Just a great garage. The sliding door closets seem unusual for a garage, but could be a good way to balance storage and tidiness.
Some great bike storage. Pivoting hangers accomodate more bikes in a smaller space while keeping things tidy.
A lovely outdoor space. Aesthetically probably too mediterranean, but layout-wise it's a nice combination of cooking, dining, seating, and fire places with the sort of semi-protected enclosure we've like in other photos.
This is a great mudroom integrating a generous drying rack for gear. This would be great, since skiing generates so much damp equipment that needs to dry out. This one includes bent pegs in the lower rows to accomodate boots and boot liners. The mesh-fronted closet doors are a nice touch to allow gear/jackets to dry while giving the room a tidy appearance.
Glass/panel door and wall hardware by Portapivot. Not many examples on Houzz, but they do doors, walls, and sliders. Nice clean aesthetic Master bed? Office?
Another creek swale with a more natural (less fussy) look.
Pebble 'streambed' dressing for the drainage swale along the right and back edge of the lot?
Backyard tiering of spaces to accomodate lot slope. Integration of planter beds. Natural aesthetic (but this example may be a little intense).
Fun lighting/art piece
Integrated spa with clean lines
Semi-shaded, semi-protected outdoor space with seating/dining/cooking
Interrupted pavers make the patio less monotonous

Excessive/indulgent, but a climbing wall would be fun. But indoor would be best.
A better-integrated climbing wall. But indoor would be best.
Open riser stairs; clean lines and materials; nice light
I like that the walls are asymmetric and it's not all wood.
Great colors. Cool exterior and warm interior.
A nice rammed earth wall
Neat door! The windows are cool, too.
Neat mixed materials, not crazy about the handles.
Nice and airy. Open riser stairs and a large window
Cool ambiance. Nice mix of colors.
Wide door with a big pull bar, materials.
Beams are neat. Good colour and warmth from these glulams.
I love the tile and the shelves (don't need the rain shower or skylight).
Great utensil storage.
Great lighting drama in a half-bath
More dramatic lighting in a half bath
A mini-bridge! Not crazy about the wood and tile choice.
A very calming half-bath.
The reclined built-in bench seems like a comfy variation
Nice built-ins; clever outlet placement
Captures a connection between the dining space and great view. But that's way too much glass outside of temperate climates.
Nice built-ins. Though we don't want them as dining table seating.
Similar to things we've talked about. Not crazy about the material combination; kind of muddy.
Fantastic light/shadow. What's up with the pebbles? Flush baseboards don't seem worth the trouble.
Open riser, single stringer stairs look dramatic
