Choosing 12x24 white tiles, placed vertically, crafts continuous lines that pull your gaze upwards, giving your shower a more spacious feel. This arrangement is perfect for achieving a modern, stylish look that's both refined and professional. The understated white tiles act as a brilliant backdrop for the eye-catching black subway tile centerpiece, highlighting the intricate herringbone pattern. The central feature of black subway tiles, arranged in a herringbone pattern, injects a dash of fun sophistication, breaking up any potential monotony with its complex design. This striking contrast not only heightens the visual appeal but also brings a sense of dynamism and depth to the space. The herringbone pattern, renowned for its enduring elegance, ensures your shower stays both fashionable and timeless. By blending these elements, you're crafting a shower space that's not just practical, but a genuine piece of art, radiating confidence and style in every detail.

A heightened experience to study and implement light strategies that will be put onto this most exclusive property highlighting Japanese Maple trees over a hundred years old. Such intensive care and love for the property with areas of Zen and meditation. The light intent complements each area in mood and harmony, It was interesting to watch tree specialists that were retained to prune these majestic beauties into Bonsai formations. The attention of detail over the past forty years to manicure these grounds elevated my acumen to do a superb job illuminating each and every focal plant on the property, the areas with specific moods in mind, and finalize with a creative all inclusive scene.

The concept for this project was to reveal the sensation of an active, living landscape in flux and echo the vitality and energy of the wetland that comprises much of this rural site. A mosaic of shifting concrete slabs, set in a field of limestone bands and chip seal, flows through screens of bamboo, set in motion by the slightest breeze. The implied motion of the ground plane blurs the boundary where the terrace and parking court meet, serving the dual purpose of expanded entertaining area or overflow parking during large gatherings. The clipped formal hedge that folds around the house and delineates the lawn stands in stark opposition to the unrestrained hemlock forest that envelops the property, heightening the contrast between the two. The shifting planes of the boardwalk entrance connects these volumes, defining the primary visual and functional axes of the site. Scott Carman

When we call this kitchen, dining area and bathroom "Tiny but Luxe," we mean it literally: this kitchen is a walk-through galley that's hardly more than 125 square feet, and the bathroom is quite small as well. So in order to make this tiny home feel more spacious, we opened the wall to the living room to allow light to flow through the living spaces to the dining nook, and over the new peninsula we designed a custom wine rack to create a differentiation of spaces. With a carefully heightened archway between the nook and kitchen, and a new matching arched opening between kitchen and living space, there is a beautiful, and natural openness now even as we were careful to delineate the spaces. A custom banquette in a beautiful hunter green and gorgeous wallpaper draw the eye to the dining area, and also create a feeling of a larger space.

Joe Fletcher Atop a ridge in the Santa Lucia mountains of Carmel, California, an oak tree stands elevated above the fog and wrapped at its base in this ranch retreat. The weekend home’s design grew around the 100-year-old Valley Oak to form a horseshoe-shaped house that gathers ridgeline views of Oak, Madrone, and Redwood groves at its exterior and nestles around the tree at its center. The home’s orientation offers both the shade of the oak canopy in the courtyard and the sun flowing into the great room at the house’s rear façades. This modern take on a traditional ranch home offers contemporary materials and landscaping to a classic typology. From the main entry in the courtyard, one enters the home’s great room and immediately experiences the dramatic westward views across the 70 foot pool at the house’s rear. In this expansive public area, programmatic needs flow and connect - from the kitchen, whose windows face the courtyard, to the dining room, whose doors slide seamlessly into walls to create an outdoor dining pavilion. The primary circulation axes flank the internal courtyard, anchoring the house to its site and heightening the sense of scale by extending views outward at each of the corridor’s ends. Guest suites, complete with private kitchen and living room, and the garage are housed in auxiliary wings connected to the main house by covered walkways. Building materials including pre-weathered corrugated steel cladding, buff limestone walls, and large aluminum apertures, and the interior palette of cedar-clad ceilings, oil-rubbed steel, and exposed concrete floors soften the modern aesthetics into a refined but rugged ranch home.

Kitchen update/redesign. The goal with this kitchen was to unite both rooms, visually heighten the ceilings and to make the room feel inviting, interesting and larger. We accomplished this by neutralizing the walls and ceilings in both rooms. The original soffits were reduced and pushed back to the cabinets, trimmed and painted to match the cabinets and new can lights were placed in the ceiling. The before photo of the kitchen shows a hint of what the old soffits looked like. They originally extended about a foot beyond and in front of the cabinets. The original soffits were housing can lights. Because they lights were physically lower than the ceiling, the ceiling height felt right on top of you. By pushing back the soffits and installing the lights into the ceiling the room now feels much bigger and taller. We added visual weight and interest to the eat-in area and balanced both rooms. The beautiful outdoors is now framed with new sliding doors which replaced the bay window in the before shot. Using a dark color to frame the outside of the sliding doors lengthens the room and draws interest and visual weight to the eat-in side of the Kitchen. This kitchen and owner were truly a delight to work with. Gary G. Schempp www.garygschempp.com
