This garden was designed to celebrate panoramic views of the San Gabriel mountains. Horizontal bands of slate tile from the interior of the mid-century home wrap around the house’s perimeter and extend to the rear pool area, inviting the family outdoors. With a pool framed by mature trees, a sunken seating area, fruit trees, and a modest lawn for a young family, the landscape provides a wide range of opportunities for play, entertaining and relaxation.

This space was unfinished and our clients wanted the space to be family oriented for both the grown ups and the adults. In one corner of the basement, we created an area where the children can do crafts. This area has a built-in with a sink, painted in a pale blue. Adjacent to it we created a built-in, which is home to a tv and all of the family movies. Beyond this is the adult area, which consists of a billiard table, bar, home gym and poker area.
The adult area color pallete is blue and red. We wallpapered the room in stripes to make the ceiling feel higher than they really are but didn't want it to feel like a basement. By creating a sense of architecture and space, such as the coffered ceiling, it feels less like a basement and more like a planned area. This area was a detriment for the homeowner and we made it an asset.


This small house needed a major kitchen upgrade, but one that would do double-duty for the homeowner. Without the square footage in the home for a true laundry room, the stacked washer and dryer had been crammed into a narrow hall adjoining the kitchen. Opening up the two spaces to each other meant a more spacious kitchen, but it also meant that the laundry machines needed to be housed and hidden within the kitchen. To make the space work for both purposes, the stacked washer and dryer are concealed behind cabinet doors but are near the bar-height table. The table can now serve as both a dining area and a place for folding when needed. However, the best thing about this remodel is that all of this function is not to the detriment of style. Gorgeous beaded-inset cabinetry in a rustic, glazed finish is just as warm and inviting as the newly re-faced fireplace.


Across from Hudson River Park, the Classic 7 pre-war apartment had not renovated in over 50 years. The new owners, a young family with two kids, desired to open up the existing closed in spaces while keeping some of the original, classic pre-war details. Dark, dimly-lit corridors and clustered rooms that were a detriment to the brilliant natural light and expansive views the existing apartment inherently possessed, were demolished to create a new open plan for a more functional style of living. Custom charcoal stained white oak herringbone floors were laid throughout the space. The dark blue lacquered kitchen cabinets provide a sharp contrast to the otherwise neutral colored space. A wall unit in the same blue lacquer floats on the wall in the Den.

Wrapping around the back corner of the home, past the pool house, a stepping stone path meanders through a perennial garden. Behind the fence panels on the left are the AC units.
The natural grade of the side yard has been used to best effect with the inclusion of a low retaining wall. The change in elevation within the space, the perennials and shrubs planted both high and low help to balance the view which includes the AC enclosure. The location of the wall curves towards the enclosure creating a "pinch point" gateway.
