Bianchi DesignThis spectacular project was a two year effort, first begun by demoing over $400k of spec home madness and reducing it to rubble before rebuilding from the ground up.

This project was for a repeat client that had worked with Bianchi before. Bianchi's first effort was to paint the broad strokes that would set the theme for the exterior layout of the property, including the pool, patios, outdoor "bistro", and surrounding garden areas. Then Bianchi introduced his specialized team of artisans to the client to implement the details. Contact Kirk to learn more!
The centerpiece of the backyard is a deck level vanishing edge pool flush in the foreground, strikingly simple and understatedly elegant in its first impression, though complex under the hood. The pool, built by Tyler Mathews of Natural Reflections Pools, seems to emerge from the ground as the deck terraces downward, exposing a wetted wall on the background. It is flanked by two mature ironwood trees anchored within stone planters on either side, that bookend the entire space. A singular monochromatic glass tile spa rises above the deck plane, shimmering in the sunlight, perfection wrought by Luke and Amy Denny of Alpentile, while three sets of three spillways send concentric ringlets across the mirrored plane of glassy water.
Bianchi's landscape star Morgan Holt of EarthArt worked his magic throughout the property with his exquisite selection of specimen trees and plant materials, and above all, his most challenging feat, crafted a Michaelangeloesque cascading stair, reminiscent of that at the Laurentian Library, levitating and flowing down over the front water feature like a bridal train.
This will be a project long enjoyed by the owners, and the team that created it.
Simmonds & Associates, Inc.This property has a wonderful juxtaposition of modern and traditional elements, which are unified by a natural planting scheme. Although the house is traditional, the client desired some contemporary elements, enabling us to introduce rusted steel fences and arbors, black granite for the barbeque counter, and black African slate for the main terrace. An existing brick retaining wall was saved and forms the backdrop for a long fountain with two stone water sources. Almost an acre in size, the property has several destinations. A winding set of steps takes the visitor up the hill to a redwood hot tub, set in a deck amongst walls and stone pillars, overlooking the property. Another winding path takes the visitor to the arbor at the end of the property, furnished with Emu chaises, with relaxing views back to the house, and easy access to the adjacent vegetable garden.

Griffin Enright ArchitectsA view of the horizontal volumes of the house that connect to the terrain beyond.
Ceramica FioraneseAmelia is a village in Umbria founded earlier than Rome, perched on limestone rock and replete with hidden corners, walls and Roman cisterns.
The surrounding countryside hosts some marvellous farmhouses, such as this renovation of a centuries-old stone construction composed of two buildings. The owners wanted to maintain the local colours and materials, but without sacrificing the practical characteristics and technical performance of the stone-effect porcelain stoneware in the MONTPELLIER and HERITAGE collections by Fioranese.
The Montpellier collection is also featured in the outdoor paving of the main building and the annex, with the 2cm version used under the porticos and around the pool edge.
The inevitable Fioranese decorative touch is evident in the CEMENTINE_RETRÒ and FORMELLE_20 collections used in two of the bathrooms.
