Some from our most recently completed house in .

Check out this fantastic cantilevered stair detailing with connections fabricated by the talented client. A few headaches along the way to get the angles right. A labor of love for a unique result we couldn't be happier with!

great video with Jimmy Goldstein going through his house (aka Sheats / Goldstein House) by architect John Lautner completed in 1963 and some of the changes he has made along the way. One of the most famous private houses immortalised in several movies (Big Lebowski our fave) and is promised to The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

'(LACMA) has announced that John Lautner's famous LA residence, the James Goldstein House - often referred to as the Sheats Goldstein Residence - has been promised to the museum by its current owner James Goldstein. The gift includes the house itself, a James Turrell skyspace which is located on the property, and architectural models of the home (as well as a number of artworks and Goldstein's 1961 Rolls Royce for good measure). The house will be the museum's first architectural acquisition'

An architectural masterpiece with breathtaking views and advanced technology will be the site of two NBA parties during All-Star Weekend 2018.

a beautiful example of inside / outside connection - going above and beyond the minimum standards that satisfies a deep human desire of connection to nature (still with all the amenities!)

the classic New Zealand 'bach', built with minimal comforts and budgets as coastal retreats. sadly being overtaken by luxury mansions the charms of the bach are as unchanging as the million dollar views they overlook.
