MEB Architects Ltd - "The Barn" custom 5 car garage. MEB Architects was commissioned to design a single family home and detached garage on 20 acres in Long Grove. Surrounded by the natural setting of the adjacent conservation district we recalled the simple forms & materials of Midwestern farms. With the client’s love of French Country sensibilities, the combination led to an eclectic design of pure American and European architecture. The four car detached garage or “barn” was designed and constructed first with the “main house” to complete the setting later. The main house and barn are all the more remarkable by the juxtaposition of reclaimed antique materials and new building technologies – the exposed antique barn wood, milk ventilators, and corrugated galvanized metal roofing are the veneer for the environmentally friendly prefabricated energy efficient THERMOCORE panels. The house is now under construction

The formal dining room features an illuminated tiered wooden ceiling, glass "boats" of light floating in space and an area rug that mirrors the palette of the large artwork surrounding the room.

Elegant and luxurious living room design in Silverleaf, North Scottsdale. Rich black and soft cream hues are repeated throughout this European-inspired living and dining room. The elegant window treatments unite floral and stripe fabrics and mirror the eyebrow arch leading to the dining room. The fireplace wall is anchored by an eye-catching commissioned art piece. Lush furniture, finishes and accessories in ebony and cream join to complete the European look.

The grand entryway makes a dramatic first impression, drawing the eye upwards to the soaring wood-paneled ceiling and a cascading chandelier of hand-blown European glass pendants. The warm glow of the light fixtures illuminates a curated collection of commissioned artwork, adding a touch of sophistication and personality to the space. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the entry in natural light, showcasing the stunning views beyond and highlighting the intricate details of the custom metal railing that gracefully curves along the elegant staircase. The combination of natural materials, artistic elements, and architectural details creates a sense of refined luxury and effortless style.

Serving as a weekend getaway dwelling, these clients opted for a comfortable contemporary aesthetic. “Citified with a bit of glamour” was our mantra. To contrast the linear aspects of the great room and to provide both internal and external views, a large irregularly-shaped sectional was employed. It was paired with two iconic Mario Bellini lounge chairs that provide an elegant air to the space, all anchored by a 20’ round wool rug. A hint of European sensibility is revealed with the use of bespoke lighting. Multi-globe ceiling fixtures crown the great room, while individual pendants adorn the split dining table. The custom dining table top became a true piece of art: a laser-cut brass panel with a map of the client’s Northern California hometown speaks to his passion for maps and adds dimension and interest to this table. The entryway features a bronze, stainless steel, and wood console against a backdrop of precious stone. A bold bronze sculpture in the great room draws the eye to the glass and beyond. The walls and ceilings were given a faux finish of metallic woven, grass-cloth type texture, bringing an element of glamour and drama. In the master bedroom an art piece was commissioned to hang above the bed, blending a lifetime of poems, photographs, and song lyrics into a visual representation of a classic love story. Adjacent to this art piece is a full-size print of the client’s own photography work, backlit and custom-framed to add personality to a room full of exquisite art. A collection of outstanding pieces, that would make any art collector proud, complete this couple’s favorite weekend getaway with stunning city views. Photo Credit: David Duncan Livingston

Designing the best modern garage doors is just the beginning. Dynamic Garage Door takes fine garage door design to the next level by providing exceptional door quality that will last a lifetime. Contact our Design & Manufacturing Center: (855) 343-3667 When we approach a new project for our garage doors and/or gates we like to spend time with our clients to understand their current envisioned style and to collaborate on improving on their ideal or producing what others can't seem to accomplish. This garage door and gate were designed to parallel the home's horizontal linear siding which was an accent wall the owner wrapped to add interest, depth and contrast to the once Mid Century ranch style house. He envisioned a modern home that stayed true to its unique style without throwing an out of balance project that would otherwise have turned outrageously huge. Dynamic Garage Door was commissioned to handcraft the garage door and gates around the property out of composite materials to incorporate the owner's ideal of building green. The challenge with composite materials is that it is human nature to rely on the natural beauty of wood to soften modern materials such as steel, rock and harsher surfaces. Dynamic Garage Door has in-house artists that use high quality painting products and trade secret techniques to give our clients the best of both worlds. Our modern garage doors offer modern design and usability while radiating that warm energy that radiates throughout a home in absence of real solid wood. Dynamic Garage Door has design and manufacturing options that make our garage doors different to the rest!
