The goal for this project was to hide all the air-conditioning units in the inner courtyard of the hotel. Premium rooms looked directly out on to air-conditioning units that were unsightly and noisy when running. Vistafolia® was asked to design a wall that was at least 12 feet high to obscure the view, but also allow access for maintenance of the machinery. We designed a timber-framed structure which we clad with Vistafolia® Signature Panels, adding additional foliage from our Color Boxes to create larger drifts of grasses and foliage with a small smash of color from some delicate light green/yellow flowers. The green wall privacy screen also provided an acoustic benefit, as it lowered the noise level of the air-conditioning units.

Kelsy and Raymond wanted to have their two guest bedrooms to be transformed into an Ocean and Zen Room. The Ocean room or “Beach” room is one of Kelsy’s favorite. She expresses her love for Humpback Whales and we didn’t want to miss on that. This sanctuary has that feel of the ocean breeze and you can hear the waves smashing on white sand. The Zen room is indeed a space of calm and peace. This room serves as an office for Raymond on some days and a massage room for Kelsy. As you have seen the before of their living room, the green sofa is a keeper perfect for this room along with the glass coffee table.

This project combines three main strengths of Smash Design Build: architecture, landscape, and craftsmanship in concise and composed spaces. Lush planting in modern, rusting steel planters surround wooden decks, which feature a Japanese soaking tub.

We were so proud to have been featured in the premier SF edition of Cottages and Gardens Magazine. Those of us from the east coast and in the design world will know the publication as they have editions for NYC, the Hamptons, and Connecticut. The editor of the sf edition Alisa Carroll is doing a smashing job and she was also brave enough to spend a day in our studio shooting when it was really really cold....It is now over 100 degrees in the shop in the afternoons, I wonder if we can get her to come back. ;) http://www.cottages-gardens.com/San-Francisco-Cottages-Gardens/April-2014/Randy-Tuell-Victoria-Reynolds-Metal-Arts-Studio/

The Pool Box sites a small secondary residence and pool alongside an existing residence, set in a rolling Hill Country community. The project includes design for the structure, pool, and landscape - combined into a sequence of spaces of soft native planting, painted Texas daylight, and timeless materials. A careful entry carries one from a quiet landscape, stepping down into an entertainment room. Large glass doors open into a sculptural pool.

Variations of blue, from seafoam to navy, were mixed in this quaint sitting area. As a multipurpose room, hosting both a sofa, chairs, and a small desk, we wanted this space to be inviting yet sophisticated. Smashing bursts of gold and a warm beige background allow the textiles, artwork, and decor to pop. Project by Richmond Hill interior design firm Lumar Interiors. Also serving Aurora, Newmarket, King City, Markham, Thornhill, Vaughan, York Region, and the Greater Toronto Area.

Greens and whites were featured on our color palette for this project and the results were smashing. The blackstar gravel band is featured in the foreground while the plant beds reveal the colors mentioned. This is all watered with highly efficient drip technology with the help of on and off-site weather stations. What a beautiful fall day.
