The client commissioned ARCA Unlimited to design their family home in Southdowns Estate. The design had to take advantage of the beautiful surrounds, whilst providing privacy from public spaces. Solid southern- and western street boundaries with perforated aluminium screens provide privacy while allowing filtered natural light into the house. A visual axis extends through the front door and entrance gallery and penetrates this privacy barrier. It links to a formal landscaped courtyard and the views beyond. A deck and seamless floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors create the threshold between inside and out. The concept of seamless transition is carried through to detailing: the simplest possible transition between different building materials is utilised. Living and bedroom spaces are orientated inward around the internal courtyard. Rhythmic progressing of proportions with honest expression of structure and materials help to orientate the user and make the architecture more intelligible. Photographs by Malan Kotze Photography

This new‑construction landscape installation in Elizabeth, Colorado was just getting underway when these photos were taken, giving a real behind‑the‑scenes look at how a custom landscape comes together. At this stage, we were focused on shaping the land, setting grades, and building the structural pieces that make the whole outdoor space work long‑term. It’s the part most people never see, but it’s where the future beauty and function really begin. Even in progress, you can see the layout taking shape—clean lines, defined spaces, and a design that fits naturally with Elizabeth’s open terrain. As the project moves forward, this foundation will support climate‑appropriate plantings, durable hardscape features, and a welcoming flow around the home. It’s the start of a landscape built to grow, evolve, and feel right at home in Colorado’s countryside.

The renovation of Maison Gray was an ambitious project, marked by technical challenges to transform this 1960s residence into a modern and bright living space. Due to urban planning constraints, it was impossible to completely demolish the house. Therefore, a progressive approach was adopted, methodically deconstructing and rebuilding each wall while keeping the roof in place with temporary supports. This required rigorous coordination between the demolition and construction teams, who worked in parallel to successfully complete the large-scale project. Major structural and framing work allowed for the roof slopes to be redefined and the creation of a double-height space, a central feature of the house's new architecture. Despite the complexity of the project, the work was completed in a relatively short period, an impressive achievement for such a large-scale transformation. Thanks to meticulous execution, the house was practically rebuilt from scratch, with a mezzanine and new spaces arranged in half-levels within a generous volume. The tall arch on the façade marks the vaulted entrance leading to an open living space in double height, naturally lit by a skylight and large windows opening to the garden. Achieving these elements and alignments required great precision, with every architectural detail, from curves to openings, carefully executed to create a fluid and harmonious flow. Sangaré Studio designed the interior with natural materials in soft tones, creating intimate and fluid spaces. Built with care, Maison Gray offers a welcoming and soothing environment, allowing the family to enjoy spaces designed for comfort and tranquility.

The painting studio is large enough to accommodate more than one artist at a time, while the clerestory windows ensure plenty of sunshine without overheating the room and potentially damaging works-in-progress.

Bedroom Renovation in Massachusetts | Before & After Transformation by Maverick City Builders This project showcases a complete bedroom renovation in an older Massachusetts home, transforming a dated and underutilized space into a clean, modern, and highly functional room. From initial demolition to final furnishing, every phase of this remodel highlights the craftsmanship, organization, and attention to detail that defines Maverick City Builders (MCB). The project began with a small bedroom featuring outdated finishes, limited natural light, and worn flooring. During the early renovation stage, walls were carefully opened to expose framing, insulation, and existing structure—allowing for proper upgrades and ensuring long-term durability. The job site remained clean and professionally managed throughout the process, reflecting our commitment to quality and safety. As the renovation progressed, new drywall was installed and finished to create smooth, paint-ready surfaces. Trim work, including modern baseboards and door casings, was added to elevate the overall look. Flooring was replaced with durable, high-quality materials, bringing warmth and consistency to the space. In the final stage, the bedroom was fully transformed with fresh neutral paint, crisp white trim, upgraded lighting, and improved brightness from the existing window. The completed space was then furnished as a simple, functional kid’s bedroom—featuring a bed, desk, and storage solutions—designed to be both practical and comfortable without unnecessary luxury. This before-and-after renovation highlights how strategic upgrades, clean execution, and thoughtful design can completely redefine a space. Maverick City Builders proudly serves Central Massachusetts, delivering high-quality bedroom renovations, home remodeling, and interior upgrades that add long-term value to your home. Services Included: Bedroom Remodeling, Drywall Installation & Finishing, Interior Trim & Carpentry, Flooring Installation, Painting, Light Construction Framing Service Area: Lancaster, Clinton, Sterling, Leominster, Lunenburg, Fitchburg, Bolton, Harvard, and surrounding Massachusetts towns

Modern renovation of a ranch style home in Dallas, Texas that included an addition, pool, detached pool cabana, and detached studio and workshop. Creating a quiet gesture to the neighborhood and utilizing the entirety of the lot were high priorities for the client. Sho sugi ban (charred) cypress cladding with a simple roof form created a backdrop for the variety of native plantings toward the street. With the addition of a steel and timber structure, along with expanses of floor to ceiling windows, the team made it a priority to transform the somewhat gloomy, compartmental space to one that was flowing and connected to the pool and landscape.
