When designing this home, we wanted to create an entertainers dream. The home is located in the heart of Rancho Mirage which attracts people from all over the world. This home sits on an acre and is on a private golf course. This view shows the grand circular driveway entrance which is surrounded by an enormous fountain, a central water feature with basalt columns and a glass bridge that leads to the front door. It is ultimately private, has 7 bedrooms, eight baths, and 360 degree views. We worked with an internationally renowned architect to design the home, selected all the interior and exterior hard surfaces, and furnished the interior.

We designed this beautiful cedar shake home with a metal roof and oyster shell embedded tabby fireplace. The pool is the heart of this home! The glass roll up garage door brings the outside in, and allows for entertaining to flow freely. Lots of outdoor space for lounging and soaking up the sun. An extra living space above the 3 car garage, including a kitchen area, enables guests to visit while providing access to some of the creature comforts of home. The crowning touch is the cupolas that allows for a 360 degree view, including spectacular views of the ocean.

Lagoon-side property in the Bel Marin Keys, Novato, CA. Entertaining and enjoying the views were a primary design goal for this project along with replacing the lawn with CA native and low water plants and a total renovation. The project includes a large camaru deck with built-in seating. The concrete steps and pavers lead down to the water's edge. I included a sunken patio on one side and a beautiful Buddha statue on the other, surrounded by succulents and other low-water, contemporary plantings. I also used Dymondia ground cover to create a natural pathways within the garden. Photo: © Eileen Kelly, Dig Your Garden Landscape Design. Design Eileen Kelly

Attractive living as an architectural experiment: a 136-year-old water tower, a listed building with a spectacular 360-degree panorama view over the City of London. The task, to transform it into a superior residence, initially seemed an absolute impossibility. But when the owners came across architect Mike Collier, they had found a partner who was to make the impossible possible. The tower, which had been empty for decades, underwent radical renovation work and was extended by a four-storey cube containing kitchen, dining and living room - connected by glazed tunnels and a lift shaft. The kitchen, realised by Enclosure Interiors in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, with furniture from LEICHT is the very heart of living in this new building. Shiny white matt-lacquered kitchen fronts (AVANCE-LR), tone-on-tone with the worktops, reflect the light in the room and thus create expanse and openness. The surface of the handle-less kitchen fronts has a horizontal relief embossing; depending on the light incidence, this results in a vitally structured surface. The free-standing preparation isle with its vertical side panels with a seamlessly integrated sink represents the transition between kitchen and living room. The fronts of the floor units facing the dining table were extended to the floor to do away with the plinth typical of most kitchens. Ceiling-high tall units on the wall provide plenty of storage space; the electrical appliances are integrated here invisible to the eye. Floor units on a high plinth which thus appear to be floating form the actual cooking centre within the kitchen, attached to the wall. A range of handle-less wall units concludes the glazed niche at the top. LEICHT international: “Architecture and kitchen” in the centre of London. www.LeichtUSA.com

Single-family residence with a combination of wood and steel for both structural elements and cladding. The clean A-frame structure of the house and flat roof garage are clad with corrugated Cor-Ten on the exterior with Larch wood paneling on walls and soffits that provide continuity between interiors and exteriors at openings in the envelope. A large concrete chimney projects from the foundations through the center of the house, serving as a centerpiece of design while separating public and private spaces. Exterior decks, outdoor terraces, and large expanses of floor-to-ceiling custom-manufactured windows take advantage of the stunning 360-degree views on-site. Interior details and site features will include a potting shed structure and garden/orchard area, bocce ball court, water features, outdoor terraces, a fire pit, and an outdoor kitchen with fireplace.

Petite enough to fit on small balconies, but big on comfort, the Crest outdoor chair creates the perfect spot to lounge. A hidden swivel base lets you enjoy a 360-degree view, while durable Sunbrella® fabric looks great season after season. The attached seat cushion stays put in the wind.

This is the ultimate retirement home for this couple. With a 360 degree view they have every thing! They wanted it to express sustainability, water conservation and good looks. This garden features several dry stream beds, raised corrugated steel grow boxes, fire pit, pergola, three different path way materials, patio and many water wise perennials, ornamental grass and ground covers. The wind is always blowing their ornamental grasses! Rick Laughlin, APLD
