The Fossil Mix Villa Pool Project brings the warm tones of natural stone and the distinctive character of fossil patterns into modern pool design. The Fossil Mix series used on the pool floor gives the water an elegant depth and a warm atmosphere through the harmony of brown, beige, and grey tones. With its Low Water Absorption, the surface ensures long-lasting use and offers durability against UV Resistance, chemicals, and thermal shocks. The PTV ≥ 45° Non-slip value keeps safety at the forefront. In the transitions, Fossil Mix Scoth Outer Corner and Outer Angle Corner elements provide both technical and aesthetic integrity. Along the pool edges, Universal Petit Carre Copings and Inner Corner solutions enhance user comfort, while Universal Flex Porcelain Stoneware Grating regulates overflow lines, delivering both functionality and visual continuity.

The Beige Stone Villa Pool Project stands out with a balanced design approach that blends the freshness of water with natural textures. The Firuze Mix series, chosen for the pool floor, brings a lively and inviting look to the water with the harmony of turquoise and blue tones. Thanks to its Low Water Absorption, the surface ensures long-lasting use and offers high resistance to UV Resistance, chemicals, and thermal shocks. The PTV ≥ 45° Non-slip value provides safe use in and around the pool. In the transitions, Firuze Mix Outer Trim, Scoth Outer Corner, and Outer Angle Corner elements deliver both technical and aesthetic integrity, while Beige Stone Petit Carre Copings and monoblock hidden grating solutions along the pool edges regulate overflow lines, adding comfort and visual continuity. Around the pool, Beige Stone Porcelain Anti Slip Terrace Tiles complement the architecture with the warmth of beige tones.

Atherton has many large substantial homes - our clients purchased an existing home on a one acre flag-shaped lot and asked us to design a new dream home for them. The result is a new 7,000 square foot four-building complex consisting of the main house, six-car garage with two car lifts, pool house with a full one bedroom residence inside, and a separate home office /work out gym studio building. A fifty-foot swimming pool was also created with fully landscaped yards. Given the rectangular shape of the lot, it was decided to angle the house to incoming visitors slightly so as to more dramatically present itself. The house became a classic u-shaped home but Feng Shui design principals were employed directing the placement of the pool house to better contain the energy flow on the site. The main house entry door is then aligned with a special Japanese red maple at the end of a long visual axis at the rear of the site. These angles and alignments set up everything else about the house design and layout, and views from various rooms allow you to see into virtually every space tracking movements of others in the home. The residence is simply divided into two wings of public use, kitchen and family room, and the other wing of bedrooms, connected by the living and dining great room. Function drove the exterior form of windows and solid walls with a line of clerestory windows which bring light into the middle of the large home. Extensive sun shadow studies with 3D tree modeling led to the unorthodox placement of the pool to the north of the home, but tree shadow tracking showed this to be the sunniest area during the entire year. Sustainable measures included a full 7.1kW solar photovoltaic array technically making the house off the grid, and arranged so that no panels are visible from the property. A large 16,000 gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of tanks buried below grade was installed. The home is California GreenPoint rated and also features sealed roof soffits and a sealed crawlspace without the usual venting. A whole house computer automation system with server room was installed as well. Heating and cooling utilize hot water radiant heated concrete and wood floors supplemented by heat pump generated heating and cooling. A compound of buildings created to form balanced relationships between each other, this home is about circulation, light and a balance of form and function. Photo by John Sutton Photography.

This 2019 project for award-winning engineer and former Blackbird Academy instructor Ernesto Olvera-LaPier was one of NILES’ earliest ventures into designing and building a fully formal Dolby Atmos mixing and mastering environment. The result is a highly accurate, purpose-built suite engineered to meet the strict demands of immersive audio work. The room is completely acoustically isolated from the surrounding structure. Sound-reducing wall systems sit atop floating-floor assemblies, paired with a full soft-ceiling bass trap, a false rear-wall trap, and custom full-lite acoustic doors. Dedicated mechanical systems ensure quiet, uninterrupted operation, allowing Ernesto to work with precision at any hour. Monitoring centers around a JBL M2 system seamlessly integrated into the treatment design, providing an immersive, detailed, and articulate listening experience essential for Dolby Atmos production. Every component—from the isolation assemblies to the tuning—was crafted to ensure that the mix translates exactly as intended. The suite is both visually understated and technically advanced, delivering an effortless feel with professional-grade performance throughout.
