The Boulevarde began with an artwork commissioned by the clients from eminent Aboriginal artist BiBi Barba. This artwork influenced the creative process throughout and is etched across its many elements to create a harmony of light and shade when combined with sustainable features such as the Green roof and long cantilevered sections. Working within the confines of a narrow block, the desire was to diverge from the typical and create a home at once distinct and blended with its surrounds. The Boulevarde embodies sustainability in every aspect of its construction. Fully automated yet designed for living. The five-bedroom home is a distinctly modern design letting in light and energy from the outside world to create a seamless sanctuary. From the global first Hydronic heating for the swimming pool to the plant rich Green roof, the house harmonises with its environment collecting rainwater for irrigation, using solar technology to heat the water and also provide free power to the occupants, while using external automatic window shades to moderate interior temperature. The Boulevarde has set new benchmarks for sustainable building in the wider industry. Bespoke, in every element The Boulevarde is an active space designed to enhance daily life. The brilliant result is to the designers and builders testaments.

The project began with the owner’s vision to create on their Atherton property a new home, reminiscent of the Mediterranean villas and gardens they loved to visit on European holidays. They wanted to create an oasis, a home that would nurture their creativity and foster a feeling of calm. The design creates this sense of transition right as you enter the property, through a long, tree-lined driveway, thru a custom gate and into a gracious entry court. Walking through a formal entry garden, you arrive at a round entry tower, completing the transition from street to home. Separated into three primary zones, the main bedroom wing is a two-story volume anchoring one side of the center Living / Dining spaces, while the 2-story Library and Kitchen / Family Room anchor the other. All of the primary public spaces in the home are oriented toward the rear garden. The home features 5,500 square feet of living space, a 3-car garage, a separate guest suite and private master sauna pavilion. Solar power, battery back-up, integrated building controls and on-site water storage are a few of the technical systems installed.

Stylishly updated home that I listed and sold for $240,000 over list price in the Cambrian neighborhood of San Jose in 2023. Sophisticated single story 3 bed / 2 bath home with an open floorplan. Spacious and light-filled, with upgraded light fixtures and refinished hardwood flooring adding charm and warmth. Remodeled kitchen features double, gas-powered ovens, a 6-burner gas cook top, quartzite counters and walnut island countertop. Beautifully landscaped, with a shade-covered deck and drought tolerant landscaping.

This striking modern kitchen remodel demonstrates the full power of The Design House as a vertically integrated design-build firm. The centerpiece is the massive Quartz Waterfall Island, featuring a precise mitered edge that allows the veining to cascade seamlessly down the side. Because we control the entire process, this project was executed with single-source accountability: Fabrication: Our in-house team at Stonemeyer Granite handled the complex cutting and mitered fabrication, ensuring a flawless vein match on the waterfall leg. Plumbing: Our dedicated plumbing division, Haltex Plumbing, managed all fixture installations and infrastructure updates. Total Transformation: From the dark modern cabinetry to the brass hardware and lighting. This project illustrates the difference between a standard contractor and a true Total Transformation company. By owning the stone shop and the plumbing license, we deliver superior details and faster timelines.

What began as a traditional ranch home with low ceilings, compartmentalized rooms, and limited sight lines was transformed into a bright, open gathering space designed for modern living. By removing structural walls and vaulting the ceiling throughout the main living areas, we completely reimagined the home's architecture while preserving its warmth and character. The new kitchen serves as the heart of the home, anchored by a dramatic full-height stone feature wall, expansive island, and thoughtfully layered finishes. Rich stained cabinetry contrasts beautifully with crisp white perimeter cabinets, creating a timeless palette that feels both sophisticated and inviting. Beyond the kitchen, the renovation reconnected the living, dining, and entertaining spaces, allowing natural light to flow freely throughout the home. Every design decision was made to improve the way the family lives, gathers, and experiences their home each day. This project is a testament to the power of looking beyond the existing floor plan and envisioning what a home can truly become.

Le Griddle Stainless Steel Teppanyaki Grill has two 9,000 BTU u-burners (18,000 BTUs total), giving you all the power needed for high heat searing on the griddle surface and total control with dual control knobs. There are no other complicated features needed, just a pair of control knobs and ignition button to start cooking. The burners are fully protected from wind to keep them from being blown out, but in case of very high-winds or other circumstances, there is an automatic shutoff control that will stop the flow of gas if the flame goes out. Solid 304 stainless steel cook top has a fused cast iron plate underneath to give you an incredibly even cook top from edge to edge.

Tucked on Long Island, this dynamic and charming hardscape design speaks worlds to the power of a creative and well-balanced layout. Featuring areas for cooking, serving cocktails, dining and swimming, guests and family flow seamlessly from space to space with a feeling of intimate comfort and coziness. Unilock concrete pavers provide the smooth, elegant tone at the base of the patio and poolscape, while touches of soft gardens and trees add pops of color and natural balance. Both the shape of the pool and placement of the serving bar creatively utilize the area while leaving open areas for guests to mingle and lounge. This complete overhaul transformed the Long Island property into a calming retreat for rest, play and conversation.

This spacious kitchen design in Yardley is a bright, open plan space bathed in natural light from the large windows, doors, and skylights. The white perimeter cabinets from Koch and Company are complemented by handmade subway tile and MSI Surfaces Calcatta Venice quartz countertop. The white color scheme is beautifully contrasted by blue island cabinetry with a bi-level countertop and barstool seating. The island also includes a Task Lighting angled power strip, a narrow wine refrigerator, and a white Blanco Siligranit apron front sink with a Riobel Edge faucet and chrome soap dispenser. The kitchen cabinets are accented by Top Knobs Lydia style pulls in chrome. Bosch stainless appliances feature throughout the kitchen, including a microwave drawer and a Bosch stainless chimney hood. Dark hardwood flooring from Meridian brings depth to the style. The natural lighting is complemented by pendant lights from Wage Lighting, undercabinet lighting, and upper glass front cabinets with in cabinet lighting.

Deborah Dyste, ASID added locks at several location in this desk design. With three, small children in the home it was deemed prudent. A cabinet at the end of the island is dedicated to storage of art supplies for the children. Photography by Jennifer Kraft.
