Glant drapes in St. Barts in lime are the perfect window treatment for this living room. Their bright and sunny hue is reimagined in the wallpaper of the adjacent office space. A white doorway connects the two spaces and allows for the pop of green to peek through from the office and connect with the corresponding tones in the living room.

Stunningly beautiful, organic and industrial at the same time, the Solas table lamp by Windsor Smith for Boyd Lighting is marvel of construction. 65 hexagonal plates twist on axis and allow light to "leak" from the resultant holes in the faceted base. A three-way switch allows you to light just the shade, both the base and the shade or just the base for a twinkly night light effect. Available in five metal finish options.

The custom built ins anchor the fireplace, and add light and storage. The double cocktail tables and sofas allow for a great entertaining space w/friends and family.

A custom wood range hood over high sheen tile highlights one wall while windows flanked with glass upper cabinets house the return wall. Large scale lanterns hang from the coffered ceiling and a peninsula allows for dining just beyond the kitchen.

This coastal living home boasts a seamless transition from the interior to the exterior, truly creating a spectacular beach home. The endless breezy ocean views from every level are only outdone by the one of a kind pool that allows the owners to have a backyard or a pool at the push of a button. The custom fixtures, kitchen, and endless designed spaces are bar none. This house is truly one of a kind in all of the South Bay.

We mixed two painted cabinet finishes, three countertop surfaces, and two backsplash tile designs to create this kitchen. Dekton - an ultra-compact porcelain surface from Cosentino - was installed at the island to allow for worry-free and low maintenance baking and prep work. The rustic wood barn door at the right allows access to the pantry while guests remain seated at the island.

The Control/Shift House is perched on the high side of the site which takes advantage of the view to the southeast. A gradual descending path navigates the change in terrain from the street to the entry of the house. A series of low retaining walls/planter beds gather and release the earth upon the descent resulting in a fairly flat level for the house to sit on the top one third of the site. The entry axis is aligned with the celebrated stair volume and then re-centers on the actual entry axis once you approach the forecourt of the house. The initial desire was for an “H” scheme house with common entertaining spaces bridging the gap between the more private spaces. After an investigation considering the site, program, and view, a key move was made: unfold the east wing of the “H” scheme to open all rooms to the southeast view resulting in a “T” scheme. The new derivation allows for both a swim pool which is on axis with the entry and main gathering space and a lap pool which occurs on the cross axis extending along the lengthy edge of the master suite, providing direct access for morning exercise and a view of the water throughout the day. The Control/Shift House was derived from a clever way of following the “rules.” Strict HOA guidelines required very specific exterior massing restrictions which limits the lengths of unbroken elevations and promotes varying sizes of masses. The solution most often used in this neighborhood is one of addition - an aggregation of masses and program randomly attached to the inner core of the house which often results in a parasitic plan. The approach taken with the Control/Shift House was to push and pull program/massing to delineate and define the layout of the house. Massing is intentional and reiterated by the careful selection of materiality that tracks through the house. Voids and relief in the plan are a natural result of this method and allow for light and air to circulate throughout every space of the house, even into the most inner core.
