The client asked us to create a low maintenance, highly functional front entry to this beachfront retreat. As with most beach homes, guest parking is critical and creating an easy to navigate parking area is paramount to design success. We chose to maximize the front yard without turning it into a parking lot. Native crushed stone parking pads surrounded by sun loving, drought tolerant plants create exactly what the client was looking for.

Sophisticated glass-enclosed wine cellar serves as a luxurious focal point for a modern lower-level entertainment suite. The temperature-controlled room features sleek black steel-framed French doors and minimalist metal racking that allows the collection to double as a visual art piece. Clean white tray ceiling with integrated LED lighting and polished white tile flooring with a decorative mosaic border finish the high-end feel to the space.

A family with five energetic kids and a rambling new bloodhound pooch needed a better connection to the outdoors in their terraced hillside home, overlooking the historic Mountain View Cemetery. The steep and disconnected terraces made life outdoors feel miles away. The clients expressed to us that when they thought about going outside, they often didn’t. Now, more functional stairs with generous pauses make a multi-story journey to the backyard easy to do every day. And their tall house and hillside are more integrated with playful twists, turns, and swings that invite the kids (and pup) out to play.

Our custom stairs are hand crafted from the frame to the pour of the concrete. The stairs shown are wonderful for a front entrance to a home and provide years of beautiful craftsmanship.
