This chic, modern design is the crown jewel of this San Antonio community. The outdoor space was designed for luxury entertaining and every element infused with a touch of elegance and functionality. Beginning with the glass-tiled negative edge spa stylishly separating the two swimming areas, to the fire-wall and putting green, followed by the outdoor kitchen area with a gorgeous fire pit, and lastly, the unique spaces that offer multiple areas of entertaining with a sense of privacy. The porcelain decking flows seamlessly from the house and creates a singular space when the vanishing doors are open.

This beautiful 1980's home is on an acre and half and touts a producing vineyard on the down slope off the back patio which stretches across the entire house. Landscaping is gorgeous and drought friendly. Views of the valley are exquisite from every back window and patio.

The backyard was practically a singular selling point to this couple, as it is larger than the interior of their home, and their previous home included outdoor space the size of a small closet. The bones of this space were intact. It just needed a lot of love and some things from scratch. They were a dream to work with, and I think what we accomplished in this space is a dream for them to live with.

This beautiful off-white arched window is made with Lockridge natural thin stone veneer from the Quarry Mill. Lockridge is a quintessential grey toned dimensional real stone veneer. From a distance the stones appear to be a solid and singular color, however, upon closer inspection one can see the unique veining. Some pieces have solid horizontal lines running through the stone, whereas, others have a more speckled appearance. Every individual piece has its own character, a quality that can only be achieved with natural stone. Lockridge has sawn heights of 2.25”, 5” and 7.75” and is cut specifically for a half inch mortar joint. Larger heights are available upon request depending on the scale of the project.

White and grey kitchens are timeless designs for homes everywhere. This kitchen, while may be a grey themed kitchen, packs some punches in some design choices. First, they chose a wood countertop for their island to offset their marble countertop. But what we love the most (of course) is our Mod Mosaics tile throughout the kitchen. Mod Mosaics are a great way to continue ones theme of a single color (usually neutral) but then you have the open to throw in some color accents to bring out your spaces personality. This is exactly what these homeowners did--a singular grey color with several other colors interspersed throughout. The result? This is one drool worthy kitchen! Mod Mosaics: 1″x6″s, 2″x6″s – 77E Gray, 60 Silver Lining / Accent Bubbles and 1″x1″s – 1043 Driftwood, 906W Burnt Sugar, 1013 Denim / Accent Stix, Color(s): 956 Smoke N’ Mirrors

clé has named our classic white zellige tile- weathered white. that is because even though it is a white terracotta tile of a singular color, that color is made up of, literally, dozens of shades of white. the morrocan handmade tile complements the elegant kitchen design and greatly contrasts between the navy blue, perfect combination of modern and rustic. shop zellige "weathered white" here: https://www.cletile.com/collections/zellige-2x6-subway/products/zellige-terracotta-weathered-white-2x6?variant= designed by Ashli Mizell photography by Jason Varney

Inspiration for a mid-sized contemporary light wood floor entryway remodel in Dallas with white walls and a glass front door

Our clients had a cramped and outdated kitchen that lacked flow. They envisioned a space the family could share, including an eat-in kitchen with an island. Their small master bathroom also needed a facelift, more counter space, and storage options. They desired both spaces to be clean with a modern aesthetic. Thoughtful architectural planning dramatically opened the space in this home to encompass the kitchen, dining, and hallway areas into one unified expanse. JRP removed the soffit and pushed back the appliance wall into the hallway to create the space needed for the central island-a place to hang out while dinner is being made, but also double as an additional food prep area. The cabinetry, along with the quartz backsplash and countertop, made for a clean, modern look. Upstairs, the master bathroom transformed into a clutter-free zen zone. The tiny closet and outdated vanity were removed and replaced by an integrated counter space with white oak cabinetry, drawers, and open space shelving. The dated round-framed mirrors were swapped out in favor of one large, singular mirror. The most used areas in this home are now comfortable and polished with surfaces that are both simple and easy to clean. This remodel design embraces modern living at its best. The focus on clean, uncluttered lines, light timber elements, and white countertops came together to give our clients the minimalist esthetics they were looking for.

With a desire to stay close to friends and family, the owners of this 1984 home spent several years searching for property near their neighborhood to build a new, more modern, energy-conscious home tailored to their empty-nest lifestyle. They eventually concluded that their current site was the perfect location for them, but the home needed to be updated and reorganized to create fresh, open, unified spaces to comfortably welcome gatherings of family, friends, and guests. Before renovation, the floor plan included small rooms, dedicated hallways, a step-down living room, a heavy and dark corner fireplace, and limited opportunities for natural light and visual connections from space to space. Exterior deck areas were narrow, long, and used infrequently. Primary goals of this project included accessibility of space, more natural light, better connectivity between spaces, and a focus on sustainable performance. The updated main floor plan included the selective removal of walls to reallocate dedicated hall space to usable, open living area. The step-down living room was leveled for full accessibility, safety, furniture flexibility and overall space use. The removal of a half-height wall between the living area and the kitchen created continuity between the spaces. Reorganizing the primary entry and stair and eliminating walls between the entry and dining room created new visual connections between the kitchen and the entry. The new central concrete hearth and fireplace provides a strong, modern focal point for the living area. Large sliding glass doors on each side of the fireplace allow the TV area beyond to be separated from the living area as needed. In several strategic locations, the footprint of the house was expanded to enhance function and flow at the kitchen, dining room, and mudroom. The new outdoor deck area is now large and singular and includes a grille area, dining space and open seating overlooking the newly landscaped pool below. The exterior envelope of the house includes new insulation, siding, and energy-efficient windows, as well as two large roof-mounted solar arrays, to increase thermal performance and to offset energy costs. Inside, the new HVAC system maximizes energy efficiency while using a fraction of its former footprint. As a result, a portion of the former mechanical space was added back to the lower level family room area and expands into a cozy library nook. MMA partnered with the owner’s interior designer and kitchen designer to achieve a softer, contemporary palette of finishes that complement this newly configured, light-filled home.

Triskele Spiral This door was created to showcase the oversized carved triskele spiral grouping at its center, inspired by The Book of Durrow. The rich mahogany holds these spiraling Celtic designs in a lighthearted yet fashionable form, lending an inviting welcome to mountain guests as they arrive. The homeowners wanted an entrance that was beautiful yet approachable and playful for the eye, as well as an element that ties into the rock adorning their home and the surrounding mountains. Raleigh is influenced by countless individuals and cultures, but one of his most versed art forms is the Druid art of patterns and knot works. Drawing from ancient books created by the Druids, Raleigh is able to recreate beautiful designs that have deep-seeded meaning to the ancient people of Europe; The Book of Kells and The Book of Durrow are both fantastic examples. The use of triskele spirals within larger designs, as well as singular, was very popular in Celtic culture. A great example of a larger design made up of multiple triskeles can be viewed on page 29. In this design a man with a woven beard crouches in garb decorated with endless knots and key patterns as he collects a spiraling universe made up of triskele spiral groups. The Triskele Spiral door makes use of these beautiful designs, accentuated by the rich woods and fractured moss rock. The Triskele Spiral door uses the Renfree Carving Studios Earthquake Pattern to tie the entrance way to the rough rock details carried throughout the exterior of the house. This unique pattern also reflects the surrounding mountains with their vast exposed fractured stone.

A roof extension was added to create a screened porch facing the golf course. The framing for the screened area was reduced by using Screen Tight MINItrack. The exterior windows in the loggia were replaced from twin windows to a singular large window to bring the outdoors in.

When our client bought this house, it was stuck in limbo between the traditional interior and a 90's modern structure. The direction we took was a combination of calm beige color scheme with clean lines and smooth surfaces. The continuation of the same materials throughout the house finally bonded all the different spaces into a singular home. The two guest bathrooms were made with Cloe zellige style tiles and custom floating vanities made from white oak. The same oak was used also for the built-in TV wall as floating shelves and base cabinets with a large, tiled center piece for the recessed TV and the electric fireplace. The kitchen also received some of the white oak love in the form of the Island and the recessed cooking area. The biggest issue with the kitchen space was the lack of proportions between the width and its length vs. the extreme height of the vaulted ceiling. The solution I came up with was a secondary line of wall cabinets to be the same depth as the full height units to create a wrap around and make the space more proportionate. Continuing to the master bathroom, here we have a true walk-in master bath suite, no door needed with this size of space. All the walls received porcelain semi slab treatment. (72x36 porcelain tile) a lot of work went into selecting the correct tile pieces to give it the effect of a single slab installation but without the added cost. All fixtures are by Kohler with their fantastic modern gold finish. The result was a perfect flow of calm beige colors and warmth of natural wood throughout.

Located on an extraordinary hillside site above the San Fernando Valley, the Sherman Residence was designed to unite indoors and outdoors. The house is made up of as a series of board-formed concrete, wood and glass pavilions connected via intersticial gallery spaces that together define a central courtyard. From each room one can see the rich and varied landscape, which includes indigenous large oaks, sycamores, “working” plants such as orange and avocado trees, palms and succulents. A singular low-slung wood roof with deep overhangs shades and unifies the overall composition. CLIENT: Jerry & Zina Sherman PROJECT TEAM: Peter Tolkin, John R.
