Inspired by another mid-century modern home the client owned, this new residence represents a much larger 21st-century version built into the gently sloping hillside to take advantage of the sprawling hilltop views of the Sonoma valley. The quiet front facade leads guests into a formal entry that divides the house into private and public spaces. Rounding the corner into the great room, one is immediately hit by the breathtaking view that extends outward beyond the infinity pool and deck through a continuous wall of glass. In the opposite direction, each of the three bedrooms was designed with its own seating area and bathroom, creating private suites for family members and guests alike. The linear design and open, flowing living spaces provide almost every room with outdoor access to the expansive patio, protected from the Sonoma heat by deep overhangs. Warm woods, clean lines, and a rhythmic post and beam ceiling design create a homey feeling of rest and relaxation, evoking the essence of modern California living.

A photo of the completed stair remodel at the Cawthorne Residence in Houston, Texas. This job was a complete staircase renovation. Starting with removing the carpet and painted wood end caps and installing full Maple wood Treads and solid wood painted risers. And then installing new 6210 style handrail (larger) and new 3 ½ box newels all maple wood. With Our Powder Coated iron Balusters model PC16/1 & PC16/2 & PC12/1 in Old World Copper color. The maple was stained to match the customer’s existing kitchen cabinets. This project took about 8 days to complete.

In a wooded area of Lafayette, a mid-century home was re-imagined for a graphic designer and kindergarten teacher couple and their three children. A major new design feature is a high ceiling great room that wraps from the front to the back yard, turning a corner at the kitchen and ending at the family room fireplace. This room was designed with a high flat roof to work in conjunction with existing roof forms to create a unified whole, and raise interior ceiling heights from eight to over ten feet. All new lighting and large floor to ceiling Fleetwood aluminum windows expand views of the trees beyond. The existing home was enlarged by 700 square feet with a small exterior addition enlarging the kitchen over an existing deck, and a larger amount by excavating out crawlspace at the garage level to create a new home office with full bath, and separate laundry utility room. The remodeled residence became 3,847 square feet in total area including the garage. Exterior curb appeal was improved with all new Fleetwood windows, stained wood siding and stucco. New steel railing and concrete steps lead up to the front entry. Front and rear yard new landscape design by Huettl Landscape Architecture dramatically alters the site. New planting was added at the front yard with landscape lighting and modern concrete pavers and the rear yard has multiple decks for family gatherings with the focal point a concrete conversation circle with central fire feature. Everything revolves around the corner kitchen, large windows to the backyard, quartz countertops and cabinetry in painted and walnut finishes. The homeowners enjoyed the process of selecting Heath Tile for the kitchen backsplash and white oval tiles at the family room fireplace. Black brick tiles by Fireclay were used on the living room hearth. The kitchen flows into the family room all with views to the beautifully landscaped yards. The primary suite has a built-in window seat with large windows overlooking the garden, walnut cabinetry in a skylit walk-in closet, and a large dramatic skylight bouncing light into the shower. The kid’s bath also has a skylight slot with light angling downward over double sinks. More colorful tile shows up in these spaces, as does a geometric patterned tile in the downstairs office bath shower. The large yard is taken full advantage of with concrete paved walkways, stairs and firepit circle. New retaining walls in the rear yard helped to add more level usable outdoor space, with wood slats to visually blend them into the overall design. The end result is a beautiful transformation of a mid-century home, that both captures the client’s personalities and elevates the house into the modern age.

This is a first floor remodel of a single family home in Castle Pines Colorado. Homeowner resides in Cave Creek Arizona and this was there summer home. We were able to accomplish this remodel over the winter months while the homeowner was away limiting the headache of living through a construction zone. As you can see we eliminated an unused dining space and replaced that with a walk in pantry and overall larger kitchen footprint. Then we removed the kneewall in the great room and replaced with railings and spindles. Included are before, during and after photos of the project.

This vantage point captures the interconnected nature of the communal lounge, with the built-in booth seating in the foreground and the primary gathering space visible beyond. The upholstered booths, framed in warm modern wood paneling, provide a more intimate setting for conversation and casual dining, while maintaining visual connection to the larger open-concept lounge. In the background, the main common area unfolds with its generous seating arrangement, layered textures, and expansive windows that fill the space with natural light. Together, these zones create a cohesive, multifunctional environment designed to support both privacy and community within the multifamily setting. Designed by Jubilee Interiors in Westlake Village, California.

This 3,812 square feet transitional style home is in the highly desirable neighborhood of The Canyons at Scenic Loop, located in the Northwest hill country of San Antonio. The four-bedroom residence boasts luxury and openness with a nice flow of common areas. Rock and tile wall features mix perfectly with wood beams and trim work to create a beautiful interior. Additional eye candy can be found at a curved stone focal wall in the entry, in the large study with reclaimed wood ceiling, an even larger game room, the abundance of natural light from high windows and tall butted glass, curved ceiling treatments, storefront garage doors, and a walk in shower trailing behind a sculptural freestanding tub in the master bathroom.

2010 NARI CAPITAL COTY GRAND AWARD WINNER The homeowner wanted to add square footage and implement an aging-in-place strategy that will enable her to live out her days in residence with dignified self-sufficiency. Specifically, she was seeking an updated family room and larger master bedroom suite. Additionally, she wanted to maintain the original intent of the Cape Cod style. A 28’ x 29’ addition was split between the new family room and the new master suite. First, every doorway into the master suite was redone for better accessibility. The suite itself features a cathedral ceiling, skylights and recessed lighting. The master suite bathroom has features a whirlpool bath, walk-in shower and double vanity. Grab bars and other handicap-accessible features are incorporated for aging in place living. A double-sided fireplace connects the master suite and the family room.

Bridle Path Residence — Powder Room Designed as a compact jewel box within the larger residence, this powder room balances quiet elegance with a more dramatic material moment. The restrained ivory palette establishes a bright, timeless backdrop, while the vertically framed textured stone feature introduces depth, movement, and a sense of architectural permanence. Its dark, richly veined surface creates a deliberate contrast against the surrounding light finishes without overwhelming the intimate scale of the room. The custom vanity continues the home’s tailored millwork language, with refined detailing and a clean stone countertop that keeps the composition sophisticated and uncluttered. A sculptural beveled mirror adds another layer of geometry, reflecting light and visually expanding the space. The carefully selected finishes demonstrate a design approach centered on contrast, proportion, texture, and craftsmanship—allowing even a small functional room to feel intentional and luxurious. The result is a powder room that feels polished rather than ornamental: classical architectural detailing meets contemporary material contrast, creating a timeless space with a distinctly residential sense of luxury.

The house was planned to be low and unobtrusive; a place from which to experience the land and natural environment, not a statement about the sophistication of the architecture. A series of roof forms were studied in three dimensions. The final massing, interior light, and ceiling heights in the Johnson Point Residence lend the smaller, more private spaces (dining for example) intimacy and inward focus while opening larger more public spaces east to light and views of the water and the sky.

This photo captures the backyard renovation of the Yaghoubi Residence in Kerrisdale, Vancouver during the final stages of construction. The new outdoor layout was already taking shape, including the extended deck, concrete walkways, and newly constructed patio area. The renovation involved removing an existing detached garage to open up the backyard and create a larger functional outdoor space. New hardscape surfaces were installed to improve access and usability while preparing the yard for the final landscaping phase, lawn installation, and finishing details.
