This project, located within the Camino Del Mar 'beach community', posed an interesting challenge. The project sits within the low lying areas of the San Dieguito River flood plain which required that the building finished floor be set at an elevation 7'-0" above the existing grade. Our goal in dealing with the flood plain requirements and the floor area restrictions was to create a simple, efficient plan that would maximize light, air and privacy, as well as have a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living. We have chosen durable materials appropriate to the neighborhood context that would perform well under a marine environment and satisfy the client's desire for an "autheticity of materials" with a contemporary aesthetic.

An historic Spanish Colonial residence built in 1925 being redesigned and furnished for a modern-day Southern California family was the challenge. The interiors of the main house needed the backgrounds set and then a timeless collection created for its furnishings. Lifestyle was always a consideration as well as the interiors relating to the strong architecture of the residence. Natural colors such as terra cotta, tans, blues, greens, old red and soft vintage shades were incorporated throughout. Our goal was to maintain the historic character of the residence combining design elements and materials considered classic in Southern California Spanish Colonial architecture. Natural fiber textiles, leathers and woven linens were the predominated upholstery choices. A 7000 square foot basement was added and furnished to provide a gym, Star Wars theater, game areas, spa area and a simulator for indoor golf and other sports. Antiques were selected throughout the world, fine art from major galleries, custom reproductions fabricated in the old-world style. Collectible carpets were selected for the reclaimed hardwood flooring in all the areas. An estancia and garden over the basement were created and furnished with old world designs and materials as reclaimed woods, terra cotta and French limestone flooring.

This young, family-centered couple had the budget to allow them to choose luxurious finishes for their custom new-build. With a mix of vintage and modern styles, strong gestures, and a study of blue and white throughout, we were able to create a harmonious, warm and cozy ambiance.

DGI designed the family room with a neutral palette of crisp whites, cognac leather, and aged iron accents to achieve both an urban and earthy look. We selected structured furniture pieces with clean lines throughout the space that give it a modern and sophisticated feel. To create a soft backdrop for the strong linear language of the furniture, we installed floor-to-ceiling ripplefold drapery in an airy grey linen fabric.

This project started as a kitchen remodel and evolved into a complete transformation. CLT Design/Build converted five separate rooms (living, dining, family, flex and kitchen) into one large great room that is flooded with natural light.

The unique style of this home also includes the adaptive reuse of junkyard finds, including an original leaded glass window from 1922, parts of old vehicles used for water collection, and even an original, 1974 ski-lift chair from Big Sky, which has been turned into a barbeque swing. ​Architectural Metal can be found on the roofs, the spiral staircase and the elevated planter which was created to give a strong sense of privacy in a close residential area.

To reflect the light in this new living - dining - cooking open space, Rosario choose pale green for the custom cabinetry and glass subway tiles for the kitchen accent wall. Rosario's color choices reflect light and create space - creamy whites on the walls and newly smoothed ceilings - and a warm caramel brown ceramic tile floor throughout the open space.

Established in a patrimonial building, the Castelnau condo project reflects its history throughout the entire design and is represented in the classical nature of the main entrance lobby. A strong perpendicular axe is created by the symmetrical layout and by a strategic ceiling recess, creating three blacks stripes directing the eyes on the openings to the exterior and taking charge of the lighting distribution. An arrangement of Flos chandeliers overlook the double height and confer elegance to the space, contrasting with the use of fluorescent fixtures that underlines the way to the elevators. Two symmetrical lounges serve as relaxation areas and are complemented by a built-in seat nestled in the hollow wood wall, which enfolds the elevators wall. The choice of materials and the construction details support the contemporary approach and honor the classic architecture filled with history. © Adrien Williams / Lorelei L’Affeter
