Casa A137 is harmoniously nestled on a property that borders the spring forest to the south and west, with a gentle 14m drop from its highest point. This natural topography was not a challenge but an inspiration for our architecture, guiding us to open the views towards the forest and blend seamlessly with the terrain. The project gracefully ascends from street level, ensuring the ground floor merges with the rear garden level while the upper floor offers unobstructed views of the natural landscape. We used stone materials and steel to create a sober and simple appearance for the residence. Apparent concrete has an important role in all exterior and interior areas; in the same way, the green areas visually accompany each space. The house’s gardens go hand in hand with the architecture. Several interior areas were designed to integrate vegetation, which accompanies the exterior, where the landscaped spaces that complement the facade and the side corridors are projected. For our clients, social areas were very important, especially the terrace. An important project area is destined for an outdoor terrace overlooking the forest. It comprises a kitchen area with a bar and a space for living and dining. The warmth of a fire pit accompanies it.

A robust, modern, riverside home with minimalist detailing that blends seamlessly into the surroundings. The home is used as a year-round weekend retreat for a family with children and as such they wanted it to be private and offer a sense of escape and freedom. The clients wanted it to be a low maintenance, energy efficient home making use of natural materials.
Clad with innovative treated timber, the house nestles harmoniously into its rural, riverside setting; making the most of its context, orientation and views while minimising any impact on the surrounding area. Two opposing blocks, forming a 'T' shape in plan, taper up in height towards the river to the east and fields to the south and define the internal spaces. The open-plan living, kitchen and dining areas benefit from fully-glazed sliding doors set in a deep reveal to the south which maximises light and provides shelter above. Large windows look out over the river and a raised, cantilevered deck wraps around the east and south elevations, creating an extension to the internal space that bleeds out into the landscape beyond.

View from the dining table toward the open kitchen and living room. The upstairs space has 360 degree views and ample natural daylight. The structural ties seen on the exposed beams and other areas of the home were custom welded by Paul Carson of Venture Fabrication.
The Crimson Bluffs Home is a sustainable smaller home with 360 degree views of the Missouri River various mountain ranges. Energy-efficiency strategies include long-lasting building materials, passive cooling, ample natural day lighting, high insulation values, advanced framing, and a combined heating approach of passive solar heat gain and radiant hydronic floor heating, a strategy we call “Sun Smart Radiant Heating.”

Nestled in the exclusive North Ranch neighborhood of Westlake Village, this 6,600-square-foot masterpiece is a shining example of JRP’s tailored luxury and innovative design.
Our client’s vision for this home materialized as a single-story layout seamlessly blending the charm of a mountain aesthetic with a modern, rustic vibe.
Every element, from the meticulously crafted ceiling siding and beams to the flush base, narrates a compelling story of extraordinary living. Comprising five bathrooms, three bedrooms, a dedicated office, a gym, and a craft room, each corner of this home was thoughtfully curated to fulfill the unique needs of our discerning clients.
A particularly cherished aspect of the Rustic North Ranch project is the astonishing transformation of indoor-outdoor living. Separating the two spaces is a striking 18-foot-wide pocketing sliding door with a screen; when this door is open, the flow becomes seamless towards the reimagined outdoor living and new pool, inviting you to savor the indulgent pleasures of resort-style living within the sanctuary of a private retreat.

A low view across the wood floor leads toward the galley kitchen, with the oak-and-black stair railing along the right side. White walls and cabinetry create a bright backdrop for the warm flooring. The angle highlights the continuity of materials between the kitchen entrance and the circulation space.
This interior is part of Scandi Skies, an East York, Toronto bungalow transformed with a Scandinavian second-storey addition by Cedarstone Group Inc. The project connects the original living spaces to a new upper level with a custom open-riser staircase and a coordinated natural-wood palette.

A warm, refined kitchen at the heart of an open-concept living space, designed to connect seamlessly with the dining and living rooms. Natural wood cabinetry, light stone countertops, and softly textured tile create an inviting, contemporary feel, while the large island provides generous seating and a central gathering point for entertaining. Framed black windows bring the surrounding mountain ridge into the kitchen as a dramatic natural backdrop, with a glass door opening toward the outdoor living area. A discreet doorway connects the kitchen to a dedicated pantry, where the refrigerator is housed to keep the main kitchen visually streamlined.

A bathroom floor should handle busy mornings and still look like it belongs in a magazine, and this Eagle bathroom shows how tile makes that possible. Capell Flooring installed large, light tiles on the diagonal, then framed the center of the room with a slim mosaic border that turns an everyday floor into a designed feature. The smooth, water-resistant surface wipes clean after showers, resists stains, and keeps its bright, polished look with simple routine care. Around the edges, the same tile flows toward the shower doorway, so the whole room reads as one calm, finished space instead of a patchwork of materials. For homeowners in Eagle, Meridian, and Boise who want a bathroom that feels fresh for years, tile offers that rare mix of durability and elegance. Family-owned since 1974, Capell Flooring guides Treasure Valley clients through tile sizes, tones, and grout choices in person. Visit the showroom at 2640 E. State Ave, Suite 140, Meridian, to see bathroom tile ideas like this up close.
