This custom home combines a clean modern exterior with timeless architectural details. The dark horizontal siding creates a bold, sophisticated look, while the natural stone entry adds warmth and texture to the front elevation. A defined entryway, simple rooflines, black-trimmed windows, and a connected garage give the home a balanced and intentional design. The front landscaping keeps the focus on the architecture with clean lawn areas, modern concrete walkways, young trees, and low-maintenance planting beds. Overall, the home has a refined modern style that feels both custom and welcoming.

What began as an empty hallway and stair landing is now a masterfully transformed zone of custom built-ins and intentional functionality. Every panel, pull, and cabinet was thoughtfully designed to maximize previously unused space, resulting in a storage solution that feels both seamless and sophisticated. On one side, tall custom cabinetry conceals everything from seasonal storage to household essentials, while a hidden pull-out pantry-style drawer takes advantage of even the tightest under-stair void. Across the hall, a charming mudroom-style bench with integrated storage creates the perfect landing spot—complete with playful upholstery and a statement pet portrait that brings personality to the space. This is smart design at its best: turning architectural limitations into high-function, high-style moments that elevate daily living without sacrificing aesthetics.

Modern Transitional with European farmhouse influences — airy, architectural, and intentionally restrained. The power of the space comes from its volume, symmetry, and connection to the landscape rather than decorative excess. This great room embraces a minimal, high-volume architectural aesthetic, where clean lines and natural light become the primary design features. The dramatic vaulted ceiling instantly creates grandeur while maintaining warmth through proportion and material balance.

This project is the 2nd house Belz has done for these clients. The clients were down-sizing and wanted a 1-story home with a mid-century modern feel. The intent of the project was to create a low-maintenance home, so Belz chose materials accordingly. An open floor plan was created for the main space which included the kitchen, dining, and living room areas all combined. The wife, a professional chef, provided considerable input into the kitchen design. The primary suite was purposely separated from the other bedrooms. One of the additional bedrooms could function as the owner’s art/music studio. The clients collected art and wanted a lot of wall space for their collection. However, they also wanted a lot of natural light. The solution was to add high clerestory windows all around the Great Room.

In this Playa del Carmen luxury Airbnb interior design project, the bathroom was designed to feel like a private boutique retreat rooted in local culture and artistry. Deep olive green walls set a rich, grounding backdrop while a vessel sink atop a warm wood vanity, marble-look shower surround, and vibrant Mexican-inspired artwork, including a portrait of a Tehuana woman, bring color, story, and soul into the space. Every design decision in this Mexico bathroom remodel was intentional, balancing elevated finishes with the lively, colorful spirit of the Riviera Maya.

Designed to feel anything but typical, this basement remodel was centered around warmth, character, and livability. The goal was to create a space that feels fully integrated with the home above, both in function and aesthetic. An egress window was introduced to bring natural light into the new bedroom, transforming the lower level into a bright and comfortable extension of the home. The main living area is anchored by a custom built-in TV wall, creating a natural gathering space for movie nights and game days. Just off the living area, a custom wet bar adds both convenience and visual interest, making entertaining effortless. Built-in storage solutions were thoughtfully incorporated throughout, keeping the space organized while adding depth and detail to the design. The result is a basement that feels open, inviting, and intentionally designed for everyday living, seamlessly blending comfort, function, and style.

Eichler X-100 Bedroom: A Private Retreat Defined by Light and Calm The bedrooms of the Eichler X-100 offer a quieter, more intimate expression of the home’s architectural vision—spaces designed for rest, reflection, and connection to light and nature. Conceived by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons for Joseph Eichler, these rooms balance simplicity with thoughtful design in a way that feels both modern and timeless. Minimalism with Purpose The bedrooms are intentionally restrained—free of unnecessary detail—allowing the architecture itself to define the experience. Clean lines, open volumes, and uncluttered surfaces create a sense of calm that feels almost meditative. Every element serves a purpose, reinforcing a lifestyle centered on clarity and ease. Light, Softened and Controlled Unlike the expansive public spaces, the bedrooms receive light in a more subtle way: Skylights filter daylight from above, creating a soft, even glow Carefully placed glazing maintains brightness while preserving privacy Light shifts gently throughout the day, enhancing the room’s tranquil atmosphere This approach transforms light into something quiet and restorative. A Connection to Nature—On Your Terms Even in these more private spaces, the X-100 maintains its connection to the outdoors. Views often extend toward interior gardens or landscaped areas, allowing nature to remain present without sacrificing seclusion. The result is a unique balance: open, yet protected. Integrated Within the Plan Positioned along the home’s central circulation, the bedrooms are seamlessly connected to the rest of the house while still feeling distinctly separate. The layout allows for easy movement, yet maintains a clear transition from public to private zones. There are no long corridors or wasted space—just efficient, intentional design. Comfort Through Design The bedrooms reflect Eichler’s belief that architecture should enhance everyday life. Radiant-heated floors, natural materials, and thoughtful proportions create an environment that is both comfortable and visually refined. It’s a space that supports rest without distraction. A Quiet Expression of Modernism While the X-100 is known for its bold experimentation, the bedrooms reveal a softer side—where modernism becomes personal. These rooms are not about making a statement; they are about creating a sense of peace within a larger architectural vision. In the Eichler X-100, even the most private spaces are designed with intention—proving that great architecture isn’t just experienced in grand gestures, but in the quiet moments of everyday life. image Sabrina Huang

A steep front yard that most people would have ignored, turned into the best part of the house to come home to. We cut the slope into terraces, held it with stone walls, and ran wide steps up the middle so the whole thing feels intentional instead of awkward. Beds along the terraces hold the grade and soften the stone. Low flowering plants line the walk with big shade trees arching over all of it, so the garden feels established from the street. Everything is built to work with the slope rather than fight it, which keeps the soil in place and the maintenance low through the seasons. A front garden that solves a real problem and looks good doing it. Designed and built by Studio Rostrata in Austin, Texas.
