This former site in disrepair was merged with the existing adjacent home to create a series of outdoor living spaces including terraced gardens, the screen porch, and a detached cottage garage Kavita John Photography

The master bedroom volume floats about the masonry walls. The cladding and glazing absorb and merge with the colors of the environment. A balcony allows the view to the north and the the south simultaneously while protecting the master bedroom from the western sun exposure. The band of glazing across the north elevation capture the McDowell Mountains range. Winquist Photography, Matt Winquist

Home office - large contemporary built-in desk carpeted home office idea in Miami

A gathering of historic Lazy O Ranch buildings merged into contemporary home living. “This home flows perfectly” stated the owner. 'It really functions well."

This downtown home was renovated with the goal of staying with in the existing footprint. Creating a functional master bath and closet became a welcomed challenge. The idea was to create the feeling of a master closet with a bathroom in it and not the other way around. Low ceiling, and accent lighting helped create a warn inviting space. Glass French doors were used to keep the space open and light. Photo by:Zephyr McIntyre

The owners requested a Private Resort that catered to their love for entertaining friends and family, a place where 2 people would feel just as comfortable as 42. Located on the western edge of a Wisconsin lake, the site provides a range of natural ecosystems from forest to prairie to water, allowing the building to have a more complex relationship with the lake - not merely creating large unencumbered views in that direction. The gently sloping site to the lake is atypical in many ways to most lakeside lots - as its main trajectory is not directly to the lake views - allowing for focus to be pushed in other directions such as a courtyard and into a nearby forest. The biggest challenge was accommodating the large scale gathering spaces, while not overwhelming the natural setting with a single massive structure. Our solution was found in breaking down the scale of the project into digestible pieces and organizing them in a Camp-like collection of elements: - Main Lodge: Providing the proper entry to the Camp and a Mess Hall - Bunk House: A communal sleeping area and social space. - Party Barn: An entertainment facility that opens directly on to a swimming pool & outdoor room. - Guest Cottages: A series of smaller guest quarters. - Private Quarters: The owners private space that directly links to the Main Lodge. These elements are joined by a series green roof connectors, that merge with the landscape and allow the out buildings to retain their own identity. This Camp feel was further magnified through the materiality - specifically the use of Doug Fir, creating a modern Northwoods setting that is warm and inviting. The use of local limestone and poured concrete walls ground the buildings to the sloping site and serve as a cradle for the wood volumes that rest gently on them. The connections between these materials provided an opportunity to add a delicate reading to the spaces and re-enforce the camp aesthetic. The oscillation between large communal spaces and private, intimate zones is explored on the interior and in the outdoor rooms. From the large courtyard to the private balcony - accommodating a variety of opportunities to engage the landscape was at the heart of the concept.

Home design - modern home design idea in San Francisco

This gorgeous 2 1/2 story home had to be designed keeping the location of the existing foundation because of the proximity to the water. The stone façade beautifully grounds the cedar shingles to the landscape. The covered walkway allows easy access from the garage and in-law suite to the front entry or the stunning mahogany deck. The views from this home are spectacular, inside and out!
