Large comfortable sectional fronted by oversize coffee table is perfect for both table games and movie viewing – and when company is staying, the sectional doubles as two twin size beds. Drapes hide a full length closet for clothing and bedding – no doors required, so sound is absorbed and the area is free of the harshness of ordinary media rooms. Zebra wood desk in foreground allows this room to triple as an office!
EcoNest Architecture IncHorizontal Japanese braces surround and define the living room core. Its rice paper ceiling is echoed by the shoji panels, which retract to reveal the round window of the bedroom beyond. A simple alter with a black granite sill is built into the central axis on the living room wall.

Mark Brand ArchitectureThe design of this remodel of a small two-level residence in Noe Valley reflects the owner’s passion for Japanese architecture. Having decided to completely gut the interior partitions, we devised a better arranged floor plan with traditional Japanese features, including a sunken floor pit for dining and a vocabulary of natural wood trim and casework. Vertical grain Douglas Fir takes the place of Hinoki wood traditionally used in Japan. Natural wood flooring, soft green granite and green glass backsplashes in the kitchen further develop the desired Zen aesthetic. A wall to wall window above the sunken bath/shower creates a connection to the outdoors. Privacy is provided through the use of switchable glass, which goes from opaque to clear with a flick of a switch. We used in-floor heating to eliminate the noise associated with forced-air systems.
AMS Landscape Design Studios, Inc.This truly unique and natural concept was designed without a single straight line to break the usual 'conventional' residence design ideas. Highlighted upon entry is a raised rock water feature spilling from the base of a large specimen oak tree and collecting into a meandering 'stream' before joining a small water basin with bubbling fountains. With incredibly detailed stonework, unique specimen trees and plantings and a distinctive fireplace, this illustrious residence shows the potential of unique theme and exquisite installation
CustomMade.comIn this clean, warm bathroom, delicacy is in the Asian-meets-contemporary details. The elegant line of the bamboo ladder becomes an inventive towel rack and the light framework of the paneling in the walls and windows adds balance and structure with plenty of room for light to flow in.
