Example of a mid-sized classic medium tone wood floor and brown floor kitchen/dining room combo design in Los Angeles

Conceived more similar to a loft type space rather than a traditional single family home, the homeowner was seeking to challenge a normal arrangement of rooms in favor of spaces that are dynamic in all 3 dimensions, interact with the yard, and capture the movement of light and air.
As an artist that explores the beauty of natural objects and scenes, she tasked us with creating a building that was not precious - one that explores the essence of its raw building materials and is not afraid of expressing them as finished.
We designed opportunities for kinetic fixtures, many built by the homeowner, to allow flexibility and movement.
The result is a building that compliments the casual artistic lifestyle of the occupant as part home, part work space, part gallery. The spaces are interactive, contemplative, and fun.

- MILOS SOFA. Milos is a family of upholstered armchairs and sofas characterized by soft and seductive shapes. The Milos project is a collaboration of Horm with the Design Center of Orizzonti, a renowned brand from the Brianza region in Northern Italy, which offers a large and highly-specialized collection of upholstered beds for the sleeping area. Milos was born from the idea that every home is indeed unique and reflects the personality and lifestyle of its guests. For this reason, Milos sofas are removable and can be dressed and covered in a flash with over 240 fabrics from the Orizzonti collection, assuming a relaxed and playful yet elegant and sophisticated aspect, or that of great luxury and preciousness.

The Infinity series containers are made of square units of 19''5/8W x 18''7/8D x 19''5/8H with lacquered frame (11 Horm colors) and doors veneered with bois blond stained beech (Horm finish). The doors are covered with three elements of decorative lacquered laminate attached by means of hidden magnets and whose arrangement determines the line pattern shown on the front of each container. Interestingly enough, each line moves across doors in a continued and seemingly infinite pattern, regardless of the chosen arrangement. Furthermore, the magnetic attachment allows changing the element arrangement at will to produce dynamic, original designs.

A groundbreaking residential construction project in Connecticut, executed by HSL Builders, challenges the stereotypical notion of modern architecture as a mere "box." The innovative design, spearheaded by architect George Dumitru, revolves around a dynamic pinwheel concept. The central atrium serves as the project's focal point, with four cantilevered second-story bedrooms creating a visually centrifugal effect. Transparency is a key element, evident in the glazed atrium and open floor plan, fostering a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Embracing Connecticut's natural landscape, the design minimizes interference to maximize picturesque vistas. This collaborative effort, led by HSL Builders, showcases inventive design elements that go beyond the traditional, redefining the essence of modern residential construction.

This renovation for a young family with two boys truly reflects the essence of thoughtful design that balances aesthetics with practicality. The decision to remove two walls and replace them with beams covered in red oak veneers speaks to the family’s need for an open floor plan, ensuring important sight lines while the boys play—a perfect solution for parents who want a balance between modern living and supervision.
The arch in the range hood becomes a focal point, introducing elegance and architectural sophistication to the space, while the black gloss "handmade" herringbone backsplash tiles add a layer of dynamic texture that elevates the kitchen's design. These touches show that this renovation wasn’t just about creating a functional space, but one with character and style.
Functionality was clearly top of mind, with the focus on ample storage, modern appliances, and smart layouts. These elements allow the kitchen to meet the demands of a busy family, whether it’s for everyday meals or special gatherings. The seamless flow between the kitchen, dining room, and great room makes this space ideal for entertaining and family interaction, further enhanced by the clean, open lines.
This renovation serves as a great example of how thoughtful design can transform a home, making it not only more beautiful but also more enjoyable and efficient for day-to-day living.

Eichler X-100 Living Room: A Masterclass in Light, Space, and Modern Living
The living room of the Eichler X-100 is where architecture becomes art—an expansive, light-filled environment that captures the pure essence of mid-century modern design. Conceived by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons for Joseph Eichler, this space is both visually striking and effortlessly livable.
A Space Defined by Freedom
At its core, the living room is made possible by the X-100’s revolutionary steel-frame construction, which removes the need for interior structural walls. The result is a completely open, uninterrupted volume—a rarity even by today’s standards.
This structural freedom allows the room to feel expansive yet grounded, with clean lines and an unmistakable sense of architectural clarity.
Light as the Primary Material
In the X-100, light is not an afterthought—it is the defining element. The living room is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass walls, drawing in natural light and framing the surrounding landscape like a series of ever-changing artworks.
Above, continuous skylights introduce a soft, diffused glow that shifts throughout the day, giving the space a dynamic, almost ethereal quality.
The result is a room that feels alive—constantly evolving with the light.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Connection
The living room opens directly to outdoor spaces through large sliding glass panels, creating a fluid transition between interior and exterior living. Whether fully opened or closed, the connection to nature is always present.
This is California Modernism at its best:
a lifestyle built around openness, air, and light.
Framed Views and Architectural Alignment
Every sightline within the living room has been carefully considered. Views extend through the home toward interior gardens, atriums, and beyond, reinforcing a sense of continuity and connection.
Even the structure—expressed through exposed steel elements—becomes part of the visual composition, anchoring the openness with a subtle industrial elegance.
A Space for Gathering and Reflection
While expansive, the living room remains intimate in its experience. It is equally suited for entertaining as it is for quiet moments—reading, relaxing, or simply appreciating the architecture itself.
There is a calmness here, a balance between openness and comfort that defines the very best of Eichler design.
The Heart of the Vision
The living room of the Eichler X-100 is not just a place to sit—it is a manifestation of a larger idea: that space, light, and structure can come together to create something both functional and deeply inspiring.
It is, in every sense, a living expression of the future Eichler imagined.

As functional as it is eco-friendly, Essence provides a minimalist design as well as water-saving technology.

Getting your homeowner's association board to approve your new custom garage doors can seem daunting. Dynamic Garage Door as a custom design and manufacturing firm has come across this situation quite frequently with a phenomenal success approval rate!
In order to get approval for your custom garage door approval there are a few basic points you must understand. First off, your HOA is committed to preserving the neighborhood's curb appeal integrity by focusing on the impact your new custom garage doors might have on your house and the houses of your neighbors. It is important to understand that your curb appeal decisions will impact your home and neighborhood alike. Too many companies offer semi-custom wood doors without the true understanding of the client's need and the essence of their home's architectural style. The garage door design you choose needs to comply with neighborhood regulations while complement your home's architecture. At Dynamic Garage Door, our designers are well-rounded in the garage door industry and so we can suggest or develop designs that will reinforce the natural appearance of your home's style. If you can prove to your HOA that you've done your homework and that the garage door design you chose will complement not only your home but the neighborhood you'll be surprised when your proposal is marked with the approval stamp!
This garage door is actually a single double-car door not two as it appears. The reason is that this garage used to have two separate doors with a post in the middle. The post in the middle made it difficult to use the garage on a daily basis so the post was removed to facilitate the use of the garage. The HOA wasn't too happy about the removal of the post as it was an essential part of the arches located right above the garage doors. You can clearly see how that would have been disruptive if the homeowner went with a regular wood door and not one custom designed and manufactured by Dynamic Garage Door.
This garage door was specifically designed to address the HOA's concern about the center post removal and the effect it would have on the curb appeal of the home with the incomplete double arch look. So we addressed this by crafting the door with a false center post in the middle that was textured and painted the same color of the house to give off that illusion that the post is still there. Overall, it gives the home a complete finished appearance with two independent-looking doors and original post. The homeowner got the entire width of the opening to use at the push of a button so having a larger car won't be a problem anymore. The neighbors are all happy and no one seems to notice the center post is actually fake!
