Hip, stylish couple wanted to update a newly purchased traditional home (built 2007) utilizing mostly cosmetic, decorative improvements - not structural alterations. The residence needs to empower the family and support the owner’s professional, creative pursuits. They frequently entertain, so requested both large and small environments for social gatherings and dance parties. Our primary palette is bright orange and deep blue, and we employ the deep, saturated hues on sizeable areas like walls and large furniture pieces. We soften and balance the intense hues with creamy off-whites, and introduce contemporary light fixtures throughout the house. We incorporate textured wall coverings inside display cabinets, above wainscoting, on fireplace surround, on select accent walls, and on the coffered living room ceiling.

THEME This room is dedicated to supporting and encouraging the young artist in art and music. From the hand-painted instruments decorating the music corner to
the dedicated foldaway art table, every space is tailored to the creative spirit, offering a place to be inspired, a nook to relax or a corner to practice. This environment
radiates energy from the ground up, showering the room in natural, vibrant color.
FOCUS A majestic, floor-to-ceiling tree anchors the space, boldly transporting the beauty of nature into the house--along with the fun of swinging from a tree branch,
pitching a tent or reading under the beautiful canopy. The tree shares pride of place with a unique, retroinspired
room divider housing a colorful padded nook perfect for
reading, watching television or just relaxing.
STORAGE Multiple storage options are integrated to accommodate the family’s eclectic interests and
varied needs. From hidden cabinets in the floor to movable shelves and storage bins, there is room
for everything. The two wardrobes provide generous storage capacity without taking up valuable floor
space, and readily open up to sweep toys out of sight. The myWall® panels accommodate various shelving options and bins that can all be repositioned as needed. Additional storage and display options are strategically
provided around the room to store sheet music or display art projects on any of three magnetic panels.
GROWTH While the young artist experiments with media or music, he can also adapt this space to complement his experiences. The myWall® panels promote easy transformation and expansion, offer unlimited options, and keep shelving at an optimum height as he grows. All the furniture rolls on casters so the room can sustain the
action during a play date or be completely re-imagined if the family wants a makeover.
SAFETY The elements in this large open space are all designed to enfold a young boy in a playful, creative and safe place. The modular components on the myWall® panels are all locked securely in place no matter what they store. The custom drop-down table includes two safety latches to prevent unintentional opening. The floor drop doors are all equipped with slow glide closing hinges so no fingers will be trapped.

This landscape is based on a painting by pioneering abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky. The Art Garden method of Landscape Design is a process where the outdoor environment's design is based on the the work of a specific artist or work of art, or incorporates multiple art forms into the space, including sculpture, music, dance, performance art and experiential elements. The swirling shape of the front stones give the composition a sense of movement, while the variegated Sedum offer a structural contrast to the red wall, and can tolerate the hot dry microclimate of stone mulch and the concrete wall. Behind the wall is a massing of Hay Scented Fern, a lush bright green contrast to the red wall.
The red arching wall offers a high contrast backdrop to the sculptural fire pit, which is a cast iron sugar kettle from South Carolina. It’s rim sits on top of two of the boulders, while fitting into a notch of the third boulder, creating an asymmetrical, funky balance, typical of Kandinsky’s work.

Situated on this 2.5-acre lake site, four new structures have been created. A main residence, guesthouse, guest cabin, and a detached garage fully unite the site and support a strong desire for family fun and large gatherings. Kept in a similar material palette, each structure is clad in beautifully stained shingles and vertical board paneling, with natural timber brackets detailing the gable ends. Details throughout the residences mark each structure as uniquely connected, and yet provides individual characteristics; a fieldstone veneer was added to the base of the main house to create a hierarchy among the structures.
This rustic gathering space boasts large roof overhangs and beautifully landscaped outdoor entertaining areas. Stunning views of the lake and distant mountains can be appreciated from the entire southern front of the site, whether through the large windows or from the comfort of the porch, moments of breathtaking beauty reconnect the spaces with the surrounding environment. The main residence hosts fully connected living room, kitchen, dining room and screened porch on the main level with a private master suite at the edge. Located on the upper level of the lodge are three guest bedrooms and a large bunkroom.

Eichler X-100 Office: A Workspace Designed for Clarity and Inspiration
The office in the Eichler X-100 is a study in focus, light, and intentional simplicity—a space where work and design exist in perfect balance. Conceived by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons for Joseph Eichler, it reflects the same forward-thinking philosophy found throughout the home: that environment shapes how we think, create, and live.
A Place for Focus
Unlike traditional enclosed offices, the X-100 workspace is designed to feel open yet controlled. Clean lines and minimal visual clutter allow for uninterrupted concentration, while the architecture quietly frames the experience.
It’s a space that encourages productivity without pressure.
Light That Enhances, Not Distracts
Natural light plays a central role in the office’s atmosphere:
Skylights introduce soft, diffused daylight from above
Glazing provides visual connection without overwhelming the space
Light shifts gently throughout the day, keeping the environment dynamic yet calm
The result is a workspace that feels energized but never harsh.
Connected, Yet Private
Positioned within the home’s thoughtful layout, the office maintains a sense of separation from main living areas while still feeling connected. Views toward interior gardens or adjacent spaces provide visual depth without sacrificing focus.
You’re part of the home—but in your own zone.
Architecture as Backdrop
Subtle structural elements—such as exposed steel and clean geometric lines—serve as a quiet backdrop, reinforcing the modernist language without dominating the space.
Everything is intentional. Nothing is excessive.
A Forward-Thinking Workspace
Long before “work-from-home” became the norm, the X-100 anticipated the need for spaces that could support both professional and personal life. The office is flexible, adaptable, and integrated—perfectly aligned with how we live today.
Where Ideas Take Shape
The Eichler X-100 office is more than a functional room—it’s a creative environment, shaped by light, proportion, and connection to nature.
It’s a place where ideas can form, evolve, and take shape—within a home that was designed to do exactly that.
In the X-100, even work becomes part of the architectural experience—proving that great design doesn’t just support living, it elevates thinking. Image Sabrina Huang

Evergreen successfully completed this comprehensive kitchen renovation on Coronado Island, one of the most stunning destination in Southern California, transforming the space into a modern, functional culinary hub that balances aesthetic appeal with technical precision.
The renovation required careful structural planning, beginning with the removal of existing cabinetry and assessment of electrical and plumbing systems. We relocated water supply lines and drainage to accommodate the new island configuration, ensuring all connections met current building codes. The electrical system was upgraded to support modern appliances, including dedicated 220V circuits for the range and additional outlets strategically placed for small appliances.
The centerpiece island incorporates integrated appliances, requiring precise cutouts and reinforced support structures. We installed a dishwasher with proper venting and water connections, while maintaining seamless cabinetry lines. The ventilation system was redesigned to handle the open-concept layout, with a powerful range hood that ensures proper air circulation.
Flooring installation utilized engineered hardwood with proper moisture barriers and expansion gaps, essential for kitchen environments. The white quartz countertops were templated on-site for perfect fit, with careful attention to seam placement and undermount sink installation.
In the other side, the color palette combines crisp white perimeter cabinets with a contrasting dark island, creating visual depth. Three oversized pendant lights provide both task and ambient lighting, while recessed LED fixtures ensure even illumination. Black fixtures and hardware tie the modern aesthetic together, while natural wood tones add warmth to the contemporary space.

This collage illustrates most of the elements we incorporate into natural water features, garden ponds and water falls. Of course it begins with the scientific design for natural low maintenance that supports a wide spectrum of hues in wild flowers.
These images also feature submerged drama in the form of natural rock and underwater plantings that provide food and shelter for any fish desired. Small submerged cliffs add much to the environment in the form of suggesting very complex habitats such as deep river pools into small spaces afforded by landscapes and gardens. They effect a habitat that appears so much more dramatic when done with artful eyes that have traveled many miles in the wild to bring back very natural images crafted into these waters. While it was science that developed our techniques, it was nature that perfected the image.
