Tranquil luxury in a beautiful and vibrant community - the Sequoia is the perfect home!

This "Palatial Villa" is an architectural statement, amidst a sprawling country setting. An elegant, modern revival of the Spanish Tudor style, the high-contrast white stucco and black details pop against the natural backdrop.
Round and segmental arches lend an air of European antiquity, and fenestrations are placed providently, to capture picturesque views for the occupants. Massive glass sliding doors and modern high-performance, low-e windows, bathe the interior with natural light and at the same time increase efficiency, with the highest-rated air-leakage and water-penetration resistance.
Inside, the lofty ceilings, rustic beam detailing, and wide-open floor-plan inspire a vast feel. Patterned repetition of dark wood and iron elements unify the interior design, creating a dynamic contrast with the white, plaster faux-finish walls.
A high-efficiency furnace, heat pump, heated floors, and Control 4 automated environmental controls ensure occupant comfort and safety. The kitchen, wine cellar, and adjoining great room flow naturally into an outdoor entertainment area. A private gym and his-and-hers offices round out a long list of luxury amenities.
With thoughtful design and the highest quality craftsmanship in every detail, Palatial Villa stands out as a gleaming jewel, set amongst charming countryside environs.

Set in the heart of Virginia wine country, Valley View Cottage was created as a place for guests to disconnect from daily life and reconnect with close friends and family. The brand was intentionally built at the intersection of Blue Ridge mountain terrain and elevated residential comfort, blending natural depth with refined ease.
We anchored the environment in deep blues to reflect the surrounding landscape and layered warm neutrals to create intimacy and welcome. Every detail was curated to move the experience beyond a place to sleep. This property was designed to evoke a feeling. In a saturated short term rental market, guests do not choose square footage. They choose emotion.
Through intentional brand positioning, cohesive storytelling, and thoughtful design execution, Valley View Cottage increased perceived value, strengthened its visual identity, and elevated the overall guest experience. The result was higher quality bookings, stronger guest reviews, justified premium nightly rates, and a growing social media presence driven by a space that photographs beautifully.
This project demonstrates how a short term rental can operate as boutique hospitality. When strategy and atmosphere align, a STR becomes more than accommodation. It becomes an experience guests remember and return to.

We recently completed a custom 6 ft cedar privacy fence installation for a homeowner in the Seattle area.
The goal was to replace an old, worn-out fence with a clean, modern design that provides full privacy, durability, and long-term value. We removed the existing fence, installed new pressure-treated posts rated for ground contact, and built a strong, level structure using high-quality cedar pickets.
This type of fence not only improves the look of the property, but also adds security and increases home value.
At PNW Craft Construction, we focus on clean work, solid structure, and long-lasting results. Every project is built to handle the Pacific Northwest weather.
If you're thinking about installing or replacing a fence, feel free to reach out — we offer free estimates and fast scheduling.

In Spring 2026, homebuyers in Houston are increasingly looking for one-bedroom condos due to a shift towards a more balanced, buyer-friendly market. With rising inventory and stabilizing mortgage rates, many buyers are choosing one-bedroom units as an accessible entry point into homeownership, allowing them to build equity rather than paying rent. Whilst one-bedroom units are often considered to be compact and have a small footprint, that is not always the case. One-bedroom condominiums at The Parklane range in size from 825 sq. Ft. To 1,310 sq. Ft. and all of the residences have at least one private balcony.

With a double panel of multi-colored Indian Rajah slate, the Nojoqui Falls Double fountain creates a display that is irresistible to the eye and combines a sound that is soothing to the ear. Capturing the raw beauty of its namesake, the beautiful 164 foot Nojoqui Falls near Solvang, California, our fountain combines natural elements with modern technology to bring nature's majesty to your living room. Nearly five feet tall and over four feet wide, this wall mounted fountain makes its presence felt in your home or office.
These water fountains feature your choice of four contemporary finishes framing double panels of Rajah slate layered onto lightweight composite material. The fountain is made with a splash-free design and features LED lighting to bring even more attention to the water falling past the slate. An adjustable flow valve allows you to adjust the rate of the falling water based on your mood, from a tranquil, calming curtain to a torrential cascade. Even with these features, installation is still a breeze, with no special tools. For truly unique and functional decorations, our indoor water fountains are beyond compare.
This water fountain can be customized with your logo.
NSI Slate™ – Water fountains made with our NSI™ Slate use our patent pending technology which sheers a layer of genuine Indian Raja Slate and fuses it to composite material with the same chipped edge technique as slab slate. They are indistinguishable from a thick slab of slate. All the beauty is retained and the weight is reduced by over 90% making it easier to hang a wall fountain.
*Please note that these units are handmade and measurements may vary slightly. Texture and color of the copper and slate may also vary slightly with each fountain.
