A visual artist and his fiancée’s house and studio were designed with various themes in mind, such as the physical context, client needs, security, and a limited budget.
Six options were analyzed during the schematic design stage to control the wind from the northeast, sunlight, light quality, cost, energy, and specific operating expenses. By using design performance tools and technologies such as Fluid Dynamics, Energy Consumption Analysis, Material Life Cycle Assessment, and Climate Analysis, sustainable strategies were identified. The building is self-sufficient and will provide the site with an aquifer recharge that does not currently exist.
The main masses are distributed around a courtyard, creating a moderately open construction towards the interior and closed to the outside. The courtyard contains a Huizache tree, surrounded by a water mirror that refreshes and forms a central part of the courtyard.
The house comprises three main volumes, each oriented at different angles to highlight different views for each area. The patio is the primary circulation stratagem, providing a refuge from the wind, a connection to the sky, and a night sky observatory. We aim to establish a deep relationship with the site by including the open space of the patio.

An exercise in geological precision rendered at monumental scale. At 37 inches in length, this wall-mount basin captures the deep burgundy and violet veining of premium Calacatta Viola marble under a high-gloss polished finish.
The design introduces a sharp architectural contrast: a vertically fluted exterior profile that creates a dynamic rhythm of light and shadow, set against the sweeping classic geometry of an integrated 10-inch curved backsplash. Engineered as a floating configuration for wall-mount faucets, its partially filled surface voids guarantee that this massive stone volume remains a singular, unrepeatable centerpiece for any luxury interior.

Carrara White Marble Fluted Wall-Mount Sink (28")
A masterful translation of geology into built form. This 28" wall-mount basin pairs the characteristic grey veining of premium Carrara marble with a precisely executed fluted exterior profile. The vertical ribbing generates a rhythm of light and shadow, giving the solid stone volume a striking geometric presence against a flat wall plane.
Finished with a honed surface to temper reflectivity and engineered with a solid deck for wall-mount faucet configurations, it acts as a fully resolved architectural element rather than a simple replicated object.

Edgemont is one of those neighbourhoods where the land, the trees, and the community all pull together — and where a well-designed home is immediately recognised for what it is. When an energetic and discerning couple came with a clear vision for the luxury home they wanted, the task was to take every one of their specific wants and weave them into something cohesive, considered, and worthy of the address.
The contemporary design is anchored by a vaulted entry and living space that sets the tone from the moment you step inside — volume and light used deliberately to create a sense of arrival that carries through the whole home. Floating stairs add a sculptural element to the interior, the kind of detail that signals craft and intention to anyone who knows what they're looking at.
Every aspect of the design was shaped around the clients' lifestyle — a home that works as hard as they do and entertains as well as it lives. The result was a home that didn't just satisfy its owners but captured the attention of the market: when it eventually sold, it broke local price records.
It also captured the attention of the clients themselves. They're planning to build again — with the same design and build team — and that kind of confidence is its own measure of a project done right.

A monumental expression of chromatic intensity and geological time. Precision-cut as a single solid block (31.5"x19.5"x10"), this wall-mount basin presents a fluted front profile that introduces rhythmic vertical relief against its massive geometric volume.
The deep burgundy and violet veining of the polished Calacatta Viola marble creates a striking tension between shadow and reflective surface. Engineered with a solid deck for wall-mount faucet configurations, its floating installation heightens the visual weight of the form, making it the definitive focal point of any minimalist or dark-toned interior.

This mountain residence demonstrates Refine Design Architecture's commitment to site-specific, climate-responsive design built to last in Washington's high country. A steeply pitched gable roof—clad in forest-green standing seam metal and engineered to shed heavy snow loads—is anchored by exposed heavy-timber trusses that express the home's structure honestly. Warm cedar cladding wraps the volume, while an elevated post-and-beam deck lifts the main living level into the canopy, choreographing views and daylight as the home steps lightly across its sloping, forested site. Glass-panel railings preserve sightlines to the surrounding evergreens, and generous glazing draws filtered winter light deep into the interior. From first sketch through construction documentation, this is the kind of durable, four-season custom home we design across the Methow Valley, Leavenworth, Winthrop, and Lake Chelan.

Butler's pantries rarely have tall ceilings or access to natural light. We made the most of this one's unique features by incorporating glass cabinetry doors that capture and reflect light while opening up views to the owner's stunning crystal barware. Stacking cabinets all the way to the high ceiling maximizes space and emphasizes the volume of the space. Photo by Mike Kaskel

It was a mutual love of Italy, specifically the Tuscan countryside, that inspired renowned architect Mark Scheurer and his wife, Jane, to build their dream home in a simplistic, but elegant style reminiscent of a centuries old Italian farmhouse. Scheurer’s aim was to bring light, air, and an indoor/outdoor feeling into the home while preserving privacy throughout this rustic Southern California home, all of which was achieved a lot in part due to the implementation of Eldorado Stone.
The use of stone was a predominant element throughout the design. Scheurer used 2,800 square feet of a custom blend of Eldorado’s Veneto Fieldledge and Hillstone profiles, both of which were applied with an overgrout technique, creating a sense of ageless authenticity and textural beauty. Another 500 square feet was used in the interior to create a dramatic focal point of exposed stone in the living room and boast large, arching windows that open up the living room and filter in light. Upstairs, the master bedroom continues the home’s rustic Italian design with exposed stone walls that reach to the beamed ceiling above.
Although Scheurer is in a neighborhood that request for real products to be used in home construction, he had no problem obtaining approval to use Eldorado Stone, which speaks volumes about Eldorado’s beauty and believability. No one doubted the authenticity of the product. In fact, Scheurer believes that Eldorado is even better than natural stone in that the color palette is easily controlled as well as consistent.

When Booth Hansen’s client obtained seven acres of virgin forest on St. Joseph Island in Ontario, Canada, to build a retreat home, they intended to be good stewards of the land. They desired a series of cabins that were organized along the shoreline of Lake Huron but also which treaded lightly on the site.
The design solution incorporated three black zinc clad volumes situated parallel to the water, sited to follow the natural contours of the land, and oriented to accentuate views to the surrounding area. Their dark color allows the cabins to recede into the shoreline forest, thereby intentionally diminishing the presence of the structures when viewed from the water.
The cabins utilize a raised pier foundation, respecting the site by maintaining the natural topography, allowing snow melt and rainwater to drain naturally into the lake. Passive house insulation strategies were employed to allow optimal performance of the thermal envelope. Windows are aligned with one another to promote cross ventilation through the cabins as well as to frame specific views of the exterior from the inside. Operable windows located near the peak of each gabled volume allow for natural stack effect to remove heat from the cathedral ceiling volumes as well as to allow diffuse light to enter. For thermal comfort, radiant floor heating was utilized and geothermal loops were installed into the bottom of the lake to sustainably heat and cool the home. Custom zinc clad operable shutters are recessed into the walls on a concealed track to secure the building and protect the windows when it is not in use, but recede from view and provide additional insulation to the walls when open.
Programming for this 4,500-square-foot group of cabins includes 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, powder room, great room, study/library and garage. A central living cabin holds the living and dining spaces and opens onto a waterfront deck. Glass bridge connectors on either side reach to two sleeping cabins. The study comprises floor to ceiling book shelves and a view across the water to the distant lighthouse, a structure that recalls fond childhood memories for our client, a well-known fiction writer. Deeper In the woods, a 1500 sf 2 level detached garage surprises and delights by housing a private dance studio on the second floor for our client’s wife, a famous flamenco dancer. Four sides of glass allow dancing among the treetops along with a view back to the water.
While our clients were intrigued by the austere black zinc cladding for the exterior, on the inside of the home, a more whimsical aesthetic was desired. The earthy interior palette was pulled directly from the surrounding landscape. Jade green cabinets emulate the pine trees, while chocolate toned wood flooring recalls the forest floor. Furniture and personal items further propagate the idea of natural moments of color in the woods.
