Late 1800s Victorian Bungalow i Central Denver was updated creating an entirely different experience to a young couple who loved to cook and entertain. By opening up two load bearing wall, replacing and refinishing new wood floors with radiant heating, exposing brick and ultimately painting the brick.. the space transformed in a huge open yet warm entertaining haven. Bold color was at the heart of this palette and the homeowners personal essence.

Our introduction to the Tahoe site was in late winter, on a clear sunny day with filtered light and long shadows through snow-laden fir and pine bows. It made a strong impression, stored for future consideration but the impetus for the design came soon after the spring snow melt. A powerful sense of horizontal layering of vegetation and various stages of decomposing downed timber on the two-acre site, juxtaposed with pine and fir trees and the dense canopy of the surrounding forest. The site is located near the historic 1960 Olympic Nordic track, situated on the edge of wetlands and seasonal streams. The homeowners were previous clients and dreamt of having a retreat in the Sierras away from their home base in Berkeley, CA. Among skiers, bike riders, hikers, and boaters, they found the ideal central location for their home base near Lake Tahoe. The home is organized as a series of linked spaces, each providing a unique sensory experience and connection to different parts of the site, both vertically and horizontally. The design includes extensive use of glass to create a true indoor/outdoor connection and maximize natural light. At the center of the site are two large fir trees, which the building respectfully wraps around in an L shape to create a focal point in the landscaped courtyard. A refined, context-driven palette of natural materials including cedar, oak, fir, and steel is used to harmoniously blend in among the surroundings. The construction includes advanced details such as thermally broken steel beams supporting layered roof planes engineered to hold snow rather than shed it. Designed to resist significant load, we exposed the steel structure as a recurring element in the interior spaces. The resulting columns and support beams contribute to the familiar design aspects of each room and provide a better understanding of how the building was constructed. The second floor features cantilevered volumes that reach out into the nearby evergreen limbs, likening the experience to being in a tree house. The house incorporates features such as radiant heating, solar panels, and operable windows for passive cooling. Fire safety measures include the use of naturally fire-resistant materials, a Class A roof construction, sprinklers, and drought-tolerant landscaping beyond the defensible space.

We offer the most comprehensive collection of alternative wood blinds in realistic wood-grain patterns built to withstand heat and humidity. Choose from popular stains, and flat and beveled options, at our exclusive Hunter Douglas showroom.

Eichler X-100 Bedroom: A Private Retreat Defined by Light and Calm The bedrooms of the Eichler X-100 offer a quieter, more intimate expression of the home’s architectural vision—spaces designed for rest, reflection, and connection to light and nature. Conceived by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons for Joseph Eichler, these rooms balance simplicity with thoughtful design in a way that feels both modern and timeless. Minimalism with Purpose The bedrooms are intentionally restrained—free of unnecessary detail—allowing the architecture itself to define the experience. Clean lines, open volumes, and uncluttered surfaces create a sense of calm that feels almost meditative. Every element serves a purpose, reinforcing a lifestyle centered on clarity and ease. Light, Softened and Controlled Unlike the expansive public spaces, the bedrooms receive light in a more subtle way: Skylights filter daylight from above, creating a soft, even glow Carefully placed glazing maintains brightness while preserving privacy Light shifts gently throughout the day, enhancing the room’s tranquil atmosphere This approach transforms light into something quiet and restorative. A Connection to Nature—On Your Terms Even in these more private spaces, the X-100 maintains its connection to the outdoors. Views often extend toward interior gardens or landscaped areas, allowing nature to remain present without sacrificing seclusion. The result is a unique balance: open, yet protected. Integrated Within the Plan Positioned along the home’s central circulation, the bedrooms are seamlessly connected to the rest of the house while still feeling distinctly separate. The layout allows for easy movement, yet maintains a clear transition from public to private zones. There are no long corridors or wasted space—just efficient, intentional design. Comfort Through Design The bedrooms reflect Eichler’s belief that architecture should enhance everyday life. Radiant-heated floors, natural materials, and thoughtful proportions create an environment that is both comfortable and visually refined. It’s a space that supports rest without distraction. A Quiet Expression of Modernism While the X-100 is known for its bold experimentation, the bedrooms reveal a softer side—where modernism becomes personal. These rooms are not about making a statement; they are about creating a sense of peace within a larger architectural vision. In the Eichler X-100, even the most private spaces are designed with intention—proving that great architecture isn’t just experienced in grand gestures, but in the quiet moments of everyday life. image Sabrina Huang

Studio Terrain recreated this outdoor entertaining after a major home extension. Taking advantage of sweeping 180 degree views of the Puget sound, Orca Pods, Humpback whales and the Olympic mountains, the design allows for maximum view corridors from the inside while still providing space for 40+ guests. Utilizing a louvered roof system and overhead heat for four seasons entertaining, the wood fired pizza oven provides a central gathering point year round. The lawn was engineered to the same specs as world class soccer fields providing fast draining lawn use in the wettest seasons. A clean concrete lawn edge is actually a hidden structural retaining wall with pin piles to stabilize the slope edge.

This expansive backyard serves as a family's ultimate entertainment destination. Beginning with the spacious outdoor cabana, complete with a covered spa, it offers a central gathering spot for connectivity. Adjacent to the cabana, the pool provides a refreshing escape from the day's heat. To the right, a sprawling lawn offers ample space for activities from morning until night. Additionally, children can enjoy themselves with the basketball court and play structure conveniently situated along the property line. Designed with large gatherings in mind, this space promises endless enjoyment for all.
