This lovely couple just moved to del mar and wanted to update their existing landscaping, they wanted to make their slope more usable and have some curb appeal. We transformed their slope into a small grove by building some wood terraces with a staircase so that way they can easily access their new fruit trees. The client also wanted a small office for them to be able to work from home, we were able to do that for them by mimicking the color and aesthetics of their residence but on a smaller scale. They also wanted to have some shade covering in their backyard and we designed this stunning cantilever so that way they can enjoy their backyard all year long! Overall the couple was left very happy and are now enjoying their newly revamped backyard.

The canopy fabric is made with a Sunbrella® outdoor acrylic fabric which is extremely resistant to moisture and colorfast against sunlight.

Tucked away in the backwoods of Torch Lake, this home marries “rustic” with the sleek elegance of modern. The combination of wood, stone and metal textures embrace the charm of a classic farmhouse. Although this is not your average farmhouse. The home is outfitted with a high performing system that seamlessly works with the design and architecture. The tall ceilings and windows allow ample natural light into the main room. Spire Integrated Systems installed Lutron QS Wireless motorized shades paired with Hartmann & Forbes windowcovers to offer privacy and block harsh light. The custom 18′ windowcover’s woven natural fabric complements the organic esthetics of the room. The shades are artfully concealed in the millwork when not in use. Spire installed B&W in-ceiling speakers and Sonance invisible in-wall speakers to deliver ambient music that emanates throughout the space with no visual footprint. Spire also installed a Sonance Landscape Audio System so the homeowner can enjoy music outside. Each system is easily controlled using Savant. Spire personalized the settings to the homeowner’s preference making controlling the home efficient and convenient.

Down-to-studs remodel and second floor addition. The original house was a simple plain ranch house with a layout that didn’t function well for the family. We changed the house to a contemporary Mediterranean with an eclectic mix of details. Space was limited by City Planning requirements so an important aspect of the design was to optimize every bit of space, both inside and outside. The living space extends out to functional places in the back and front yards: a private shaded back yard and a sunny seating area in the front yard off the kitchen where neighbors can easily mingle with the family. A Japanese bath off the master bedroom upstairs overlooks a private roof deck which is screened from neighbors’ views by a trellis with plants growing from planter boxes and with lanterns hanging from a trellis above.

This hedge of bamboo was planted using a 30" deep rhizome barrier surrounding the bamboo. We used a backhoe to dig the pit then line it with the barrier, backfill and plant. Individual canes that get to tall can be easily removed if they block the view. all photos by John Stuart Leslie
