A mixture of materials gives the exterior of this midcentury-modern home visual interest and appeal. Frosted glass offers light and privacy for the home office, while rich brown siding creates a compelling sense of warmth.

This midcentury-modern home was remodeled in a way that retained its original character. The driveway, made of concrete pavers and black river stones, is designed to feel more like an entry court than a place to park your car.

This San Francisco home's landscape is designed for low water usage. Fences are kept short so as not to obstruct the gorgeous views of the San Francisco Bay.

The living area, kitchen, dining area and study are contained within one large space in this open-concept home. Rich wood floors help visually separate the modern living area and study from the kitchen and dining area. A brown and white color palette carries throughout the home, creating a calm, crisp and elegant look.
