This Olathe remodel focused on improving functionality, increasing storage, and creating a cohesive design across the kitchen, powder bath, and laundry room. In the kitchen, the layout was thoughtfully refined to better support daily routines while maximizing usable space. Custom cabinetry and tailored storage solutions were incorporated throughout, creating a more efficient and organized environment without sacrificing style. The design leans transitional, blending classic details with clean lines for a timeless, approachable feel. Adjacent spaces were reimagined with the same level of intention. The powder bath was updated to reflect the overall aesthetic, while the laundry room was redesigned to improve workflow and storage capacity, making everyday tasks more seamless. The result is a cohesive, highly functional home that feels elevated yet comfortable, designed to support how the homeowners live day to day while offering lasting style.

This West Shore property sits on the shore of Lake Tahoe, where strict TRPA requirements and a fast-paced schedule shaped the design process. The landscape supports a full remodel of the home and guest house, integrating TRPA-required BMPs, onsite stormwater management, and a planting palette suited to the alpine environment. Large-caliper, hand-selected specimen trees were placed with exacting care to frame views, anchor outdoor rooms, and soften the home’s contemporary architecture. An updated pool, lakeside spa, and curated art pieces create a series of modern spaces for family gathering and quiet moments by the water. The result is a functional, contemporary landscape that supports the home’s modern transformation while honoring Tahoe’s natural setting. *Completed while serving as Project Landscape Architect at a previous firm.

Each Chilton table features a shape and grain as unique as the tree it came from. A solid slab of wood is sanded and finished, braced with walnut butterfly joints in any areas requiring extra support, and secured to a hand-welded natural steel base. Spalted sugarberry is a sustainably harvested U.S. wood, and its light golden color is the ideal backdrop for the distinctive grain pattern that results from spalting. Spalting naturally occurs as a tree starts to decline, creating color variations, shading and lines that are unique to each tree and its environment. The trees are harvested at the perfect time to capture this look while maintaining the strength and integrity of the wood. The best part? You can choose the exact top you like best for a one-of-a-kind look.

New sofas are 100% green, with cushions filled with toxin-free natural latex instead of foam, covers made from organic cotton linen, and frames built with only real wood, and nails; no engineered wood products or adhesives. By choosing to acquire furnishings made from solid wood and other natural or eco-friendly materials, as well as hand-hewn, locally-made, small-business and artisan-produced pieces, you not only avoid toxins, but your choice also supports independent manufacturers and artists, reduces your carbon footprint, and you get the pleasure of living in a heart-ful, soul-ful, beauty-filled environment, that is custom-designed to match your lifestyle, your tribe, and you.

This project was developed as a fully integrated outdoor living environment, where the pool, pavilion, and surrounding landscape were designed in alignment with the architecture of the residence. Rather than approaching each element independently, the project was structured as a cohesive composition—ensuring that proportion, material selection, and spatial relationships remained consistent throughout the property. The pavilion was positioned to establish a clear focal point within the landscape, providing both functional shelter and architectural presence. Its form, detailing, and material palette were coordinated with the residence to maintain continuity between built structures. The pool and surrounding terrace were developed with careful attention to layout and circulation, supporting both everyday use and larger-scale entertaining. Sightlines, transitions, and access points were considered to create a natural flow between interior and exterior spaces. From a construction perspective, the project required detailed coordination across grading, structural elements, drainage, and integrated lighting systems. These components were addressed early in the process to ensure precision during execution and long-term performance. This project reflects Mediterra’s approach to outdoor living—where landscape, architecture, and construction are developed as a unified environment rather than a collection of separate features.

Architecture and Interior Designing has evolved significantly over the years in response to changing lifestyles, rapid urbanisation, and technological advancements. Today, the focus is no longer just on creating visually appealing spaces, but on designing environments that are intelligent, adaptable, sustainable, and deeply human-centric. Elite 18 reflects this evolution through a modern residential narrative that balances functionality, comfort, and emotional well-being. Designed by Sandeep & Shreya Sahani, the project responds thoughtfully to the demands of contemporary urban living. As cities continue to grow denser, architecture is increasingly shifting towards smarter planning and efficient use of space. Compact yet breathable layouts, multifunctional areas, and vertical living concepts are becoming essential in modern residential developments. At Elite 18, the design approach embraces openness, fluidity, and practicality, ensuring that spaces remain functional while maintaining a sense of luxury and calm. Changing lifestyles have also transformed the way homes are designed. With remote work and flexible routines becoming part of everyday life, modern residences now require adaptable spaces that can seamlessly support work, leisure, and social interaction. The interiors at Elite 18 are curated with clean lines, soothing tones, and uncluttered layouts that enhance comfort while supporting modern living patterns. Technology has further reshaped architecture by introducing smarter and more responsive environments. Contemporary buildings increasingly integrate smart lighting, climate control systems, touchless features, and digital planning tools to improve convenience and efficiency. This shift towards intelligent architecture allows spaces to become more personalised and responsive to user behaviour. Sustainability has also become a defining aspect of modern architectural thinking. With growing environmental awareness and climate concerns, architects are prioritising energy efficiency, natural ventilation, climate-responsive materials, and sustainable construction practices. At Elite 18, strategic placement of openings, balanced natural light, and thoughtful material selection contribute to a more energy-efficient and comfortable indoor environment. Overall, architecture today is evolving beyond aesthetics to create spaces that are adaptive, environmentally responsible, and emotionally enriching. Elite 18 stands as a reflection of this transformation, where thoughtful design, sustainability, technology, and modern lifestyles come together to shape the future of urban living.
