Gas fireplace inserts are designed to be placed inside an existing masonry fireplace and uses the existing fireplace and chimney to hold the unit and support venting. A gas fireplace insert transforms an old wood fireplace into a high-efficiency gas heater that uses either natural gas or propane and many are eligible for local government rebates.

A vanishing edge pool and waterfall are focal points for a constraint-driven project governed by a wetlands and associated no-build zone, extensive rock outcrops, steep slopes, and a small, tough-to-access work area. A team of consultants was required in order to obtain variances and other approvals across multiple agencies and meetings. The end result is a beautiful outdoor living space that expresses the architecture and utility of the owner's home into a highwater garden for relaxation and enjoyment.

On a quiet cul-de-sac not too far from downtown San Luis Obispo lies the contemporary craftsman styled Clausen Residence. The challenges that accompanied this project were what, in the end, made it so interesting. The buildable area of the site is very small due to the fact that almost half of the property is occupied by a biological open space easement, established to protect the creek that runs behind the lot. In addition to this, the site is incredibly steep, which lent itself well to a stair stepped 3-story floor plan. Strict height restrictions set by the local jurisdiction governed the decision to bury the garage in the hill, and set the main living space on top of it, accompanied by the children’s bedrooms and game room further back on the site. The 3rd floor is occupied fully by the master suite, which looks down on the back yard below. Off of the great room is a vast deck, with built in barbecue, fire place and heaters, ideal for outdoor entertaining year round. The house, adorned in lap siding and true craftsman details is flanked by gorgeous oak trees and the creek beyond.

CALIFORNIA: Neoclassicism in the kitchen; a blend of contemporary and charm; a luxury kitchen flaunting an ambience rich with history and to be admired, able to bring to life refined designs, the styles of your dreams, which go one step further than current trends, whilst providing you with that pleasant sense of exclusivity. Elegance, resulting from the merger of contemporary design and hints of the past; the framed door is given a modern edge thanks to the new shapes and novel materials governing designs, such as the colored varnish that stains without masking the grain of the ash wood, making it even more precious and dynamic.

There's nothing like a red door to punctuate an exterior. However, this is not a "one size fits all" Feng Shui fix. For example, if your door was in the East, you would be symbolically "burning up your health" by painting your door red, because the East is governed by the Wood element.

A 3,014 sq ft home on a 7,000 sq ft hillside lot on Laveta Terrace in Echo Park. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms across two storeys, with mountain views from the primary bath. The house runs on a black and white palette, held from the entry through to the bathrooms. Custom grey cabinetry with vertical storage, an undermount sink and white subway tile in the kitchen. Grey mosaic tile under a walnut floating vanity in the primary bath — the walnut is one of the few warm notes in the house, and it's used sparingly. A single palette across a whole house is harder than it looks: every material has to be chosen against the same two references, and there is nowhere to hide a near-miss. Bi-fold doors open the living room to the outside. A structural pillar left exposed to anchor the room rather than buried inside a wall. Echo Park sits inside the City of Los Angeles, so plan check runs through LADBS — with hillside grading rules that govern how much house a lot like this can carry. Built by Go Home Builders — CSLB License #1076807, Altadena, CA.

When Valerie McGovern retired from the Air Force, she had 23 years worth of household items gathered from her military travels to fit into her modestly sized home in historical Fredricksburg, VA. “Getting the most out of the space I had was priority one,” said the airman turned successful artist. So after seeing pictures of a wall mounted sliding door project, the ambitious DIYer did research to see if she could install them in her home.

20 Fabulous Pool Designs Under 600 sq feet of Water Surface Area Custom pools are a much-desired amenity in Southern Nevada, however in accordance with the 2022 water use ordinance, new residential pools may NOT exceed 600 sq ft of water surface area. The square footage includes a total of the pool, spa, and any infinity-edge troughs where applicable. And, there is also a ban on independent water features. Paragon Pools’ VP & Chief Design Executive Joseph A Vassallo, CBP provides 20 pool designs under 600sq ft as an inspiration for homeowners. Excerpt from the SNWA website: Residential pool size limits Ongoing drought and climate change conditions continue to affect water levels in Lake Mead – Southern Nevada's primary water supply. As a result, the federal government declared a shortage on the Colorado River, reducing Southern Nevada's available water supply by 8.1 billion gallons, and additional reductions are expected in the coming years. To help manage these water supply constraints, the Southern Nevada Water Authority approved a resolution in July 2022 that supports a 600-square-foot surface area limit on new residential pools. The Las Vegas Valley Water District and other local jurisdictions approved this change shortly thereafter with rule and code changes. This measure will help reduce consumptive water use associated with evaporative water loss, targeting savings from the top 25 percent of new pools constructed.
