Perched on a hillside cul-de-sac lot in Brentwood CA, the Gagne Residence enjoys an unusually private street condition and views toward the ocean, city, and surrounding tree lined hills. To maximize dwelling and garden area on the mostly sloped site, the house is broken into two general volumes, one volume responding to the level and orientation of the street, the other, wrapping and descending along the hill’s contour, acting as retainer while providing a third dwelling level and preserving ample area for a garden.

This stunning home in the gated Aptos community of the Seascape Uplands needed landscaping to match its style and beauty. The main objective in plant selection was deer-resistance as the Aptos hills are known for their voracious herds of deer. Plant selection also needed to consider the windy and foggy conditions on this ridge right above the ocean. The project accomplished these goals and more, offering stunning year-round color, drought-resistance and very little maintenance.

Inspiration for a 1950s bathroom remodel in Seattle

Retro home bowling alley installed in a family recreation building in central Minnesota. Most of the bowling components were salvaged from an old commercial bowling center, and were restored to like-new, or in some technical aspects, better-than-new, condition. The over-lane ball return riser, rack, and capping were originally manufactured in the 1950s. The automatic pinsetter machines are Brunswick A-2 models, which were totally dismantled, cleaned, painted, and rebuilt piece-by-piece with the addition of many new parts. The masking units are Brunswick Gold Crown single-lane models, which were refinished with Granny Smith Apple Green vinyl, and outfitted with a modern LED "pindicator" system. The bowling alley features built-in shoe and ball storage, and a restored manual scorer's table with custom scoresheets.

While originally planned as a major renovation, the condition of the house required that a completely new home be constructed only retaining a portion of the existing foundation. Working on a very tight budget, the new home provides extensive views of the valley and hills to the West. The geometry of the roof allows for light at all times of the day and provides an aesthetic that blends with the landscape. The screen porch and curved deck take in the views while being shaded by the existing large oak that was integrated with the design.
