Memorabilia Room
At the far end of the memorabilia room, poles used to hang cleats from significant games flank a Fathead poster of two “Tulloch” poses. Trophies are showcased and footballs line the walls, while a spirited area rug reminiscent of cheerleaders’ pom-poms adds a touch of whimsy.
A TOUCHDOWN BY DESIGN

What did Detroit Lions linebacker, Stephen Tulloch, do when he needed a decorator for his new Miami 10,000-square-foot home? He tackled the situation by hiring interior designer Jennifer Corredor. Never defensive, he let her have run of the field. “He’d say, ‘Jen, do your thing,’” she says. And she did it well.
The first order of the day was to get a lay of the land and a feel for what he wanted. For his primary residence, Tulloch chose a home in Pinecrest, Florida. — a great family neighborhood known for its schools and ample lot sizes. “His lot is huge,” Corredor says. “He could practice his game there if he wanted.”
A laidback feeling permeates the suburban village, where mostly Mediterranean homes intermix with a few modern styles. With views toward the pool and a landscaped yard, Tulloch’s 10,000-square-foot home touches on both, a Mediterranean exterior with chic contemporary interiors.
Step inside, where high ceilings and a sculptural stairway with oak treads and linear spindles immediately capture the eye. “Knowing he was more inclined toward an uncluttered look, and taking into consideration his age and lifestyle, I naturally took the path of choosing more modern furnishings,” the designer says.
In the dining room, Tulloch specifically asked for a round table and Corredor found “Xilos Simplice” by Maxalto, a table that seats six to eight and has a Lazy Susan.
And just past the stairway, two armless chairs from Calligaris and a semi-round sofa shape the living room. In keeping with Tulloch’s desire for a simple no-fuss lifestyle, leather is often used for upholstery. “He preferred wipe-able areas,” she says. “Nearly everything in the living room is clad in leather.”
An architecturally striking, oak-coffered ceiling warms the family room, while Saturnia marble flooring grounds the space in cool comfort. “Since it’s just off the kitchen, this relaxed space provides the perfect place for family and friends to congregate — somewhere to hang out,” Corredor says. The deep-seated sofa wrapped in tan leather and Minotti armchairs in white join a pair of linen-clad ottomans for ample seating.
With eight bedrooms in the home, there was “plenty of space to repurpose,” Corredor says. “Five are used for sleeping quarters, but the others have been converted into a billiard room, a home office and the memorabilia room.” On the first floor, the billiard room is set for fun and entertainment with doors that open to the pool area.
The memorabilia room presented quite a challenge. Undaunted, Corredor delved into a seemingly never-ending collection of mementos to create a tribute to Tulloch’s career. “His team colors are blue and white, so we used those colors in this space,” she says.
In a nod to Tulloch’s career on and off the field, his home office displays awards, recognition plaques and photos from his foundation. A Copenhagen desk, Herman Miller chair and leather-topped credenza further an aura of masculinity.
All about relaxation, the master bedroom would not be complete without its own sitting area for viewing sports updates or late-night movies. Here, lounge chairs recline to create the perfect spot for Tulloch to put his feet up and watch TV. “He wanted it to be really comfortable,” Corredor says
A total redo was required in the master bath, where the now 12-foot-long shower is a far cry from those in a locker room. “This bath is more like a launching pad to get you going in the morning,” Corredor says.
“All in all, it’s a fun, warm and beautiful environment,” the designer says. “I wanted to create something unique, that would make my client proud and happy.” In Tulloch’s world, that’s a touchdown.

The space as a whole maintains its vibrant and verdant feel with hillside and retaining wall-adjacent foliage providing delightful views.

An expansive outdoor umbrella brings shade when it's needed and sparkle when it isn't. Those seated beneath enjoy the sounds of the fountain embedded in the ledger stone wall, fragrance from the native plants on the slope, and quite possibly the scent of BBQ too!
The umbrella is stored on red flag days, as are the cushions that sit on new, metal seating. The furnishings themself can safely stay in position.

Whenever couples engage in the selection phase during the design process, there is always some give and take over style, taste, and design. Sometimes, as in this case, that is expressed in the form of constructive disagreements followed by clear non-defensive distinctions of what each really wants. Sometimes. We do our best to help with that negotiation of course. Remember, every remodel is a custom endeavor, so the challenge is always to balance needs and wants so everyone wins.

This modern farmhouse landscape project near Cheney, Washington was designed to create a cohesive, durable outdoor environment that complements the architecture while responding to Inland Northwest climate conditions.
Phase One included full site grading, irrigation installation, topsoil placement, and hydroseed to establish a healthy, resilient lawn. Planting areas were thoughtfully designed to provide structure, seasonal interest, and long-term performance while maintaining defensible space principles for improved wildfire resilience. Existing Ponderosa pines were preserved to retain the character and scale of the property, and hardscape materials were selected for durability and low maintenance.
Concrete curbing defines clean transitions between lawn and planting beds, while strategically placed landscape boulders anchor the design within the site’s natural context. Low voltage landscape lighting was integrated to enhance safety, highlight architectural elements, and extend usability into the evening hours.
This project was intentionally designed with future phases in mind, including a detached shop, expanded driveway improvements, additional deciduous tree plantings along the drive, and expanded planting areas. By establishing a strong foundational layout in Phase One, the property can evolve over time while maintaining design cohesion.
The result is a refined farmhouse landscape that feels intentional, regionally appropriate, and built to perform through wind, snow, summer heat, and seasonal change.

Ember resistant gravel replaced combustible organic mulch at the base of this well established tree. This helps protect both the tree and the home from ignition. Well established, the tree's annual trimming schedule, which includes clipping off these small shoots and keeping limbs from touching the roof and eves met insurance and LA County Fire Department standards.

California native Oregon Grape provides another perfect complement to the Spanish tile doorway.California lilac brings its soft blue blooms in early spring. Once they fade, Oregon grape steps in, producing otherworldly blue berries.

Nestled in the heart of Boulder, this 1950s ranch home was thoughtfully transformed to embrace modern living while honoring the charm and character of the neighborhood. The client wished for their home to become a place of gathering and community. This design embraces the open-concept floor plan by dissolving boundaries and encouraging organic interactions between the spaces within the home and with the surrounding landscape.
At the heart of this transformation stands a strategically positioned wood-burning stove, which can be enjoyed from the dining or living areas, perfect for cozy winter nights. The kitchen dining space emerges as the vibrant epicenter of this family-friendly home with a fluid transition to the patio and garden. Vaulted ceilings accentuated with skylights illuminate the space with natural light, creating an airy, expansive feel; while the French oak flooring introduces a touch of grounding warmth and nature. The bedroom wing, intentionally secluded, offers an intimate sanctuary. En-suite bathrooms feature hints of luxury, including a steam shower and a soaking tub, elevating the space for an indulgent spa experience.
Beyond the aesthetics, the fire-wise design includes non-combustible exterior materials, defensible space, and closed soffits. This fully electric home also prioritizes sustainability with features such as electric vehicle and solar power readiness, water-conserving landscaping, and an aging-in-place layout. Collaboration was key in transforming this house into the “forever home“ the couple envisioned and can now enjoy for many years to come - Photography by Dane Cronin

The homeowners have hardened many of the home's features, and they intend to address the eves. For now, they are freshly painted and well maintained. Well established trees are kept limbed up away from the eves and roofline.

This side of the home's Zone 0 has always been a smooth and clear service entrance. The trash bin nook built into the retaining wall may be a home-saving intervention. While added in the original 2009 renovation, it is cutting edge! A CAL FIRE+IBHS analysis of home ignitions during the 2025 LA Fires found garbage bins were one of the top 2 sources for home ignition. Each bin is the equivalent of 3.5 gallons of gasoline in fuel. They should be kept more than 5 feet from homes and ideally in an ember resistant space.

Oregon grape draws the eye to these flashes of yellow too! In spring, its dense, dark green foliage fills with bright sun-yellow clusters of blooms.

As so many Angelenos do, the homeowners long ago converted this garage into an office and softened the space with vibrant container gardens. With just about 10 feet of space between structures, this full area is treated as an ember resistant Zone, and containers have been placed on casters, so they can quickly be moved on red flag days or to protect succulents from too much stormwater.

Removing foliage and adding ember resistant materials under the home's eves created patio seating from a walkway. The homeowers delight in the mix of natural and river rock - and being able to host more friends. The metal furnishings are non-combustible and can stay put on red flag days.

With the Verdugo Mountains wrapping it on all sides, the home itself has been hardened to wildfire. It has a Class A roof, fire-rated vents, well maintained stucco and epay siding, as well as firm window and garage seals.
