This sunken media room was reimagined to complement an existing postmodern living space while elevating functionality and visual cohesion within the home. Although the adjacent front living room remained unchanged, the design introduces a custom media wall with integrated linear fireplace, creating a bold architectural focal point that anchors the lower-level lounge. Material contrast and lighting were carefully considered to define this space as a distinct yet connected environment. The result is a refined media room that enhances the overall flow of the home while respecting the original design language of the adjacent space.

This lakefront second home in the Irish Hills offered expansive lake views, yet the yard provided little usable space beyond the existing deck. The slope toward the water restricted gathering areas and made site access during construction especially complex. The goal was to extend the living environment beyond the deck. To create a series of spaces that felt connected to the water, social with corn hole tournaments and a cozy place to unwind in the evening after docking the boat, cast in warm, soft lighting.

This very large corner site was shrouded in tired and thirsty conventional lawn. Really a bland, uninteresting monoculture—impossible to maintain especially in light of our dwindling resources and our growing understanding about sustainable practices. We chose to approach this project not with the idea that existing lawn is bad, but with respect for what lawn has historically represented: a socially connective tissue. Instead of conventional grass requiring endlessly large amounts of water, chemicals and mowing, this lawn conversion shifts to a naturalistic native meadow mix splashed with wildflowers and drought tolerant native shrubs. It was the clients’ desire to be wrapped by a garden attracting native pollinators and beneficial insects. A wildlife photographer, they wanted the opportunity to open windows and doors and feel immediately connected to a coastal native environment. The handsome new stone walls, stairs and massive boulders became the structural framework containing the loose, coastal sage scrub plant community, holding the landscape together during the dormant months. As we continue to grow our acceptance of and appreciation for climate appropriate California gardens, and embrace the paradigm shift, let us graciously bid adieu to our home’s unsustainable velvet robe.

This complete backyard transformation reimagined an existing pool and spa into a modern outdoor living environment designed for entertaining and year-round enjoyment. The remodel centered around creating multiple gathering spaces that feel connected while taking full advantage of expansive west-facing views overlooking the Pacific Ocean and downtown San Diego. A custom outdoor kitchen anchors the space, featuring top-of-the-line appliances and an oversized bar island designed for casual dining, conversation, and entertaining. The kitchen is sheltered beneath an aluminum louvered patio cover, allowing adjustable sun and shade throughout the day while integrated LED strip lighting, overhead heaters, and a ceiling fan create comfort well into the evening hours. A feature TV wall serves as a focal point, highlighted by a custom copper sheet inlay that introduces natural material warmth and evolving patina, adding depth and character to the contemporary design. Adjacent to the main entertaining area, a floating deck was constructed over the existing slope, creating a dramatic lounge space that captures unobstructed sunset views. The deck is centered around a Lumacast sculptural fire pit, providing a natural gathering place for relaxing and enjoying the coastal setting. The result is a layered outdoor environment that blends modern materials, thoughtful lighting, and functional design, transforming the backyard into a true resort-style experience designed for connection, comfort, and unforgettable evenings outdoors.
