This area now belongs to the view from the home, rather than to the neighborhood. Landscape Design and pictures by Ben Bowen of Ross NW Watergardens
This is an example of a small mid-century modern full sun courtyard stone formal garden in Portland.

A bachelor pad Bruce Wayne would approve of, this 1,000 square-foot Yaletown property belonging to a successful inventor-entrepreneur was to be soiree central for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. A concept juxtaposing rawness with sophistication was agreed on, morphing what was an average two bedroom in its previous life to a loft with concrete floors and brick walls revealed and complemented with gloss, walnut, chrome and Corian. All the manly bells and whistle are built-in too, including Control4 smart home automation, custom beer trough and acoustical features to prevent party noise from reaching the neighbours.

We needed to update the dining room too as it breached the space between the already updated living room and the new kitchen. If we hadn't updated it, it would feel like a forgotten space and that it didn't belong in the home.

Incorporating architectural design elements such as this herringbone ceiling, custom hood and range, wood floor, and custom backsplash create the perfect kitchen.

A beautiful antique console table was integrated into the design of the kitchen island to create a coffee bar with custom shelving to display the client's pottery collection.

This kitchen now belongs to the owners of a Costa Mesa home. Complete kitchen remodel by the design team at Builder Boy. Cabinets produced by Cabinet Boy, a division of Builder Boy, Inc.

Innovative Design Build was hired to remodel an existing fireplace in a single family home in Boca Raton, Florida. We were not to change the footprint of the fireplace or to replace the fire box. Our design brought this outdated dark bulky fireplace that looked like it belonged in a log cabin, into 2020 with a modern sleeker design. We replaced the whole surround including the hearth and mantle, as well as painted the side walls. The clients, who prefer a more coastal design, loved the traditional brick pattern for the surround, so we used creamy colors in a multi format design to give it a lot of texture. Then we chose a beautiful porcelain slab that was cut using mitered edges for a seamless look. We then stained a custom mantle to match other wood tones in their home tying it into the surrounding furniture. Finally we painted the walls in a lighter greige tone to compliment the newly remodeled fireplace. This project was finished in under a month, just in time for the clients to enjoy the Christmas holiday.

Family room - modern open concept family room idea in Los Angeles

The formal living room retained custom built-in cabinets. The floors were stained to seamlessly flow with the light maple bookcases. In addition to the grand piano, we selected a contemporary sofa and two leather armchairs with exposed wood arms. The iron glass table belonged to our clients.

This grand entryway certainly caught our eye -- the double doors, wood flooring, chandelier and custom ceiling belong on the cover of an architectural digest magazine.
