Pierre Koenig Modern

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:52 -0800

This exceptional ocean view residence was designed by renowned architect Pierre Koenig, whose Stahl House (Case Study House #22) in Los Angeles is one of the most iconic residences ever photographed. Characterized by post and beam architecture, clerestory windows, abundant natural light, and walls of glass that slide away to embrace the outdoor living spaces, this midcentury modern gem exhibits all the architectural qualities that made Mr. Koenig’s designs famous. The home has been extremely well preserved with original features that include: terrazzo, polished brick and concrete flooring; radiant floor heating; walnut cabinetry and paneling; and built-in buffet. Selected for its flat site and west facing orientation overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the lot has nearly 12,000 square feet of usable space. This stunning property is both a peaceful refuge and an entertainer’s delight.

Foyer and Study all in one

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 16:24 -0800

3 lights on this one...

1 CL, bouncing on a wall, another one CR bouncing on a closed down blind and the third, top of the stairs...

main idea is to flash the scene and make it look as it wasn't... faking a very smooth and warm ambient.

Family Room, Hacienda Style

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 15:21 -0800

6 lights in this one, CL, Behind me, CR Close, CR Far (below beams) and two in the DR, bounced on the wall. LS are masked by the columns...

Again, not for the Lumoagoraphobic... god knows how many lights on this one...

2 AB1600s CL and CR bouncing on wall, 2 small SB80 in the DR, bouncing on left wall, 1 upstairs, bouncing on a door, 1 in the Master to avoid the dark hole look, 1 in the foyer and that's pretty much it.

6 Lights on this one...

2 CL, 2 CR and another two behind the fireplace. Kinda PITB, lost about 10minutes on this one... according to files time, 3 minutes and something from the first test shot to the last one) and I guess I also spent another 3 to place lights at their points. Felt more thou...

Villa Riviera

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 15:29 -0800

For over 80 years this National Historic Landmark and local treasure has looked over downtown Long Beach. From its days as the premiere luxury apartment building in Long Beach to its current status as home of the most sought-after oceanfront condos in Long Beach, the Villa has maintained its mystique. Perhaps it's the classic architecture. Maybe it's the prime beach location. Or it could be the will of the gargoyles perched on the roof. Whatever it is, the Villa Riviera remains a Long Beach landmark.

Kitchen Photography - Done for the Builder

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:11 -0800

A kitchen, is a room or part of a room (sometimes called "kitchen area" or a "kitchenette") used for food preparation including cooking, and sometimes also for eating and entertaining guests, if the kitchen is large enough and designed to be used that way. Sometimes, the kitchen is the most comforting room in a house, where family and visitors tend to congregate. In this respect a large modern kitchen is still the psychological "hearth" of the home.

Eichler - Laguna Beach IN VIEW Katalina Island

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 14:00 -0800

Joseph Eichler (1900 - 1974) was a California-based, post-war residential real estate developer known for building homes in the Modernist style. Between 1950 and 1974, his company, Eichler Homes, built over 11,000 homes in Northern California and three communities in Southern California, along with 3 homes in Chestnut Ridge NY, which came to be known as Eichlers and changed the California lifestyle. During this period Eichler became one of the nation's most influential builders of modern homes. The San Francisco Bay Area Eichlers are mostly in San Francisco, Sacramento, Marin County, the East Bay, San Mateo County, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale and San Jose. The Southern California Eichler communities are in Orange, Thousand Oaks, and Granada Hills. The largest contiguous Eichler development is The Highlands in San Mateo, built between 1956 and 1964.

Bedroom Detail - Home in Belmont Shore

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:09 -0800

This is a detail of a Master Bedroom I found in one of my clients listings in Belmont Shore. While the image is not very interesting per se, the light streaming through the window and engulfing the small sitting area fought for my attention. Few seconds later I had this image.

Regular Family Room

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:38 -0800

A family room is an informal, all-purpose room in a house similar to a living room. The family room is designed to be a place where family and guests gather for group recreation like talking, reading, watching TV, and other family activities. Often, the family room is located adjacent to the kitchen, and has doors leading to the backyard and specific outdoor living areas such as a deck, garden, or terrace. The distinction between a family room, a living room, and a recreation room may be fluid. In homes with more than one, the living room is usually the more formal room, often reserved for guests, special occasions, and the display of items such as antiques or artwork.

Home of Tiffany

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 11:09 -0800

This Guest Bedroom is nothing special by itself. I was fascinated by the Tiffany lamps the owner had and enjoyed in his house. What a Tiffany lamp is? - Stained glass lamps, lighting fixtures, chandeliers and more in modern, arts and crafts, traditional and Victorian styles.

Arched Foyer, Traditional Mexican Hacienda Door

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:54 -0800

Hand-carved Mexican hacienda doors. Either of these beautiful hacienda doors would provide that special accent to a home or
business looking for traditional Mexican charm. Picture them in the doorway between a living room and dining room, or as a commanding entrance to the master bedroom.

Light and Bright Kitchen

The Color Combinations are important! While examining relationships between hues on the color wheel is an easy way to develop a great match. What Accent Color Will Pulls the Kitchen Together? Let in the Light! While this homeowner wanted to remodel for many reasons, a good lighting scheme topped her list. She made it!

Pacific View from Master Bedroom

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 07:58 -0800

If you're looking for a tranquil retreat in your new home, why not create a master bedroom fit for a king? With a View to kill for. Many homeowners are doing just that as they look for a quiet place to unwind, read a book or sit by a crackling fireplace. In many households, it's much easier to find that tranquility when away from the hustle and bustle of the kitchen, family room or home office. In this case, overlooking the fantastic views of coves and beaches of Laguna Beach, California.

I wonder who those guys were... with the Umbrella....

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 04:57 -0800

From Wikipedia: An umbrella or parasol (sometimes colloquially, gamp, brolly, or bumbershoot) is a canopy designed to protect against precipitation or sunlight. The term parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun, and umbrella refers to a device more suited to protect from rain. Often the difference is the material; some parasols are not waterproof. Parasols are often meant to be fixed to one point and often used with patio tables or other outdoor furniture, or for shelter from the sun. Umbrellas are almost exclusively hand-held portable devices; however, parasols can also be hand-held. Umbrellas can be held as fashion statements in the twenty first century for some men and women and are sometimes seen as simple accessories that complete an outfit.
