The kitchen in this tiny cottage home near the ocean in Santa Monica was transformed by removing walls to open up the space so the sun could shine through. Blue subway glass tiles, blue painted moldings, and Ikea cabinetry were all cost saving techniques used to create this beautiful and spacious kitchen and eating area

This is a great little house that has used back to basics construction methods that utilise ancient building techniques to help be a solution for the modern problem of climate change. The brief was a challenging one; build a beautiful, sustainable home for a family in a short period of time with a very small budget. The brief was fulfilled through the use of efficient design, second hand materials and the use of cob (earth) wall construction - which cost next to nothing but allowed for sculptural beauty. An amazing effort from a determined client then turned that into reality.

Using decorative faux techniques, we completely transformed this hood from plywood to aged copper for much less than the cost of real copper. We love the finished product and so do our clients. FYI: For best viewing, click on a picture to view on Houzz.

This client wanted to experience Santa Fe in Sierra Madre. Challenges were the steep hillside lot, great views, fire concerns and narrow car access. We created a rustic home with a low profile, lush surroundings and an air of quiet tranquility. This rustic southwestern house uses reclaimed vegas and logs for the structural system and asphalt emulsion mud adobe walls for the finish. The house is like an adobe village separated into four structures connected by verandas, courtyards and log bridges.

CONCRETE & CASHMERE Industrial edge, softly tailored. DESIGN DESCRIPTION In this loft-style home, raw architecture meets the refinement of a tailored suit. Exposed concrete ceilings sit above classic white wall panelling and warm herringbone oak floors, giving every room a balance of grit and grace. In the living room, a deep taupe velvet sectional, smoked glass tables and a cowhide rug invite lounging, while a sculptural smoked-chrome pendant floats above the dining table. The kitchen pairs Calacatta marble with bronze-toned cabinetry and a waterfall island lined with bentwood stools. In the bedrooms, charcoal upholstery, inky drapery and graphic black-and-white rugs create a moody, hotel-like calm. The bathrooms continue the story with cerused oak vanities, brushstroke tile and crisp modern fixtures. The result is urban luxury: bold, layered and effortlessly livable.

Buy cutting the walkway with 4" slats, it easily updated the existing hardscape with a cost effective and environmentally friendly technique.

The urbanite material was free. It was shaped by the stone mason before being dry stacked (using no mortar), which is also a cost saving technique.

LED downlights have a longer lifespan, typically lasting tens of thousands of hours. Compared to traditional lighting fixtures, this significantly reduces the frequency of bulb replacements and maintenance costs, providing users with a more convenient experience.
