For as long as we can remember, our beloved Jackie Gould has been a sparkle in our work-filled life. Not only was she a client but she was a friend - to all.
Bringing the Outdoors in
The Minarc team takes pride in bringing the outside, in. This includes large windows and nature-inspired art pieces. Below you will see some of our favorite art installations created by our very own Minarc team. From residential homes to commercial hotels, Minarc shows that life indoors flourishes in the most fantastic way.
The first piece shown is a plant wall located at our very own Dawnsknoll Residence in Santa Monica, California. This piece brightens up a room by giving a pop of refreshing color and not to mention the organic air from the plants themselves. The mirror below the skylight allows for even more light to shine through, creating a naturally bright ambiance in the room. In the next piece, Erla Dögg Ingjaldsdottir created a breathtaking mural inspired by the Icelandic nature using living moss. This art piece is located at the ION Adventure Hotel in Iceland. The third installation shown is from our Dawnsknoll Residence. This piece reflects the natural juxtaposition between fire and ice through the red kitchen island and ice glass piece. This is inspired by the natural Icelandic landscape of volcanic lava fields and glaciers nearby.
Minarc’s art installations illustrate the beauty of nature from the comfort of your own home. The Minarc team strongly believes that as much exposure to nature as possible will lift any mood and make one feel happy and refreshed. That is the goal for Minarc’s homes - to make home your happiest place.

Summer - The Backyards Edit
With summer quickly approaching we have to appreciate our Minarc backyards. Everywhere from Los Angeles to Iceland, our houses are specially designed for the ideal summer day, year-round. With perfectly placed windows, airflow is one thing you don’t need to worry about to keep you cool on those hot summer days. With that said, floor heating from a natural hydronic system helps keep the home a cozy, warm temperature for those brisk Icelandic nights.
Some of our favorite backyards are featured below. From our Sherbourne residence in Culver City, we see a spacious backyard with a grill perfect for summer bbqs at sunset or pool parties with the kids! Next we have our Mildred residence. With a built in ping pong table, grill, fireplace, AND a beautiful view overlooking the Venice area, this rooftop just screams summer! Another favorite is our nIce house, located in Iceland. The expansive windows bring the nature in with a sophisticated look yet holds the warmth for the Icelandic summer nights.
All in all, the summers wouldn’t be complete without our Minarc backyards! Click here for more info about the Minarc team.
