When these clients were looking to downsize, they wanted to include finer details and finishings in a home that still offered easy upkeep. While the empty nesters are outdoorsy and active, they chose a home that is intentionally situated on a smaller lot to minimize yard work. But there’s nothing cramped about this open flowing ranch-style home when you step inside. The kitchen and oversized island were built for an enthusiastic home chef, and the large ensuite comes with all the bells and whistles of a high-end spa. What’s more, every bedroom has its own bathroom, providing ultra comfort for visiting children and grandchildren. Custom trims, wainscotting, and crown detailing elevate the design and suggest a feeling of opulence in this sought-after Crown Isle development.

The wine cooler was created to resemble something found in a modern restaurant, with accents of warm walnut, steel and glass blending seamlessly with the home’s finishings. The modern wine cooler makes an impressive addition to the entrance area of this waterfront home, offering easy access to the wine collection from all living and dining areas. The modern Nek Rite system used allows the wine bottles to be stored horizontally to showcase the labels, simplifying inventory maintenance. The cooler is 83 cubic feet and has capacity for 264 bottles.

Ideal for extensive entertaining and comfortable everyday living, we designed an open floor plan that offered easy flow between the living room, bar, dining space and kitchen. Multiple horizontal and vertical offsets created visual interest on all four elevations while custom-built light fixtures produced sleek task lighting in work areas without sacrificing style. To create additional texture and character, we utilized transitional architecture by uses massing, materials, and lines found in the Hill Country in new ways with architectural limestone blocks, rough chopped Texas limestone, and stucco with metal reveals. Particular consideration was given to the views visible from bedrooms as well as always achieving cross-lighting to capture as much natural light as possible, as seen in the master bath where both windows in the wet room light the space throughout the day. We also featured aluminum clad wood window package, an anodized aluminum window wall in the living room, and a custom design steel and glass entry door.

Over 2,000 square feet of steep, scotch-broom-ridden hillside is transformed into a terraced, ecological garden with a wildflower meadow, pollinator habitat, and edible food forest. Beginning at the bottom of the hillside, a flower and herb garden offers easy access to seasonal colors and flavors. Further up, dry-stack Sonoma fieldstone walls line the meandering pathways, creating terraces and habitat nooks throughout the landscape while sequestering water so the garden can thrive. Lining the paths, underneath the live oak + redwood trees, drought-tolerant meadows and plant bouquets fill the open spaces.

These pull-out storage cabinets offer easy access to all of your items while utilizing space efficiently and enhancing visibility and organization.

Our client came to us with a desire to take an overgrown, neglected space and transform it into a clean contemporary backyard for the family to enjoy. Having had less than stellar experiences with other contractors, they wanted to find a trustworthy company; One that would complement their style and provide excellent communication. They saw a JRP banner at their son's baseball game at Westlake High School and decided to call. After meeting with the team, they knew JRP was the firm they needed to give their backyard a complete overhaul. With a focus on sleek, clean lines, this contemporary backyard is captivating. The outdoor family room is a perfect blend of beauty, form, and function. JRP reworked the courtyard and dining area to create a space for the family to enjoy together. An outdoor pergola houses a media center and lounge. Restoration Hardware low profile furniture provides comfortable seating while maintaining a polished look. The adjacent barbecue is perfect for crafting up family dinners to enjoy amidst a Southern California sunset. Before renovating, the landscaping was an unkempt mess that felt overwhelming. Synthetic grass and concrete decking was installed to give the backyard a fresh feel while offering easy maintenance. Gorgeous hardscaping takes the outdoor area to a whole new level. The resurfaced free-form pool joins to a lounge area that's perfect for soaking up the sun while watching the kids swim. Hedges and outdoor shrubs now maintain a clean, uniformed look. A tucked-away area taken over by plants provided an opportunity to create an intimate outdoor dining space. JRP added wooden containers to accommodate touches of greenery that weren't overwhelming. Bold patterned statement flooring contrasts beautifully against a neutral palette. Additionally, our team incorporated a fireplace for a feel of coziness. Once an overlooked space, the clients and their children are now eager to spend time outdoors together. This clean contemporary backyard renovation transformed what the client called "an overgrown jungle" into a space that allows for functional outdoor living and serene luxury.
