This is one of the livingrooms, there is the option to close this to the outdoors and turn on the airconditioning. This is also the access to the master suite. I was asked to do full photographic coverage of this private villa for future rentals. From the wide shots and views to the details and smaller spaces, the interiors and exteriors of this beautiful villa are represented.

This primary suite is truly a private retreat. We were able to create a variety of zones in this suite to allow room for a good night’s sleep, reading by a roaring fire, or catching up on correspondence. The fireplace became the real focal point in this suite. Wrapped in herringbone whitewashed wood planks and accented with a dark stone hearth and wood mantle, we can’t take our eyes off this beauty. With its own private deck and access to the backyard, there is really no reason to ever leave this little sanctuary.

A central full service elevator allows for easy access between floors. This open plan infuses each room with light and views of the Pacific Ocean up and down the coast. For entertaining, large glass panels facing the view can recede completely to make a seamless transition between the outside living space and the interior.

Photographer: Ashley Avila Photography Tucked inside a wooded lot, the Portside features an exterior rich with low rooflines, paired porch columns, and private motor court. Organized around the kitchen, the homes major public spaces, feature plenty of access to a shaded southern exposure. Buffered by a half bath and laundry room, the Master Suite is a quiet retreat complete with a pair of walk in closets, tiled bathroom with curbless shower, and a private sitting room. The open floor plan visually connects the dining, living, den, and open stairwell back to the expansive kitchen island. A trip downstairs quickly reveals the many activities the client’s passion for entertainment. The real showstopper is the lower level refreshment area. Made from a repurposed bow of a vintage Chris-Craft boat, this wet bar, is flanked by a pair of pub height stools and is sheltered above by the ceiling from a 1963 Chris-Craft yacht. Anchoring the upstairs is a spacious craft center organized around a large island flanked on three sides by custom cabinetry.

This exciting contemporary design is sure to please with its varied finishes, roof lines, and layout. Inside, the foyer, stairs, and living room are topped with a sloped ceiling. An abundance of windows allow natural light into the common areas adding to the already open feeling created by the ceiling details. A guest suite is located just off the large kitchen for privacy and flexibility. The master suite is spacious and come with access to a private balcony.

The Main Stay House exists as a straightforward proposal on an urban infill lot, paring down the components of a house to a minimal amount of planes and openings. The scheme is anchored by a modern entry sequence and a staircase volume, both clad in iron spot masonry externally and internally, creating thresholds between the respective realms of public, common and private, by minimal means. The masonry contrasts with an otherwise muted interior atmosphere of smooth, desaturated surfaces. The entry sequence is a twist upon the conventional domestic front door, front facade, and fence. The front masonry wall replaces the typical residential fence and frames an indirect access to the front door, functioning as a privacy barrier while revealing slices of the interior to the public street. The staircase bifurcates the layout to provide a clear division between the common and private zones of the house, while clearly reading as a mass from all outside view. Brick and glass become portals between common and private zones. The design consolidates the service core along the west façade, allowing the structure to fully open the living zone to the pool court and existing trees. This directly connects interior and exterior, as well as human and nature. Freedom to vary the program or functional use of the area is enabled and strongly encouraged.

This Australian-inspired new construction was a successful collaboration between homeowner, architect, designer and builder.

Following the recession, the city saw a surge in people moving into the Southtown district of downtown San Antonio, buying old run-down homes and snatching up vacant lots. One such lot in the Lavaca neighborhood is the site for this brand new two-story traditional house, designed to complement the surrounding neighborhood vernacular through the use of a simple profile and traditional materials. The home maximizes it's northern views of downtown by providing a covered porch with a balcony above for star gazing and viewing downtown fireworks. The light and airy main floor of the house features an open floor plan and a private master suite. A detached garage and studio fill the back of the lot, accessed by a decomposed granite driveway and low-maintenance landscaping.

This Cobble Hill Brownstone for a family of five is a fun and captivating design, the perfect blend of the wife’s love of English country style and the husband’s preference for modern. The young power couple, her the co-founder of Maisonette and him an investor, have three children and a dog, requiring that all the surfaces, finishes and, materials used throughout the home are both beautiful and durable to make every room a carefree space the whole family can enjoy. The primary design challenge for this project was creating both distinct places for the family to live their day to day lives and also a whole floor dedicated to formal entertainment. The clients entertain large dinners on a monthly basis as part of their profession. We solved this by adding an extension on the Garden and Parlor levels. This allowed the Garden level to function as the daily family operations center and the Parlor level to be party central. The kitchen on the garden level is large enough to dine in and accommodate a large catering crew. On the parlor level, we created a large double parlor in the front of the house; this space is dedicated to cocktail hour and after-dinner drinks. The rear of the parlor is a spacious formal dining room that can seat up to 14 guests. The middle "library" space contains a bar and facilitates access to both the front and rear rooms; in this way, it can double as a staging area for the parties. The remaining three floors are sleeping quarters for the family and frequent out of town guests. Designing a row house for private and public functions programmatically returns the building to a configuration in line with its original design. This project was published in Architectural Digest.
