In Greek mythology, the Titans were divine beings who came from the Gods themselves. The artful expression of the Titan model is evocative of the power and immortality of these deities. The sleek profile of this design is redolent of a strong and substantial masterpiece.

The owners of this New Braunfels house have a love of Spanish Colonial architecture, and were influenced by the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio. The home elegantly showcases their collection of furniture and artifacts. Handmade cement tiles are used as stair risers, and beautifully accent the Saltillo tile floor.

Color is introduced to the space by employing images of NYC and Bangalore deities, modern blown glass from a well-known San Fran glassblower, and quirky 1950s vintage glassware. The space hums with authenticity. The coordinated color palette makes the open space a uniform, comprehensive space to enjoy. Its success is in knowing the difference between open/spacious verses empty/hollow and heartless.

This is an example of a mid-sized traditional backyard water fountain landscape in Phoenix.

The emotional center of the home: a three-tier altar in white marble, trimmed in brass, set beneath a hand-painted mural of a South Indian temple gopuram rendered in warm reds, ochres, and blues against a dusty-pink backdrop. A framed image of the family's deity, dressed in fresh marigold garlands, sits at its heart, flanked by small silver lamps lit daily. It's a compact space doing outsized work — turning a few square feet into a daily pilgrimage the family doesn't have to leave home for.

This custom-designed Pooja Mandir in a Burlingame new construction home brings together Indian cultural heritage and contemporary interior design. Designed as a meaningful architectural feature, the built-in prayer niche showcases a distinctive pointed arch inspired by traditional Indian architecture, reinterpreted with clean lines and warm natural wood. Open shelving provides a dedicated space for cherished Hindu deities, including Ganesha, alongside personal religious objects and thoughtfully curated accessories. Integrated lower cabinetry offers discreet storage, while symmetrical brass wall sconces frame the niche and add warmth. The result is a serene, personal space that honors the homeowners' traditions while blending seamlessly into the home's contemporary aesthetic.

This secondary bedroom was designed for guests to be welcomed into a calming environment. The curtains were custom made out of burlap. The neutral palate with just a pop of red gives it just enough pop.
