Inquire About Our Design Services What we did: I started with a floor plan. I knew the success of this design rested in how the space was mapped out. Lisa and Charles love modern furniture, but they couldn’t seem give each room the warmth they were looking for with modern furnishings, despite their best efforts. I was inspired by photos that they gave me and certain elements in the home that they LOVED. One thing they mentioned was the fireplace and its color. I decided that the fireplace had to be the starting point of the room design, and based the color palette off of that beautiful, earthy orange color. Here’s the highlights of the rest of the project: Charted out the furniture plan for each room. Created blueprints for shelving above Cabinet Storage area. Lisa is an avid reader and my home girl needs a library! Custom designed the sofas, chairs, and an ottoman for the living area. Selected all furnishings, accessories, and art. Created storage for the kids. They are now able to stash their toys when they’re not using them, reducing clutter and keeping the space nice and open. What I love: They gave me the green light to have fun with the fabrics and patterns in the family room. I had a ton of fun with the sofas! That AH-mazing coffee table. It is very unique, and I cannot lie… I secretly wanted it for myself. The art in their living room (very dramatic). With the scale of the room, I knew it was either go big or go home! Total time - 12.5 months

Lot 435 on Deer Trail offered our design team an opportunity to take our signature Mountain Modern architectural style floor plan as lot 178 and modify it to our clients desires and unique lot characteristics. This customization began with a preference to give the master suite its own retreat like setting isolated from the main home. Tailored to the slight slope of the lot our architectural staff nestled a large oversized two car garage, shop and office below the master suite. This sensitivity to the lot orientations differentiates our approach from a more conventional approach which often places the same exact home design on different lots within the community. The result is a home tailored to the site reducing the overall mass. Steel, wood and stone exterior materials balance practicality with aesthetics while keeping cost in mind. A guest home adjacent to the garage is also carefully designed and situated to honor the main home while maintaining privacy for our clients. Similar architectural elements and materials fostered a harmony between the two structures. The main home is a tad over 3000sft plus the garage with the guest home in the 800 sft range. Currently in design development the plan is to break ground Spring of 2021. Bill Reid and the Team of Reid Residential coupled with the Bills construction firm RemodelWest offer complete design-build packages for those desiring to escape to one of the best kept secrets in the Sierra-Nevada Mountains.

The goal of this project was to transform the existing decrepit landscape into a newly modern space with the purpose of entertaining family and friends. The clients also wanted a hint of ‘steam-punk’ incorporated into the overall theme. To achieve the wants and needs of the client a new composite deck was installed with an angular form to maximize space on an already tight backyard with large setbacks. A swim spa was built into the deck and a secret hatch door was installed for any future maintenance. Large angled steps lead you from the deck down to the new random flagstone patio. A large custom pavilion was installed over the patio to shelter users from the elements. Oversized rough Douglas Fir posts and beams were used along with some black powder coated steel bars to achieve the steam punk theme. Extensive engineering was involved to achieve the cantilevered look and reduce the need for an outside post. Tongue and groove cedar planks make up the ceiling of the structure along with LED pot lights. 3 pieces of sandblasted Eramosa stone acts as a bar area for users in the newly installed hot tub. Lastly a frosted glass privacy screen with LED colour changing lights separates the sitting area under the pavilion and the barbecue area of the deck. Some existing plants and shrubs were salvaged during construction and were reused in the new low maintenance-planting plan. A new section of fence closes off the backyard for the homeowner’s dogs and a new gate was created with the use of steel bars to mirror the pavilion.
