MEA - Novato Residence
http://www.markenglisharchitects.com/dirickson1.html#

Novato Residence Novato, California Located in Sonoma County in the heart of California wine country, this early 1960's ranch-style tract house lacked all distinction and character. The lot is very small with no pleasing nearby views. Our clients are both employed in the wine industry and are enthusiastic entertainers and cooks. Our solution was to work within the existing shell of the building, finding ways to reconfigure the existing space rather than expand the footprint. We removed all interior walls in the public areas of the house, as well as the attic space. The result is a spacious warm modern living space composed around a freestanding pizza oven. The remodeled home opens up to a series of new outdoor "rooms" featuring a swimming pool, terraces and fountain. Fountain

this accent wall
This deck probably didn't need the yellow wall to be fantastic, but it adds an element of Miami-style fun.

These pops of bright color and the blocky geometry recalls the work of Luis Barragan.

Waterfall
This color combination is just dreamy. Bright yellow is emboldened by baby blue, making a fun and modern patio.

yellow is amazing - brings cheer any spot
Bold colors and material selections create a feeling of warmth and connection between inside and out, while the fountain provides “white noise” to eliminate the sound of nearby traffic. There is a liberal use of natural finish materials, including slate, copper, plaster, cast concrete counters and wood veneers.
This has a look that reminds me of one of my favorite designers, Luis Barragan. Don't forget to bring the bold outside.
