Tamalpais Street Residence featured on Modern Home Tours
We had a great turnout at our Tamalpais Street Residence during the Silicon Valley modern home tour! Special thanks to the owners for making their home available.
If you missed the tour, you can check out photos of the project here!
Scouting Session
Back in the office, we're selecting the final images for the Kelton Avenue Residence photo shoot with Cesar Rubio. We are super excited to be able to share images of this project with you soon!⠀

Tools of the trade
Exploring Orcas Island. I'm always fascinated by expertise, obsession, and craft.
Design meetings happen anywhere
Having a design meeting at our construction site, using the wood siding as a makeshift pin-up board. Design meetings happen wherever we can.
Warm Black kitchen cabinets
At our La Donna Avenue Residence. ⠀
Delivering Samples
Delivering tile samples to the Amarillo Avenue job site. This way the contractor can calculate the bathroom floor assembly thickness for each of the bathrooms, and then match the wood floor height perfectly for a seamless transition. As the finishes go up, we're finally starting to see some color in the house!⠀
Transformation in the making
We are nearing the end of schematic design for our Cordilleras Road Residence, where we are creating a new two-story volume that complements the existing one-story home. The muted grays of the exterior palette will help highlight the magnificent trees around the property. This home will also feature a first floor that is completely wheelchair accessible inside and out.
Brand New Home
We have started schematic design for a new home in Los Altos. The home will feature an exposed concrete wall, lots of natural light (even into the basement), and a generous, open flow from room to room. This is a view from the front entry hall; you can see a sliver of the great room beyond, where the ceiling, glass walls, and view all expand to the outdoor space and pool beyond.
Exploring Tile layouts
We are exploring some really fun tile layouts for the entry courtyard at the La Donna Avenue Residence.
