Ania Omski-Talwar Location: Pleasant Hill, CA, USA The vision the partners in this financial advisors office had that it be a welcoming and relaxing space. Instead of a conference room table, they asked for a sofa and a living room atmosphere. They are both outdoor enthusiasts and wanted that reflected in the natural materials used in the design. A living wall seen as you enter the reception area adds to the sense of calm. The office received new paint, carpet, doors, all new furniture and accessories. Manning Magic Photo

Horticulture has fascinated Brian, Dream Greener’s founder, as long as he can remember. From the time he could toddle, he spent his time outdoors collecting “specialmens” (as he called them). As he got older, his interest in taxonomy grew into an obsession: he knew he’d found his life’s calling. Brian has been landscaping since he was 12 years old, and he is an expert with Landscaping, Gardening, Irrigation Repair, Lawn Care, Masonry, and Retaining Walls. So for all of your landscaping or lawn maintenance needs, call Brian with Dream Greener Landscape.

Near the swimming pool, is a built-in spa on the opposite side of the cabana - which contains foldaway glass doors for easy access.

This crisp, white kitchen is warmed up with the wooden beam and the island base and infused with industrial touches.

Here is a newly completed project I've been working on. My charge was to make functional spaces in a basement that included a bar, TV space, game space, office space and music room. The client was sharing some photos he'd taken in subways in NYC, Chicago and London, among others. These exciting images of his stimulated an idea: What if we used the subway as a motif for the entire basement project? This concept was enthusiastically endorsed. Months later, here are the results of this creative challenge. Norman Sizemore

The Sonoma Farmhaus project was designed for a cycling enthusiast with a globally demanding professional career, who wanted to create a place that could serve as both a retreat of solitude and a hub for gathering with friends and family. Located within the town of Graton, California, the site was chosen not only to be close to a small town and its community, but also to be within cycling distance to the picturesque, coastal Sonoma County landscape. Taking the traditional forms of farmhouse, and their notions of sustenance and community, as inspiration, the project comprises an assemblage of two forms - a Main House and a Guest House with Bike Barn - joined in the middle by a central outdoor gathering space anchored by a fireplace. The vision was to create something consciously restrained and one with the ground on which it stands. Simplicity, clear detailing, and an innate understanding of how things go together were all central themes behind the design. Solid walls of rammed earth blocks, fabricated from soils excavated from the site, bookend each of the structures. According to the owner, the use of simple, yet rich materials and textures...“provides a humanness I’ve not known or felt in any living venue I’ve stayed, Farmhaus is an icon of sustenance for me".

When these clients were looking to downsize, they wanted to include finer details and finishings in a home that still offered easy upkeep. While the empty nesters are outdoorsy and active, they chose a home that is intentionally situated on a smaller lot to minimize yard work. But there’s nothing cramped about this open flowing ranch-style home when you step inside. The kitchen and oversized island were built for an enthusiastic home chef, and the large ensuite comes with all the bells and whistles of a high-end spa. What’s more, every bedroom has its own bathroom, providing ultra comfort for visiting children and grandchildren. Custom trims, wainscotting, and crown detailing elevate the design and suggest a feeling of opulence in this sought-after Crown Isle development.

The finished landscape blends structure and greenery to create a backyard sanctuary. We installed a flagstone patio with a custom pergola for shade and outdoor living, along with defined planting beds that bring color and texture year-round. A new greenhouse and potting shed provide practical space for gardening enthusiasts, while trellises and pathways add both utility and charm. Thoughtful plant selections soften the hardscape and provide a sense of lushness, making the space ideal for entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing.
