This project features a sleek, rectangular lap-style pool designed for both fitness and relaxation. The pool's crisp, light-toned coping perfectly frames the deep, inviting blue mosaic tile interior. A spacious tanning ledge is integrated at one end, featuring elegant in-pool loungers and a centralized umbrella for shaded indulgence. The visual and auditory focal point is the raised water feature wall, which is clad in shimmering, deep blue mosaic tile and topped with light coping. This wall introduces a dramatic sheer descent waterfall that cascades into the water, flanked by two sophisticated fire bowls resting on matching pedestals. These bowls offer both the warmth of fire and the mesmerizing shimmer of water, especially against the backdrop of the surrounding landscape. Adjacent to the pool, the expansive, textured decking seamlessly connects the water to an outdoor living area. This space includes a covered patio with a dining or sitting area and a dedicated outdoor kitchen under a wooden pergola, complete with stainless steel appliances and grilling stations. The entire design is oriented toward the unobstructed views of the open landscape, creating a cohesive, high-end environment perfect for both grand entertaining and tranquil personal use.

This Medina garage condo remodel combines the best of old and new. Our client wanted to incorporate a vintage gas pump, so we created a design with a unique retro-style “gas station” for the lower half of the garage. Integrated brick acts as the exterior of the “gas station” as well as a wall between each room. Upstairs, you’ll notice a more modern design, with cable handrail features in the overlook, working as a “window” into the lower level. The loft provides a beautiful kitchen with modern farmhouse touches, including an island with shiplap details, custom cabinetry, and rustic lighting fixtures. The goal of this loft was to create a great space for entertaining, which is made evident by the great island and overlook bar incorporated into the railing. By extending the facade of the gas station to the ceiling, the Gonyea Transformations team created a great entertainment nook and privacy wall to form a relaxed environment in the upper-level loft. About the AutoMotorPlex The Medina AutoMotorPlex is a 160-unit garage condominium complex just off of Highway 55 and Arrowhead Drive. This unique concept provides an opportunity for car enthusiasts and like-minded individuals to own a private garage which they can personalize and showcase their collector cars or luxury vehicles. It also provides a unique community for people who share a passion for motorsports—or anything that has an engine—with hosted events throughout the year. With a variety of garage sizes within the AutoMotorPlex, the garage condos have one thing in common, they start out as empty shells, waiting for new owners to envision a space to showcase their prized possessions and entertain family, friends, and clients.

Designed and realized by WL3 Designs, The Albero Respite is a paradigm of contemporary minimalist architecture, where serene simplicity meets functional elegance. Named after the Italian word for 'tree', the home pays homage to the solitary olive tree gracing its courtyard, symbolizing peace and resilience. This single-story structure emerges from the landscape with clean lines and expansive glass facades that dissolve the barriers between indoor space and the natural world outside. White, the dominant hue, serves not just as a design choice but as a canvas for the play of light and shadow, changing with the sun’s whims. WL3 Designs has meticulously crafted each element of The Albero Respite to embody the principles of sustainable design while providing a haven of tranquility. The home's orientation and glazing are engineered to optimize natural light and promote passive heating and cooling, reducing the need for artificial climate control. It stands as a testament to the possibility of living in harmony with nature without forgoing modern luxury and comfort. Designing for the desert requires in-depth understanding of the extreme temperatures that range here. From freezing temperatures in the winter to blistering hot ones in the summer, the region contains every extreme, and the homes that are built in it must also. Rains and wind, endless sunshine, these are all elements that we considered when designing for this region. In addition to using modern strategies, we referred to ancient design concepts embraced by native people for generations, combining the two to create modern homes in this timeless, desert environment.

Bookmatched Luxury Kitchen Countertop with Full Height Backsplash – Dekton Laurent 2 cm Vein Match Installation | Absolute GM LLC This luxury kitchen project features a Dekton Laurent 2 cm countertop with full height backsplash, executed with precision vein-matched alignment to achieve continuous visual flow and architectural consistency. The dark base and gold veining of Dekton Laurent are carefully oriented during fabrication to maintain directional continuity across the countertop surface and extend seamlessly into the vertical backsplash transition. This controlled layout creates a unified bookmatched effect, where the natural pattern reads as a single continuous surface without visual interruption. Precision digital templating and CNC fabrication were used to control slab sequencing, seam placement, and edge detailing, ensuring tight tolerances and accurate alignment throughout installation. Special attention was given to the countertop-to-backsplash junction to preserve uninterrupted veining and clean architectural lines. The project also includes a matching Dekton Laurent 2 cm kitchen island, designed to complement the main countertop while maintaining consistent material flow and finish continuity across the kitchen space. Dekton Laurent 2 cm was selected for its durability, stain resistance, and refined aesthetic performance, making it ideal for high-end residential kitchen environments. Absolute GM LLC provides professional countertop fabrication and installation services across Washington State, specializing in Dekton, porcelain, quartzite, and natural stone systems.

The client’s request was quite common - a typical 2800 sf builder home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living space, and den. However, their desire was for this to be “anything but common.” The result is an innovative update on the production home for the modern era, and serves as a direct counterpoint to the neighborhood and its more conventional suburban housing stock, which focus views to the backyard and seeks to nullify the unique qualities and challenges of topography and the natural environment. The Terraced House cautiously steps down the site’s steep topography, resulting in a more nuanced approach to site development than cutting and filling that is so common in the builder homes of the area. The compact house opens up in very focused views that capture the natural wooded setting, while masking the sounds and views of the directly adjacent roadway. The main living spaces face this major roadway, effectively flipping the typical orientation of a suburban home, and the main entrance pulls visitors up to the second floor and halfway through the site, providing a sense of procession and privacy absent in the typical suburban home. Clad in a custom rain screen that reflects the wood of the surrounding landscape - while providing a glimpse into the interior tones that are used. The stepping “wood boxes” rest on a series of concrete walls that organize the site, retain the earth, and - in conjunction with the wood veneer panels - provide a subtle organic texture to the composition. The interior spaces wrap around an interior knuckle that houses public zones and vertical circulation - allowing more private spaces to exist at the edges of the building. The windows get larger and more frequent as they ascend the building, culminating in the upstairs bedrooms that occupy the site like a tree house - giving views in all directions. The Terraced House imports urban qualities to the suburban neighborhood and seeks to elevate the typical approach to production home construction, while being more in tune with modern family living patterns.

This custom bedroom design balances elegance, comfort and creativity while making thoughtful use of the available space. Both the bed and dresser were designed to coordinate with the millwork and bookcase wall opposite, creating a cohesive environment rather than a collection of unrelated pieces. Integrated drawers beneath the bed provide generous concealed storage for extra bedding, large art projects and creative materials. The upholstered headboard wall adds softness and architectural interest through its subtle semicircular profile, echoing the curved detailing of the custom desk. Wrapped in soft blue suede, it brings comfort and a calming connection to the client’s favourite colour. The coordinating dresser features gently rounded edges and linen-textured drawer fronts, finished with handmade blue ceramic knobs for a playful, personal detail. Blue accents continue through the upholstery, accessories and blackout drapery, which provides softness while supporting restful sleep. The bed’s orientation was also carefully considered, allowing the client to enjoy a view through the window upon waking while preserving an efficient layout. Together, these tailored elements create a serene, functional bedroom designed to grow with its young owner.
