Perfectly minimal and innovative seating design the Obelisk represents the modernist ideal of form follows function with a ‘futurist slant’.
The simplicity is evident and while Obelisk has a formality about it on the one hand, this has then been played with and some great twists added. The essentially rectangular forms that make up the body of this piece, have striking angular facets, while the whole upholstery has a pronounced tilt and is slightly elevated on broad, sturdy formed legs. The generous size, method of construction, and excellent ergonomics provide superb comfort and personal space in both the chair and sofa lengths.
Obelisk was awarded a special mention for the Young & Design at the International Milan Furniture Fair, won the Inside IDEA Awards for product and has now been specified worldwide for prestigious architectural projects and installations including the famous Denver Art Museum.

Atherton has many large substantial homes - our clients purchased an existing home on a one acre flag-shaped lot and asked us to design a new dream home for them. The result is a new 7,000 square foot four-building complex consisting of the main house, six-car garage with two car lifts, pool house with a full one bedroom residence inside, and a separate home office /work out gym studio building. A fifty-foot swimming pool was also created with fully landscaped yards.
Given the rectangular shape of the lot, it was decided to angle the house to incoming visitors slightly so as to more dramatically present itself. The house became a classic u-shaped home but Feng Shui design principals were employed directing the placement of the pool house to better contain the energy flow on the site. The main house entry door is then aligned with a special Japanese red maple at the end of a long visual axis at the rear of the site. These angles and alignments set up everything else about the house design and layout, and views from various rooms allow you to see into virtually every space tracking movements of others in the home.
The residence is simply divided into two wings of public use, kitchen and family room, and the other wing of bedrooms, connected by the living and dining great room. Function drove the exterior form of windows and solid walls with a line of clerestory windows which bring light into the middle of the large home. Extensive sun shadow studies with 3D tree modeling led to the unorthodox placement of the pool to the north of the home, but tree shadow tracking showed this to be the sunniest area during the entire year.
Sustainable measures included a full 7.1kW solar photovoltaic array technically making the house off the grid, and arranged so that no panels are visible from the property. A large 16,000 gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of tanks buried below grade was installed. The home is California GreenPoint rated and also features sealed roof soffits and a sealed crawlspace without the usual venting. A whole house computer automation system with server room was installed as well. Heating and cooling utilize hot water radiant heated concrete and wood floors supplemented by heat pump generated heating and cooling.
A compound of buildings created to form balanced relationships between each other, this home is about circulation, light and a balance of form and function. Photo by Philip Liang Photography.

A "Levitt" Home is named after an American real-estate developer who experimented with mass housing projects on the East Coast. Levitt & Sons' first successful housing development was located on almost 20 square miles of land near Hempstead, Long Island and was named Levittown. The assembly line construction method allowed Levittown to be constructed more efficiently than other developments at the time, with teams of specialized workers following each other from house to house to complete incremental steps in the construction.
A key element of a Levitt home is a fireplace smack dab in the middle of the kitchen; a kitchen designers dream (haha!!) Here is the view of the fireplace our designers have to work with and around when designing for a Levitt home.

The main propose to design this building was, examinant and create new construction method in cold climate of Hamadan. So we tried to use new dry walls to construct this building.
Each of different forms is related to the one function. In other word, the plan has three different spaces with their own special function. Each space has different scale, form and height from others, but the composition of three forms make a united building.
The deconstructed form is inspired from deconstruction process of live genetics. It means, we use the main subject of laboratory as a concept to create this building. Funnel form encour-ages people to enter to the building. Moreover, we used warm colors for entrance in contrast with white building. We used Knuaf material and anti-acid ceramic for interior spaces

Project Description
Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Precision Home Installation
This project features the professional installation of the next-generation Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 system. Known for their upgraded brightness and enhanced color rendering, these lights require a precise, calculated layout—especially since the manufacturer guidelines restrict cutting into the main line, presenting a unique installation challenge.
Key Features of This Installation:
Next-Gen Exterior Illumination: Outfitted with the newly released Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2, delivering brilliant architectural down-lighting, incredible holiday presets, and daily accent lighting.
Creative Technical Problem Solving: Because these specialized strands could not be cut without voiding the integrity of the system, we meticulously engineered the run layout. To achieve a perfectly flush finish at the roofline edge, we successfully executed a custom shortening and capping technique on the final strands.
Flawless Eave Integration: The lights were mounted at the optimal distance from the fascia to ensure a perfectly uniform, triangular cone wash down the home's exterior walls, eliminating hot spots and dark gaps.
Smart Ecosystem Control: Fully integrated into the homeowner's smart ecosystem, allowing for voice control, scheduled automation, and endless customization through the native app interface.
Our Specialized Lighting Expertise
Smart lighting systems require more than just hanging a strand—they require precision planning. We specialize in handling high-end retail and commercial systems, providing:
Advanced Layout Mapping: Ensuring your runs look symmetrical and perfectly tailored to your roofline before a single clip is mounted.
Out-of-the-Box Troubleshooting: Finding safe, manufacturer-approved technical workarounds for complex roof lines where standard plug-and-play methods fall short.
Clean Wire Management: Tucking and hiding all jump wires and power supplies for a seamless daytime appearance.

Historic Victorian Reconstruction and Companion Residence
This project involved the reconstruction and restoration of a historic Victorian residence in Santa Barbara, California, along with the design and construction of a new companion residence carefully crafted to reflect the architectural character and detailing of the original home.
The project focused on preserving and celebrating the qualities that make Victorian architecture enduringly appealing: rich exterior detailing, proportioned massing, decorative trim elements, covered porches, and a strong relationship between the home and surrounding landscape. While modern building systems and construction methods were incorporated throughout the project, the design intent remained rooted in the craftsmanship and architectural traditions that defined the original residence.
Special attention was given to maintaining visual continuity between the historic structure and the new residence. Exterior materials, roof forms, window proportions, trim profiles, and architectural details were carefully coordinated to create a cohesive property that feels authentic to its historic context while meeting the needs of contemporary living.
The result is a property that honors the architectural heritage of Santa Barbara while demonstrating how thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship can successfully bridge historic character and modern construction.
