Landscape studio Moody Graham collaborated on the garden design, planting mostly edibles and a riot of flowers. The steel trellis crowns the built-in limestone bench and lavender-filled planters.
The bedroom walls are painted TK.
After: Double showerheads were a must-have, as was a large soaking tub. The vermillion wall sconces from RBW playfully contrast the neutral color scheme.
After: The new bathroom is straight out of Laura's Pinterest dreams, with stacked white ceramic tile (from Zia) and matte black fixtures (from AF Supply). She plans to add more plants to make the space even more serene.
Before: While doing construction on one house, Mairead Murphy and her partner bought the neighboring home (on the left) in an effort to save it and fix it up. That project has since been dubbed Next Door House #2.
Floating steps rise past leafy branches in this skylit stairwell designed by Anonym Studio.
In the dining room, Guillerme et Chambron armchairs from Maison Gerard surround a CB2 table. The ceiling light is by Lambert & Fils. In the kitchen, rich blue cabinetry with wood details from GD Arredamenti is topped with a Caesarstone “Aire Concrete” counter. The gold artwork is by Joyce Billet.
Ménage balanced the historic ornament with modern interventions, like the rebuilt wood staircase and glass handrail.
The French Norman–style home was built in 1927 and sits on over half an acre in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. The architects preserved much of its original detail in a 2018 remodel.
Aptly named “The Open Corner House,” the rear of the home is rotated 90 degrees, with each perpendicular exposure opening up to views of mature trees, and the all-important patio and pool area. “This is seen over and over again in the film, as the characters are often shown gazing into nature, playing outside, or gathering in covered outdoor areas,” says Ramirez.
The sprawling 5,200-square-foot residence by The Up Studio is sited in a fairly secluded and densely-wooded area of Old Westbury, New York, surrounded by mature oak and maple trees. The home’s front facade—with undulating gables and long, winding entry—is undeniably cinematic. In contrast to the traditionally-influenced front, the rear of the home embraces a more modern design sensibility. Rotated perpendicularly, the L-shaped configuration and wall of windows from Marvin maximizes natural light flowing into the home, and encourages unobstructed sightlines from the interior to the lush landscape outside.

A cantilevered staircase with tread and railings composed of translucent steel mesh now connects the second and third floors.
Fuller/Overby Architecture removed a portion of the floor between the second and third levels to create a light-filled, open-air hall. “Our approach to the project was to unearth the original hidden timbers and organize a new open plan around the spatial matrix that they define,” says Overby.
The Little Owl A-Frame’s matte-black exterior sets it apart from its woodsy neighbors.

The same large format porcelain was used for the exterior patio, which is flush with the thresholds on the sliding glass doors. Blaine added a small bumpout at the end to accommodate a larger primary suite shower.
The expanded kitchen has a large central island, with room for prep, seating, storage, and cooking. The cabinetry is a mix of wood, Shinnoki Milk Oak, and white fronts, Fenix NTM Bianco Kos. The terrazzo counters are by Concrete Collaborative. There are two types of tiles: the Mutina Rombini fluted tile on the island and Cepac Krave Sugar Tiles on the backsplash. “It looks very mid-century modern,” says Blaine of the backsplash tile. “But in this application, it also adds that little touch of depth that I think is really important to making the house feel interesting.” The counter stools are from Hay.
New living spaces now provide enclosure to create a 400-square-foot, open-air atrium at the center of the home.
Blaine Architects capped the front addition to this Eichler home with a shed roof that mimics the slope of traditional Eichlers, but slants in the opposite direction to make it distinct. The wood screen is made from Accoya.
The home is built into its grassy-dune landscape (icluding a day-lit lower level) yet still appears to float over its terrain.
The primary bathroom has Regoli Collection tile from Ames Tile and a Corian vanity counter.
Tricked out with a green rooftop deck, underwater windows, and a DJ station, this Vancouver family home knows how to have a good time.

The sink counter in water closet is made from solid Fenix, which was chosen for being more durable than black Corian. “Whenever you scratch black Corian, you see a white scratch in it,” says Béliveau. “So Fenix is way better for dark colors.”
The same Daltile is used here, alongside Fantani plumbing components.
With such sharp lines between dark and light, a high quality of craftsmanship in the build-out was key. “There's no tolerances at all,” says Béliveau. From the alignment between the wood on the floor and the tiles, to the oak cabinetry and black lacquered bathroom storage, “Everything had to be dialed in so precisely.”
A mirrored wall in the back of the bathroom reflects light.
A sightline into the bedroom shows American white oak built-ins that sync with the ceiling.
Béliveau incorporated a desk and display space along the living room wall, as well as a pocket door to the primary bedroom.

The ceiling and built-in storage wall in the bedroom are fabricated from American white oak, while the opposite wall and floor has the same grayish-white tone found in the rest of the apartment.
The same Daltile wraps the sauna interior for continuity.

The smoked glass walls of the sauna are a pointed sharp contrast to the kitchen’s lighter custom cabinetry. The ceilings are American white oak.
