DISPENSING WITH ANYTHING SUPERFLUOUS. | Meta.02 stands for a high level of combinability and durability: a consistent reduction of form and volume, coupled with a high degree of aestheticising. But what makes Meta.02 such an excellent example of Dornbracht's design expertise is not just minimizing the size of the fitting and the use of materials, it is also the reduction in form. In the kitchen, Meta.02 creates additional space for working and cooking because the modules of the fitting can be positioned anywhere you like. The mixer, spout and rinsing spray can be positioned exactly where you need them to be. | Available at www.shopstudio41.com

Marble slabs on both the floor and shower walls take this sumptuous all-white bathroom to the next level. The existing peek-a-boo window frames the San Francisco bay view. The custom built-in cabinetry with a pretty vanity and ample mirrors allow for perfect makeup application. The bespoke fixtures complete the look.

A French Château style home Marie Antoinette herself would have been envious of! This Newport Beach, CA residence is truly a Mini-Versailles! Dynamic Garage Door, as a company, was commissioned to custom design, handcraft and install garage doors, gates and shutters. All architectural elements were to follow the customer's detailed taste including the hand-forged custom hardware which we so gracefully put together to make this custom garage door, garden gate and shutter project happen. Located in an upscale track home community, the detailed upgrades on this home represent unique luxury and nothing to do with a run-of-the-mill track home. The custom window shutter design and paint color were carefully selected to harmonize with the home's architecture and color scheme. Custom Garage Doors - The custom garage doors were designed in traditional style typically known as the carriage house door, it is a traditional design that complements a variety of architectural styles including this French Château in the middle of Newport Beach, CA. These type of carriage house garage doors are often times intermingled with Cape Cod Architecture, Craftsman Bungalow Style, Coastal Cottages and even some modern day applications with very minimal design modifications to suit the project at hand. With our customization expertise, we can custom-design a unique carriage house garage door style that will simply add beauty, curve appeal and architectural taste to your custom or track home. Custom Architectural Garden Gates - Garden gates are by far an architectural element that is highly overseen particularly in landscaping projects. This French Château owner hired an outstanding landscaping architect with a keen taste for luxurious French Gardens. When Dynamic Garage Door was commissioned to custom-design, handcraft and install the garden and courtyard gates of this home the details were precise, unyielding and very specific! Designing the garden gates for this home was a bit of a challenge but thanks to our design taste, skilled craftsmanship and technical knowledge we were able to craft custom garden gates that were as gorgeous as the landscaping elements selected by the landscape architect. Custom Architectural Shutters - Without a doubt, window shutters are a must in certain architectural style such as this Newport Beach, CA French Style Château. Selecting the right hand-forged hardware is certainly of essence to make the minimalistic raised-panel shutters style. Selecting the right colors to make them pop against the soft gray-painted walls and other variations of gray made these shutters an addition that spelled, success! The homeowner was extremely happy, the landscape architect ecstatic and Dynamic Garage Door - simply proud! Browse through this short gallery and see the elements that made a difference on this French Château. See why Dynamic Garage Door is highly revered for crafting some of the nation's most astounding custom garage doors, garden & driveway gates as well as architectural window shutters that speak volumes to the discerning architectural eye!

Inspiration for a rustic patio remodel in Seattle with no cover

The simple lines of this attractive contemporary home disguise a remarkable aspect of its construction: it received the coveted Gold Star rating from the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program. This rating, granted after a third-party inspection, serves as the premier mark in green building achievement. LEED-certified homes cost less to operate, reducing energy and water bills by as much as 40%. Designed by the Houston firm Murphy Mears Architects (www.murphymears.com), the house earned the LEED Gold Star award because of the firm’s expert use in areas such as water efficiency, sustainable materials and energy strategies. Both principals of the architectural firm hold LEED AP credentials which affirm their knowledge of advanced green building expertise. To solidify their efforts to win the Gold Star certification, the firm hired Exterior Worlds to design the landscape using techniques that minimize the impact on ecosystems and water resources. Our charge was to employ drought-resistant plants, reclaimed materials and other green hardscapes to help Murphy Mears earn points within the LEED rating system. In the front yard, we created a rectilinear garden covered with black star gravel. The bed’s straight lines pay homage to the house’s design while the dark gray gravel extends the color palette. In this zone of interest, we planted six ornamental Japanese blueberry trees and contoured them into conical shapes to contrast with the linearity of the house. The homeowners had found reclaimed marble from a torn-down building and so we used these rectangular forms for the sidewalk. A border of gravel connects the sidewalk to the larger garden bed. The marble, which is striated white and black, also adds an interesting element of movement to the yard. We planted the rest of the yard with Zoysia grass since it possesses exceptional wear tolerance and good drought resistance. Gravel garden beds extend to the sides of the house, a choice that is both aesthetically pleasing and earth-friendly. In sustainable landscaping, gravel is prized because of its durability, minimal maintenance requirements and because, being inorganic, it requires no watering. For the back yard, we planted more Japanese blueberry trees and Zoysia grass to continue the theme begun in the front. Other plantings, requiring little water and pruning, were picked from the LEED-approved list. We also laid another pathway using the reclaimed marble, which leads around the property to the grill, patio and a potting table with reclaimed sink in the far back. We built a patio using synthetic decking material in the same light gray color as the house. The decking material requires no staining and is particularly durable. The patio creates a transition between the interior and exterior, with the glass doors of the house feeding out into the back yard. It is uncovered, playing up the openness of the house’s design and making the most of Houston’s golden morning light with the house creating deep shade in the hot afternoons. Perhaps the most striking thing that can be said about the property and its LEED rating is this: you’d never know it. That is, the innovative and far-ranging green techniques are woven so beautifully into its design all you notice is a superb house with an appealing landscape.
