the capacity to cook 6 ounces of rice at a time and comes with a measuring cup for convenience. Add water, rice (pro tip: salt the water or use chicken broth to up the flavor!), and depending on the ounces it should be cooked between 14 and 20 minutes.

Mitsubishis Bread Oven is in a league of its own with a promise to serve you the perfect toast. Mimicking a waffle maker, the toaster looks like its come straight out of the 80s with its retro-esque veneer brown look. Built with a sealed thermal-insulated structure, it can toast your bread without releasing any moisture, ensuring the bread is soft, fluffy, and far from being dry. The metal box is equipped with two plates that can go up to temperatures as high as 500 degrees Fahrenheit. These plates seal the slice of bread, transferring heat to it, and in turn, make magic. The electric toaster is amped with four cooking settings; Toast, Frozen Toast, Topping, and French Toast.

Seramikku is a perfect balance of archetypal Japanese forms and minimalistic modern details. Its shape and texture are inspired by Uwade kyusu which is one of the more traditional Japanese teapots known for their distinctive, almost floating, handles that hover on top of the lid. The designer has envisioned the Seramikku to be made from ceramic and iron with an electric heating base. Sadly, it is not for sale because it is a concept design which a part of a Render Weekly challenge.

This matcha maker is compact and sleek, making it perfect for homes, offices, any space with an outlet because it is portable. This matcha maker stays true to its Japanese roots and lets you enjoy an authentic cup every time by using freshly ground leaves from its ceramic mill for individual uses, just like the masters do. The movements of the traditional bamboo whisk are replicated by the magnetic whisker that mixes cold water with the tea for a frothy matcha-presso!

The Ishiyaki Set tackles a unique problem associated with being under lockdown missing out on great food. The Ishiyaki Set brings an authentic Japanese dining experience to your home by allowing you to prepare food in the teppanyaki style. Designed as a tabletop stone grill that you can cook your meat on, the Ishiyaki (which literally stands for rock-grill) is a charming little personalized grilling set that lets you experience the fun of dry-searing your food right before you eat it, just like at that Benihana you miss going to.

Theres a certain reverence one feels looking at the S1 Gyuto Knife. It, by no means, is an ordinary kitchen knife but is rather a product of culture, heritage, dedication, and finesse. Crafted by third-generation Osaka master bladesmiths, the S1 Gyuto knife is made from pure black Japanese steel (the same material as Japanese swords) that involves 131 distinct production steps to give you a blade that looks exquisite and is obscenely sharp. Additionally, Hinokis techniques ensure that the knife stays sharp for longer periods of time.

The Foldable Gas Stove Cover Tower by Yamazaki Home converts your stove into storage or workspace!

From the Council on Aging

Meals on Wheels America has announced that the Chatham Council on Aging will receive a second grant to continue its work to assist older veterans with home modification and repair needs.

The COA is one of only eight local aging service agencies across the nation to be selected for the Helping Homebound Heroes project, which is funded by The Home Depot Foundation as part of its mission to improve the homes and lives of our nations veterans.

COA was earlier awarded a grant of $85,000; the new grant, for $100,000, will allow the agency to continue to assist veterans needing repair assistance.

We had great success this past summer and fall assisting 18 veteran households through the Helping Homebound Heroes project, and we welcome the opportunity to further help our countys older veterans remain living safely at home, said Dennis Streets, director of the Council on Aging. We sincerely appreciate The Home Depot Foundation and Meals on Wheels America for making this possible.

Chatham Countys Helping Homebound Heroes project is a joint endeavor among various organizations. The construction work is led by Rebuilding Together of the Triangle.

The Countys Veterans Services Officer and Register of Deeds both have been instrumental, along with others, in identifying veterans who need assistance.

In addition to the home modification and repair work, the Council on Aging has also offered participating veterans other services such as delivery of Meals on Wheels, loaning of assistive equipment and transportation to grocery shopping and medical appointments.

These responses from the veterans, themselves, clearly demonstrate the value of this project.

From a local Korean War Army veteran who had fallen on his uneven brick steps: The work team came in and went about their business (in repairing my home and steps). I couldnt have asked for a better job. Thank you so much for doing all of this.

The Rebuilding Together of the Triangle team also repaired the veterans kitchen cabinet, added a door threshold and made some minor electrical and plumbing repairs.

From the spouse of a Navy veteran dealing with a serious health condition: They did an absolutely incredible job in a short period of time. I cant say enough about how blessed we are for their work.

Rebuilding Together repaired the couples stairs and deck railings and installed one of the biggest ramps they have ever placed on a property.

From husband and wife: We wholeheartedly say thank you for connecting us with Rebuilding Together for the Homebound (Heroes) program. They did wonderful work. Not only does it look beautiful, we both feel 100% safer.

For a Marine veteran, Rebuilding Together repaired steps and constructed a sidewalk over rough terrain.

In completing the 18 projects, Rebuilding Together of the Triangle addressed a wide array of problems that included repair of flooring, roofs, siding, plumbing, electric, storm doors, railings and gutters; installation of walk-in showers, toilets, a kitchen range, insulation, vapor barriers HVAC system and ramps; and much more.

Developed by Kraton Corporation, a Houston-based global manufacturer of specialty polymers and high-value biobased products, the IMSS technology uses ultra-high flow thermoplastic elastomers. Part of the Hydrogenated Styrenic Block Copolymers (HSBC) family, those are used to produce lightweight, ultra-thin leather-like materials for the automotive industry.

Unlike conventional PVC soft skins, these HSBC-based materials allow injection molding, making them easy to apply on various interior panels. They contain no added plasticizer, phthalates, or cross-linking agents and give off less odor than conventional soft skins.

Producing various interior panels using this technology can help automotive interior manufacturers sidestep the expensive, labor-intensive, and energy-consuming slush molding process. That's because the injection molding equipment offers higher efficiency, is cheaper to maintain, and consumes less electrical energy.

Since the early development stages, the IMSS technology has undergone rigorous material and part testing. Kraton representatives state that the soft skins achieved excellent results, which led them to search for suitable partners to use them on mass-produced vehicles.

Kratons first major client is SAIC-GM, a joint venture between General Motors Company and SAIC Motor Corporation Limited that manufactures and sells Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac brand vehicles in mainland China.

This collaboration made the upgraded Buick GL6 the first mass-produced vehicle to feature Kratons revolutionary IMSS technology for its instrument panel.

For those who are curious about the GL6, the MPV is based on a modified version of GMs Delta II architecture and is only available in mainland China in three different trims.

The highlight of the range is the six-seat model, which comes with a 1.3-liter turbocharged straight three along with a standard 48V mild-hybrid system for a combined maximum output of 161 hp (120 kW).

The GL6 also uses Buicks V2X technology that enables vehicles to communicate with one another and the surrounding infrastructure by sending and receiving basic information such as location, speed, braking status, and directions. SAIC-GM states that it will enhance the efficiency of advanced safety features.

Although this technology is nothing new for other markets, Kratons potentially revolutionary IMSS technology is something that we look forward to seeing in the U.S. and Europe.

The first class of 16 students in Peterman Heating, Cooling and Plumbings new training program graduated Jan. 29 and all have started working in the field for the company. (IBJ photo/Eric Learned)

Its a good problem to have, but a problem just the samewhen your company is experiencing explosive growth, how do you hire enough people to keep up?

Greenwood-based Peterman Heating, Cooling and Plumbing Inc. is tackling the challenge through an innovative new in-house training program that is generating interest from both potential students and peer companies nationwide.

The four-month program, called Peterman Top Tech Academy, equips students for careers in either plumbing or heating and air-conditioning repair. Students draw a paycheck while enrolled, and the curriculum includes both technical training and life skills like budgeting and cooking.

Students sign a two-year employment contract, which helps the company ensure that its newly trained employees will stick around once theyve finished their schooling.

Tyler Peterman

The first class launched in October, and those 16 students (nine in heating and air and seven in plumbing) graduated Jan. 29. All began working as Peterman service technicians this week.

A new session of classes began immediately, with a third scheduled to launch in August.

Every three to four months, were going to have new, fresh team members rolling out in the field, said Vice President of Operations Tyler Peterman, who owns the company along with his brother, Chad, and father, Pete. I think where it could take us is endless.

Staffing is an ongoing challenge for the industry and especially for Peterman, which has experienced a serious growth spurt in recent years and landed on IBJs Fast 25 list in 2019 and 2020. The companys revenue, which stood at $10.4million in 2017, swelled to $29million in 2020 and is projected to reach $40million this year.

Peterman has just more than 200 employees, about two-thirds of whom are service technicians; the company estimates it will need to hire 80 to 100 people this year.

We do quite a bit of marketing. Were trying to be out there in front of as many customers as possible, Tyler Peterman said. Sometimes, we have to shut the marketing down because we dont have enough people to do the calls that we have.

Peterman based its curriculum on one developed by Nexstar Network, a St. Paul, Minnesota-based professional organization for residential service companies. Nexstars curriculum was designed as a self-guided study program for technicians looking to upgrade their skills.

Peterman adapted the program, adding in company-specific training such as how to deal with a frustrated homeowner or a rambunctious dog.

These soft skills are important, said President Chad Peterman, because, when technicians are out on service calls, they are the face of the company. Really, our technicians are the conduit to customers knowing who we are and trusting what we do.

Top Tech students also attend workshops on a range of life-skills topics, from healthy cooking and personal finance to handling automotive emergencies like a flat tire or a dead battery.

We just kind of thought, in order to be a fully engaged employee and to give 100% during your work day, you also need to be 100% at home, said Dani Wernert, an executive administrative assistant at Peterman who helped develop the school and oversees its day-to-day operations.

Craig Caldwell, associate dean of graduate and professional programs at Butler Universitys Lacey School of Business, said Petermans approach is a very sophisticated, very forward-thinking solution to the shortage of skilled workers.

Over the years, societys emphasis on college over vocational training has devalued careers in the trades, Caldwell said. Right now, trades generally speaking are still not popular career paths, he said. What Peterman is up to here is, they are going to be their own solution to talent acquisition.

In-house training is the new standard in the service industry, said Julian Scadden, Nexstars president and CEO.

And the approach is generating a lot of interest. Peterman received 600 applicants for the 16 slots in its inaugural class, Wernert said, and the company has also fielded queries from many service companies around the United States who are interested in launching their own training programs.

Numerous factors are fueling the industrys and the companys rapid expansion, Chad Peterman said. For one thing, homes built during the housing boom that led to the Great Recession of 2008-2009 are now at the age where their infrastructure might need repairing or replacing.

And, though investment firms have been snapping up service companies of late, the industry is still composed of many smaller firms and Peterman has been able to pick up market share from some of its competitors.

Perhaps most important, Chad Peterman said he and his brother have made growth and experimentation a priority. When their father, Pete, founded the company in 1986, he never envisioned its growing as large as it has. When Chad Peterman joined in 2011, he was the 21st employee.

When the sons took the reins in 2016, they decided to get aggressive about expansion.

The one thing I love about our organization is, we move fast, Chad Peterman said. Were always looking for a better way to do something.

The company revamped a long-running membership program in 2018, shifting to an auto-pay model and adding perks for customers who pay a monthly membership fee. Enrollment in the program has more than doubled as a result.

Last year, the company established an in-house leadership program. Any employee whos interested can enroll and advance through the program by reading books from Petermans collection or completing selected activities.

The goal of the leadership program, Chad Peterman said, is to develop a pipeline for employees interested in advancement. What we want to provide is a really crystal-clear career path.

A focus on leadership should help the company build the infrastructure needed to handle its explosive growth, Butlers Caldwell said.

It is extraordinary, even in a growing industry, to have growth like this, he said. You have to have a leadership team thats capable of scaling.
