The design of this remodel of a small two-level residence in Noe Valley reflects the owner's passion for Japanese architecture. Having decided to completely gut the interior partitions, we devised a better-arranged floor plan with traditional Japanese features, including a sunken floor pit for dining and a vocabulary of natural wood trim and casework. Vertical grain Douglas Fir takes the place of Hinoki wood traditionally used in Japan. Natural wood flooring, soft green granite and green glass backsplashes in the kitchen further develop the desired Zen aesthetic. A wall to wall window above the sunken bath/shower creates a connection to the outdoors. Privacy is provided through the use of switchable glass, which goes from opaque to clear with a flick of a switch. We used in-floor heating to eliminate the noise associated with forced-air systems.

We Feng Shui'ed and designed this 8 unit Furnished Corporate Rental in San Jose, CA. With respect to Feng Shui, all the colors we used are pumping up specific areas for the owner as well as the guests.

A new concrete foundation was built under the house and the house was leveled and the under structure was re-framed and seismically retrofitted. The siding was connected to the foundation with a cedar band trim. The roof eaves were re-built and fascia was added. The tile roof edge was water proofed. Drains were added around the home, rot was repaired, decks were repaired, and the deck parapet wall was replaced.
