Descending terracotta steps into a serene, shimmering pool—transforming your home into a tranquil oasis. We choose materials with rich textures and a soothing interplay of light, each step evokes a sense of warmth and harmony. The gentle feel underfoot, paired with artful illumination, invites relaxation and elevates your everyday retreat. Terracotta steps become the bridge between comfort and nature.
California’s wildfire season highlights the importance of resilient design. By integrating fire-resistant materials, thoughtful landscaping, and strategic building methods, we can help safeguard homes against fire risk. Sustainable solutions—such as ember-proof vents, non-combustible surfaces, and defensible space—ensure our residences not only look beautiful, but also offer peace of mind amidst ever-changing conditions. We integrate these designs in all our homes.
New residence in Altadena, using high-performance, non-combustible "skin" designed for longevity and wildfire defense. The palette is central to this vision, featuring high-density fiber cement, corrugated metal roofing, and a structural core of pre-engineered steel. The goal is a seamless integration of intelligent, site-specific performance and a refined modern aesthetic.
