Perched on a hillside cul-de-sac lot in Brentwood CA, the Gagne Residence enjoys an unusually private street condition and views toward the ocean, city, and surrounding tree lined hills. To maximize dwelling and garden area on the mostly sloped site, the house is broken into two general volumes, one volume responding to the level and orientation of the street, the other, wrapping and descending along the hill’s contour, acting as retainer while providing a third dwelling level and preserving ample area for a garden.

This was a project I did for a very nice family in Town and Country who have twin boys that were ready to transform their rooms into "big boy" rooms. This young man chose to go with a race car them. So we pulled the wallpaper down, patched the walls where needed, primed over the patches and any wallpaper glue that remained, and finally painted the walls from top to bottom. I always use Sherwin Williams paints.

BC&J Architecture designed a floating home that is now located at its permanent location on the Willamette River in Portland. The home was constructed at a Marina an hour from the final home location. Upon completion, the home was floated up the Willamette River to the current site. The homeowners were looking for a river side, cottage style house well suited to entertaining. At 2,100 square feet, the home has an open floor plan with a large kitchen opening to a dining room and the living room with views onto the river. Upstairs, the master bedroom extends toward the river under a large centered dormer. On the opposite side of the master bedroom is a bonus room under a symmetrical dormer that will serve as guest quarters when adult children and grandchildren visit.

2D Rendering - White quartz gravel is a less expensive patio option for a narrow, yet long, patch of backyard ground. Adding steps, down a slope, opens up additional small spaces below.

This studio kitchen by Chris Gate is on the polar opposite of the previous photo. San Francisco is home to a residential remodel boom. We're not talking about individual units, but entire industrial and commercial parks are being bought, gutted, and transformed into large residential spaces. This unit in the Dog Patch, s`tarted with the kitchen first, walls second.

The floor in this mudroom had been patched before and had a nice, long hump in the middle that angled to the wall. So, I had to use some concrete leveler to make sure it was straight.

Patches of green grass surround this pool in the desert. The hot tub is located on the far right of the shot, and has a small "stream" that winds a bit before it waterfalls into the pool. Brett Drury Architectural Photography
