California Outdoor LightingThis home is the definition of curb appeal! With beautiful tree lighting casting shadows across the yard and driveway, dormer lighting bringing out the wonderful flower boxes on the second floor, and path lights that provide an inviting and safe entry - this home has it all.
ArchitectureLIVEAn inefficient and disused 1930’s Porte Cochere was replaced with a smaller sandstone-clad entrance and cloakroom extension featuring full height glazing as a connection between the old and new.
SMOOK Architecture & Urban Design, Inc.Nestled in the mountains at Lake Nantahala in western North Carolina, this secluded mountain retreat was designed for a couple and their two grown children.
The house is dramatically perched on an extreme grade drop-off with breathtaking mountain and lake views to the south. To maximize these views, the primary living quarters is located on the second floor; entry and guest suites are tucked on the ground floor. A grand entry stair welcomes you with an indigenous clad stone wall in homage to the natural rock face.
The hallmark of the design is the Great Room showcasing high cathedral ceilings and exposed reclaimed wood trusses. Grand views to the south are maximized through the use of oversized picture windows. Views to the north feature an outdoor terrace with fire pit, which gently embraced the rock face of the mountainside.

New Kitchen and Renovation of a Cottage in Mill Valley, California
The owners of this house on a sprawling hillside in Mill Valley were already familiar with our work. Their house was charming in many ways but it had been remodeled too many times by too many prior owners. It lacked cohesion and was a little dilapidated. Especially vexing to the owners were the funky disjointed rooflines visible from the upper part of their property where they were hoping to locate a hot tub and terrace for entertaining. They also wanted a new chef’s kitchen and entry. By raising the ceiling of the new kitchen, we were not only able to create a bright and airy room but we were also able to clean up the roofline. The new kitchen blends farmhouse and craftsman elements with modern appliances and Caesarstone counters. At the new lean-to entry we used heavy timber elements and a rustic custom door to accentuate the country setting. Our landscape design work included all of the walkways, stairs, terraces, decks, hot tub, trellises and the fountain of colored, board-formed concrete. Photos by Mark Brand.
