If you've ever taken a road trip that meandered through the countryside you've probably noticed that simple house sitting at the end of a dirt road. It looks cozy and has a rustic charm that reminds us of a more straightforward way of living. A warm, cozy fire on a chilly fall evening, or sitting on the farmers' porch enjoying a cold iced tea at the end of a long summer day. Today, as more of us are beginning to appreciate the warmth of that rustic setting, one design style is rapidly growing in popularity. Known as “Modern Rustic” it provides homeowners with the warm, natural, and inviting style of that rural farmhouse, along with the clean, simple lines of modern design. One of the characteristics of the Modern Rustic design aesthetic is that is evidenced by both the physical rooms, as well as in individual pieces of furniture within the space. The primary design components of this style are the warmth of natural materials and the texture those material provide. Exposed wood and stone or brick are often used to add character and the appearance of warmth to the aesthetic. These are textures typically found in old hand-built country homes, as these were the building materials available at the time. Woolen objects like rugs and blankets are used as décor to add warm textures to the space. Modern Rustic also uses smooth textures, for example, counter and chairs surfaces and cabinetry. These are the textures that provide the clean and modern feel. Shape and architecture play a significant role in the overall design environment. Natural elements like stones and wood are typically rough and asymmetrical in their natural state. A Modern Rustic design combines these natural shapes like tree branches, antlers and river stones with rectangles, spheres, and sharp angles. Think Cathedral ceilings, large prominent stairs, huge natural beams, and beautiful stone fireplaces. I am extremely proud of this project and we finish right on time before the couple get married.

Free Float is a pool house that continues UP's obsession with contextual contradiction. Located on a three acre estate in Sands Point NY, the modern pool house is juxtaposed against the existing traditional home. Using structural gymnastics, a column-free, simple shading area was created to protect occupants from the summer sun while still allowing the structure to feel light and open, maintaining views of the Long Island Sound and surrounding beaches.

Dynamic Garage Door has been custom manufacturing and installing unique architectural garage doors from San Diego to the San Francisco Bay Area for many years. We are often challenged with new ideas and designs that become one-of-a-kind design features that stun design connoisseurs. The custom garage door featured in this photo was a unique eclectic style garage door manufactured in rustic corten steel panels.The glowing reds and rough texture play beautifully with the sun's rays particularly at dusk. The garage door complements the home's landscaping and architecture with a Jurassic-Park-Like feel that is sensed when visiting the property in Los Angeles. CA. The asymmetrical panel sizes are staggered together making imperfectly, perfect for the home. This custom garage door project was fun to work with and realize for the client, it is a unique architectural element that we don't come across often. Optionally, this custom garage door design would also suit a modern or contemporary style home. Either this design or a whole new one can be custom-made for your home. Let our in-house designers help you make a on-of-a-kind garage door you'll enjoy for decades to come! Design Center: (855) 343-3667
