Situated on one of the most prestigious streets in the distinguished neighborhood of Highland Park, 3517 Beverly is a transitional residence built by Robert Elliott Custom Homes. Designed by notable architect David Stocker of Stocker Hoesterey Montenegro, the 3-story, 5-bedroom and 6-bathroom residence is characterized by ample living space and signature high-end finishes. An expansive driveway on the oversized lot leads to an entrance with a courtyard fountain and glass pane front doors. The first floor features two living areas — each with its own fireplace and exposed wood beams — with one adjacent to a bar area. The kitchen is a convenient and elegant entertaining space with large marble countertops, a waterfall island and dual sinks. Beautifully tiled bathrooms are found throughout the home and have soaking tubs and walk-in showers. On the second floor, light filters through oversized windows into the bedrooms and bathrooms, and on the third floor, there is additional space for a sizable game room. There is an extensive outdoor living area, accessed via sliding glass doors from the living room, that opens to a patio with cedar ceilings and a fireplace.

LOS ANGELES, CA / SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL The commission for this 4,300-square-foot residence came with significant challenges for the architects – a house had once existed on the lot but had burned down and the attempt to replace the house had stalled, leading to an abatement order and a lapse of permits. Our first challenge was to revive the lapsed construction permit by proposing to “modify” the existing structure. The practical effect this had was to fix the footprint of the new home to the existing structure’s plan outline. Having thereby inherited the large, dense block of the original house, the new strategy became one of substituting selective areas of indoor space for outdoor courtyard. This strategy of trading indoor space for outdoor courtyard allowed an erosion of the formerly monolithic structure into a series of distinct volumetric elements, and further suggested that the architectural pieces could cohere as a “village.” The main level is further eroded by large, glazed planes, merging indoor with outdoor, and virtually stretching the landscape across interior space. Moving the detached garage from the rear yard to beneath the new living space allowed for a 75-meter lap pool and a shaded olive garden. The gardens include built-in seating, extensive use of ornamental grasses and Zen-like interior courtyards. A material palette of fossilized stone, bonderized-galvanized metal, and natural Douglas fir allows for the warmth desired by the wife, while providing the modernity required by the husband. Programmatically, her music room borrows from the calm and protected olive court in the rear, while his office becomes a pavilion set in the landscape, which both addresses the street and acts as a sheltering monument for the terraced entry garden.

Indoor-outdoor flow defines this home. A front courtyard welcomes you as soon as you enter the property, with a large pivot-hinge door leading into the home. Inside the home, the connection to lush outdoor spaces is a constant. This modern remodeling project transformed the home, brightening the interior spaces and creating indoor-outdoor flow. Prior to our remodel, the home had been added onto multiple times over the years, and lacked a unifying sense of design. Our project gave the home a modern cohesiveness, no longer feeling like a home that had been created in pieces.

This was a complete transformation that incorporated a brick Cape Cod into a stunning modern home. It offers two-family living with a separate dwelling. The retractable glass walls that lead to a central courtyard provide family and entertaining space. Our designer solved many design challenges to meet the program, including working the design around a difficult lot and zoning rules.

The Elliott Bay House is located on an urban site facing Puget Sound in Washington State. The architectural massing of the house has been wrapped around a south-facing, courtyard dominated by a large reflecting pool with two “floating” basalt boulders. The main living space has sweeping westerly views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. The east side of the living space is the courtyard with reflecting pool, providing a sense of intimacy and quiet in contrast to the dramatic views on the west side. Similar to other FINNE projects, a strong sense of “crafted modernism” is present in the house. A water jet-cut steel fence and gate leads to the house entry. Stainless steel stands elevate the basalt boulders in the pool so they hover slightly above the water’s surface. Roof drainage from the living space drops onto the basalt boulder in a 10-ft. waterfall. Exterior siding is custom stained red cedar with two different patterns and colors. The striking steel and wood stairs have water jet-cut steel railings with a pattern based on hand-drawn ink brush strokes. The beech interior cabinets have a custom topographic milled pattern called “imaginary landscape.” Freeform steel lighting bars in the ceiling tie together the kitchen and dining spaces. The house is highly energy efficient and sustainable. All roof drainage is directed to the reflecting pool for collection. The house is insulated 30% higher than code. Radiant heating is used throughout; generous glass areas provide natural lighting and ventilation; large overhangs are used for sun and snow protection; interior wood is FSC certified. The house has been pre-wired for photovoltaic roof panels, and an electric vehicle charging station has been installed in the garage.

The homeowner’s only request was to keep as much of the existing landscape as possible on this Sanibel remodel. As the driveway winds around, you are enticed by the pockets of tropical plantings located in and around the stately royal palms lining the drive. The color sparks your interest as you move down the drive to a rounded island with a simplistic approach to a tropical courtyard. The coral walkway and border leads you to the front door, but the angel trumpet and its significant blooms catches your eye. Entering into the courtyard lined with colorful bromeliads and orchids, the sound of the custom water feature gives you a sense of serenity. Both the pottery and fountain add to the rustic ocean ambiance. An existing seahorse statue became the inspiration for a whimsical water feature, and is surrounded by alocasia, apostle iris and ground orchids. The sound of the water can be heard not only throughout the courtyard but also around the resort-styled outdoor living area. The deep cushioned teak furniture provides a tranquil atmosphere and utilizes the space under the home to create a comfortable outdoor living space. Bougainvillea give you a spectacular burst of color as you enter the ocean side of the residence. Existing spindle and sabal palms anchor the beds containing firebush and coontie to attract butterflies. The use of grass, mulch and the shell pathway towards the beachside area adds an element of dimension. This expansive property was truly a diamond in the rough and now provides beauty and enjoyment for the homeowners.
