Bathroom - large traditional master bathroom idea in San Francisco

A conventional house on the outside, completely opened in the center with upper balconies and internal bridges to bring space and light into a boxy perimeter.

A screen composed of wood slats redirects the flow of traffic upon entry to the house, creating a sense of separation between the entryway and adjacent living room. A bench with built-in shoe storage is nestled into the front bay window, and a long wall of closets accommodate jackets and outerwear, sports equipment, and cleaning supplies. By gradually changing the angle of the slats across the screen, we were able to provide privacy for the family room, while permitting light to penetrate deep into the house from the front window and door.

This treehouse comes complete with a front porch and sleeping loft. The railings and banisters were all sourced and built on site. Rubber inner tube and wire ties make the roof water tight at the penetrations and still allow for the trees to grow. Reclaimed windows and doors completed the construction. Firewater Photography

This house is discreetly tucked into its wooded site in the Mad River Valley near the Sugarbush Resort in Vermont. The soaring roof lines complement the slope of the land and open up views though large windows to a meadow planted with native wildflowers. The house was built with natural materials of cedar shingles, fir beams and native stone walls. These materials are complemented with innovative touches including concrete floors, composite exterior wall panels and exposed steel beams. The home is passively heated by the sun, aided by triple pane windows and super-insulated walls. Photo by: Nat Rea Photography

Thick travertine massing walls penetrate the architecture of this minimalist home in the Arizona desert.
Contemporary exterior home idea in Phoenix

The unique opportunity and challenge for the Joshua Tree project was to enable the architecture to prioritize views. Set in the valley between Mummy and Camelback mountains, two iconic landforms located in Paradise Valley, Arizona, this lot “has it all” regarding views. The challenge was answered with what we refer to as the desert pavilion. This highly penetrated piece of architecture carefully maintains a one-room deep composition. This allows each space to leverage the majestic mountain views. The material palette is executed in a panelized massing composition. The home, spawned from mid-century modern DNA, opens seamlessly to exterior living spaces providing for the ultimate in indoor/outdoor living.

This 1000 sqf addition & remodel in the heart of downtown on West Annie Street was meant to be a retreat for its owner. The addition consists of a dining & gallery open to the outside with a U-shaped courtyard. The outdoor sitting allows for light penetration to the indoors and entertaining. A master suite and bathroom were added with high ceilings and windows which again allow the flow of natural light. A remodel was also done to the existing bathroom and kitchen.

Locally sourced hardwood fence. Fence will go silver once it has weathered. Stepped up with slope of back yard to maintain privacy and light penetration at the same time.

Image Quest Photography - All tiled floors and walls have a water penetrating membrane, to avoid water damage from leaks. Fortified grout was used on all tiled surfaces (with water near) for longevity and to inhibit mold.
