Perched high above the desert floor, this exclusive community of homes was designed specifically to take full advantage of close indoor/outdoor relationships, to showcase panoramic views and directional breezes. Adjacent mountains sweep across the site, and varied massing combined with rustic stone and wood beams recall historic European hill-towns. Each of the three plans incorporates multiple courtyards and porticos with a centralized, formal entry experience. The interplay of interior volumes articulates natural light and dramatic textures. Public and private spaces have been carefully zoned, to provide pockets of seclusion, balanced with generous entertainment areas. Inclusion of multiple water features combined with indigenous landscape seamlessly blend with the architecture to create a stunning sense of place among the rugged desert terrain.

The primary bathroom was designed as an open, spa-like retreat that reflects the home’s modern coastal aesthetic. A curbless walk-in shower creates a seamless and expansive feel, while multiple shower heads and a custom shower system provide a luxurious experience. The layout maintains an open and airy character, with a partial privacy wall subtly defining the toilet area without interrupting the flow of the space. A large custom vanity offers generous storage and countertop space, balancing functionality with clean contemporary detailing. Nautical and beach-inspired finishes and fixtures tie the bathroom to the home’s waterfront setting, creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere that complements the surrounding views and natural light. + Architecture: H2D Architecture + Design www.h2darchitects.com + Interior Design: Karlee Coble Interiors + Built by: Carlisle Classic Homes + Photography: Chad Coleman Photography

This homeowner loved her home and location, but it needed updating and a more efficient use of the condensed space she had for her kitchen. We were creative in opening the kitchen and a small eat-in area to create a more open kitchen for multiple cooks to work together. We created a coffee station/serving area with floating shelves, and in order to preserve the existing windows, we stepped a base cabinet down to maintain adequate counter prep space. With custom cabinetry reminiscent of the era of this home and a glass tile back splash she loved, we were able to give her the kitchen of her dreams in a home she already loved. We attended a holiday cookie party at her home upon completion, and were able to experience firsthand, multiple cooks in the kitchen and hear the oohs and ahhs from family and friends about the amazing transformation of her spaces.

Renovisions received a request from these homeowners to remodel their existing master bath with the design goal: a spa-like environment featuring a large curb-less shower with multiple showerheads and a linear drain. Accessibility features include a hand-held showerhead mounted on a sliding bar with separate volume controls, a large bench seat in Blue Pearl granite and a decorative safety bar in a chrome finish. Multiple showerheads accommodated our clients ranging heights and requests for options including a more rigorous spray of water to a soft flow from a ceiling mounted rain showerhead. The various sprays provide a full luxury shower experience. The curb-less Schluter shower system incorporates a fully waterproof and vapor tight environment to ensure a beautiful, durable and functional tiled shower. In this particular shower, Renovisions furnished and installed an elegant low-profile linear floor drain with a sloped floor design to enable the use of the attractive large-format (17” x 17”) Carrera-look porcelain tiles. Coordinating Carrera-look porcelain tiles with a band of color and shower cubby in Blue Pearl granite tie in with the color of the tile seat and ledge. A custom frameless glass shower enclosure with sleek glass door handles showcases the beautiful tile design. Replacing the existing Corian acrylic countertops and integrated sinks with granite countertops in Blue Pearl and rectangular under mount porcelain sinks created a gorgeous, striking contrast to the white vanity cabinetry. The widespread faucets featuring crystal handles in a chrome finish, sconce lighting with crystal embellishments and crystal knobs were perfect choices to enhance the elegant look for the desired space. After a busy day at work, our clients come home and enjoy a renewed, more open sanctuary/spa-like master bath and relax in style.

The Detray Residence introduced an open contemporary design to an otherwise traditional context: a historic Brooklyn Heights townhouse. RSVP Studio converted the existing two bedroom duplex into a three bedroom, 2-1/2 bath apartment by relocating all of the common functions to the existing attic level, inverting the typical duplex layout. Utilizing the unique geometry of the pitched attic space, the open kitchen, dining and living room is illuminated from skylights and an expansive glass light shaft, creating a loft-like experience. A new entry foyer with an enlarged stair opening to the attic directs the flow of circulation into the common space, while maintaining the privacy of the third floor bedrooms.Location: Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn Completion: Summer 2006 Size: 1500 s.f.
