This large gated estate includes one of the original Ross cottages that served as a summer home for people escaping San Francisco's fog. We took the main residence built in 1941 and updated it to the current standards of 2020 while keeping the cottage as a guest house. A massive remodel in 1995 created a classic white kitchen. To add color and whimsy, we installed window treatments fabricated from a Josef Frank citrus print combined with modern furnishings. Throughout the interiors, foliate and floral patterned fabrics and wall coverings blur the inside and outside worlds.

Phillip Cocker Photography The Decadent Adult Retreat! Bar, Wine Cellar, 3 Sports TV's, Pool Table, Fireplace and Exterior Hot Tub. A custom bar was designed my McCabe Design & Interiors to fit the homeowner's love of gathering with friends and entertaining whilst enjoying great conversation, sports tv, or playing pool. The original space was reconfigured to allow for this large and elegant bar. Beside it, and easily accessible for the homeowner bartender is a walk-in wine cellar. Custom millwork was designed and built to exact specifications including a routered custom design on the curved bar. A two-tiered bar was created to allow preparation on the lower level. Across from the bar, is a sitting area and an electric fireplace. Three tv's ensure maximum sports coverage. Lighting accents include slims, led puck, and rope lighting under the bar. A sonas and remotely controlled lighting finish this entertaining haven.

„Haussicht“ von Baufritz als konstruktive Herausforderung Design meets Baukunst Wer wirklich Neues schaffen möchte, muss ausgefahrene Wege verlassen und bereit sein, ein Wagnis einzugehen. Das war für Helmut Holl, Projektleiter und ehemaliger Geschäftsführer von Anfang an klar, und rückblickend konstatiert er: „Das Projekt Haussicht, die konsequente Verbindung von Architektur, Design, - und unseren ökologischen Wertevorstellungen war für das gesamte Team ein Abenteuer“. Das Abenteuer wurde gemeistert. Das heißt, beide Seiten – in persona Designer Alfredo Häberli und Architekt Stephan Rehm – waren offen füreinander, bereit den anderen zu verstehen und auch fremde Ideen in die eigene Denkwelt aufnehmen. „Wir wollten Grenzgänger sein, Dinge neu durchdenken und Möglichkeiten ausloten“, sagt Rehm. „Wir suchten Wege, eine neue Holzbausprache zu entwickeln, den Konstruktionen Leichtigkeit zu geben und beispielsweise die Statik spürbar zu machen“, erklärt Häberli, dem man nachsagt, beim Designen mit dem Herzen zu denken. Entstanden ist ein Gebäude, das keine Kulissenarchitektur zeigt, sondern echten, sichtbaren Holzbau. Design und Architektur fließen ineinander, was bei der neuartigen Fassade aus haushoher Vertikalverschalung („Häberli-Schalung“) ebenso deutlich wird wie bei den üppigen Glasflächen mit schlanken Holzständern dazwischen und der hinterlüfteten Hartbedachung aus Blech, die die Robustheit eines geneigten Daches mit Flachdacharchitektur verbindet. Ökologischer Holzsystembau Rein praktisch ging es auch darum, gemeinsam Lösungen für eine moderne, ökologische Holzsystembauweise zu entwickeln, die trotz standardisierten Details eine freie architektonische Gestaltung ermöglicht. Fazit: Die Ideen und Designvorgaben konnten von Baufritz bis auf Nuancen konstruktiv umgesetzt werden und fließen in die reguläre Häuserproduktion ein. Wobei es für Häberli, der üblicherweise kleinere Gegenstände wie Trinkgläser oder Sitzmöbel gestaltet ein echtes Aha-Erlebnis gab: In diesem Fall sah er seine Schöpfung erst nach dem Bau 1:1 und in voller Größe.

Home Bar Design Ideas with Brown Cabinets and Orange Cabinets

A home bar can provide a spot of indulgence for one, or be a central hub you gather round when entertaining. Whether you’re thinking of planning a wine bar, outdoor bar, or just making room for a bar cart, browse these images for inspiration, and ask yourself the following questions.

Where should you position your home bar?

The most popular location for a home bar is in or near the kitchen or dining room. If you prefer entertaining outdoors, however, an outdoor bar can be a dream addition to any Aussie backyard – and imagine the luxury of swimming up to your very own pool bar! If you're building from scratch, a landscape architect can help you work out the ideal design for your space.

What type of home bar is best suited to your needs?

Home bars come in all shapes and sizes, and with an array of practicalities. Utilise an awkward corner with a cabinet bar; maximise floor space with a trunk bar, which unfolds to create a bar counter; or conveniently turn any space in your house into a bar room with a mobile bar such as a fun bar cart. If you prefer a more grandiose option, or all the amenities of a real bar, you can’t go past a built-in home bar.

What home bar functionalities do you want to include?

Decide how you will use the bar and whether you will need sinks, storage and refrigeration. Including a sink in your home bar design is a practical addition if you choose a location far from your kitchen. If you’re a wine connoisseur, you may want to include additional wine storage, whereas a mini bar fridge within the kitchen may need no extra storage at all. Home bars that will be used infrequently – perhaps an outdoor bar in the cooler months – may not need refrigeration and could suffice with large ice buckets.

What bar furniture will you need?

Seating is essential to any home bar and will impact the style of your home bar design. Bar stools, for example, come in an array of materials and styles, from traditional wooden bar stools, to resort- and industrial-style stools. Storage is another important element, so look for a liquor cabinet and wine racks. Next, if you are creating a freestanding station, you will need a bar table, which are taller and shallower than regular dining tables. Check that your stools and table height work together before you finalise any home bar designs.

How can you personalise your bar design?

Bar tools and accessories are an easy and interchangeable way to personalise your bar design. You may want to create a wine bar, tavern-style bar or retro bar, so look for wine glasses and tumblers, for instance, that will help carry this style. Coasters, bar mats or signage will help you to further achieve your desired look.
