ZEN GUEST BATH Hammered metal, textured stone and quiet calm. DESIGN DESCRIPTION This guest bath draws on Japanese-inspired simplicity for a calm, welcoming retreat. A hammered nickel vessel sink sits atop a richly figured exotic wood plinth, set against a shimmering mineral-textured wall that catches the glow of a slender cone pendant. Wood-banded panels inspired by shoji screens add rhythm and warmth to the soft white walls. In the shower, a rain-textured glass panel edged in sea-green softly diffuses the light, paired with brushed nickel fixtures and a handheld wand. Thoughtfully detailed and beautifully balanced, it gives every guest a spa-like welcome.

Design: Louis Poulsen A/S in cooperation with the Navy Buildings Department Concept: The fixture primarily provides a downward directed soft light by means of the white lacquered inner conical reflector. The outer reflector, the main shade, contributes to directing the light up- and downwards, while at the same time spreading the soft diffuse light. The inside of the main shade is illuminated through an opening in the inner conical reflector. Finish: White, Dark grey, Red, Green, Blue powder coated or Brass. Material: Shade: Spun aluminium or spun brass. Suspension: Spun aluminium. Struts: Stainless steel. Mounting: Canopy: White. Cord type: 3-conductor, 18 AWG white PVC power cord. Cord length: 12'. Weight: Max. 3.3 lbs. Label: cULus, dry location, IBEW.

Set in a wildflower-filled mountain meadow, this Tuscan-inspired home is given a few design twists, incorporating the local mountain home flavor with modern design elements. The plan of the home is roughly 4500 square feet, and settled on the site in a single level. A series of ‘pods’ break the home into separate zones of use, as well as creating interesting exterior spaces. Clean, contemporary lines work seamlessly with the heavy timbers throughout the interior spaces. An open concept plan for the great room, kitchen, and dining acts as the focus, and all other spaces radiate off that point. Bedrooms are designed to be cozy, with lots of storage with cubbies and built-ins. Natural lighting has been strategically designed to allow diffused light to filter into circulation spaces. Exterior materials of historic planking, stone, slate roofing and stucco, along with accents of copper add a rich texture to the home. The use of these modern and traditional materials together results in a home that is exciting and unexpected. (photos by Shelly Saunders)

This home in Napa off Silverado was rebuilt after burning down in the 2017 fires. Architect David Rulon, a former associate of Howard Backen, known for this Napa Valley industrial modern farmhouse style. Composed in mostly a neutral palette, the bones of this house are bathed in diffused natural light pouring in through the clerestory windows. Beautiful textures and the layering of pattern with a mix of materials add drama to a neutral backdrop. The homeowners are pleased with their open floor plan and fluid seating areas, which allow them to entertain large gatherings. The result is an engaging space, a personal sanctuary and a true reflection of it's owners' unique aesthetic. Inspirational features are metal fireplace surround and book cases as well as Beverage Bar shelving done by Wyatt Studio, painted inset style cabinets by Gamma, moroccan CLE tile backsplash and quartzite countertops.

On breakfast room patio, designers had a unique fire table fabricated from a boulder found locally. The huge rock penetrates a tempered glass top. The stone features a carved-out bowl for a fire pit. Flames are fueled by gas via a gas tube the runs up the center of the boulder. The flames are diffused by crushed fire glass. It's a great spot for lunch by the pool and for cocktails at sunset.

Set in the garden beside a traditional Dutch Colonial home in Wellesley, Flavin conceived this boldly modern retreat, built of steel, wood and concrete. The building is designed to engage the client’s passions for gardening, entertaining and restoring vintage Vespa scooters. The Vespa repair shop and garage are on the first floor. The second floor houses a home office and veranda. On top is a roof deck with space for lounging and outdoor dining, surrounded by a vegetable garden in raised planters. The structural steel frame of the building is left exposed; and the side facing the public side is draped with a mahogany screen that creates privacy in the building and diffuses the dappled light filtered through the trees.
