Mark Brand Architecture
Our design for the façade of this house contains many references to the work of noted Bay Area architect Bernard Maybeck. The concrete exterior panels, aluminum windows designed to echo industrial steel sash, redwood log supporting the third floor breakfast deck, curving trellises and concrete fascia panels all reference Maybeck’s work. However, the overall design is quite original in its combinations of forms, eclectic references and reinterpreting of motifs. The use of steel detailing in the trellis’ rolled c-channels, the railings and the strut supporting the redwood log bring these motifs gently into the 21st Century. The house was intended to respect its immediate surroundings while also providing an opportunity to experiment with new materials and unconventional applications of common materials, much as Maybeck did during his own time.
Revealing Assets - Home Staging Services
We have a HUGE soft spot for glass-block walls, especially when on an exterior wall, which allows natural light to flood through! Revealing Assets staged this amazing Italian 2-Story beauty for sale in St. Albert, Alberta.
Cantoni
Imagine life onboard your very own cruise ship, moored on a perpetually tranquil blue sea. That mental picture of outdoor, oceanic bliss is exactly what attracted Mr. and Mrs. Stansfield to this stunning waterfront home on exclusive Gilbert Island in Huntington Beach, California.
Drawn to the lifestyle provided by a residence on the bay, with ready access to their boat, the Southern California couple purchased the home 2+ years ago and quickly set about updating and redecorating the interior. Hoping to create a comfortable environment suited for hosting family and entertaining friends, The Stansfield’s were not initially certain Cantoni would fit the bill as a decorative resource.
