This passive solar cottage included energy efficiency and sustainability strategies across all divisions of construction, from the LEED concrete mixes to the custom designed bio-mass wood boiler hydronic heating system. The clients – a forestry consultant and an energy policy advocate – drove the design and construction of the project to be an extremely unique and functional building. Fundamentals of passive solar design and sun-tempering were the basis around which the major project parameters were established. The active space conditioning and domestic hot water is provided by a visible-flame architectural wood boiler, backed up by a bio-diesel boiler. Other features include decorative polished concrete slab floors; locally-sourced hybrid timber frame components; custom sawn northern white cedar beveled siding; oak stair treads sourced from the property; heart pine flooring for Fall River mill timbers; super-insulated assemblies with cellulose and insulated sheathing; and reclaimed, restored lighting and plumbing fixtures.

An artwork niche required a custom wood and iron console table designed to fit the space perfectly.

Our clients completed the modern luxe rehab of their Lincoln Park Victorian and needed a decor refresh. The challenge: to create toddler (and poodle) friendly decor that didn’t cramp their eclectic, high-end style. Custom furnishings, modern lighting and the client’s original artwork came together beautifully, highlighting the gorgeous vintage features of the home.

Designed and realized by WL3 Designs, The Albero Respite is a paradigm of contemporary minimalist architecture, where serene simplicity meets functional elegance. Named after the Italian word for 'tree', the home pays homage to the solitary olive tree gracing its courtyard, symbolizing peace and resilience.
This single-story structure emerges from the landscape with clean lines and expansive glass facades that dissolve the barriers between indoor space and the natural world outside. White, the dominant hue, serves not just as a design choice but as a canvas for the play of light and shadow, changing with the sun’s whims.
WL3 Designs has meticulously crafted each element of The Albero Respite to embody the principles of sustainable design while providing a haven of tranquility.
The home's orientation and glazing are engineered to optimize natural light and promote passive heating and cooling, reducing the need for artificial climate control. It stands as a testament to the possibility of living in harmony with nature without forgoing modern luxury and comfort.
Designing for the desert requires in-depth understanding of the extreme temperatures that range here.
From freezing temperatures in the winter to blistering hot ones in the summer, the region contains every extreme, and the homes that are built in it must also. Rains and wind, endless sunshine, these are all elements that we considered when designing for this region.
In addition to using modern strategies, we referred to ancient design concepts embraced by native people for generations, combining the two to create modern homes in this timeless, desert environment.

Modern Bedroom Design
This ultra-modern bedroom features ample space for one to two people. Along with a great sitting area for mornings or evening reading, the room features a large window looking out onto a picturesque garden. The window is equipped with slat shades that can be opened or closed, allowing natural light in during the morning if you so desire. The room itself is equipped with beautiful art pieces and fixtures that go a long way toward complimenting the modern design and bringing out the flow of the room.
In addition to the incredible natural light and art pieces, the room is equipped with 40x40 tiles which do an outstanding job of reflecting both natural and artificial light. This is a passive feature that brings more illumination to the room while demanding less energy, and it also means the room will appear larger, making the most out of a smaller space.
Overall, it really brings a modern vibe and mood lifting textures that truly capture the spirit of the Miami Beach area. The solid white textures, complimented by sleek furniture, make this a fully functional, and aesthetically pleasing environment to live in.

This dated bedroom got a complete refresh.
