As the project continues we are now able to see the beautiful exterior transformation. This house went from drab curb appeal to a fabulous front elevation giving this home the much needed superior curb appeal.

Create a welcome fit for the season, without getting too scary, using our Pre-lit Black Topiary Tree. We took the classic green, two-orb topiary, wildly popular for its pleasing symmetry, and gave it a midnight black makeover. The result is a wickedly perfect combination of spookiness and sophistication. Orbs are made of lifelike foliage, expertly decorated with long-lasting orange mini lights. Display it in the included black plastic garden pot, or drop the entire topiary right into one of your existing urns. Great in pairs.

The home just as the last of the finish carpentry was being completed. The new front porch really revitalized the homes curb appeal and character. Dan Winklebleck

A mixture of stone and brick lends an earthy feel that allows the home to blend with the surrounding lakefront landscape. An angled courtyard garage and arched entry welcome you home. An eye-catching cupola with weather vane crowns the roof-line of this luxurious lakefront home.

A few months after moving into this aging 2200 s.f. 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath Spanish bungalow, a creative couple decided to renovate to better fit their lifestyle. In phase one, we demo-ed the entire downstairs to create a sunny, open-concept living area with a bar, kitchen, and dining. We also added built-in storage and a powder room, to make the home more functional. When we finished this space, not only did the rooms flow into each other, but the new interior stucco flowed throughout the house. The stucco curved around corners and the edges of ceilings, forming a seamless fireplace mantle and hood, arched passageways, and hollow storage nooks. Phase two included replacing rotting wooden doors and windows with aluminum windows and new French doors. We installed a bubble-gum pink front door with simple cut-outs that, combined with the sensual stucco, imbued a hint of coastal art deco, a la Miami. We re-stuccoed the home’s exterior and resurfaced the polished concrete roof deck. Now the former Spanish bungalow is as bright, eclectic, playful, and immediate as Venice Beach itself. Its vibe is part-vintage twee, part California contemporary, with a hint of Mediterranean in the exterior entry tire. But even with these varied influences, the space feels cohesive, clean, and airy. It’s a unique home that radiates the values (health, wellbeing, originality, and good times) of its inhabitants.

The ShopBoxes grew from a homeowner’s wish to craft a small complex of living spaces on a large wooded lot. Smash designed two structures for living and working, each built by the crafty, hands-on homeowner. Balancing a need for modern quality with a human touch, the sharp geometry of the structures contrasts with warmer and handmade materials and finishes, applied directly by the homeowner/builder. The result blends two aesthetics into very dynamic spaces, staked out as individual sculptures in a private park.⁠ Design by Smash Design Build and Owner (private) Construction by Owner (private)
