Historically, South Pasadena, CA has been home to some of the world's most lavish architectural real estate properties. This equestrian style garage was retrofitted with with custom designed equestrian carriage house style garage doors that roll-up into the overhead like a regular steel sectional door. Milky seedy glass beautifully serve as a backdrop to the elegantly placed balusters that are used throughout the home's architectural features. The double car garage door is ingeniously simulating two sets of single car doors by using design techniques that fool the eye. Adding a center post in the middle of a two car garage door further accentuates the look of two sets of swing-open carriage doors. Your eyes will not believe it when the the door rolls up into the overhead. On a side note, these custom garage doors were handcrafted out of eco-sustainable materials and faux-painted by hand to give them the look of authentic rough-sawn wood. The goal in creating some of the most gorgeous garage doors in the nation is to design, craft and finish them in such a way that the garage doors blend in with the home's architecture and not overwhelm or compete with the existing architectural elements. Dynamic Garage Door is much more than a garage door company, we are a design firm with discernment for quality, integrity and classic beauty. Each of our project is carefully planned coordinated and expedited to perfection!

The landscape of this home honors the formality of Spanish Colonial / Santa Barbara Style early homes in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix. By re-grading the lot and allowing for terraced opportunities, we featured a variety of hardscape stone, brick, and decorative tiles that reinforce the eclectic Spanish Colonial feel. Cantera and La Negra volcanic stone, brick, natural field stone, and handcrafted Spanish decorative tiles are used to establish interest throughout the property. A front courtyard patio includes a hand painted tile fountain and sitting area near the outdoor fire place. This patio features formal Boxwood hedges, Hibiscus, and a rose garden set in pea gravel. The living room of the home opens to an outdoor living area which is raised three feet above the pool. This allowed for opportunity to feature handcrafted Spanish tiles and raised planters. The side courtyard, with stepping stones and Dichondra grass, surrounds a focal Crape Myrtle tree. One focal point of the back patio is a 24-foot hand-hammered wrought iron trellis, anchored with a stone wall water feature. We added a pizza oven and barbecue, bistro lights, and hanging flower baskets to complete the intimate outdoor dining space.

Designed and built exclusively for the prestigious Parade of Homes in Seven Oaks, this home is a stunning example of a Santa Barbara style residence. A double-gated circular, courtyard driveway welcomes you and immediately gives a sense of grand stature to the home. The exterior is comprised of stucco with tile roofing and flaunts numerous details and arches and ironwork to distinguish itself from others along the street. The home is an imposing 9,700 square feet, yet somehow manages to retain a sense of warmth about it. The master area is set off on the left wing of the lower floor, succeeding in creating a private, luxurious haven in both the cozy suite and the adjoining elegant spa. Near the center of the home, you find yourself enveloped in the magnificent Great Room in which you are surrounded by a ring of balconies from above. The upper floor boasts several more bedrooms, a guest suite, and a media room that provides an ideal setting for entertaining guests. With an outdoor living area, as well as an al fresco dining area, the rear of the house invites you to relax in somewhat of a resort-style backdrop, allowing you to enjoy the exquisite and tranquil beauty of the pool, or the amazing view of nature just beyond.

This project involved two driveway gates put up by the homeowners, one at the street, one in line with house to separate the back yard. They have young children and needed to ensure their safety when they're playing outside. We designed the Nero Latch for this project. The Nero is a lever gate latch, with the plate measuring 2.5"w x 5"h. Parts are made of stainless steel and aluminum, and everything is powder coated satin black.The latch is self-latching. The style of the latch lends itself to contemporary, traditional, and transitional projects. Photo: C Perham
