Del Camino
Our Del Camino home in Arizona is a modern, multi-level home with a two-story-tall great room space surrounded by floor-to-ceiling window to make the entire home light, open and airy. This openness also creates a connection to the scenic backyard with the great room actually opening up to accommodate indoor / outdoor living.

Another way we create indoor / outdoor living is with two levels of rooftop terraces – one accessed via an exterior spiral staircase. The upper level also includes an exercise room (or multifunctional space that could be an exercise room or an additional lounge space) that overlooks and is open to both the front and back of the house.

This organic design takes advantage of its unique landscape as it emerges from and interacts with the nearby wetlands. The horizontal-cut stone siding gives the home a sleek and modern look. The many windows are positioned to maximize the amazing views, and to ensure privacy.

Asked to create outdoor areas on a small, tight lot, the design team integrated the indoor and the outdoor spaces to create beautiful places to entertain on a lower level terrace as well as a main level cantilevered deck.

Stone Pier
This modern design utilizes stone piers to suspend volumes of glass to create the interior spaces, and capture views from throughout the home to connect with the natural beauty of the surrounding wetlands. Inside, wood elements are used to give warmth and contrast to the stone to create a welcoming feel to the spaces.

Modern on the Prairie
We named this home Modern on the Prairie. Certainly, Pa Ingalls didn’t design this one. We designed it in a Modern architectural spacial design by using vertical and horizontal planes to create the spaces. No post and beams or headers. Its flat roof helps further expresses the planes. There -are- some classical elements to it: it’s symmetrical and the forms create the space vs random arrangements made in some modern architecture.

Winery Estate
Our Tuscany Lodge style home is composed with natural materials that give a sense of permanence and age – blending right in with a good aged bottle of wine. It's fitting, since the home is situated on a Winery Estate.

Tuscan Villa
Inspired by travels, this home transports our client back to a relaxing vacation in Tuscany – every day. It blends classical architectural elements with modern touches to give it an old world European feeling.

Although this is a single family residence, we designed the exterior with multiple building-like masses to surround the whole house and give it the appearance of being a place for many to stay. Guests and visitors would never know that this home is actually two remodels done in two different phases, as the exterior invites you into a home where classic Tuscan architecture blends seamlessly with modern living.

Modern Montana
Built into the hillside, this industrial ranch sprawls across the site, taking advantage of views of the landscape. A metal structure ties together multiple ranch buildings with a modern, sleek interior that serves as a gallery for the owners collected works of art. A welcoming, airy bridge is located at the main entrance, and spans a unique water feature flowing beneath into a private trout pond below, where the owner can fly fish directly from the man-cave!

The Woodland House
Woodland House is a private, bespoke replacement dwelling located in East Devoncompleted in late 2022 by award-winning Winchester-based Architects, AR Design Studio.
The clients approached AR seeking to relocate from the hustle and bustle of London to the tranquillity of rural Devon. Their children had left home, meaning that they were able to downsize, and so they were presented with the opportunity to pursue their lifelong dream and create their dream contemporary home.

Yeats House
The Yeats House is a spacious modern barnhouse which takes advantage of an irregular lot and a large rear yard. The clients came to BLA Design Group asking for their dream house; a modern yet comfortable home for their growing family. The home needed to serve a young family well; providing a central gathering space that encourages time spent together.

The irregular site located at the end of a cul-de-sac required a thoughtful approach to the massing and layout of the Yeats House. There are two main building forms connected by a glass hallway; a form for the garage and another for the house. The shape of the site consists of a narrow wedge providing access from the road; this wedge holds the garage form. A large rectan... More
