The exceptional design of this bathroom is perfectly accented by the beautiful scenery observed from the windows! The gorgeous flow from grays to whites provides a very elegant look and feel for this bathroom.

Inspired by the owners' travels in the Mediterranean region yet rooted firmly in Texas soil, this single family residence is designed to provide a secluded, comfortable environment for observing nature, relaxing, entertaining, living, and working. The oddly shaped site determined a house that is removed from the street, resulting in a long drive through a wooded area that leads to the gently sloping house site. The house is designed around a large, central public living area. The basic "H" shaped plan reaches out to define the entry court as well as the rear yard area. The building can only be seen in small vignettes as one moves around and through it, and is finally understood from inside the main room. The public space is central to the plan, where rooms overlay and flow through and into one another. Private rooms are tucked away in more remote parts of the site. The guest bedrooms are located at a slightly lower level, and a remote study, reached by a ship's ladder, overlooks the main living area and enjoys its own roof terrace. The central part of the house is designed as a solid, strong, "original" building to which other wings are added as if built over time. The client desired that the house appear to be of no discernible style or period, and seem older rather than newer.

Large minimalist white three-story stucco flat roof photo in Miami with a mixed material roof

An original 1930’s English Tudor with only 2 bedrooms and 1 bath spanning about 1730 sq.ft. was purchased by a family with 2 amazing young kids, we saw the potential of this property to become a wonderful nest for the family to grow.
The plan was to reach a 2550 sq. ft. home with 4 bedroom and 4 baths spanning over 2 stories.
With continuation of the exiting architectural style of the existing home.
A large 1000sq. ft. addition was constructed at the back portion of the house to include the expended master bedroom and a second-floor guest suite with a large observation balcony overlooking the mountains of Angeles Forest.
An L shape staircase leading to the upstairs creates a moment of modern art with an all white walls and ceilings of this vaulted space act as a picture frame for a tall window facing the northern mountains almost as a live landscape painting that changes throughout the different times of day.
Tall high sloped roof created an amazing, vaulted space in the guest suite with 4 uniquely designed windows extruding out with separate gable roof above.
The downstairs bedroom boasts 9’ ceilings, extremely tall windows to enjoy the greenery of the backyard, vertical wood paneling on the walls add a warmth that is not seen very often in today’s new build.
The master bathroom has a showcase 42sq. walk-in shower with its own private south facing window to illuminate the space with natural morning light. A larger format wood siding was using for the vanity backsplash wall and a private water closet for privacy.
In the interior reconfiguration and remodel portion of the project the area serving as a family room was transformed to an additional bedroom with a private bath, a laundry room and hallway.
The old bathroom was divided with a wall and a pocket door into a powder room the leads to a tub room.
The biggest change was the kitchen area, as befitting to the 1930’s the dining room, kitchen, utility room and laundry room were all compartmentalized and enclosed.
We eliminated all these partitions and walls to create a large open kitchen area that is completely open to the vaulted dining room. This way the natural light the washes the kitchen in the morning and the rays of sun that hit the dining room in the afternoon can be shared by the two areas.
The opening to the living room remained only at 8’ to keep a division of space.

We use rock and stone where it makes hydrologic and ecological sense in our waters. We do not use stone excessively since it is expensive and is very often over-done which results in unnatural appearing ponds.
30 years of experience as Biologists has shown us extensive rock and stone features in the wild. We paid attention and bring that to our projects to incorporate the exact correct materials in elements such as waterfalls, pools, riffles and shorelines. Each element calls for a particular geometry of materials. Using the same rock in a waterfall as in a riffle or stream makes for a contrived artificial appearance. You may not be able to verbalize the error, but when you see the finished habitat, you will feel the difference. Our responsibility is to know the difference and employ it.
Nature may appear chaotic to a casual observer, but there is a very complex order for all natural habitats.

A custom dining room table with a live edge was designed specifically for the space. Too bad about the view!

This contemporary house was designed on a difficult 50’ wide waterfront lot in Middle River. Because the entire site is located in the 100’ flood plain, the house took advantage of the footprint of an existing house to maintain proximity to the waters edge. The house was designed for a couple and their mother, therefore the house was designed with a central stair / elevator core joining separate living pods for the respective families. The stair tower soars above the roofline to create an observation tower allowing 360 degree views of the spectacular surroundings. The first floor containing sleeping areas is elevated a full story above grade, with the living spaces placed on the second floor to take full advantage of the views. The house is designed with sustainable, yet durable, exterior materials which will withstand the harsh waterfront environment.

Designed by Lucie Koldova, Lens features abstract design concepts based on overlapping metal lenses.
The metal lenses appear to levitate in space and are illuminated by the innovative LED fixture module. Lens is the new solution for your large scale projects.
The primary element of this collection is the metal lens. It is designed to capture and direct the light down. Each lens has an irregular perforation to allow the light to pass through and evokes an almost cosmic feeling when observed from below.

The front facing side of the home received a face lift with all windows replaced and new siding installed. The deck was completely rebuilt to create a larger footprint. A new cable rail system was installed over a IPE deck. At top of picture is the observation tower.

Perched along the picturesque shoreline of Great Bay, this newly constructed farmhouse-style residence is designed to be a welcoming and entertaining experience. Views of Great Bay are prevalent throughout the home from the airy and refined living room, three-season porch, kitchen, and pool deck. For a wide panoramic view, step out onto the wraparound deck from the 2nd-floor family room and the primary suite to observe the bay below. The grand kitchen and dining room easily seats 16 for Thanksgiving dinner, and has plenty of open space for cocktail hours and dessert parties during the festive season. The house seamlessly integrates modern technology with traditional charm, creating a private oasis that beckons residents to unwind and savor the tranquility of coastal living.
Embracing the essence of understated luxury, the property extends its appeal beyond the residence itself. A large pool, accompanied by a thoughtfully crafted pool house, offers a private retreat for family and friends. This private sanctuary captures the spirit of coastal living, marrying the charm of farmhouse aesthetics with the allure of a secluded, well-appointed estate. In every detail, from the details of the interior design to the allure of the outdoor amenities, this Great Bay residence stands as a testament to comfortable family living along the water's edge.

Moss Garden: A Living Carpet of Tranquility
A moss garden is a serene, low-maintenance landscape feature that evokes a profound sense of calm and natural beauty. Composed of vibrant, velvety mosses that thrive in shaded, humid environments, these gardens offer a soft, carpet-like groundcover that replaces traditional lawns or gravel with rich, green texture.
At Westland Design, our moss gardens are thoughtfully integrated into the overall landscape to enhance a feeling of timelessness and stillness. Whether nestled beneath the canopy of trees, edging a stone pathway, or surrounding a tranquil water feature, moss brings subtle movement and color to quiet corners of the garden.
Key qualities of a moss garden include:
Evergreen softness: Moss provides lush, year-round greenery that requires no mowing or fertilizing.
Quiet beauty: It absorbs sound, contributing to a peaceful, contemplative environment.
Natural elegance: Ideal for Japanese-style gardens or woodland settings, moss complements stone, water, and wood elements with organic harmony.
A moss garden is more than a design choice—it’s an invitation to slow down, observe closely, and appreciate nature’s quiet elegance.

Can you spot the jungle?⠀This is a DIY garden I designed conceptually and that was executed by the client based on my observations of what they like/not and their style of living, putting them in touch with the relevant suppliers I knew. What I love best though is their beautiful execution and loved the collaboration that occurred throughout the project and their continued dedication to its maintenance. ⠀
