Residential exterior siding project completed to upgrade the home’s appearance and long-term durability. Our team installed Hardie lap siding to give the home a clean, modern look while improving protection against Florida’s heat, moisture, and pests. The fiber-cement siding provides a durable, low-maintenance exterior while blending naturally with the existing brick façade. The finished result adds strong curb appeal and a long-lasting exterior built to handle coastal conditions.

The superb construction of Berkshire Classic premium vinyl siding sets it apart. Beginning with a heavy-duty .044" panel thickness, this powerfully built siding boasts a rolled nail hem and deep 5/8" butt height for superior strength and rigidity. A new grip-tight PowerLok locking system firmly secures each panel in place for outstanding structural integrity and wind resistance. Together, these design enhancements deliver exceptionally straight, smooth walls that are protective and strong.

The Tice Residences replace a run-down and aging duplex with two separate, modern, Santa Barbara homes. Although the unique creek-side site (which the client’s original home looked toward across a small ravine) proposed significant challenges, the clients were certain they wanted to live on the lush “Riviera” hillside. The challenges presented were ultimately overcome through a thorough and careful study of site conditions. With an extremely efficient use of space and strategic placement of windows and decks, privacy is maintained while affording expansive views from each home to the creek, downtown Santa Barbara and Pacific Ocean beyond. Both homes appear to have far more openness than their compact lots afford. The solution strikes a balance between enclosure and openness. Walls and landscape elements divide and protect two private domains, and are in turn, carefully penetrated to reveal views. Both homes are variations on one consistent theme: elegant composition of contemporary, “warm” materials; strong roof planes punctuated by vertical masses; and floating decks. The project forms an intimate connection with its setting by using site-excavated stone, terracing landscape planters with native plantings, and utilizing the shade provided by its ancient Riviera Oak trees. 2012 AIA Santa Barbara Chapter Merit Award Jim Bartsch Photography

The clients for this small bathroom project are passionate art enthusiasts and asked the architects to create a space based on the work of one of their favorite abstract painters, Piet Mondrian. Mondrian was a Dutch artist associated with the De Stijl movement which reduced designs down to basic rectilinear forms and primary colors within a grid. Alloy used floor to ceiling recycled glass tiles to re-interpret Mondrian's compositions, using blocks of color in a white grid of tile to delineate space and the functions within the small room. A red block of color is recessed and becomes a niche, a blue block is a shower seat, a yellow rectangle connects shower fixtures with the drain. The bathroom also has many aging-in-place design components which were a priority for the clients. There is a zero clearance entrance to the shower. We widened the doorway for greater accessibility and installed a pocket door to save space. ADA compliant grab bars were located to compliment the tile composition. Andrea Hubbell Photography

At the onset of this project, we found a roof deck garden in dire need of repair after a strong wind storm blew over an older pergola and screen system previously attached to limestone parapet caps. Our goal was to design and install a sturdier low maintenance screen system to protect against any future wind storms. We replaced limestone parapet caps, repaired the roof membrane and flashing, painted the walls and then replaced old stone tiles with sleek porcelain pavers. Our one of a kind hardwood screens add privacy from the windows of the adjacent high rise. Other details include a custom outdoor kitchen, lots of LED lighting to add warmth and illumination in the evening and a variety of gorgeous plants and ornamental trees, some reclaimed from the old garden. All plants are on an automated irrigation system.

A custom-made and innovative solution for outdoor living, retractable shade sails (also known as sail awnings) from The Shade Shop maximize the potential of any outdoor gathering space, while protecting against sun and rain.

In this historic New Orleans commercial apartment building, our team was brought in to deliver a full roof system replacement—one that would honor the building’s legacy while meeting today’s highest standards for safety and resilience. We began by removing the old roofing down to the deck, installing brand-new sheathing to strengthen the structure from the inside out. An Ice & Water Shield system followed—offering the kind of deep protection that’s especially important in our climate. The finishing touch: rich terracotta tiles, chosen not only for their durability but for the timeless look they lend to this storied structure. Start to finish, the transformation took just two days. We worked swiftly and cleanly, coordinating every phase—from demo to final inspection—with care. The result: a wind mitigation–certified roof that’s as strong as it is striking. This upgrade wasn’t just about replacing a roof—it was about protecting the people and preserving the place they call home. Thank you for trusting us with your project. – Rellestate Team
