The customer requested an architecturally unique pool-side retreat using a one span, 4 post free standing waterproof retractable patio cover system 16 foot wide x 16 foot projection. The plan was to have rain water drain through the internal invisible downspouts (in the posts) and exit through two small holes on one side of the unit (right side inclination on the fabric). The system frame and guides are made of non-rusting aluminum which is powder coated using the Qualicoat® powder coating process. The purpose of the project was to design and cover a free-standing space adjacent to the architect client’s swimming pool, that can now be used 24/7/365 for breakfast, lunch, dinner, parties, entertainment and more. The architect request was for a “retractable poolside cabana that would provide shade, protection from UV rays, glare, heavy rain and most importantly would be waterproof and also have the sides covered for mosquito, sun, glare and UV protection.”

Golden Gate House: Street view; the house has two colors of stucco. Trellises constructed of brown pressure-treated lumber provide a sun shade over windows and out-door decks. Two decks are visible; the living room deck over the garage; the masterbedroom deck on top California modern, California Contemporary Interior Designers, San Francisco modern, Bay Area modern residential design architects, Sustainability and green design.

Exterior solar shades and awning systems are the most efficient solution to protect your windows and patio areas from the sun's damaging heat and UV rays. Blocking up to 99% of UV, motorized retractable shading systems allow you to block the sun and heat or reverse the strategy to allow in natural light and heat as desired.

Our remodeling crew created a one-of-a-kind arbor to diffuse the sun’s rays. Romanesque columns grace the arched entry while a fan attached to an arbor beam blows a cool breeze. We added exterior speakers, self-watering foliage and a hand-painted wall mural for ambiance, which is also seen from the interior sitting area. What used to be a back door is now the perfect setting for wine and bruschetta.

Coming from Minnesota this couple already had an appreciation for a woodland retreat. Wanting to lay some roots in Sun Valley, Idaho, guided the incorporation of historic hewn, stone and stucco into this cozy home among a stand of aspens with its eye on the skiing and hiking of the surrounding mountains.

Midnight royal blue is a bold color choice for a master bedroom. The color at once grounds the space and adds a calming tone to an otherwise light color palette. Contemporary pendant lights are suspended from the ceiling and serve to further frame the king-sized bed. With ReAlta, we are introducing for the first time in Charlotte a fully solar community. Each beautifully detailed home will incorporate low profile solar panels that will collect the sun’s rays to significantly offset the home’s energy usage. Combined with our industry-leading Home Efficiency Ratings (HERS), these solar systems will save a ReAlta homeowner thousands over the life of the home. Credit: Brendan Kahm
