A twilight view of this high end duplex in Denver that was built to minimize the risk of flooding from the 100 year flood plain where it is located. The home is built six feet above ground and features tiered landscaping in order to give it a feel of lightness.

This stunning project was a 5k complete remodel, design, and full furnish. In addition we also did an additional 1k square foot guest suite build out. The project beginning to end took about 1 year. This was a full-service design client we worked with remotely and with site visits.

"Its all about the view!" Our client has been dreaming of redesigning and updating her childhood home for years. Her husband, filled me in on the details of the history of this bay front home and the many memories they've made over the years, and we poured love and a little southern charm into the coastal feel of the Kitchen. Our clients traveled here multiple times from their home in North Carolina to meet with me on the details of this beautiful home on the Ocean Gate Bay, and the end result was a beautiful kitchen with an even more beautiful view. We would like to thank JGP Building and Contracting for the beautiful install. We would also like to thank Dianne Ahto at https://www.graphicus14.com/ for her beautiful eye and talented photography.

At the end of the opening party - the thatched roof over the sandpit offers year round interest, shade and protection from the weather. The elevated playhouse will become a "treehouse" when the plantings grow

Design by: Michelle Berwick Photos: Larry Arnal This kitchen has left me still smiling with how it came together. The color palette that started with our choice of tile ended up being our common thread and it could not have turned out better. Updating the kitchen with gorgeous cabinets, stunning backsplash, modern lighting, rose gold details and the perfect configuration has my social media blowing up! This is definitely one of my favorite kitchens, I hope they enjoy it for many years to come.

Over the years, my jobs have involved collaborating with homeowners, business owners, architects and contractors analyzing and designing plans for new construction and remodels, renovating kitchens, designing fireplaces, cabinetry, lighting, window treatments and furnishings. But even more important than the design, I believe the ability to communicate all the ideas and concepts of the design to the various trades people involved is critical to achieving the end results my clients and I envision. My 35 years in the business as well as my academic background in design have given me the ability to confidently provide this service. Give me a call, I'd love to hear from you and discuss your project.

Trend #6: Open Floor Plan Open floor plans (OFP) have been popular for many years and continue to be in 2015. The reason homeowners prefer the open living concept (particularly in the kitchen) is because the kitchen is truly "the heart of the home" - the Hub - where family and friends naturally gravitate to.

With this client who has been passionate about plants all his life, there was naturally a close collaboration and a lot of input from him. Upon closer inspection you'd find some very exceptional plants that are sort of experimental but "all worth the try" in Gordon's eyes. And he is right! I relished the opportunity to use Star Magnolia stellata, Redbud Cercis 'Avondale' and 'Silver Cloud', Arabian Lilac 'Grand Duke of Tuscany', Royal Bromeliad Vriesea imperialis, also many unusual bulbs such as Scilla. Besides structure providing shrubs and trees (Tecoma, existing Indian Hawthorne with beautiful structures, Sweet Pea Bush, Golden Breath of Heaven, Ilex, Ginkgo, Bronze Loquat etc.) you'll see here also my favorite perennials, succulents and grasses, all as low care and undemanding as well as low-water as possible, to keep the landscape colorful and interesting year round. One of the highlights of this garden are the dry stream beds, bird bath and garden bench that we added. Built originally by himself and his wife, the dry stream beds were overgrown, mostly hidden by plant debris, or half rolling down hill. We had fun selecting a mixed collection of colorful and richly textured boulders of various sizes over, and with the input from 7 team members: Gordon, me, the contractor, the supervisor and three workers, we re-created the stream beds, making sure that anchor stones on the sides were well embedded in the slope, and that stone shelves and “top dressing” with smaller pebbles would add to the visual interest. Now these beds form very pleasing architectural features that look like they have always been there. We were all surprised how quickly all plants adapted to the site and started growing and putting out bloom. Now the old birdbath, a traditional white thing with dove figurines resting on the scalloped bowl, looked out of place, and I suggested to replace it with a stone bowl. And that part of the garden just called for a bench under the Macademia nut tree, to observe the birds and contemplate the whole creation. Only stone would do, but not any stone! Gordon picked a Basalt boulder that was naturally bowl shaped. It’s so heavy that it took 8 men to heave it into place! The Basalt bench was not much lighter, and together they make a very inviting scene. This job should last for a while. Photographed by Emma Almendarez at http://www.emmatheodoraphotography.com/
