Design ideas for a contemporary entryway in Miami.

This new house is reminiscent of the farm type houses in the Napa Valley. Although the new house is a more sophisticated design, it still remains simple in plan and overall shape. At the front entrance an entry vestibule opens onto the Great Room with kitchen, dining and living areas. A media room, guest room and small bath are also on the ground floor. Pocketed lift and slide doors and windows provide large openings leading out to a trellis covered rear deck and steps down to a lawn and pool with views of the vineyards beyond. The second floor includes a master bedroom and master bathroom with a covered porch, an exercise room, a laundry and two children’s bedrooms each with their own bathroom Benjamin Dhong of Benjamin Dhong Interiors worked with the owner on colors, interior finishes such as tile, stone, flooring, countertops, decorative light fixtures, some cabinet design and furnishings Photos by Adrian Gregorutti

This is an example of a large contemporary house exterior in Los Angeles with a flat roof.

Updating this 1960s hilltop house on a secluded side road off Napa Valley, the client was interested in working with and customizing the architectural language of the home, not converting it into typical Napa faux-Tuscan. Throughout the project materials from the area's agricultural heritage were used: rusted corrugated metals, concrete and aged barn boards. The home was remodeled inside and out, including a new kitchen and bathrooms, sculptural sun shades and a pivoting steel gate to access the secluded entry courtyard.
