Inspiration for a transitional bathroom remodel in New York
SV Design
A desire for a more modern and zen-like environment in a historical, turn of the century stone and stucco house was the drive and challenge for this sophisticated Siemasko + Verbridge Interiors project. Along with a fresh color palette, new furniture is woven with antiques, books, and artwork to enliven the space. Carefully selected finishes enhance the openness of the glass pool structure, without competing with the grand ocean views. Thoughtfully designed cabinetry and family friendly furnishings, including a kitchenette, billiard area, and home theater, were designed for both kids and adults.

Dynamic Garage Door
Los Angeles, CA - Pedestrian gates provide security, access control and why not? - Beauty! Dynamic Garage Door of California custom designs architectural pedestrian gates such as these contemporary entry gates with sidelights that enhance the architectural essence of this contemporary estate. The solid wood swing gates with their chrome handles soften the slick surface of the stainless steel sidelights with their frosted glass inserts that make a bold modern statement. Equipped with an electrical strike, these gates can remotely be activated to allow entry to the estate at the push of a button inside the living quarters. Because Dynamic Garage Door understands that style cannot be compromised for security we design and build the most secure enabled gates that are architecturally designed to add curb appeal instead of hindering the style of the home in question. Call us and get a design consultation, we would love to custom manufacture your next architectural pedestrian gate project.

Modern glass house set in the landscape evokes a midcentury vibe. A modern gas fireplace divides the living area with a polished concrete floor from the greenhouse with a gravel floor. The frame is painted steel with aluminum sliding glass door. The front features a green roof with native grasses and the rear is covered with a glass roof.

Klopf Architecture
Klopf Architecture, Arterra Landscape Architects and Henry Calvert of Calvert Ventures Designed and built a new warm, modern, Eichler-inspired, open, indoor-outdoor home on a deeper-than-usual San Mateo Highlands property where an original Eichler house had burned to the ground.
The owners wanted multi-generational living and larger spaces than the original home offered, but all parties agreed that the house should respect the neighborhood and blend in stylistically with the other Eichlers. At first the Klopf team considered re-using what little was left of the original home and expanding on it. But after discussions with the owner and builder, all parties agreed that the last few remaining elements of the house were not practical to re-use, so Klopf Architecture designed a new home that pushes the Eichler approach in new directions.
One disadvantage of Eichler production homes is that the house designs were not optimized for each specific lot. A new custom home offered the team a chance to start over. In this case, a longer house that opens up sideways to the south fit the lot better than the original square-ish house that used to open to the rear (west). Accordingly, the Klopf team designed an L-shaped “bar” house with a large glass wall with large sliding glass doors that faces sideways instead of to the rear like a typical Eichler. This glass wall opens to a pool and landscaped yard designed by Arterra Landscape Architects.
Driving by the house, one might assume at first glance it is an Eichler because of the horizontality, the overhanging flat roof eaves, the dark gray vertical siding, and orange solid panel front door, but the house is designed for the 21st Century and is not meant to be a “Likeler.” You won't see any posts and beams in this home. Instead, the ceiling decking is a western red cedar that covers over all the beams. Like Eichlers, this cedar runs continuously from inside to out, enhancing the indoor / outdoor feeling of the house, but unlike Eichlers it conceals a cavity for lighting, wiring, and insulation. Ceilings are higher, rooms are larger and more open, the master bathroom is light-filled and more generous, with a separate tub and shower and a separate toilet compartment, and there is plenty of storage. The garage even easily fits two of today's vehicles with room to spare.
A massive 49-foot by 12-foot wall of glass and the continuity of materials from inside to outside enhance the inside-outside living concept, so the owners and their guests can flow freely from house to pool deck to BBQ to pool and back.
During construction in the rough framing stage, Klopf thought the front of the house appeared too tall even though the house had looked right in the design renderings (probably because the house is uphill from the street). So Klopf Architecture paid the framer to change the roofline from how we had designed it to be lower along the front, allowing the home to blend in better with the neighborhood. One project goal was for people driving up the street to pass the home without immediately noticing there is an "imposter" on this lot, and making that change was essential to achieve that goal.
This 2,606 square foot, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom Eichler-inspired new house is located in San Mateo in the heart of the Silicon Valley.

The new house sits back from the suburban road, a pipe-stem lot hidden in the trees. The owner/building had requested a modern, clean statement of his residence.
A single rectangular volume houses the main program: living, dining, kitchen to the north, garage, private bedrooms and baths to the south. Secondary building blocks attached to the west and east faces contain special places: entry, stair, music room and master bath.
The double height living room with full height corner windows erodes the solidity of the house, opening it to the outside. The porch, beyond the living room, stretches the house into the landscape, the transition anchored with the double-fronted fireplace.
The modern vocabulary of the house is a careful delineation of the parts - cantilevering roofs lift and extend beyond the planar stucco, siding and glazed wall surfaces. Where the house meets ground, crushed stone along the perimeter base mimics the roof lines above, the sharply defined edges of lawn held away from the foundation. The open steel stair stands separate from adjacent walls. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets are objects in space - visually (and where possible, physically) disengaged from ceiling, wall and floor.
It's the movement through the volumes of space, along surfaces, and out into the landscape, that unifies the house.

Located in the one of the most sought after streets in Burleigh heads this holiday home conveys a nautical feel and boasts spectacular views of
the Gold Coast hinterland. The clients have always had a strong desire to create a
holiday home that encouraged a sense of relaxed living where by the days would be gentle
and slow. After residing in the US for several years the clients became admirers of homes in the New England region and in particular the Hamptons. They
loved the American take on modern English country, and of equal appeal was the classic
Hampton beach lifestyle of carefree summers spent sailing, swimming, boating and fishing.
While they certainly appreciate the clean line and form of contemporary living they are
familiar with in Singapore, when deciding to renovate their family beach house on the gold
coast they knew they wanted to recreate that same effortless elegance and style they were
drawn to in the Hamptons and combine it with the relaxed familiarity of Australian living. In
their words they wanted to create a home that was “luxurious but never too perfect”.
Central to the brief was also the need to satisfy their enthusiastic and demanding
gourmands. Not only do they enjoy everything about cooking but also love entertaining
especially during the holiday seasons with Christmas and Thanksgiving (an American
tradition they quickly became accustomed to) being their favourite times to celebrate.
Whether it’s a casual meal with family and friends or a more formal gathering, the kitchen
had to function and withstand a great deal of activity.
Our challenge was to bring to fruition the clients very definite vision for their home and this
thereby presenting us with an ambitious design and renovation project encompassing a
large portion of the home. With the kitchen such being such a focal point in the house our
task was to orchestrate a space that would be elegant yet comfortable and that required the
successful marriage of the design elements for their desired style of interior.
Transforming the space.
Small, cramped and unbalanced the original kitchen was positioned on a platform - along
with the dinning and master bedroom. The original galley kitchen consisted of a full wall of
tall cabinetry which boxed in what was already a narrow kitchen.
To pave the way for a larger and more spacious design sought after by the clients the
southern end of the existing platform was extended in length, walls adjoining the hallway
were modified and the opening in the opposing wall closed off. The original laundry on the
lower platform which backed onto the kitchen via a hallway was completely redesigned to
make way for a new butlers pantry and as requested by the client to house the large Eline
Electrolux fridges (required for entertaining). On the lower platform the original opening to
the old laundry (no longer required) was also closed off and a new cavity slider entry was cut into the pantry from the kitchen to provide easy and functional access. A new landing was
built to bring the storage area of the pantry up to the same level as the kitchen. A “pass
through” was created to connect the pantry to the kitchen and dining room, providing easy
and functional access to the utility room.
The exposed rafters and existing ceiling in both the new kitchen and pantry areas were
sheeted in to allow for a new and more effective and functional lighting layout.
The conversion of the laundry to allow for a separate pantry and to house the new large
fridges (a specific request from the client) was a key aspect to the design as this allowed us
to maximise the feeling of space and include large open bench space either side of what
was already a narrow galley kitchen. Here the Calacutta marble benchtops selected for their
character look lavish and add clean lines to the design. In keeping with the desire to create a
sense of calm, elements of balance and symmetry were incorporated into the design and on
the cooking (western) wall a large induction cooktop and custom made rangehood cladded
in Queensland Cedar veneer was centred and is a key architectural element.
The protruded moulding ‘shaker door’ cabinetry further enhance the rooms character and
glass front overhead cabinets amplify light and bring the coastal aesthetics into play. All
overhead doors are fitted with Blum HF Aventos Servo Drive to ensure functional and
ergonomic use in this narrow space.
To store the households extensive collection of kitchen utensils, large platters and crockery,
generous storage by way of drawers was incorporated in to the kitchen.
With the large fridges placed in the pantry as per the clients request, an under bench
integrated fridge was positioned in the main kitchen to allow for the storage of everyday
necessities.
On the opposing (eastern) wall the white ceramic butlers sink is another focal point for the
Hampton style kitchen and the ‘Provence’ tap balances with the scale of the kitchen and
complements the overall design.
A convenient custom made ‘built in’ butchers block was a must have for the client and
provides the ideal prep area. The mixed Australian hardwood complements the other natural
timber elements including the new Tasmanian oak solid timber flooring and provides textural
balance in this timeless interior.
Below the butchers block, two Queensland Cedar solid timber trays boast the family emblem
and Initials to mark the kitchens exclusivity and further personalises the kitchen.
Interest and texture.
The earth and sea colour scheme is in keeping with the neutral pallet and softness in the
rest of the home and mimic the hues from both the seaside and the views beyond. Careful
attention was given to the layering of these earthy shades, tones and textures to ensure the
space had unity and depth – a necessary consideration for such a neutral pallet. An example
of this is the marbled tiled splashback. Two variations of the tiles (honed and antique
brushed) were sourced and cut to size and randomly placed in a brickwork pattern to create
visual interest and be less predictable at eye level.
The end result.
The resulting kitchen is certainly one of the most show stopping features of the home with its
bespoke fit out entirely geared to delivering a functional workspace dedicated to the sheer
enjoyment of entertaining and cooking. The effortlessly stylish design and timeless finish
transcends to fit this Australian home and the relaxed vibe this family was so eager to create
for their holiday beach house.
