Forever RedwoodModern Louvered Garden Pergolas are exactly that. Yes, you can have heavy duty louvers as your main roof component of your pergola so you can control the amount of sunlight you want at all times. Yes, you can also have it built in any size you like.

AIARenovation of a Mediterranean style home into a contemporary, loft-like, light filled space with skylight roof, 2 story slate fireplace, exposed I-beams, blue glass stairwell, glass tiled baths, and walnut and Koa kitchen. The palette is a soothing blend of browns, neutrals, and slate blue with modern furnishings and art, and Asian artifacts.

ODS ArchitectureOriginally a nearly three-story tall 1920’s European-styled home was turned into a modern villa for work and home. A series of low concrete retaining wall planters and steps gradually takes you up to the second level entry, grounding or anchoring the house into the site, as does a new wrap around veranda and trellis. Large eave overhangs on the upper roof were designed to give the home presence and were accented with a Mid-century orange color. The new master bedroom addition white box creates a better sense of entry and opens to the wrap around veranda at the opposite side. Inside the owners live on the lower floor and work on the upper floor with the garage basement for storage, archives and a ceramics studio. New windows and open spaces were created for the graphic designer owners; displaying their mid-century modern furnishings collection.
A lot of effort went into attempting to lower the house visually by bringing the ground plane higher with the concrete retaining wall planters, steps, wrap around veranda and trellis, and the prominent roof with exaggerated overhangs. That the eaves were painted orange is a cool reflection of the owner’s Dutch heritage. Budget was a driver for the project and it was determined that the footprint of the home should have minimal extensions and that the new windows remain in the same relative locations as the old ones. Wall removal was utilized versus moving and building new walls where possible.
