Another fun Crestview project! This young couple wanted a back yard that reflected their bohemian-eclectic style and could add additional privacy from the ever climbing construction around them. A place for “hanging out and drinking coffee or beer in the backyard.” But what was most exciting, was the air stream they had just purchased and were in the process of restoring. With the end goal of using it as a guest home for family and friends, we were challenged with creating a space that was cohesive and connected this new living space with the rest of the yard.
In the front we had another quark to fix. The sidewalk from their front door to the street suddenly stopped 5 feet from the curb, making a less than inviting entry for guests. So, creating a new usable entryway with additional curb appeal was a top priority.
We managed the entertainment space by using modern poured concrete pad’s as a focal. A poured concrete wall serves as a bench as well as creates a visual anchor for the patio area. To soften the hard materials, small plantings of succulents and ground cover were planted in the spaces between the pads. For a backdrop, a custom Cedar Plank wall and trellis combined to soften the vertical space and add plenty of privacy. The trellis is anchored by a Coral Vine to add interest. Cafe style lighting was strung across the area create a sense of intimacy.
We also completed the fence transition, and eliminated the grass areas that were not being utilized to reduce the amount of water waste in the landscape, and replaced these areas with beneficial plantings for the wildlife.
Overall, this landscape was completed with a cohesive Austin-friendly design in mind for these busy young professionals!

Windows reaching a grand 12’ in height fully capture the allurement of the area, bringing the outdoors into each space. Furthermore, the large 16’ multi-paneled doors provide the constant awareness of forest life just beyond. The unique roof lines are mimicked throughout the home with trapezoid transom windows, ensuring optimal daylighting and design interest. A standing-seam metal, clads the multi-tiered shed-roof line. The dark aesthetic of the roof anchors the home and brings a cohesion to the exterior design. The contemporary exterior is comprised of cedar shake, horizontal and vertical wood siding, and aluminum clad panels creating dimension while remaining true to the natural environment.
The Glo A5 double pane windows and doors were utilized for their cost-effective durability and efficiency. The A5 Series provides a thermally-broken aluminum frame with multiple air seals, low iron glass, argon filled glazing, and low-e coating. These features create an unparalleled double-pane product equipped for the variant northern temperatures of the region. With u-values as low as 0.280, these windows ensure year-round comfort.
The large Lift and Slide doors placed throughout this modern contemporary home have superior sealing when closed and are easily operated, regardless of size. The “lift” function engages the door onto its rollers for effortless function. A large panel door can then be moved with ease by even a child. With a turn of the handle the door is then lowered off the rollers, locked, and sealed into the frame creating one of the tightest air-seals in the industry.

This charming exterior features a combination of stone, shakes, and vertical siding. Special details include a front porch, dormer, and gables with curved accents. The cathedral topped great room opens to a relaxing screened porch while the kitchen enjoys a nearby pantry and the single dining area is highlighted with columns and a tray ceiling. This open floor plan is great for keeping busy families connected and makes entertaining easy. The master suite gains vertical space with a cathedral ceiling and private porch access is perfect for enjoying morning coffee or letting pets outside. A spacious walk-in closet is suitable for two and the master bath boasts dual vanities, a standing shower, and a luxurious soaking bathtub. Three additional bedrooms are positioned around the utility room, making laundry drop-off and redistribution a breeze. Two additional baths and linen closets are available for children and guests. The garage is located at the rear of the home with two bays and extra storage. A bonus room above the garage offers additional storage or can be finished as a children's play room or an entertainment room for teenagers.

Bakes & Kropp's Cucina BK style custom cabinetry is fresh, contemporary and coastal in this "Oceanview Oasis" Kitchen. The vertical grain orientation of the Rift White Oak draws the eye skyward and the light wash finish treatment gives it a loose, beach-inspired texture. A U-shaped configuration showcases the room's natural light by keeping the large glass window the focal point and utilizing an open upper peninsula unit. The center island, topped in brushed stainless, softly reflects the light and the subtle aqua marine color scheme. The space is truly modern cottage living at its finest!

This custom navy wet bar serves as a sophisticated social hub that bridges the gap between the kitchen and living area. The design features a high-performance matte black bar faucet and elegant polished brass hardware set against a textured white subway tile backsplash. To maximize utility, the lower cabinetry includes a specialized pull-out organizer designed for vertical storage of cutting boards, baking sheets, and serving trays. This blend of bold color and tailored internal organization showcases a commitment to both high-end entertaining and smart, clutter-free living.

Located in the center of the condo’s wide-open floor plan is the kitchen—the heart of the home— also overlooking a 180-degree stunning view of the bay. To modernize and freshen up the living space, old beige cabinets and black granite countertops were replaced with crisp white Dura Supreme cabinetry in a Breckenridge door style. The cabinets are topped with Taj Mahal quartzite counters by Marble Works and complemented with a Waterjet marble mosaic tile backsplash that is installed vertically. Completing the look are unassuming appliance panels and decorative champagne hardware.
The walk-in pantry was reconfigured in the space and seamlessly blended with the kitchen utilizing the same Dura Supreme cabinetry, quartzite countertop, and tile backsplash. Maximizing every inch, the pantry was designed to include a functional dry bar with wine and beer fridges. New upper glass cabinets and additional open shelving create the perfect way to spice up storage for glassware and supplies.

This gorgeous custom wine cellar acts as a dramatic entrypiece as you walk into this beautiful home in San Juan Capistrano, Orange County, California. San Juan Capistrano is a lovely community located slightly inland, tucked within Orange County near cities like Newport Beach, Lake Forest, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Dana Point, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Hills, and Irvine.
This fantastically designed wine cellar, courtesy of the master wine cellar builders at Vintage Cellars, is a unique representation of fun and bespoke features that can be incorporated into a traditional redwood, yet modern and bright wine cellar like this. The wine room draws you in from across the house, with its warm redwood tones and interesting wrought iron and glass door. Wine Cellar doors are often overlooked, but proper knowledge of door materials, glass specifications, threshold placement and hanging procedures are key to creating that perfect airtight room. Additionally, based on the location of your room within your home, the amount of glass in your wine cellar, and your location in the world, levels of cooling capacity need to be seriously considered.
Glass is a naturally poor insulator. Because there has been a very heavy push for "wine cellar art," "wine cellars as art," and wine cellars as a main design component within high end homes, glass wine cellars are often incorporated in high trafficked areas or spaces where each homeowner can show off their prized wines to friends in an almost showcase like display.
When you first enter this large custom wine cellar in Orange County, Southern California, standing out first immediately on your left is a unique work station with a scanner, label-maker, and table top - perfect for inventorying the 3,500 bottles that this rustic wine cellar holds. The e-Sommelier system integrated allows this homeowner to catalog each and every wine within his collection, first letting the program know he owns it, how many bottles, which vintages, and with the click of a button - custom wine labels each with a bar code. Accompanied with the bar code scanner, the e-sommelier system has become a great companion for wine cellars and wine collectors alike, allowing a somewhat seamless and straightforward process in inventorying wines.
Directly past the wine inventory station is a vertical row of large format bottle coved trays, displaying some of the owner's favorite wines in the most coveted vintages.
This large walk in custom wine cellar in all heart redwood wine racking fills most of its capacity utilizing double deep, individual bottle storage. At waist height spanning the entire circumference of the wine room is a high reveal display row, highlighted with LED lighting and more single deep storage behind.
The back wall, in addition to the high reveal display row and double deep individual bottle storage, incorporates a rectangular wine work center with glass rack above - perfect for decanting, storing uniquely shaped bottles, and opening your favorite bottles with friends. Directly below this countertop are two drawers. A unique feature throughout this wooden traditional large walk in wine cellar in San Juan Capistrano, Orange County, California is the incorporation of wine barrel into the room's corner walls, work stations, countertops, and center custom table.
This custom wine cellar near Newport Beach, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Coto De Caza, Laguna Niguel, Huntington Beach, and other gorgeous beach communities in Orange County, also incorporates wine case storage throughout the bottom, and a small area above the wine inventory system for split bottles.
Vintage Cellars, as well as the homeowner, are very happy with the way this beautiful project turned out, and we would love the opportunity to help you with you wine cellar projects!

Introducing DevArt8's crowning achievement – an awe-inspiring full home remodel that exemplifies the perfect blend of ingenuity, innovation, and masterful craftsmanship. This project surpassed the boundaries of a mere renovation, as it entailed a complete reimagining of the living space. From the project's inception, our team recognized the immense potential to create something truly extraordinary. By skillfully harmonizing contemporary aesthetics with functional design, every facet of the home was thoughtfully tailored to embody the client's distinct style and accommodate their lifestyle seamlessly. With precision, we executed intricate structural modifications, incorporated ingenious space utilization techniques, and meticulously sourced premium materials from trusted suppliers. Throughout the transformative journey, clear communication, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering dedication to excellence were paramount. The result? A breathtaking home that not only exceeded the client's expectations but also redefined the standards of modern luxury living. At DevArt8, our passion lies in turning houses into dream homes, and this full home remodel is the epitome of our commitment to transforming spaces into true works of art.

This transitional kitchen utilizes a walk in wine cellar as well as a hidden pantry to showcase its beautiful simplicity. Vertical grain straight oak provides some depth and the quartz waterfall counter is simply stunning.

This terrace garden is designed as an open, refreshing green space with a mix of utility and relaxation. The area features a neat artificial lawn, large planters with fruiting and flowering plants, and a full vertical garden wall that adds colour and freshness.
A cosy hammock and open sitting spots make the space perfect for unwinding, reading, or spending quiet evenings outdoors.
The design keeps the terrace practical, breathable, and green — a comfortable rooftop garden that brings nature into everyday life.

The native ”pollinator meadow” gives all the functionality of a traditional lawn but reduces water use. Incorporation of native herbs into the meadow increases biodiversity, and provides herbal and floral harvest potential.
California native plants mix with culinary edimentals throughout the garden space, to maximize biodiversity for animal and human enjoyment. Vertical space was utilized with a diversity of vining plants to create privacy and living green walls around the perimeter of the garden spaces.

Rachael’s kitchen was not large to begin with, had some outdated cabinets and appliances, as well as a lot of unused space due to older style and construction. Mayflower Construction Group’s design solution was to move the range to an area that wasn’t very utilized while freeing up space for a large second counter and creating a more open and accessible kitchen. Wolf “Classic” line of flat panel cabinets framed with 2”-wide and ½”-thick plywood construction in white and pewter combined with Viatera “Karis” custom cut quartz countertop creates an enthralling combination that is calming and pleasing to the eye. The combination of vertical subway, patterned hexagon, and large textured tiles for the backsplash areas give an elevated, varied, but not over-the-top look to the entire space. Stainless steel appliances and hardware give a delightful and elegant feel to the entire living space, while “tying” together this stylish, bright, and beautiful modern-day kitchen.

The exterior features a sophisticated combination of siding types, all unified in a rich, warm Cedar color. The main structure utilizes highly textured NuCedar 18" RoughSawn Shingles, contrasted by bold NuCedar 12" & 2" RoughSawn Board & Batten siding in the base for a rustic, vertical lift. A clean, horizontal 5" NuCedar Modern Shiplap runs along the entryway and transitional walls, adding a sleek contemporary touch.

This project demonstrates a clean and professional exterior radon mitigation installation. The system is designed with a sleek, vertical exhaust stack that follows the home's architectural lines, ensuring soil gases are safely vented above the roofline. By utilizing high-quality, weather-resistant components and precise mounting, we provide a durable solution that protects indoor air quality without compromising the property's curb appeal.

Choosing to abandon uniformity in your kitchen can be a great choice if you're looking to opt out of a monochrome aesthetic. Two-toned kitchen cabinets add visual interest and contrast while drawing focus to different features within the space. Designs utilizing two-toned cabinets have become very popular in recent years and it's not a trend that will be fading out any time soon.
Our clients opted for a combination of Earl Grey and Macchiato Classic cabinetry in their two-toned kitchen. The large island with its second faucet, sink, microwave drawer and lower storage is the focal point of the room and a great work surface for food prep and entertaining. A vertical pull out PowerDock was installed into the top of the island for plugging in kitchen tools, phones and laptops. Dolomite Marble subway tile and Brunello quartz countertops brighten up the kitchen and balance out the tone of the cabinets creating a light and airy feel. The addition of contrasting touches such as the Honey Bronze, Flat Black hardware and Champaign Bronze faucets, accessories the room beautifully. The subdued and sophisticated style of this two-toned kitchen is exquisite and shows the various ways that two-tone cabinets can be versatile and appealing.
Some of the other areas that were remodeled in this home included the complete overhaul of the existing stair well, a guest bath and laundry area.
The guest bath has beautiful vanity cabinets in Celest finish, Monochrome Lotus Deco tile and very reflective Midnight Dots in the shower floor and niche. The combination of all three give a striking white, blue and black design that will inspire and show that you can use pattern and texture in small spaces. A twenty four inch wall mounted shower seat can be lifted and secured when in use and tucked away to allow access out of the shower. A pocket door from the guest bathroom provides a second access point to the hallway with the laundry that has also been revamped with the same style and finish of cabinetry.
