Every Inch of Storage Counts
The undersides of beds are wasted spaces unless you put stuff underneath. Find a bed frame with drawers or space for storage boxes on wheels.

The wood slab table is outstanding. And it's true that it's made more so because it is THE piece of wood. Incredible execution with the pavers and the exterior in general. Very nice.
Hey, that's my large painting on the wall! Looks nice up there. Can a brother get a shout-out?
I absolutely LOVE the skull rug on the floor of Cal's room!
Sorry Mike! We added a credit into the caption!
Big open spaces like this are exciting and fun. You mostly seem to have articles on them in California. I live in New England, and we have some great houses here too. I'd love to see more of them.
hi, do know what stereo is that? thanks!
Dead Kennedys - fresh fruit for rotting vegetables - nice choice for the stereo and i am sure your little fella loves it! A humongous fan from the land downunder - great colours love the yellow and black!
Great shoot everyone. Everything looks as amazing as it should. Kudos.
Love the house, most especially the curved wall and door to the patio... and the landscaping as well. I wonder if you can identify the moss (?) on the ground amidst the paving stones in slide 25? I'm looking to do something like this with my garden... Thanks!
Where is the wooden chair by the glass wall in Photo 4 from? Is that just for aesthetics or can someone actually sit in that?
To answer the last two questions... The ground cover between the pavers is a variety of fragrant mint, quite lovely, but we had a hard time getting it established. The chair by the window is in fact sit-able, but does starts creaking around 220 lbs! It's called the "knotted chair" by Marcel Wanders and is made of an aramid fiber (Kevlar), woven like macramé, and dipped in resin to make it rigid.
Looks great! Are there any pictures on the web of the house before this remodel?
Wow, beautiful pad Lara! What are those pavers made of? It would be nice to see the overall layout too. Is there a room that you can actually get comfortable in and sit on a cushy piece of furniture?
Very nice article, as usual! However, I share my wife's reaction when she paged through the new issue: Why don't they show a photo of the whole house? The details are fascinating, but one very important aspect to getting a "taste" of what the home is all about is a photo showing how it's set in its environment, and how it looks as a unit. Thanks and keep up the good work! Andy Gladish Guemes Island, WA
I love the idea of no trim. Trim just seems to collect dust and and in our case dog hair. It looks like your walls that meet the floor are trim-less too and if so, how is this done?
Who was the landscape architect? And are those Stepstone pavers? Beautiful.
I remember seeing the house in the series on Fine Living before the remodel, but it would be nice to have some before and after shots or at the very least floor plans.
Was the curved glass inspired by Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks". At least that is what I immediately thought of. Either way it is genius!
"what stereo is that?" I think it might be a Brionvega RR226: http://www.brionvega.it/
... or it could perhaps even be a RR126, the original model from the 1960's.
Mike, having a comfortable den was the main impetus of doing the project! The den (room where I'm reading with my son) is dark and small in scale. The comfort of the room serves as a good reminder that while modern design affords lots of light sometimes we need darker places too. And it's a testament to the idea of having rooms with specific purposes and smaller scale. Great rooms are a still a good idea but sometimes it's nice to feel contained! -Lara
The pavers are from Stepstone!
The stereo is the Brionvega RR226, a re-issue of the RR126 that was designed by Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni in 1965 (they added a CD player). And yes, the Dead Kennedys sound just fine on it. The landscaping was done by Blasen Landscape Architecture, who used outdoor pavers that are made of concrete by Stepstone. As far as baseboard, we only have it on the sheetrock walls to prevent getting beaten up by the sweeper. Some architects do forego baseboard altogether by using a reveal where the floor meets the wall and installing a 6" high piece of MDF installed flush with the sheetrock...that will prevent dings, but not scuffs. I hope that helps answer some questions.
I love the house, but it's a shame you didn't show the floor plan. I'd love to see the layout of the spaces and understand how they interact. Alex
Lovely house.
Who made the twin bed in Cal's room?
Cal's bed is from Ikea.
It's all beautiful. How thick is the kitchen countertop?
Where is that swing from in the kid's room? Would love to get one for the backyard.
What is the provenance of the black string chair? We have a set of them and have never seen them anywhere else.
The Marble kitchen countertop is 3/4" thick with a "knife edge" (tapered to 5/16"). The swing in Cal's room is home made. The String Chair is by Jacques Guillon designed in 1954.
Loved the article.You should be congratulated on the attention invested in the details!They are ,in the end the critical measure of excellence.On page 58 you are seated on a dark outdoor sofa which seems to be with a matching table.Could you please give me the make and model. Thank you.
Sorry, I just got the answer to my question on slide 26.
would love to know where the skull rug is from. Great house!
The..."subtle facet at each corner plays off the base's design and lends a more intimate feel to the long table." Nice move Señor... I'm happy that your dormant Scissor Table has a new life, now providing 'space' for reflection & repose... and a 'place' to gather with friends and family. And thank you LHD for your generous mention/credit... as well as for the privilege of including lil' old me on that beautiful MV afternoon one decade ago... when DWELL was only a twinkle in your eye. Your Dwell(ing) looked really nice then...and is absolutely great today!
Hi I was wondering if anyone knows the font types that are used in this spread in the magazine. Thanks.
Love the house - as someone whose home is currently undergoing major renovations, I can really appreciate how truly fabulous it is!! But coming in a close second to the house........ I L-O-V-E the skull carpet (looks like carpet tiles?) in Cal's room!! Have been searching the internet for the last hour trying to track it down for my son's room - please share the secret of where it is from?!?!?
Great place, wondering who did all the cabinetry? Also would be great to see floorplans!
I love your thoughtful remodel and ideas, and of course, Dwell Magazine. In order for me to visualize the spaces more effectively, would it be possible for you to show us the new floor plan?
Where are the lights in the kitchen from?
LOVE THIS HOUSE. Simply beautiful. Can you tell me more on the kitchen cabinets and counter tops used? Is that a stained oak? I really love this.
Did they really pay $750 for one electrical outlet? That's what they list at on the Bocci site.
I love the acid green door and how it is also accented in the landscape design. Is that Japanese Forest Grass used, and if so is it the Hakone Macra Aureola or the Hakone All Gold?
I have to second Jim's question: Seriously? $750 per outlet, just for the aesthetic??
...that's $750 for a pack of ten.
Please Please tell me which chair is this!!! I am in love!!! the black leather with cowhide in the back on the desk of picture 30...thx
Great home; however, at $750 for 10 that's still $75 per Bocci outlet. Pretty steep in my world. And anyway, regardless of how minimal it might be on it's own, it's purpose will remain unchanged. If it's actually used, you're still going to see a power cord cluttering up your otherwise minimal intentions. IMHO, looks more like status symbol than a full realized answer to a problem.
Great home! What is the brand of textured carpet shown in the master bedroom in photo #2?
