This project is proof that the challenges posed by limited space and accessibility can always be overcome in order to deliver stunning results. The space itself was rather small and also very close to the neighboring residence. Not only was the neighboring wall imposing, it was also of a completely different design style. The goal here was to create a layering effect with numerous features of varying heights. Not only would this add depth and dimension to the overall design, but it would cause the viewer to shift their focus from the encroaching wall to the beauty of the pool space. Instead of trying to maximize the water area by squaring off the pool, I decided to instead maximize the visual interest by gracefully rounding off the back wall of the pool. This was accomplished by implementing a raised stucco wall, and also a shorter, matching curved wall, featuring a "Sheer Descent" waterfall. Inside the taller, deep-plum stucco wall, I created three vertical windows which are all highlighted by LED uplighting. To give depth, dimension and some natural beauty, I implemented a simple bed of Horse Tail Reeds behind the short wall, and chose to place Banana Trees behind the taller wall. The main seating area is just outside the home's master suite, and is separated by a "Leuder" limestone fire pit. Aside from being a striking design feature, the floating stepper pads accomplish a number of things; they serve triple-duty as a walkway, a seating area adjacent to the fire pit, and also as a poolside rest for beverages. After discovering that the narrow courtyard acted as a sort of wind tunnel between the two houses, we opted to install tempered glass in order to better control the behavior of the flames. This solved the problem while remaining visually pleasing to the client as well. You'll notice in some of the leading photos for this project that I had originally intended to implement stepper pads on both sides of the pool closest to the house. And despite a thorough understanding of what would be necessary on an engineering and structural-design basis, we were eventually forced to turn this into a solid deck due to unrelenting city-required setbacks. However the client remained very understanding due to encountering a number of similar issues in their home-build process. In the end, they were delivered an outstanding pool design that had come to fruition only after coming up with numerous solutions to a number of challenges that only a unique space like this could provide.

A luxury kitchen with all the fixings. Unique backsplash made from hand-made glass tile, satin brass hardware and fixtures, custom cabinetry and a gorgeous gold-white-blue color palette are just some of the outstanding features of this awesome project.

This home’s classic roof structure and brick facade were hidden by over grown trees and shrubs. It cried out for architectural detail. Boring aluminum windows, rough cedar exterior trim and a front door assembly with peeling paint did little to enhance its curb appeal. It needed an exterior boost to keep it from remaining an ordinary home despite being located in an extraordinary five-acre park like setting. Ripe for an upgrade it presented a unique design build challenge to unlock its hidden potential as one of the areas outstanding homes. The addition of the cast stone front porch and balustrade gives a “been there for decades” look and feel. Windows were relocated and resized. Custom copper dormers, ornamental iron window guards and decorative cast stone embellishments were added to provide the architectural detail that brings this home to life. The low maintenance stone and new clad divided light wood windows in conjunction with balanced landscaping frame the entrance. Courtyards with stone balustrades and a stone fountain on either side of the entry complete the exterior transformation of a plain home into an extraordinary estate.
