Urban Oasis Landscape DesignThe front yard had no path to the sidewalk - the arch had been bricked up long ago. Along with a dead lawn it was as welcoming as a no trespassing sign. I opened up the arch and added a gently curving path to the sidewalk flanked by ethereal pink rose bushes (Cape Cod) that seem to be forever blooming. Now the front yard graciously invites you in.

Herridge & Assoc., Inc.The den/study is a large room with a small space designated for the study. It has a built-in desk in the corner of the room. The den provides a quiet, comfortable place to study, read and watch TV. The owners and Debra Villeneuve Interiors created a warm and inviting space. The walls have grass cloth wall covering, the ceilings are accented with stained wood beams and the wide plank wood floors make this a room that you could sit for hours reading a book.
J. Montgomery Designs, Inc.This client started with their home remodel and then hired us to create the exterior as an extension of the interior living space. The backyard was sloped and did not provide much flat area. We built a completely private inner courtyard with an over-sized entry door, tile patio, and a colorful custom water feature to create an intimate gathering space. The backyard redesign included a small pool with spa addition (pictured here), fireplace, shade structures and built in wall fountain.

Dynamic Garage DoorHistorically, South Pasadena, CA has been home to some of the world's most lavish architectural real estate properties. This equestrian style garage was retrofitted with with custom designed equestrian carriage house style garage doors that roll-up into the overhead like a regular steel sectional door. Milky seedy glass beautifully serve as a backdrop to the elegantly placed balusters that are used throughout the home's architectural features. The double car garage door is ingeniously simulating two sets of single car doors by using design techniques that fool the eye. Adding a center post in the middle of a two car garage door further accentuates the look of two sets of swing-open carriage doors. Your eyes will not believe it when the the door rolls up into the overhead. On a side note, these custom garage doors were handcrafted out of eco-sustainable materials and faux-painted by hand to give them the look of authentic rough-sawn wood. The goal in creating some of the most gorgeous garage doors in the nation is to design, craft and finish them in such a way that the garage doors blend in with the home's architecture and not overwhelm or compete with the existing architectural elements. Dynamic Garage Door is much more than a garage door company, we are a design firm with discernment for quality, integrity and classic beauty. Each of our project is carefully planned coordinated and expedited to perfection!
