When Tom and Michelle Stien decided to remodel their kitchen, they chose Advance Design Studio to make it happen. They were looking for an innovative design that would open up an awkward wall, and we're hoping to remove some half walls that closed off their family room. "Of all the people we had come and give us quotes for our project, ADS/Scott, was the only one who came in with an idea right off the bat for what we could do. His knowledge of design and code was evident from the start," said the Stiens. The new design increased the seating area with a large peninsula, and the cooking area was expanded to accommodate Tom's cooking skills. A warming drawer was incorporated beneath a nearly hidden microwave drawer, along with a clever pull out for increased pantry storage. A built in message board area was custom designed for kids art and family communication. Roll out trays grace every base cabinet for easy pull out storage and a single floating shelf ties the contemporary kitchen design together. Starlight quartz countertops create ease of clean up, and the look is finished off with sharp gray and white mosaic backsplash tiles. The Stiens really liked a clean modern look, so the new crisp transitional kitchen design incorporated bright white shaker cabinetry from Medallion with gray and metal accents along with a modern feel. "Scott's presentation of what we could expect with ADS was clear and concise. He gave us a great deal of confidence in how the project would be handled". Homeowners are frequently concerned about project budgets that get quickly get out of control. "Scott's quote was well thought out, organized and offered options based on our budget," said Michelle. "I was worried about the project budget changing as we went through the process, but they did a good job managing the situation and minimized change orders as much as possible." When asked about their overall experience with their kitchen renovation he Stien's said; "Scott, Justin, Matt and Jason were great! They were all very friendly, personable, responsible and trustworthy. Advance Design definitely met and exceeded our expectations. Remodeling is a very challenging process to endure, but ADS minimized discomfort and inconvenience as much as possible and kept on schedule. The end result was well worth the investment in time and money." Designer: Scott Christensen Photographer: Joe Nowak

A 3,980 sqft Modern Retreat Merging Nature and Architecture Completed in 2025 in the tranquil hills of Bel Air, this 3,980 sqft residence redefines outdoor living through a seamless blend of modern architecture and natural beauty. Designed by Henne Creative, the project captures the essence of minimalist luxury, where clean lines meet atmospheric elegance. The infinity pool extends toward a lush backdrop, reflecting the dramatic hues of the California sunset. At dusk, the soft architectural lighting highlights the structure’s geometry, creating a calm yet striking silhouette. The pink flamingo float playfully anchors the space, adding a sense of warmth and personality to the design. Floor to ceiling glass panels erase the boundary between indoors and out, while the concrete patio equipped with sleek loungers and side tables offers a refined and relaxed ambiance for everyday retreat or intimate gatherings. Bel Air Serenity isn’t just a home it’s an experience. A sanctuary that celebrates light, openness, and the quiet luxury of nature-infused design.
