This South Texas ranch home utilizes the flexibility of separate building volumes and a vast, open site to create the ideal country retreat. The arrangement of the three simple volumes recalls and reinterprets the historic building forms of the Texas plains, while meeting the clients’ programmatic requests for highly efficient spaces, both public and private. The dogrun pavilion, which connects the Great Room and Master Suite beneath a delicate steel-truss roof, provides the perfect place to gather in the shade, entertain guests, and pick up the comfortable southeast breezes. With this sensitive approach, the result is not just a collection of structures, but an integrated dwelling awaiting a comfortable Texas lifestyle.

Alcove shower - craftsman light wood floor alcove shower idea in Wilmington with an undermount sink, medium tone wood cabinets, yellow walls and open cabinets

NCA designed a new home in a family compound situated in the heart of Newport’s Ocean Drive Historic District. The central part of the residential project is primarily wetlands, though a small parcel was suitable for a structure with a small footprint. The larger structure houses the kitchen and master bedroom, while the smaller structure is reserved as a yoga room. A conservatory nestled behind the larger turret is accessible from both the kitchen and dining room.

The guest bedroom provides privacy for guests. A large ceiling beam supports the cantilevered deck off of the master bedroom above. Trent Bona Photography

The owners of this property had been away from the Bay Area for many years, and looked forward to returning to an elegant mid-century modern house. The one they bought was anything but that. Faced with a “remuddled” kitchen from one decade, a haphazard bedroom / family room addition from another, and an otherwise disjointed and generally run-down mid-century modern house, the owners asked Klopf Architecture and Envision Landscape Studio to re-imagine this house and property as a unified, flowing, sophisticated, warm, modern indoor / outdoor living space for a family of five. Opening up the spaces internally and from inside to out was the first order of business. The formerly disjointed eat-in kitchen with 7 foot high ceilings were opened up to the living room, re-oriented, and replaced with a spacious cook's kitchen complete with a row of skylights bringing light into the space. Adjacent the living room wall was completely opened up with La Cantina folding door system, connecting the interior living space to a new wood deck that acts as a continuation of the wood floor. People can flow from kitchen to the living / dining room and the deck seamlessly, making the main entertainment space feel at once unified and complete, and at the same time open and limitless. Klopf opened up the bedroom with a large sliding panel, and turned what was once a large walk-in closet into an office area, again with a large sliding panel. The master bathroom has high windows all along one wall to bring in light, and a large wet room area for the shower and tub. The dark, solid roof structure over the patio was replaced with an open trellis that allows plenty of light, brightening the new deck area as well as the interior of the house. All the materials of the house were replaced, apart from the framing and the ceiling boards. This allowed Klopf to unify the materials from space to space, running the same wood flooring throughout, using the same paint colors, and generally creating a consistent look from room to room. Located in Lafayette, CA this remodeled single-family house is 3,363 square foot, 4 bedroom, and 3.5 bathroom.

Contemporary white two-story mixed siding flat roof idea in Orange County

In this apartment renovation, we focused on creating an elegant bathroom design that emphasizes space, light, and intentional detailing. The freestanding tub was set beneath the wide window to maximize natural illumination, giving the luxury apartment bathroom a calm, spa-inspired ambiance. Custom cabinetry and restrained tile patterns support space-saving bathroom ideas essential for modern apartment bathroom projects. The symmetry of the dual vanity enhances functionality, while contemporary bathroom ideas and sleek bathroom style accents refine the room’s overall balance. Minimalist bathroom decor keeps the atmosphere uncluttered, and thoughtful material selections contribute to a modern bathroom renovation that feels both durable and serene. This design reflects our commitment to crafting spacious apartment bathroom environments aligned with elevated remodeling expectations.

Bathroom detail focusing on the walk-in shower with black-framed glass enclosure, paired with bold marble-effect wall tiles. Contrasting finishes create a modern, high-spec environment.
