The new doors are actually old. I salvaged two side- lights from Rejuvenation and BC Custom Construction (thanks Doug!) altered them to be little French doors. Changing the height of the door made it easier to enter the house (no more ducking) and added the whimsy that my client and I were not only shooting for but insisted on. There was a bit of controversy over changing the height of these doors but she and I stood side by side and made sure it happened. Some things are worth fighting for!

Boulevard House is an expansive, light filled home for a young family to grow into. It’s located on a steep site in Ivanhoe, Melbourne. The home takes advantage of a beautiful northern aspect, along with stunning views to trees along the Yarra River, and to the city beyond. Two east-west pavilions, linked by a central circulation core, use passive solar design principles to allow all rooms in the house to take advantage of north sun and cross ventilation, while creating private garden areas and allowing for beautiful views.

This remodel merged the interior and exterior spaces by opening the existing house to the new patios and decks. This new arrangement of spaces creates a rich and contemporary living environment. The two story deck became an extension of the house, providing private covered outdoor space below and a tree house connection to the valley views from above.

This weekend house was designed on a large lot. Framed by two large walls placed orthogonally over one of the corners of the lot, an H-shaped layout was designed, dividing the lot in three well differentiated areas. To the front, there is the access driveway for cars and pedestrians; on the northeastern side, there is the pool and leisure area; and, finally, on the southern side, there is the service and garage area. The plan is very big and more developed on the ground floor, which allowed for the creation of a big terrace that benefits from the views onto the garden and the swimming pool and also articulates functionally the private area of the upper floor bedrooms with the playroom and the gallery on the ground floor.
The white image with pure lines of this house, inspired in the Bauhaus principles where form follows function, is broken by some walls paneled in black slates, steel, wood and mainly by large glass areas that are integrated into the views and natural light in all its rooms.
From the front of the lot, we access the house under a folded wall that organizes the main hall and we face an inner yard around which we find: the sitting room, half a level below, and the formal dining room, after which is the home theater room, especially conditioned for its function. The large cantilever proposed by the upper floor over the sitting room forms a semi-covered sector adjacent to it where a sunken space especially devised for leisure was designed over a wooden deck. It is accompanied by a double-sided fireplace which may be seen from the inside and from the outside. The access sector is completed with a wardrobe, a toilet and a guest bedroom with private bathroom, profiting from exclusive views onto an inner yard created by the stone wall that surrounds these sectors.
In the center of the H there is the family area, made up of the kitchen, the informal dining room and the main gallery, which connects it to the playroom and the barbecue area.
From the kitchen, access may be gained to the southern sector, comprising the service area and used as secondary access from the garages. A laundry, a pantry, a bedroom with bathroom, a storage room, a full bathroom with sauna for the pool and playroom make up this sector.
The upper floor includes the master suite with bathroom, walk-in closet and views onto the garden; the girls' suite is made up of two bedrooms that may be integrated into a common playroom and a bathroom shared with the rest areas.
From the central hall in double height, access is gained to the terrace through a steel and glass bridge that connects it to the stairs made of the same materials.

The goal of this project was to build a house that would be energy efficient using materials that were both economical and environmentally conscious. Due to the extremely cold winter weather conditions in the Catskills, insulating the house was a primary concern. The main structure of the house is a timber frame from an nineteenth century barn that has been restored and raised on this new site. The entirety of this frame has then been wrapped in SIPs (structural insulated panels), both walls and the roof. The house is slab on grade, insulated from below. The concrete slab was poured with a radiant heating system inside and the top of the slab was polished and left exposed as the flooring surface. Fiberglass windows with an extremely high R-value were chosen for their green properties. Care was also taken during construction to make all of the joints between the SIPs panels and around window and door openings as airtight as possible. The fact that the house is so airtight along with the high overall insulatory value achieved from the insulated slab, SIPs panels, and windows make the house very energy efficient. The house utilizes an air exchanger, a device that brings fresh air in from outside without loosing heat and circulates the air within the house to move warmer air down from the second floor. Other green materials in the home include reclaimed barn wood used for the floor and ceiling of the second floor, reclaimed wood stairs and bathroom vanity, and an on-demand hot water/boiler system. The exterior of the house is clad in black corrugated aluminum with an aluminum standing seam roof. Because of the extremely cold winter temperatures windows are used discerningly, the three largest windows are on the first floor providing the main living areas with a majestic view of the Catskill mountains.

We worked with our client to design a modified rectangle that would complement the serene coastal setting and natural property curves. The interior pool steps, benches, and lounge areas are situated facing outward from the home so that swimmers can enjoy the stunning view. The pool is finished with an expansive Bluestone deck set in a random rectangular pattern.

This deck was build above a rubber roof. The framing is only attached to the house so not to put any holes in the roof. Therefore we call it a floating deck. The deck floor panels are removable.

This small back garden had more than its share of issues to address. From the narrow angled site, to the slope of the ground, lack of privacy, public drains, aging existing retaining walls and deck, underground electrical wiring, and difficult access, it really had it all!
The clients wanted a leafy secluded spot, where they could relax, entertain and feel immersed in nature. They also wanted a small productive area for some herbs and fruit trees. A garden shed was required and a means of access through from the front garden, although privacy was to be important.
The old deck was removed and replaced with beautiful vitex decking. This new deck connect the rooms of the house and wraps itself around the house, effectively managing the worst of the slope and creating clear symmetry within the angled boundaries. A central retained bed with a feature flowering cherry tree creates a generous boardwalk and makes the decking feel part of the garden. A privacy screen and considered planting increases privacy. A series of oversize platform stairs lead up to the highest part of the garden, which is filled with raised beds for vegetable and herbs and fruit trees.
Generous natural schist stepping stones connect the utility area of the garden to the decked area and meander through the vege garden.
The planting is designed to be leafy and green with soft white accents through the season. Beautiful feature trees include Prunus Shimidsu Sakura, Cercis Canadensis and Betula jacquemonti. Summer flowering perennials include gaura, verbena bonariensis, alchemilla mollis, anenome japonica and hydrangea.

Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes
2010 NATIONAL NARI REGIONAL AWARD WINNER
Project Scope
The owners of this 7,000 square foot colonial in Oakton, Virginia, were seeking a multi-level Mediterranean-style indoor/outdoor living space off the back of their home. They turned to Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes for a design solution that would include a stone patio, a second-story deck, a screened-in porch and linking staircases.
While the structure was designed primarily for family dining and entertaining, it also had to accommodate periodic social gatherings of one hundred guests or more. To meet these needs, the project would include a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, several serving counters with permanent refrigeration, and well-delineated socializing and dining zones.
The existing home’s setting offered several impressive assets the new outdoor living area was designed to exploit. The sprawling acreage features old stand trees, wooded paths and a private lake. Beautifully landscaped, it unfolds as an idyllic panorama that naturally draws people to the outdoors.
Challenges
Since the rear elevation was situated on a slope that drops away from the house, the Michael Nash team had to raise the grade two feet within in a 2,000 square foot area extending out from the back of the house. Infrastructure plans also called for a sophisticated drainage system that had to accommodate a whole series of water “runoff” considerations to be integrated into the decking itself. Excavation included constructing retaining walls to bolster the elevated grade—which also had to support a concrete slab, the primary foundation for the entire complex.
Solutions
The ground level decking consists of a 2,000 square foot flagstone patio level with the home’s lower level doors. There is a decorative water fountain mid-patio—an ornate collectible acquired in Florida. Food preparation is concentrated within a specially designed semi-circular wall that creates an “outdoor kitchen” equipped with a 60” Viking barbecue grill, a prep sink, a warming drawer, refrigerator and appropriate storage. There is a granite surfaced dining counter with seating for eight.
Wrought iron railing and approximately 20 decorative columns (some encasing steel vertical supports) are incorporated into the design scheme. Many of the columns house accent lights.
The top level—supported by horizontal steel beams– is a 2,500 square foot deck constructed entirely of Trex decking. The open air decking is, again, directly accessible from rooms on the second level of the house including the kitchen, sunroom and family room.
The platform’s most prominent feature is a U-shaped “kitchenette” with cedar shake shingle roofing. Like its counterpart one level below, the facility is equipped with grill, refrigerator and stainless steel cabinetry.
One portion of the deck has been allocated for a 16’ x 16’ octagonal screened-in porch crowned by a pair of 2’ x 4’ skylights. The porch can be accessed from the home’s conservatory via a set of French doors. With its mosaic tile flooring, stained cedar panel ceiling and honed granite counters, the interior is elegant and calming. Hand-painted stenciling and a wall-mounted water feature provide distinctive detailing.
Finally, the design introduced elements to highlight and reinforce an awareness of the lovely bucolic setting. Fountains and water features combined with textured surfaces and mosaic tiling and backsplashes to present a villa-like ambiance well-suited to the Virginia countryside.
