Set within a low-traffic residential street, this apartment building carries classical mouldings, an arched portal, and weathered siding. The client sought to reinforce entry security without disrupting the historic character. We specified a wrought-iron gate for ornamental softness and installed a Ninja Deterrent™ spike line above the arch—low-profile yet highly effective in deterring balcony access. The Ninja Deterrent™ profile adds a crisp linear accent that complements both the scrollwork of the gate and the classical cornice above. Finished in matte black, the spike line reads as a deliberate architectural detail rather than an afterthought. Behind the gate, a stair leads to the upper units. The open sky well ensures daylight penetration, while a compact floodlight secures visibility after dusk. The Ninja Deterrent™ spike line secures the intermediate landing without obstructing the view.

This architectural hallway leads to a private media room while remaining connected to the home’s main entertaining spaces.

Natural light and views to the pool area anchor the corridor, balancing privacy with connection.

Using design expertise, proper engineering and modern building practices, Elite Landscaping transformed an outdated, crumbling concrete pool and landscape into a fresh, award-winning masterpiece. Highlights of this outdoor living space and pool renovation include: Repaving the entire pool deck with travertine. Adding a 13-person year-round spa. Building a pool house with 20’ open cedar-beam ceilings over the men’s and women's changing rooms. Expanding and reinforcing an outdoor deck, finishing the under-deck ceiling and building a full-service, outdoor bar beneath it. Additionally, the Elite team designed a multi-level patio with sunken fire pit, flanked by natural boulders and flagstone paths. The pièce de résistance, however, is the custom-concrete waterfall and grotto, with natural interior skylights and customized water features.

Located on a lot along the Rocky River sits a 1,300 sf 24’ x 24’ two-story dwelling divided into a four square quadrant with the goal of creating a variety of interior and exterior experiences within a small footprint.

The opening of a two-story volume maximizes long views down the Rocky River where its mouth meets Lake Erie as internally the house reflects the passions and experiences of its owners.

This photo shows the newly poured concrete patio slab during the backyard renovation of the Yaghoubi Residence in Kerrisdale, Vancouver. The slab was constructed to create a durable and level outdoor surface adjacent to the deck and backyard living areas. Proper grading, base preparation, and reinforcement were completed prior to the concrete pour to ensure long-term stability and drainage. This new hardscape element helps organize the backyard layout while providing a functional outdoor space that connects the deck, walkways, and surrounding landscape areas.

On the edge of the Dartmouth campus is Occom Pond. It has a lane around it that's great for jogging and walking a loop. Skaters use the pond in winter. It's also ringed with lovely homes. Built by O'Hara Gercke. I took the photo. When Smith & Vansant first met this house on the pond, it was a neglected 1920's cottage, with quirky wings added on. But from across the pond, it was was a sculptural composition of white gables and chimneys. As I did the schematic design, removing and enlarging wings and the garage, I wanted to keep the charm and character of the house. We convinced the clients to reinforce the graphic palette of the house, keeping the stark white, changing the brown window and trim to black, and discouraged them from adding green shutters. So in the summer, the white gables and chimneys contrast with the green trees. In the winter the meadow the scene turns all white, and skaters skim by on the pond.

A seamless panel-front refrigerator with slim brass pulls blends into the white cabinetry beside a knotty alder paneled door. The marble slab backsplash, fluted brass sconce, and edge of the blue range reinforce the kitchen's warm, refined palette.
