The rainwater catchment system was an exciting design challenge. In search of both form and function, we found the perfect combination in a Japanese design of rain chains and stone, which are traditionally used as decorative downspouts for temples and homes. Two copper rain chains hang from the front corners of the portico, guiding the cascading water from the roof into stone basins, which catch and channel the water into an underground drainage system.

Great room - tropical great room idea in Miami with white walls

We are proud to share with you an exciting cabinet project in Bellevue that involved both the kitchen and bathroom. The client desired a European style with sleek, modern aesthetics, and we were thrilled to bring their vision to life. In the kitchen, we installed stunning flat-panel cabinets that exude a contemporary charm. The upper cabinets reached all the way to the ceiling, optimizing storage space and providing a seamless, polished look. These upper cabinets not only offer ample storage but also add a touch of elegance to the entire kitchen. To further enhance functionality, we incorporated wide drawers into the design. These spacious drawers make organizing and accessing kitchen essentials a breeze. They provide a convenient and stylish solution for storing utensils, cookware, and other items. For the finishes, we employed a combination of light and dark tones to create a striking contrast. The light finishes brought an airy and open feel to the space, while the dark finishes added depth and sophistication. This harmonious interplay of colors created a visually appealing and modern atmosphere in the kitchen. In the bathroom, we continued the European influence with floating cabinets. These cabinets, devoid of visible legs or support, create a sleek and minimalist look while maximizing floor space. The floating design also makes cleaning a breeze, as there are no obstacles or obstructions to maneuver around. The end result was a beautiful and functional space that seamlessly blended modern aesthetics with practicality.#europeanstylecabinets #modernkitchen #floatingvanity #flatdesign #seattlecabinets #moderndesigns

Large farmhouse black two-story mixed siding exterior home idea in San Francisco

San Marino based clients were interested in developing a property that had been in their family for generations. This was an exciting proposition as it was one of the last surviving bayside double lots on the scenic Coronado peninsula in San Diego. They desired a holiday home that would be a gathering place for their large, close- knit family. San Marino based clients were interested in developing a property that had been in their family for generations. This was an exciting proposition as it was one of the last surviving bayside double lots on the scenic Coronado peninsula in San Diego. They desired a holiday home that would be a gathering place for their large, close-knit family. Facing the Back Bay, overlooking downtown and the Bay Bridge, this property presented us with a unique opportunity to design a vacation home with a dual personality. One side faces a bustling harbor with a constant parade of yachts, cargo vessels and military ships while the other opens onto a deep, quiet contemplative garden. The home’s shingle-style influence carries on the historical Coronado tradition of clapboard and Craftsman bungalows built in the shadow of the great Hotel Del Coronado which was erected at the turn of the last century. In order to create an informal feel to the residence, we devised a concept that eliminated the need for a “front door”. Instead, one walks through the garden and enters the “Great Hall” through either one of two French doors flanking a walk-in stone fireplace. Both two-story bedroom wings bookend this central wood beam vaulted room which serves as the “heart of the home”, and opens to both views. Three sets of stairs are discretely tucked away inside the bedroom wings. In lieu of a formal dining room, the family convenes and dines around a beautiful table and banquette set into a circular window bay off the kitchen which overlooks the lights of the city beyond the harbor. Working with noted interior designer Betty Ann Marshall, we designed a unique kitchen that was inspired by the colors and textures of a fossil the couple found on a honeymoon trip to the quarries of Montana. We set that ancient fossil into a matte glass backsplash behind the professional cook’s stove. A warm library with walnut paneling and a bayed window seat affords a refuge for the family to read or play board games. The couple’s fine craft and folk art collection is on prominent display throughout the house and helps to set an intimate and whimsical tone. Another architectural feature devoted to family is the play room lit by a dramatic cupola which beacons the older grandchildren and their friends. Below the play room is a four car garage that allows the patriarch space to refurbish an antique fire truck, a mahogany launch boat and several vintage cars. Their jet skis and kayaks are housed in another garage designed for that purpose. Lattice covered skylights that allow dappled sunlight to bathe the loggia affords a comfortable refuge to watch the kids swim and gaze out upon the rushing water, the Coronado Bay Bridge and the romantic downtown San Diego skyline.

3d rendering of a modern in home interior design production office space! A repurposed bedroom, transitioned with a cased opening closet , showcasing tools, materials, and accents used in the interior design and the production of their presentation. The new design features varying table top workspace on wheels which allows this furniture to double as rolling carts for the arrival or delivery of hard to handle merchandise, can be transported to set up table top workspace on project site, and can easily be moved around the room to accommodate the changing storage needs of inventory for new projects! Lots of great light fixtures provide ample lighting needed throughout this office. These fixtures include several wall sconces, which provide efficient light for viewing project display boards, the shelving units are translucent and allow some light to penetrate through them which is provided from the string lights hidden by the translucent side walls and a back wall, and a recessed overhead florescent fixture over the work desk area. For the walls we decided a streamlined stained wood pattern keeps this room simple, professional and gives the project designer the ability to remain focused, with out personal impressionable décor influences. The molding, the doors, and window casing and their finishes simply coincide with the rest of the downstairs theme. I emailed this rendition of the office space to my client and she now owns a complete illustration she can present to her contractors for bidding, show friends and family her exciting new future office and begin her project with realistic expectations of the finished product.
