Photography by Patrick Ray With a footprint of just 450 square feet, this micro residence embodies minimalism and elegance through efficiency. Particular attention was paid to creating spaces that support multiple functions as well as innovative storage solutions. A mezzanine-level sleeping space looks down over the multi-use kitchen/living/dining space as well out to multiple view corridors on the site. To create a expansive feel, the lower living space utilizes a bifold door to maximize indoor-outdoor connectivity, opening to the patio, endless lap pool, and Boulder open space beyond. The home sits on a ¾ acre lot within the city limits and has over 100 trees, shrubs and grasses, providing privacy and meditation space. This compact home contains a fully-equipped kitchen, ¾ bath, office, sleeping loft and a subgrade storage area as well as detached carport.

Inspiration for a modern courtyard pool remodel in Los Angeles

Multi-level composite deck built off the rear of a large two-story home, overlooking an in-ground pool. The deck uses dark composite decking with a contrasting picture-frame border, black aluminum railing on white structural posts, and a wide curved staircase with a landing that steps down to the pool patio. The upper level holds a built-in grilling station and a dining area, with a hot tub set alongside. Designed as a low-maintenance transition between the house and the pool deck.
