We built this architectural, multi-level deck with central screen porch as a retreat for the homeowners, and a haven to play with their grandchildren, with a long slide. It is nestled in a cluster of trees, and is virtually invisible from outside the space. Photo by Dave Stockdale

This playroom space was created with plenty of room for the grandparents to play along side their two grandchildren. The picnic benches push under the table when floor space is needed. The table top was stripped and stained to match the wainscot, and all of the toys are stored away on shelves and cubbies

Basement - traditional basement idea in New York

Converted Furniture Factory Condo by Debra Poppen Designs of Ada, MI || The owners enjoy visits by their many grandchildren, so they wanted to have a space reserved just for them. This room is energized by a colorful striped rug and playful fish print pillows.

Our clients needed a space for their grandchildren to play, so our team converted an existing bedroom into a coastal cottage playroom. The color palette consists of coastal beach colors of driftwood; alabaster; aqua, ivory and kiwi. The cedar wainscot was stained weathered gray to mimic the color of driftwood

For this project in Alamo, we shepherded the transition of a traditional California Ranch house into a clean modern home for our clients, empty nesters who love to entertain. Within an interior envelope of all-white walls and newly-elevated ceilings, a limited palette of materials consisting of warm oak floors and cabinetry combined with warm neutrals and soft grays, feels like a breath of fresh air and allows the greenery outside the many windows to play a leading role in the color scheme. The furnishings, including custom upholstered furnishings by Hardesty Dwyer, are comfortable and “bulletproof” to accommodate the couple’s six lively grandchildren. In the vaulted great-room, a large family table is the heart of the home. It is here that the couple regularly hosts Sunday dinners with their children and grandchildren.

This kitchen is from the entry door into the main walkway leading to the den and dining room table. Hosting grandchildren and the entire family at any time. A cozy welcoming area to sit, chat, play and eat.

Only a month after installation, the new succulent garden is filling in around the flagstone pathway. Near it, we created a small lawn of a drought tolerant grass, where the grandchildren can play. Actual Art Landscape designed this yard, which was installed by Cornerstone Landscapes of Santa Barbara.
