Huizache House

PAUL CREMOUX studio

A visual artist and his fiancée’s house and studio were designed with various themes in mind, such as the physical context, client needs, security, and a limited budget. Six options were analyzed during the schematic design stage to control the wind from the northeast, sunlight, light quality, cost, energy, and specific operating expenses. By using design performance tools and technologies such as Fluid Dynamics, Energy Consumption Analysis, Material Life Cycle Assessment, and Climate Analysis, sustainable strategies were identified. The building is self-sufficient and will provide the site with an aquifer recharge that does not currently exist. The main masses are distributed around a courtyard, creating a moderately open construction towards the interior and closed to the outside. The courtyard contains a Huizache tree, surrounded by a water mirror that refreshes and forms a central part of the courtyard. The house comprises three main volumes, each oriented at different angles to highlight different views for each area. The patio is the primary circulation stratagem, providing a refuge from the wind, a connection to the sky, and a night sky observatory. We aim to establish a deep relationship with the site by including the open space of the patio.

Duck Lake Landing

Roughing It In Style

Our designer transformed this open-concept dining room into an elegant yet relaxed gathering space. At the heart lies a reclaimed oak dining table, its rich texture a contrast to the sleek white linen chairs. A carefully selected rug unifies the setting, while a brass chandelier adds a touch of modern luxury. The walls feature vintage Field and Stream magazine covers, lending a nod to classic Americana. The end result is a dining room where every meal feels like an occasion, but every guest feels at home.

The Meditation Destination: Play Mor Vintage Trailer

Wood & Locks

Our client, a life coach and meditation practitioner, came to Wood & Locks with a request: to transform the forgotten vintage Play Mor trailer into a back yard home office and meditation space. Working within the client's functional requests, we designed a space where nostalgia meets modern tranquility. Breathing new life into this more shabby-than-chic vintage gem, thoughtful design choices went into creating a space that seamlessly bridges the gap between a home office for one and a multi-person meditation alcove. The trailer was carefully stripped down to its bare essentials. This involved removing the interior fittings, appliances, and any elements that were no longer usable or not aligned with the new design concept. Structural repairs were a critical part of the process. Any rust or damage to the frame was addressed, ensuring the trailer's integrity. This step was essential to make the trailer both safe and sturdy for its new purpose. The interior design was a fusion of vintage charm and modern functionality — reclaimed wood was used to create warm, rustic accents, and the layout was optimized for the new functions of a multi-purpose space. The interior was insulated for climate control, and new electrical and lighting systems were installed for practicality and ambiance. The color palette and decor choices were designed to create a calming and meditative atmosphere. Soft, soothing colors, such as blues and greens, were used to foster a sense of tranquility. The choice of furnishings, including modular office furniture and sleeping quarters, were curated for both comfort and style. The restoration process was a careful blend of preserving the trailer's vintage charm and adapting it to a modern purpose. The result was a unique, inviting, and functional backyard office and meditation destination that celebrated the best of both worlds – the past and the present.

Dining Room Design Ideas with Wood and Wood Walls

A dining room can be used for casual dining, integrated into an open plan and connected to the living and kitchen areas; or as a formal space reserved solely for entertaining. While it may not be used frequently, it is a great focal point in the home, and requires little furnishings. Here's what you need to consider before you start planning a new dining room...

How will you use your dining room?

First, consider how frequently you will use the space. If you plan on using your dining room on a daily basis, a casual dining set-up with sturdy, long-lasting furniture is best. As for where you position it – well, any unused space in the home can be converted into a casual dining space, whether it be at the end of a kitchen island, or at the bottom of the stairs. A formal dining room, on the other hand, is more suited to a dedicated space, which is more common in heritage homes where space originally wasn’t at a premium. Perhaps you want your dining room to multi-task and accommodate everyday meals, homework sessions and grown-up dinner parties… If that’s the case, furniture is key. Look for versatile dining tables in either Australian or New Zealand hardwood or weathered timber for a more rustic look. These won’t show up sticky fingerprints as much and can be dressed up for guests.

What size and shape should your dining table be?

Your dining table should be able to seat all family members with some room for additional guests – each person should have at least 60 centimetres of space at the table. The right size, however, also depends on how much room you have. A general rule of thumb is to leave no less than 1 metre from the dining table to the wall or any additional furniture, so people have enough room to comfortably move around the space. Rectangular dining tables are versatile and can work in a variety of settings, while oval dining tables are more traditional and can turn any meal into an occasion. If you have a tight space to work in, a round dining table is best, and also a great option if you want to encourage conversation. A square dining table can be a dramatic addition to a dining room, but only if you have the space. It allows everyone at the table to see each other, but the bigger the table, the harder it will be able to hold a conversation with someone at the other end.

What type of dining chairs should you choose?

Once you’ve decided on a dining table, look for dining chairs that share a common design element. If your dining table legs are curved, for example, try to match them with dining chairs that have a similar curve, either in the legs or back. Next, consider the dimensions of the chair. The height of your dining chairs should allow at least 30 centimetres between the top of the seat and the top of the table. And to keep your tush happy, avoid dining chairs narrower than 45 centimetres.

How can you decorate your dining room?

Dining rooms are relatively minimal spaces, but that makes them a great place to splash a little colour through artwork, especially if yours is a formal dining room. If your dining room is lacking warmth, consider painting the walls a deep shade of red or blue, or go contemporary with black or grey. A cosy rug will make the space feel more intimate, while a sideboard or cabinet of curiosities will further personalise the space. Often overlooked, dining room lighting can also drastically alter the mood of a room, creating drama, spurring romance or encouraging conversation. Opt for soft lighting in the dining area with dimmer switches, and choose oversized pendants in large, open spaces or to make the dining area more of a focal point. Finally, add some table settings, such as a lace tablecloth for a whimsy feel, or a more basic table runner for a chic look.
