The exterior façade of the home is reminiscent of the 50’s with its mixed material aesthetic. The stacked stone veneer is complimented with the Shou Sugi Ban siding. The burned wood finish is an ancient Japanese technique that chars the wood, essentially wrapping it in carbon, adding protection and durability against mold, insects, and moisture related decay. This impressive burned wood finish is not only an indelible product but eye-catching as well. The horizontal and vertical orientation of the wood planks further emphasize the width and height of the structure. The subtle play of each material is simplistic and functional. The three-story residence is tucked into the side of the slope, creating an unimposing and welcoming entry. The large expanses of glass on the front façade draw the eye into the home allowing for natural daylighting and sun soaked rooms throughout the day. The strategically placed horizontal windows add architectural interest, natural lighting, and privacy. Two separate third level balconies are situated toward the rugged skyline, creating a 360-degree vantage point of the surrounding terrain.

Custom designed by MossCreek, this four-seasons resort home in a New England vacation destination showcases natural stone, square timbers, vertical and horizontal wood siding, cedar shingles, and beautiful hardwood floors. MossCreek's design staff worked closely with the owners to create spaces that brought the outside in, while at the same time providing for cozy evenings during the ski season. MossCreek also made sure to design lots of nooks and niches to accommodate the homeowners' eclectic collection of sports and skiing memorabilia. The end result is a custom-designed home that reflects both it's New England surroundings and the owner's style. MossCreek.net

This elegant living room showcases refined materials and carefully curated furniture – from two rich brown leather armchairs to a striking deep-blue tufted sofa that adds depth and personality to the space. Artworks adorn the walls, while a custom carpentered bar becomes a sculptural feature with both aesthetic and practical appeal. Discreet, minimalist lighting elements are embedded in the ceiling, naturally drawing the eye toward the adjacent kitchen. Though the kitchen remains partially enclosed to preserve privacy and maintain its functional zoning, it visually opens up to the living area, creating a continuous flow that enhances the overall sense of spaciousness.

This 14,000sf estate sits on four acres in Montecito overlooking the green rolling hills and ocean beyond. This architectural style was inspired by the villas around Lake Como in northern Italy. The formal central part of the home contains the formal rooms, while the less formal areas are reflected in simpler detailing, more rustic materials, and more irregular building forms. The property terraces towards the view and includes a koi pond, pool with cabana, greenhouse, bocce court, and a small vineyard.
