The grounds were treated with the same care and attention to design and detail as the residence in this complete remodel and restoration of a midcentury modern home and yard. The resulting landscape is a seamless integration of a low-maintenance, xeriscape front yard with modern appeal and a lush space for entertaining in the back, whose horticultural palette draws inspiration from an iconic time period while remaining drought-tolerant and aligned with Santa Barbara style. The high-desert plant palette provides an example an extremely low-maintenance and low-water-use garden without sacrificing aesthetics.

All glass starts out beautiful. Ours stays that way. DiamondGuard glass, fused with the strength of carbon, has an extremely low coefficient of friction that permanently protects it from scratching and hazing.

A firepit area was requested, and much needed. There was an existing patch of native trees and plantings which created the perfect pocket for a firepit area to feel like you are submersed in nature. Next to the firepit is the play area. Artificial turf was chosen as the material because it is extremely low maintenance, and is a nice soft cushion for the kids to play on.

This bathroom had to serve the needs of teenage twin sisters. The ceiling height in the basement was extremely low and the alcove where the existing vanity sat was reduced in depth so that the cabinetry & countertop had to be sized perfectly. (See before Photos)The previous owner's had installed a custom shower and the homeowners liked the flooring and the shower itself. Keeping the tile work in place and working with the color palette provided a big savings. Now, this charming space provides all the storage needed for two teenage girls.

Designed and built by MAADKreatif™ Studio, this home in Northern Colorado is an on-going conversation with the wild, expansive, and awe-inspiring nature just outside its door. Standing at over 6800 feet above sea level on a 40-acre property bordering more than 650,000 acres of forest land and the Rocky Mountain wilderness, Marc Gerritsen, principal architect of MAADKreatif™, had to contend with wind factor exceeding 150 miles per hour, massive snow loads, extreme danger of wild fires, water shortage, dry climate, and intense year round sun exposure in designing the sprawling headquarters. “Instead of dictating, acquiescing or adapting to Mother Nature, I engage her in a friendly banter”, Marc says with a smile. “We designed and engineered the main building to withstand extreme conditions, but nature had plenty to say in regards to the location, form, orientation, and cladding of the massive structure. “Although we have 40-acres of land to work with, much of it is too steep, exposed, or impenetrable to build on” Marc continues, “the building stands on the only location where we could carve out a large enough area without inflicting too much damage on the land. As it happens, it is also the best location we could hope for. From this location, we have a Southwest orientation that gives the building the optimum amount of sun exposure in the winter, protection from the strong easterly wind, access to water, and a vast, un-interrupted views of the bright city lights, vast plains and the majestic snow-capped mountains”. The building’s frontage features two sets of 24 feet long panoramic windows to take it all in, and its slightly sloped roofline allows high wind to glide over the building and sends melted snow into a 1800 gallon underground concrete cistern. And, to protect the building from wild fires, the entire structure is cladded in raw steel. Exposure to the sun, wind, rain, and snow has begun to corrode the raw metal and transformed its cold, polished, steely surface into a warm, rusty patina that will continue to darken overtime while the extremely low humidity in the air will stop the rusted steel from withering away. And so, the friendly banter between man and nature continues. “Our home embodies the philosophy of Resilient Design + Living,” said Adria Lake, “it is built to last and thrive in any condition, not by force or concessions, but through an on-going conversation and collaboration with nature.”

We enjoyed building this backyard paradise for our clients in New Smyrna Beach. They wanted a free form pool with spa tucked away nicely in their tropical setting, and were very happy with the final product. This pool features a planter wall with 24″ waterfalls for that clean, crisp look. The pool deck features Tremron Olde Town pavers and the pool itself features Alures glass tile and a dark pebble interior finish. All Aqua Pools always includes our Paramount PCC2000 self-cleaning floor system which circulates the water from the bottom, resulting in clean water, extremely low maintenance, and a significant cost savings when heating the pool.
