Inspiration for a contemporary backyard brick patio remodel in Chicago with no cover

San Marino based clients were interested in developing a property that had been in their family for generations. This was an exciting proposition as it was one of the last surviving bayside double lots on the scenic Coronado peninsula in San Diego. They desired a holiday home that would be a gathering place for their large, close- knit family.
San Marino based clients were interested in developing a property that had been in their family for generations. This was an exciting proposition as it was one of the last surviving bayside double lots on the scenic Coronado peninsula in San Diego. They desired a holiday home that would be a gathering place for their large, close-knit family. Facing the Back Bay, overlooking downtown and the Bay Bridge, this property presented us with a unique opportunity to design a vacation home with a dual personality. One side faces a bustling harbor with a constant parade of yachts, cargo vessels and military ships while the other opens onto a deep, quiet contemplative garden. The home’s shingle-style influence carries on the historical Coronado tradition of clapboard and Craftsman bungalows built in the shadow of the great Hotel Del Coronado which was erected at the turn of the last century. In order to create an informal feel to the residence, we devised a concept that eliminated the need for a “front door”. Instead, one walks through the garden and enters the “Great Hall” through either one of two French doors flanking a walk-in stone fireplace. Both two-story bedroom wings bookend this central wood beam vaulted room which serves as the “heart of the home”, and opens to both views. Three sets of stairs are discretely tucked away inside the bedroom wings.
In lieu of a formal dining room, the family convenes and dines around a beautiful table and banquette set into a circular window bay off the kitchen which overlooks the lights of the city beyond the harbor. Working with noted interior designer Betty Ann Marshall, we designed a unique kitchen that was inspired by the colors and textures of a fossil the couple found on a honeymoon trip to the quarries of Montana. We set that ancient fossil into a matte glass backsplash behind the professional cook’s stove. A warm library with walnut paneling and a bayed window seat affords a refuge for the family to read or play board games. The couple’s fine craft and folk art collection is on prominent display throughout the house and helps to set an intimate and whimsical tone.
Another architectural feature devoted to family is the play room lit by a dramatic cupola which beacons the older grandchildren and their friends. Below the play room is a four car garage that allows the patriarch space to refurbish an antique fire truck, a mahogany launch boat and several vintage cars. Their jet skis and kayaks are housed in another garage designed for that purpose. Lattice covered skylights that allow dappled sunlight to bathe the loggia affords a comfortable refuge to watch the kids swim and gaze out upon the rushing water, the Coronado Bay Bridge and the romantic downtown San Diego skyline.

Architectural visualization for a large-scale residential development located in the suburban area of Almaty, Kazakhstan, surrounded by forest and natural landscape. The complex consists of 39 residential blocks designed as a family retreat — a quiet, green community away from the city, yet with all modern amenities.
The visualization brief required conveying the lifestyle of the development — families with children, natural greenery, warm evening light in windows, landscaped courtyards with wooden play structures. Multiple views were rendered: street-facing facade in daylight, sunset/evening facade, and courtyard perspective from the playground level.

We are proud to support the 2019 Canadian Home Builders Association’s Parade of Homes. These whisper-quiet home automated roller shades by Lutron Electronics are part of the Brost Developments Inc. custom build. Lutron offers everything you’ve wanted in a window covering: convenience, child & pet friendly, effortless control, energy-efficient, easy to use, easy to afford, and available in a wide variety of colors & materials.

Removed an old fireplace that wasn't used, refinished the walls, and relocated the utilized wood burning stove to the corner - the goal to open up the space and create a functional and inviting area to share visits and quiet time by the warm fire, as well as make the most of light and view through the window. We also removed carpet from the stairway and refinished with wood.

Construct No. 1 explores the quiet relationship between structure and intuition. Developed through a custom indexing system, each element was individually positioned before becoming part of the final composition, allowing the work to emerge through a sequence of deliberate decisions rather than predetermined geometry.
