Nestled at the pine-filled forested edge of Pine Canyon's 14th hole, Ghost Tree Residences embrace light while also providing opportunities to savor night-time darkness. 💫 As the first International Dark Sky Community, the City of Flagstaff Arizona not only boats access to astronomical wonders, but also offers residents the opportunity to savor beautiful starry skies that can only be found in one of the most premiere astronomical sites in the world. ⛰ Each of the 12 luxury homes in this intimate neighborhood at Pine Canyon has been carefully positioned to enhance privacy and maximize views of the golf course and the San Francisco Peaks. 🌲 Adjacent to breathtaking national forest land in Arizona's high country, residents can enjoy sophisticated amenities, unequalled facilities, and a world of activities amid unspoiled natural beauty. Ghost Tree’s design drivers were to capture views and harmoniously fit into its natural hillside setting. The design team also focused on creating plans that blur the lines between indoors and out, introducing expansive windows and doors, as well as wrap-around decks and courtyards with fireplaces to celebrate indoor/outdoor living. Indoor spaces are varied, with lots of glass and vaulted ceilings to capture views and provide ample natural daylight. ✏ Floorplans were carefully designed to work with the nuances of each particular site, specimen trees were preserved, decks and outdoor spaces were introduced to capture views and expand seasonal living. We then began to explore a contemporary architectural aesthetic and selected natural materials and colors that blended into the mountain setting. Materials and systems were selected to be sustainable and friendly to the environment. 🤝 As one of the last neighborhood sites within Pine Canyon, the team strove to deliver something special; something that will serve as a model for how design and development blend with the natural environment dramatically, something that will deliver an unrivaled lifestyle, and most importantly, something that will leave a lasting legacy.

In this blog post, I want to share with you a recent project we did at GHD, where we had to balance the historical charm and the modern functionality of a home. One of our challenges was choosing the right window treatments for the living room, which had beautiful original millwork and plenty of natural light. We wanted to preserve the character and the age of the home while also adding some contemporary touches. After considering different options, such as drapes or shades, we decided to go with window shutters. This seems like an outdated choice for some, but if a detail looks and feels like it belongs to the space, it is worth keeping. Window shutters have many advantages: they are durable, easy to clean, and offer great control over light and privacy. They also complement the style and the architecture of the home, creating a harmonious and elegant look. The clients were initially skeptical about our suggestion, but they trusted our expertise and vision. They were very happy with the final result, and so were we. The window shutters added a touch of sophistication and warmth to the living room without compromising the natural light or the historical features. We would love to hear your thoughts on window shutters. Do you like them or not? Why? Leave us a comment below, and let's start a conversation. #windowshutters #interiordesign #historicalhome #modernupdate #windowtreatments #ghd #grayscalehomes

Excited to share a recent project that highlights how small changes can have a significant impact on living spaces – Rick's backyard transformation in Sydney! Background: Rick's backyard was already quite pleasant, but something was missing. A few strategic modifications completely altered the feel of his home. Double-Glazed Enclosures: This upgrade was phenomenal! It enhanced natural light in the house and effectively added a new room. Ideal for keeping warm in winter, cool in summer, and protected from wind and rain. Motorised Blinds: The addition of these blinds provided an easy solution for privacy and sun protection. Their user-friendly design is a hit among all age groups. Polycarbonate (PC) Awnings: Installing these over the walkway added both aesthetic and practical value. They're perfect for rain protection without blocking sunlight, making them a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts. These modifications, though simple, dramatically improved the quality of living. Rick's example is an excellent case study in how thoughtful design choices can transform a space. It's an inspiration for anyone looking to enhance their home environment.
