Secret Gardens is regularly presented with new and challenging designs. This warehouse renovation required a complete overhaul of the internal warehouse courtyard and front entrance. Previous renovations had ‘domesticated’ the building, a poor departure from its warehouse origins. The front was given a sophisticated finish with balconies added onto bedrooms and large garage and entrance doors created with a bronze/copper finish. The internal courtyard pool was modernised, BBQ and cabinetry added and the finishing touches of plants added in pots and hanging from the beams to bring greenery to this industrial space. The end result has enhanced the warehouse appeal with a modern touch.

A guest bath on the first floor goes to (almost) black. The walls are thin sheets of slate, and with the walnut vanity add an unexpected departure from all the white outside.

Surrounded by mid-century modern homes in Bellevue's Vuecrest neighborhood, this home conforms to community design guidelines while also providing a departure from the low key vibe of other homes. Primary materials include charcoal gray brick, cedar siding and ceilings, aluminum windows, and heated concrete floors. Sliding glass doors disappear into wall pockets for easy indoor-outdoor movement.

I created these large metal and glass barn doors to give optional privacy between a large kitchen and a living room in a custom home in San Diego. This sleek modern style of glass and metal work is a departure from my usual nature and fine art based work. The resulting look is a combination of Japanese screen panels with mid century modern design into a sleek, functional and stylish finished product. The glass is custom colored to match the amazing matching colored Florentine finish on the walls throughout the home. These large door panels telescope back to leave the entire room open or closed for entertaining while the kitchen is preparing food for the guests while they are dining. Contact me here if you would like something similar for your home or business.

Torzetto is the all-new exclusive enclave on Streamside Circle in East Vail. Every aspect of Torzetto is a true departure from the typical architectural design currently found in Vail. The design is based on the style of modern minimalist, which stays in line with the forty years of local tradition, yet imparts a very refreshing new type of living experience.
