The apartment occupies the third floor of a prominent corner property originally constructed in 1860. The building was formerly two neighbouring town houses, reconfigured in 1939 as a residential school for girls. In 1968, the State of Kuwait purchased the property which became their London Embassy until 2000 at which time the two houses were converted into 13 flats. Amos Goldreich Architecture was appointed as lead architects to create a contemporary 3 bedroom home within this Grade II Listed Building. AGA has sought to rationalise the formerly over-complex configuration, clarifying spatial sequences and creating a coherent visual palette. The apartment is finished to a high standard, with bespoke joinery and ingenious storage solutions.

By Nancy Erdmann | Photography by Steve Thompson For someone who loves to garden and has done so in many areas of the U.S., taking on the challenge of a rocky, boulder-strewn hillside lot in the Sonoran Desert is something that Carey Bertsch relishes. “I was born in Scotland but grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. My husband, Robin, is from Indiana. We have always loved everything about the Southwest. The sunny, arid climate; the lifestyle; the flora; the fauna—they all resonate with us,” she remarks. As such, the couple, who are based in Colorado, decided to purchase a part-time residence in Arizona. They found a Santa Fe Territorial-style home that’s tucked into the base of a steep slope in North Scottsdale’s Estancia community. Populated with natural boulder outcroppings, the property’s landscape was rudimentary at best. “But we saw the potential and knew it could be so much more,” recalls Carey. She and her husband lived in the house for several years before making any major changes; they recently completed a total exterior remodel.

Our Client's purchased a very small and quaint lakefront home in Mount Dora Florida. It was a beautiful property, but the house was way to small for their needs. Working with the homeowners and a local Architect, we were able to more than double the square footage of the home, add a two car garage and workshop and a new screened in pool and jacuzzi spa tub.

Our clients hired us to design their second home in Northern Michigan; a place they could relax, unwind and enjoy all that Northern Michigan has to offer. Their main residence is in St. Louis, Missouri and they first came to Northern Michigan on vacation with friends. They fell in love with the area and ultimately purchased property in the Walloon area. In addition to the lot they build their home on, they also purchased the lot next door to have plenty of room to garden. The finished product includes a large, open area great room and kitchen, master bedroom and laundry on the main level as well as two guest bedrooms; laundry and a large living area in the walk-out lower level. The large upper deck as well as lower patio offer plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors and their lovely view of beautiful Walloon lake.

In early 1970's art collector Adelaide de Menil and her anthropologist husband Ted Edmund Carpenter bought a one hundred acre potato farm on the east end of Long Island in East Hampton. In the years that followed the couple began purchasing historically significant homes and had them moved to their property on Further Lane where they began the process of lovingly restoring them with the help of DiSunno Architecture, P.C. In total they purchased and remodeled 13 buildings. Once barns and farm houses, the buildings were transformed into exquisite homes with a minimalist sensibilities, each connecting in their own way to the magnificent landscape in this seaside community beside the dunes. When the couple decided to sell the property in 2005 the question on what to do with homes arose as the new owners were not intending on keeping the homes in tact. A perfect solution presented itself and the couple returned the buildings to the community by having them moved to Town land several miles away and are now currently being used as the Town Hall primary offices for the Supervisor as well as providing an appropriately grand space for meetings and gala's of the East Hampton community.

This charming 1950's era Capitola Village beach house includes three levels, with the upper two enjoying beautiful views of Capitola Beach and the ocean beyond. Before our clients purchased this property in the Spring of 2010, it had been illegally expanded to a triplex. Our challenge was to renovate this house to a single family residence. The City of Capitola was very helpful and eager to approve our plans for this conversion. The result is a welcome addition to the special community that is Capitola-By-The-Sea.

The design of this gorgeous space began as a simple refresh to the existing deck, patio and walls. The owners wanted to prepare the property for sale as they had purchased land and were planning to build their dream home. In the design phase, they visited several properties from the Backyard by Design portfolio and, as a result, the project plans expanded as the owners began to visualize how this project could make their property a backyard retreat. What began as a simple pool replacement quickly expanded in the design phase as we went along. This began with removing the previous pool, building a new one and redesigning the entire space. To address their storage needs, a two level garage was built to house the pool accessories above the vehicles. For comfort, we installed special tiles for the pool deck, which are made for southern climates, a material that does not get hot. Three matching outdoor living areas complete with TV’s and audio systems were created to make entertaining a breeze. And the automated mosquito control system ensures hours of outdoor comfort. Sunken fire pits and elevated areas add to the visual ambiance and help with drainage. A full custom outdoor kitchen with granite worktops and high-end appliances top it off to make this a retreat for the whole family. In 9 months, this property that was being readied for sale had turned into the owner’s dream come true. They decided to sell the land they had purchased and stay in their home to enjoy this backyard oasis.

We were contacted by a client who had just purchased a home and was going to use the garage for more than storage. They wanted something they could be proud of. We elected to go with a new wooden garage door to match the custom cedar fencing we built on the property. We restored and painted the siding to match it with the home. This was a very enjoyable project to work on as the results were clearly a big improvement.
