1. Menlo Park Playful Modern

Interior designer: Regan Baker Design, Location: Menlo Park, California

From the interior designer: “This was one of our most fun, colorful and cat-friendly projects! Hired at the 2014 San Francisco Decorator’s Showcase, Regan Baker Design transformed our client’s low-ceilinged, dark craftsman into a modern, lofty, light-filled home that really reflects their personalities— they're do-it-yourselfers and crafty engineers.”

2. Peak-a-Boo House

Architect: POST Architecture Inc., Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

From the project uploader: “The composition of light and dark materials repeat themselves throughout the house, and offer a harmonious visual throughout the open space. They are more than cosmetic elements, as the dark accents unite objects and spaces into a larger composition and add to the perception of depth; the bright white colors expand light into the spaces and add to one’s sense of well-being.”

3. Conde D'eu House

Architect: Estúdio Penha, Location: São Paulo, Brazil

From the architect: “The use of vintage and unique pieces—such as the light fixtures in the dining room and the railings—not only bring comfort, but also add a touch of finesse and detail, contrasting with the grand scale of the spaces. [The house is designed] to integrate itself with its environment and interiors by making good use of a natural atmosphere, which is one of the main characteristics of this neighborhood.”

4. Modern Spanish Revival

Homeowners and designers: Colossus Mfg., Location: Sacramento, California

From the homeowners and designers: “We repurposed many of the home’s original materials while also modernizing the place by adding bright elements throughout the home for a light, airy vibe, and more outdoor amenities to extend our usable living space and take advantage of the 300+ days of California sunshine we normally get in Sacramento.”

5. Minimal in Mill Valley

Architect: Red Dot Studio, Location: Mill Valley, California

From the architect: “The family’s way of life is driven by humility and simplicity. Loving and natural, their daily life is without artifice. It was important for the entire team that their house reflects this with honesty. The color palette is pure and warm.”
