A clean, modern style mixed with traditional elements blend to create a warm transitional media room in Newport Beach. Living room combines caramel leather seating with soft green armchairs and expansive arched doors. The photograph shows a glossy dark coffee table, geometric area rug, patterned pillows, large potted trees, full-height drapery, and a dark reflective media wall. Amber cove lighting warms the coffered ceiling, while daylight and distant outdoor views brighten the balanced palette, creating an inviting entertainment space with polished architectural detail and strong indoor-outdoor connection.

Contemporary bathroom vanity combines a round wood-framed mirror with a bold black-and-white geometric mosaic wall. Repeating elongated shapes create strong vertical rhythm behind a pale gray veined countertop and oval undermount sink. Polished metal fixtures add brightness, while the warm circular frame softens the graphic pattern. This focused composition balances natural wood, crisp monochrome tile and subtle surface movement for a refined vanity with a distinctive custom character.

Cool aerial view of this back deck and dock of this beach home. Exterior off the dock area this variable pool deck becomes lounge pool or swim pool with the touch of a button. The long rectangular pool features a large blue floral mosaic and an integrated raised square spa, bordered by broad gray stone paving and clear glass railings. Light stone exterior walls, black-framed glazing and upper balconies create a layered architectural backdrop. The open waterside setting and strong indoor-outdoor relationship give the pool area a refined resort atmosphere suited to swimming, lounging and entertaining.

This floating staircase was a different style from the usual Stairworks design. The owner wanted us to design, fabricate and install the steel and the treads, so our in-house staircase designer drew everything out. Because the owner has strong ties to China, he had everything sent away in order for the treads to be manufactured there. What made this tricky was that there wasn’t any extra material so we had to be very careful with our quantities when we were finishing the floating staircase build. The treads have LED light strips underneath as well as a high polish, which give it a beautiful finish. The only challenge is that the darker wood and higher polish can sometimes show scratches more easily. The stairs have a somewhat mid-century modern feel due to the square handrail and the Stairworks exclusive round spindle balustrade. This style of metal balustrade is one of our specialties as the fixing has been developed over the last year closely with our engineer allowing for there to be no fixings shown on the bottom of the tread while still achieving all engineering requirements.

View from the dock at dusk, lighted pool & spa area, outdoor living. Residence glows at dusk behind a blue-lit courtyard pool. Light stone cladding, pale siding and black-framed floor-to-ceiling windows create a layered coastal exterior, while balconies and broad openings connect the upper and lower levels to the terrace. Warm interior lighting reveals lounge spaces beyond the glass and contrasts with the vivid pool illumination. The symmetrical rear elevation feels open and resort-like, designed around outdoor living and a strong relationship to the water.

Warm wood, Moko panels cold rolled steel stairs, glass bridge, stone slab, hide rug wall panels. An open staircase becomes an architectural focal point through a dramatic carved wood wall installation with flowing organic relief. Light wood stair treads and warm timber handrails contrast with black horizontal metal railings, charcoal textured walls and a dark tiled accent surface. Exposed overhead beams and integrated linear lighting reinforce the contemporary rustic character. The layered materials, strong vertical composition and nature-inspired artwork create a warm, artistic transition between levels

Project Objective The goal of this project was to deliver a highly realistic 3D visualization of a bedroom overlooking the forest, where contemporary comfort is seamlessly combined with natural serenity. The intention was to create not only a functional interior but also an atmosphere that reflects the calm and restorative qualities of the surrounding landscape. Approach & Process - Spatial Planning: The layout was developed with a strong focus on ergonomics and user experience, ensuring optimal proportions and flow. - Materials & Lighting: Natural textures, such as wood and soft textiles, were paired with a warm, diffused lighting scheme to evoke a peaceful and immersive ambiance. - Camera Work: Each camera angle was strategically chosen to emphasize the interplay between interior details and the expansive forest views, showcasing both design precision and emotional impact. Outcome The final visualization demonstrates a refined balance between aesthetics and practicality. Attention to detail — from fabric textures to the way light shifts across surfaces — allowed for the creation of an atmosphere that is not only visually convincing but also emotionally resonant. This project reflects my ability to translate design concepts into immersive, photorealistic visual experiences.

WHO IS ROSIE? With more than 20 years combined experience in restoration – from water and fire to roofing, siding and gutters – Rosie’s offers its clients the experience, judgment and knowhow to ensure that your restoration project proceeds as planned, utilizing all the appropriate materials and installation personnel, and in the end returns your property to a like-new condition. We are often asked, “Who is Rosie?” In truth, Rosie is an idea around which three individuals from widely ranging backgrounds came together with common goals and shared values. Key among these values is the core belief that the best way to ensure that we are here for years to come is by growing the company solidly and conservatively. This requires a commitment to customer service, fiscal responsibility, strong leadership and the development of the resources necessary to get any job accomplished. In this light, Rosie’s harkens back to the World War II cultural icon of Rosie the Riveter. She personifies the American work ethic, its “can-do” attitude and a willingness to do whatever is necessary to get the job done.

The garden borders a natural reserve, and the whole area’s character is determined by beech and birch forests and heaths. The design was chosen to define a garden that is not subject to time and trends. The sleek lines come into a beautiful contrast with the natural shapes of the edges of the woodland. The slopes of ornamental grasses are a reference to the lush moors of the surrounding fields. The most logical place for the pool would have been right next to the house, but as a landscape designer, I chose to place the swimming pool deep in the garden. This totally changes the perception of the garden as a whole. By making a path to somewhere, you amplify the emotion that place rouses. The pool and the bathhouse* are now amongst the planes of ornamental grasses, next to the edge of the woodland. As a result, you get to feel as part of nature. Strong horizontal lines tune in the proportions of the house with the proportions of the garden and landscape. Thus, the garden is continued in its surroundings and makes use of the horizontal lines to anchor itself into the area. *The concept of the swimming pool and bathhouse design was developed in collaboration with BOS architects.

Shown: Kährs Lux Horizon wood flooring Kährs have launched two new ultra-matt wood flooring collections, Lux and Lumen. Recently winning Gold for 'Best Flooring' at the 2017 House Beautiful Awards, Kährs' Lux collection includes nine one-strip plank format designs in an array of natural colours, which are mirrored in Lumen's three-strip designs. The new surface treatment applied to the designs is non reflective; enhancing the colour and beauty of real wood, whilst giving a silky, yet strong shield against wear and tear. Emanuel Lidberg, Head of Design at Kährs Group, says, “Lux and Lumen have been developed for design-led interiors, with abundant natural light, for example with floor-to-ceiling glazing. Traditional lacquer finishes reflect light which distracts from the floor’s appearance. Our new, ultra-matt finish minimizes reflections so that the wood’s natural grain and tone can be appreciated to the full." The contemporary Lux Collection features nine floors spanning from the milky white "Ash Air" to the earthy, deep-smoked "Oak Terra". Kährs' Lumen Collection offers mirrored three strip and two-strip designs to complement Lux, or offer an alternative interior look. All designs feature a brushed effect, accentuating the natural grain of the wood. All floors feature Kährs' multi-layered construction, with a surface layer of oak or ash. This engineered format is eco-friendly, whilst also making the floors more stable, and ideal for use with underfloor heating systems. Matching accessories, including mouldings, skirting and handmade stairnosing are also available for the new designs.

Double-height entry atrium makes a dramatic statement with a cascading glass chandelier suspended beneath a black-framed glazed roof. White walls amplify the daylight, while warm wood stairs and ledges soften the strong geometry of the metal railings and window frames. The upper-level overlook the open void, creating long vertical sightlines toward the patterned entry floor below. The combination of skylight and sculptural lighting gives this contemporary coastal hall an airy, gallery-like presence. Entry area flooded with light from atrium roof, 300 year old beams, metal stair rail and custom Solanna designed water droplet chandelier.

200+ year old beams reclaimed from a barn make up these pretty treads and stairway. Stair railing detail pairs slender black metal balusters with a rugged wood beam at the edge of an upper landing. Deep grain, knots and weathered texture remain visible in the timber, contrasting with the precise circular metal bases and pale plank floor above. The minimal guardrail preserves openness through the atrium while adding strong vertical rhythm. This close-up captures the home's organic contemporary material language in a practical architectural junction.
