This solid petrified log from Andrew Martin serves as a striking and sculptural side table, perfectly positioned beside the contemporary Camerich sofa. Upholstered in a soft linen-effect fabric with a stain-resistant Teflon finish, the sofa offers a beautiful balance of comfort, durability, and understated elegance. A bold Cubist artwork provides the focal point for the room, its layered geometry and earthy tones forming the foundation of the palette. Rich hues of rust and moss have been thoughtfully drawn from the piece and layered throughout the space—bringing warmth, depth, and a quiet vibrancy that feels entirely in tune with the room’s organic yet sophisticated feel. The floor lamp, also from Andrew Martin, introduces a softer, more fluid form. Its curvaceous silhouette gently references the rounded edges of the coffee table and the bouclé armchair in the opposite corner, adding a sense of balance and visual rhythm. The result is a space where contrasting forms and textures are thoughtfully harmonised—grounded in nature, yet refined in execution.

In spirit of the Haiku—a short Japanese poem—the subtlety of intersecting organic curves are asymmetrically set against the geometry of the surfaces of the luminous cube. Haiku is a Zen-like nod to the architecture of Tadao Ando.

This classic post-and-beam house sits on a ridge in the Riviera neighborhood of Santa Barbara, CA. With stunning views of Gibraltar Rock, Mission Canyon, and Cielito Overlook, the house’s original designers sited it perfectly and implemented an elegantly simple structural system based on a clear design vision. Unfortunately, several subsequent owners lacked that same clarity and made questionable remodeling choices based on passing style fads, effectively turning the house into something it was not and – most perplexing of all – turning their backs to the majesty of the surrounding mountains and valley. Working with the new owner, who saw through the noise of these misguided remodels, we set out to return the house to its roots and recreate its rhythmic geometry and interior flow. We added new wall-to-wall double sliding doors that open to the expansive northern views, bringing space and light to the living, dining, and kitchen areas and providing easy access to the surrounding natural environment. We also reconsidered the color palette and materials, simplified detailing and trim, and highlighted interior focal points such as the original slump block fireplace and newly remodeled kitchen. The house now entertains easily and provides a comfortable and gracious living space for its owner and guests.

The flawless beauty of geometry is showcased in the Modulum dining table, from the open circles in the tables base, to the curves of the top, to the straight lines on the bisecting planes. The table takes inspiration from midcentury modern styling. The look is relaxed and understated with clean lines, bright sophistication, and a fresh, effortless appeal. Building on the unique use of materials, form and intersecting planes, Modulum has a soft modern feel with chic, livable style. A sunbaked finish adds contrasting warmth and texture to smooth, semi-matte stone and shiny polished stainless steel. Minimalist forms and unadorned surfaces highlight the flawless beauty of geometric balance and sleek open frames, while fluted profiles have a hint of classicism. The collection is a study in juxtapositions, defined by layered material combinations and subtle drama. The look is relaxed and understated with clean lines, bright sophistication and a fresh, effortless appeal.

Set on Camelback Country Club with sweeping views to the golf course and surrounding peaks—Camelback, Piestewa, and Mummy Mountain—this Paradise Valley estate was designed with one clear priority: make the view the main event. Every line of the pool and landscape plan was meticulously composed to pull your eye outward, enhance the architecture, and create an atmosphere that feels singular to this property. The backyard is anchored by a custom resort-style pool and spa composition that reads like a modern water courtyard—clean geometry, natural stone surfaces, and layered water movement. Bubblers and deck jets add sound and sparkle without interrupting sightlines, while a low-profile fire element and lawn panels soften the hardscape and keep the space feeling livable, not just a showpiece. Beyond the resort core, the property expands into an estate-scale recreation zone, including a full sport court framed in stone paving, structured planting beds, and evening lighting that keeps the grounds active after sunset. The perimeter is finished with privacy hedging and layered plantings—lush, controlled, and intentionally quiet—so the mountains and fairways remain the star. This home set a record-breaking sale, closing $1M higher than any home north of DoubleTree, and it sold in a single day. The developer, builder, and buyer all echoed the same thing: the pool and landscape sold the home, and then the record number followed. It’s the kind of project that proves what we believe: when outdoor living is designed at the highest level, it doesn’t just complement a home—it defines it.

Designed by the homeowners themselves, this striking staircase rises through multiple levels with architectural precision. Dark-toned square balusters and newels create bold contrast against crisp white risers, while horizontal stainless steel rods maintain visual lightness. The brilliance lies in the interplay of angles, levels, textures, and natural light. Strategic design choices transform the staircase into more than a connector. It carves out cozy sunny nooks and creates focal points throughout the open floor plan, proving that thoughtful geometry can shape how a home feels and functions. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

Coastal Modern Farmhouse Flavin Architects designed a structure that inherits its silhouette from the New England farmhouse and orients itself to the adjacent wetlands. The elegance of its shape is an effect of an austere geometry. The cedar shingle cladding underneath the lines of the metal roof reinforces this sense of confident understatement. A screened porch looks over a gentle downslope and a stretch of verdant wetlands into Kettle Cove. The interior extends the sense of local inheritance with a cadence of heavy timber beams that cross a tongue-and-groove ceiling to meet exposed steel beams. This set up echoes the simple framing of local colonial homes. A wood-burning fireplace also evokes this history, and with its mantle of reclaimed railroad ties, and the raw edged monolithic hearth, creates a sense of organic relation to the surrounding landscape. The interior symmetry of our Kettle Cove Farmhouse is illuminated by a generous sweep of windows that face east toward the rising sun. Flavin Architects has created a sense of flow from the interior to the exterior of the house.

This visually simple, modern solution is unique within its suburban context, and gives this family the custom landscape of their dreams. The homeowners’ wish list included a modern design and clearly defined spaces: a larger dining patio, firepit patio, hot tub, and a 4-season sport court (which gets flooded for ice hockey in the winter). Circulation and screening were key in Ground One’s landscape design. A sport court could overwhelm the entire backyard, so it was raised three feet above the primary backyard to physically separate different spaces, and minimize its visual impact. Rectangular bluestone in a running bond pattern was used in all the gathering spaces (dining, firepit, hot tub). Bluestone walls reinforce a simple material palette. A larger dining patio was installed near the house for greater entertaining flexibility. Plank paver paths connect to a private hot tub area and allow kids to don hockey gear and enter the sport court without messing up the house. The firepit patio is at the back of the property, nestled into the existing hillside under a large oak and below the sport court terrace. Plantings reinforce the geometry of each gathering space, provide focal points, and create layers of screening and separation from any given vantage point. Hardy species were selected for their low-maintenance requirements and various seasons of interest. Landscape lighting was incorporated to provide way finding between the patios, accent various hardscape elements, and highlight the trees.

The identity of the exterior architecture is heavy, grounded, dark, and subtly reflective. The gabled geometries stack and shift to clearly identify he modest, covered entry portal.

At a basic level, designing a floorplan is an exercise in geometry. Rectangles are the most commonly used shape. But every now and then, you have to know when to break that rule. The Gettysburg includes a classic example of a well-placed non-rectangle. Note the angled wall that separates the great room from the kitchen. See how it makes the great room bigger and more interesting without taking any useful space from the kitchen? And that’s not the only smart idea you’ll find in this home. But it is the only place where we cut a corner. You can tour the beautiful Gettysburg model at the Sandusky and Portage offices. - See more at: http://waynehomes.com/plan/gettysburg#sthash.jSxCkTOK.dpuf
