Centered within the dining room, the substantial pedestal table establishes a sculptural presence while eliminating hard edges and intrusive legs for a softer, more fluid aesthetic. Above, a striking LED brass pendant introduces a sense of modern geometry, creating an artistic focal point that anchors the space. Textured navy wallpaper with a subtle stone effect accents the wall with depth and sophistication, seamlessly coordinating with the custom area rug and tailored swivel chairs. A thoughtfully integrated pass-through between the kitchen and dining room enhances functionality for entertaining while reinforcing the home’s open, connected flow.

The Coastal Modern Luxury project by Calimingo Pools reimagines outdoor living through a refined blend of clean architectural lines and relaxed coastal elegance. Designed to complement Dana Point’s ocean-inspired surroundings, this luxury pool features a harmonious balance of modern materials, crisp geometry, and serene water elements. Every detail is thoughtfully curated to create a sophisticated yet inviting retreat—where contemporary design meets the timeless beauty of coastal living.

For this extensive gut renovation in the East Village, the goal was to inject a small, functional bathroom with high-energy personality and bold spatial defining. We achieved this through a dramatic two-tone, color-blocked tile application, featuring a vibrant ultramarine blue wainscoting that lowers the visual height and frames the space. This is balanced by a zellige-inspired textural white tile above, adding depth and artisanal warmth. The true centerpiece is the custom, coral-pink concrete vanity, which offers a soft, sculptural contrast to the angular geometry. Layered with mustard yellow and white striped textiles and custom, patterned rugs, the resulting space feels playful, confident, and deeply reflective of its storied neighborhood.

Kitchen - contemporary kitchen idea in San Diego

What does a designer do if you have client who loves color, loves mid-century, loves to cook and has a busy home life.....MAKE AN AMAZING KITCHEN~ Featuring Signature Custom Cabinetry in 4 colors, doors with mirror inserts, doors with metal union jack inserts, walnut trim, shelves, and wood top, custom color Blue Star french door ovens and custom Heath oval tile~ To add a little extra geometry to the floors, we took a standard 24" square tile and cut half of them into triangles and designed the floor to show the additional texture!

The LED mirror has a stylish appearance, functional illumination and energy efficiency. The clean simple lines of the open vanity has easily accessible storage. The solid surface top is seamless with a fully integrated sink. The 12 x 18 wall tile creates a subtle tactile geometry and a contrast to the color, texture and pattern of the black 4 x 8 accent tile, both in harmony with the matte floor tile.

Set in prime Scottsdale, this luxury outdoor retreat features a raised spa, a fully equipped outdoor bar, and a sculptural waterfall feature that defines the space with movement and serenity. Designed by Shearon Design Collective, the space combines modern geometry with warm materiality, balancing sleek finishes with the soft textures of the desert landscape. The layout encourages flow between spa, lounge, and entertainment areas—creating a personalized outdoor experience that feels both elevated and grounded. This project embodies the essence of refined outdoor living in the Sonoran Southwest.

I built this on my property for my aging father who has some health issues. Handicap accessibility was a factor in design. His dream has always been to try retire to a cabin in the woods. This is what he got. It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a great room. It is 600 sqft of AC space. The footprint is 40' x 26' overall. The site was the former home of our pig pen. I only had to take 1 tree to make this work and I planted 3 in its place. The axis is set from root ball to root ball. The rear center is aligned with mean sunset and is visible across a wetland. The goal was to make the home feel like it was floating in the palms. The geometry had to simple and I didn't want it feeling heavy on the land so I cantilevered the structure beyond exposed foundation walls. My barn is nearby and it features old 1950's "S" corrugated metal panel walls. I used the same panel profile for my siding. I ran it vertical to match the barn, but also to balance the length of the structure and stretch the high point into the canopy, visually. The wood is all Southern Yellow Pine. This material came from clearing at the Babcock Ranch Development site. I ran it through the structure, end to end and horizontally, to create a seamless feel and to stretch the space. It worked. It feels MUCH bigger than it is. I milled the material to specific sizes in specific areas to create precise alignments. Floor starters align with base. Wall tops adjoin ceiling starters to create the illusion of a seamless board. All light fixtures, HVAC supports, cabinets, switches, outlets, are set specifically to wood joints. The front and rear porch wood has three different milling profiles so the hypotenuse on the ceilings, align with the walls, and yield an aligned deck board below. Yes, I over did it. It is spectacular in its detailing. That's the benefit of small spaces. Concrete counters and IKEA cabinets round out the conversation. For those who cannot live tiny, I offer the Tiny-ish House.

In the past this house had been at the heart of a busy farm. The function of the property has long since changed but it yet remains someone’s home. The challenge is to retrofit existing farm buildings, and the surrounding landscape, to better reflect both the different lifestyle and needs of the present owners. At the back of the farmhouse slopes have been modified to accommodate terraces, gardens and pathways linking through them. View sheds have been emphasized to showcase the property and the landscape filled with four seasons of interest. The geometry of the hard-scaping (walls, stairs, and walkways) is softened by the addition of lush plant material selected for both textural and colour qualities (evergreen, flowering and foliage). This view includes Smooth Viburnum (Viburnum nudum ‘Winterthur’), Purple Smokebush (Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’), Mellow Yellow Spiraea (Spiraea thunbergii ‘Ogon’), and Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia).
