2015 Southwest Regional Design Award Winner! After being told by three pool companies that a pool could not be built on this property, we were contacted. The solution for this project was obvious. The only feasible location was the front of the house. A stucco wall that provides privacy from the street was designed to match the home’s entrance. The wall, as well as the stepping stone entry to the house, provides a dramatic entrance to this residence. As a visitor comes through the gate, they see a 15 foot by 3 foot reflecting pool on their left punctuated by a fire bowl on the far end. In order to get to the front door, visitors actually walk across the stepping stones in the reflecting pool. The pool size was limited by the available space. Walkway space was not of high importance due to the amount of shade in the area. Three sheers on the raised beam are the only water features in the pool yet provide substantial noise that the client desired. By using varying heights of raised beam, multiple levels of landscape planters were created. Both the pool and reflecting pool have all tile interiors, complete automation, and a floor cleaning system. The patio surface is stamped concrete behind the smooth limestone coping.

This sleek contemporary staircase pairs rich ebony-stained oak with satin black horizontal iron balusters for a striking modern aesthetic. Square oak newels with chamfered tops anchor the design, while thick contemporary oak treads provide substantial footing. The ebony-stained custom handrails tie the dark tones together, creating visual cohesion from bottom to top. The result is a staircase that balances bold contrast with refined simplicity, proving that durable materials and precise craftsmanship create designs that stand the test of time. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

This lovely couple are in their 70's and previously remodeled their kitchen over 25 years ago. With that in mind, the homeowners had three specific design goals for their new kitchen renovation - age, height, and ease of use, as well as keeping the new look in line with the unique modern design of their gorgeous home. Neither owner is tall, (husband 5'6" and wife under 5'); therefore, a kitchen with easy reach appliances and fixtures was critical. The island design incorporated an extra thick quartz top but needed to be no higher than 35". The ovens were lowered for safety and ease of use, and a pull-out stool was incorporated into the toe kick. The in-drawer downdraft control along with the wide rail stainless steel apron sink was incorporated for complete ease of use. The couple was not looking for a major change in layout but wanted to incorporate a 48" wide Subzero refrigerator into the "smallish" kitchen without creating an overwhelming feeling. Moving all the tall units to one end of the kitchen (near the nook) gave the space an open feel while offering more substantial refrigeration.

Perfectly balanced, the Bridget Dining Table possesses an airy feel while maintaining its substantial form. An open passage by the solid legs creates a weightless look. Offered in wood or glass, the oval table top of Bridget completes the polished design. Crafted from solid oak, two trapezoid legs intersect each other producing a design that will make a statement in any dining room. Manufactured By Bross

Designed as the heart of the kitchen, this thirteen-foot island provides seating for up to six while incorporating generous storage and an integrated wine refrigerator. Blue cabinetry distinguishes the island from the surrounding white millwork, while substantial turned wood legs give it the character of a custom furniture piece. A series of pendant fixtures follows its length, reinforcing the island’s scale and creating balanced illumination for dining, preparation and entertaining.

This kitchen renovation transformed a dark, compartmentalized layout into a light-filled, highly functional space rooted in classic design. Reworking the original peninsula and pass-through allowed us to create a generous central island and dramatically increase both storage and usable workspace. Custom cabinetry extends to the ceiling with substantial architectural molding, while a furniture-inspired range hood and illuminated glass-front cabinetry bring character and balance to the room. A soft neutral palette, natural stone surfaces, textural backsplash and polished hardware complement the home's existing hardwood floors, creating a kitchen that feels fresh and refined while remaining appropriate to the architecture of the home. Thoughtful storage was equally important to the design, with extensive drawer storage, concealed pantry and appliance areas, tray dividers and cabinetry designed around the homeowners' everyday needs.

Coming home has never felt better...This complete exterior home renovation & curb appeal has vibes of Palm Springs written all over it!!! Views of the Organ Mountains surrounded by the Chihuahuan Desert creates an outdoor space like no other. Modifications were made to the courtyard walls, new entrance door, sunset balcony included removing an over designed standard staircase access with a new custom spiral staircase, a new T&G ceiling, minimized obstructing columns, replaced w/substantial cedar support beams. Stucco patch, repair & new paint, new down spouts & underground drainage were all key to making a better home. Now our client can come home with feel good vibes!!! Our next focus was the access driveway, taking boring to sophisticated. With nearly 9' of elevation change from the street to the home we wanted to create a fun and easy way to come home. 8" bed drystack limestone walls & planters were key to making the transition of elevation smooth, also being completely permeable, but with the strength to retain, these walls will be here for a lifetime. Accented with oversized Mossrock boulders and mossrock slabs used for steps, naturalized the environment, serving as break points and easy access. Native plants surrounded by natural vegetation compliments the flow with an outstanding lighting show when the sun goes down. Welcome to your home!!!
