Example of a trendy living room design in San Diego

Design ideas for a mid-sized transitional shade backyard gravel garden path in New York for spring.

This unique, custom design was featured in the March 2015 Issue of Architectural Digest. This sauna includes floating benches. The back wall is designed to house the heater, hiding it from view, giving it a very modern aesthetic. The door and front walls are all glass. This sauna is very large.

Photo credit: Scott McDonald @ Hedrich Blessing 7RR-Ecohome: The design objective was to build a house for a couple recently married who both had kids from previous marriages. How to bridge two families together? The design looks forward in terms of how people live today. The home is an experiment in transparency and solid form; removing borders and edges from outside to inside the house, and to really depict “flowing and endless space”. The house floor plan is derived by pushing and pulling the house’s form to maximize the backyard and minimize the public front yard while welcoming the sun in key rooms by rotating the house 45-degrees to true north. The angular form of the house is a result of the family’s program, the zoning rules, the lot’s attributes, and the sun’s path. We wanted to construct a house that is smart and efficient in terms of construction and energy, both in terms of the building and the user. We could tell a story of how the house is built in terms of the constructability, structure and enclosure, with a nod to Japanese wood construction in the method in which the siding is installed and the exposed interior beams are placed in the double height space. We engineered the house to be smart which not only looks modern but acts modern; every aspect of user control is simplified to a digital touch button, whether lights, shades, blinds, HVAC, communication, audio, video, or security. We developed a planning module based on a 6-foot square room size and a 6-foot wide connector called an interstitial space for hallways, bathrooms, stairs and mechanical, which keeps the rooms pure and uncluttered. The house is 6,200 SF of livable space, plus garage and basement gallery for a total of 9,200 SF. A large formal foyer celebrates the entry and opens up to the living, dining, kitchen and family rooms all focused on the rear garden. The east side of the second floor is the Master wing and a center bridge connects it to the kid’s wing on the west. Second floor terraces and sunscreens provide views and shade in this suburban setting. The playful mathematical grid of the house in the x, y and z axis also extends into the layout of the trees and hard-scapes, all centered on a suburban one-acre lot. Many green attributes were designed into the home; Ipe wood sunscreens and window shades block out unwanted solar gain in summer, but allow winter sun in. Patio door and operable windows provide ample opportunity for natural ventilation throughout the open floor plan. Minimal windows on east and west sides to reduce heat loss in winter and unwanted gains in summer. Open floor plan and large window expanse reduces lighting demands and maximizes available daylight. Skylights provide natural light to the basement rooms. Durable, low-maintenance exterior materials include stone, ipe wood siding and decking, and concrete roof pavers. Design is based on a 2' planning grid to minimize construction waste. Basement foundation walls and slab are highly insulated. FSC-certified walnut wood flooring was used. Light colored concrete roof pavers to reduce cooling loads by as much as 15%. 2x6 framing allows for more insulation and energy savings. Super efficient windows have low-E argon gas filled units, and thermally insulated aluminum frames. Permeable brick and stone pavers reduce the site’s storm-water runoff. Countertops use recycled composite materials. Energy-Star rated furnaces and smart thermostats are located throughout the house to minimize duct runs and avoid energy loss. Energy-Star rated boiler that heats up both radiant floors and domestic hot water. Low-flow toilets and plumbing fixtures are used to conserve water usage. No VOC finish options and direct venting fireplaces maintain a high interior air quality. Smart home system controls lighting, HVAC, and shades to better manage energy use. Plumbing runs through interior walls reducing possibilities of heat loss and freezing problems. A large food pantry was placed next to kitchen to reduce trips to the grocery store. Home office reduces need for automobile transit and associated CO2 footprint. Plan allows for aging in place, with guest suite than can become the master suite, with no need to move as family members mature.

This home, featured in ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST in the November 2013 Before and After issue, is set prominently on Lake Skaneateles in New York, reflects a period when stately mansions graced the waterfront. Few houses demonstrate the skill of modern-day craftsmen with such charm and grace. The investment of quality materials such as limestone, carved timbers, copper, and slate, combined with stone foundations and triple-pane windows, provide the new owners with worry-free maintenance and peace of mind for years to come. The property boasts formal English gardens complete with a rope swing, pergola, and gazebo as well as an underground tunnel with a wine grotto. Elegant terraces offer multiple views of the grounds.

Patio - traditional patio idea in San Diego

Featured in the July 2010 Issue of Architectural Digest. Photographer: Scott Frances, Architectural Digest. Shingle Style, with a touch of Colonial Revival symmetry and porch detailing. It is subtle yet majestic, with 11 foot high ceilings and deep wrap around porches. The porches are essential to the views, creating a transition point, and giving a human scale to the great outdoors. Large bay windows afford wide open views to all the Western River views, yet are classically detailed.

"The difference is in the details" is the statement Marc-Michaels Interior Design has built their reputation upon since they began creating interiors for discerning clients in 1985. The end result is their personal magnificent estate home. The estate was completed in June of 2000 and takes its name from the eagles which live on the grounds. Palazzo delle Aquile (Italian for "Palace of the Eagles") is situated on the west shore of Lake Osceola. Beholding aesthetic views through almost every window of the home, the site is one of Florida's finest lake front properties. Located within a short walk of the Park Avenue, Winter Park shopping district and five miles from downtown Orlando, the estate maintains a secluded ambiance, yet is in the "heart of the city." It has easy access to local art and antique districts, dining and cultural attractions. Architectural Digest featured the home in their September 2001 issue that displayed "Interior Designers' Own Homes!" Highlighting the Venetian-Gothic inspired architecture that is present throughout the interior spaces and exterior elevations of the home, the article included eight pages of beautiful photography. A few months later, Architectural Digest in their January 2002 issue named Marc-Michaels to their prestigious list they call their "AD 100" - the world's top 100, most talented interior designer firms. This stunning 5-bedroom, 5-full bath (plus 2-half bath) home includes extraordinary amenities and "layers of luxury" that one has dreams of calling "the ultimate home."
