Studio H2O

Nov 2014

This project was a complete remodel of front and backyard. Per client’s request, more privacy was provided by a resysta fence structure and gates along with a Podocarpus hedge. A curve concrete driveway with leaf relieves inset into concrete and wavy grass infill is the other design element for the front yard. The backyard is designed in a way to satisfy the vibrant and colorful taste of the client; an orange-colored concrete wall with Mondrian pattern created by aluminum reveals and vertical succulent planting, looks like a huge art work behind the concrete bench with lime green cushions and fire pit. Resysta’s color of the deck, fence, and lattice in harmony with the Mondrian patterned wall. In contrast with the geometric forms of backyard hardscaping, the front façade of the BBQ has been covered with variety of succulents in a wavy pattern.

The Carmelina Residence, nicknamed "The Butterfly House", was a major ‪‎architectural‬ ‪‎remodel‬ where we took our clients traditional home and transformed it into a striking modern retreat that represents their style. We were able to convert this home from 3400 sq ft to 4200 sq ft with smart design and a new open floor plan, whilst giving them all new modern features. Such features include an all internal drainage system which runs through the walls, this meant we had to create water channels in the middle of the roof allowing the home to have no visible gutters, custom outdoor lighting fixtures that seamlessly blend into the architecture using Resysta (recycled composite wood), two 14 ft wide panoramic doors on the first floor that bring the outdoors in, and adding a standing seam metal roof. Other fun features seen in the home consist of a glass floor upon entry that looks down into a sculptural wine cellar, and a bar (that can host a bartender and also be self serving) with bottle display cubes on the wall behind it, all which contribute to the ‪‎modern‬ vibe of the home and makes it perfect for entertaining.
