Get the most out of every square inch of outdoor living space with Equinox Adjustable Louvered Roof. It's as pretty as a pergola, but with the touch of a remote offers the protection of a porch. Louvers adjust 160 degrees to open for full sun, partially close for some shade or close completely for a watertight seal. Let the sun stream into the house, or shade the deck. Plan a party without the worry of rain. And just enjoy outdoor living, the way you want to.

This gorgeous open living room merges both the first and second floor by having a flowing stair area that overlooks the living and tall windows streaming in the natural daylight that warms the space to be set for comfort.

Pembrooke Fine Landscapes designed and built this luxury outdoor living room in East Hampton. A modern pavilion is the centerpiece with a full kitchen, fireplace and living area. The kitchen features several modern conveniences including a kegerator, a wine refrigerator, ice maker, dishwasher, a grill and more. The TVs are controlled by a fully integrated Lutron system allowing customized audio, video and streaming of programs. The tennis court is built to USTA standards. The gunite pool and spa is heated and a changing area outdoor shower and bathroom are all located within the outdoor space.

The long, narrow pavers were inspired by Japanese and Northwest landscaping: Stone and grass surround a 3-foot-wide by 15-foot-long steel-line reflection pond that spills into three streams. The use of wood and calm colors to create indoor-outdoor living space are signature features of Suteki America-designed homes. Photo: Reto Media

Stacking glass doors, a large picture window, and high ceilings make this cozy living room feel expansive. The shifted massing created the opportunity for a skylight to stream in sunlight into the living room. The decorative douglas fir beams across the skylight create textured shadows that change throughout the year.

The gently sloping natural stone and river rock stream bed replaced a traditional retaining wall and french drains. The use of different size stones, from boulders to small pebbles, creates texture and interest. The plants soften the stone and create movement. Photo credit: Lisa Meddin, Harmony Design Northwest

In addition to the 20' x 50' custom Gunite pool, this oasis includes a massive 12-person hot tub with integral tumbling stream and a century-old coach house repurposed into a luxury cabana. The shadows of late afternoon help to define the massive boulders and integrate them with the natural surroundings.

Glass is a prominent material used throughout the residence, seen from the very top of the structure in the form of expansive skylights and layered all the way down through the various levels of walkways. Not only does this articulate volume, but it also allows the natural light to stream through all levels of the home. Photo: Jim Bartsch

A new porch highlights the front door, once difficult to find, on this variation of a traditional Cape Cod home. Ample windows on axis with the living room entry focus a visitor’s attention on a sun filled garden terrace and water feature. From above, light streams through a ridge clerestory, inspired by the client’s love of the Stanford University Barn’s similar roof detail. The newly raised ceiling creates a lofty, inviting space. Below the living room, a new basement home theater is finished with fine wood paneling and accented with art from their collection.

Originally a nearly three-story tall 1920’s European-styled home was turned into a modern villa for work and home. A series of low concrete retaining wall planters and steps gradually takes you up to the second level entry, grounding or anchoring the house into the site, as does a new wrap around veranda and trellis. Large eave overhangs on the upper roof were designed to give the home presence and were accented with a Mid-century orange color. The new master bedroom addition white box creates a better sense of entry and opens to the wrap around veranda at the opposite side. Inside the owners live on the lower floor and work on the upper floor with the garage basement for storage, archives and a ceramics studio. New windows and open spaces were created for the graphic designer owners; displaying their mid-century modern furnishings collection. A lot of effort went into attempting to lower the house visually by bringing the ground plane higher with the concrete retaining wall planters, steps, wrap around veranda and trellis, and the prominent roof with exaggerated overhangs. That the eaves were painted orange is a cool reflection of the owner’s Dutch heritage. Budget was a driver for the project and it was determined that the footprint of the home should have minimal extensions and that the new windows remain in the same relative locations as the old ones. Wall removal was utilized versus moving and building new walls where possible. Photo Credit: John Sutton Photography.
