Dream Homes by William Hefner

My husband and I recently found out that we are going to have to demo our pool...a HUGE bummer, especially since we were completely blind-sided by it. We bought the house for the pool-appropriate lot size so despite the cost, we are going to put a new one in. The sum up the situation, I'm feeling very frustrated and apprehensive about the impending demo and construction process. Waaa waah.

Since we're pretty much starting from scratch with the design, I've been scouring the interwebs for inspiration. During my recon missions, I ran across William Hefner's work on Pinterest. William Hefner, Inc. is an LA-based architecture firm that has executed some pretty amazing projects.

After finding my way the the WH site, I looked through everything and had the most fun looking through the Residential portfolio. The homes designed by this group are really unique and special both on the outside and inside. There are so many distinct elements that make these houses so extraordinary...for instance, I love the tiled roofs, steel windows, and the paneled walls. These are all details that I hope to include in a custom home one day.

Here are a few examples of William Hefner's handiwork:

 Is your jaw on the floor? I'd die to live in any of the homes above but I probably like the exterior of the one above best. I like the interior of the French-style one though. What about you?

  3. I loved all of them. I especially like how they did the deep window surrounds on most of the houses in order to bounce more light around. Great designs. Good luck with your pool. I've been impressed with the work of Complete Landsculpture here in the Metroplex:
