## Selected projects

- [Carmel Mid-Century LEED](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carmel-mid-century-leed-pj-vj~101519)
  - Location: Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA
  - Photos: 18
  - Description: Like many residences of the mid-century era this home has great flow and well-proportioned volumes, but was in need of an extra bedroom as well as a new kitchen and bathrooms. In addition, our goal was to modernize the outdated house technology resulting in a highly efficient home with supplemental photovoltaic power generation. We are proud to have completed the first LEED-certified home in Carmel-by-the-Sea, reaching the highest level: Platinum.
- [Coastlands House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastlands-house-pj-vj~102761)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 14
  - Description: Majestic oaks dominate this north to south sloping site at the edge of the continent, the vast expanse of the Pacific lying to the West. A massive stone base connects the structure to the uphill slope, contrasting with the lighter steel and glass elements of the home. The large glass stacking sliders open to the patios beyond - providing great cross ventilation and a seamless connection to the outdoors. Most of the finish materials are reclaimed and the 4.4kW photovoltaic system was designed to…
- [Dani Ridge House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dani-ridge-house-pj-vj~102780)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: In order to conceal this home from its uphill neighbors a shelf was cut into the narrow slice of grassland located between an access road on one side and the steep slopes of the West Coast on the other. The uphill land extends as a green roof over the underground portions of the home-terminating on the gently curved roof of the living room. All utilities, including the 5000 gallon water storage tank, were placed underground in order to preserve the surrounding landscape.
- [Ranch Updated](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ranch-updated-pj-vj~391412)
  - Location: Sacramento, CA
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: This unassuming classic ranch style house located amongst a mature stand of redwoods got a facelift with new cedar siding and a new front door. On the inside a clean and neutral white was chosen as a wall color throughout to counteract the shady location, the heaviness of the existing, beautifully worn ceramic tile floor and the very dominant rustic fireplace. The colors of the furnishings and fabrics are informal and playful, with a magnificent centerpiece – a console hand painted for the 1956…
- [One Rincon Hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/one-rincon-hill-pj-vj~391469)
  - Location: San Francisco, CA
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: The world class photography collection stands at the center of this high rise interior. A warm grey throughout was chosen as a background for the art, at the same time cutting the harsh light on a sunny day and providing comfort during foggy mornings. The fabrics were selected from a soft palette, underscoring the comfortable unpretentiousness of the space.
- [Big Sur Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/big-sur-cabin-pj-vj~391579)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Description: This cabin has had many lives, first owned by its designer-builder Kipp Stewart and later by Phillip Johnson and David Whitney, for whom Mattia Bonetti designed the living room. Honoring this prominent history we made very few careful interventions to update the lighting, the kitchen and the bathroom. An earth tone palette and mostly simple linens were chosen for a comfortable, informal interior. A complimentary mix of the clients stunning art, mid-century accent pieces and local ceramics make f…
- [Spindrift](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spindrift-pj-vj~102787)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: Three rectangular volumes with traditional hipped roofs were placed between a mature stand of cypress and a picturesque cove. The odd angle of the void between the main building blocks forms the two story floor-to-ceiling glass entry, leading to the more public areas of the home on one side and a private master suite on the south side. The careful siting takes advantage of the variety of available views as well as the topography of the land. As a result, sunlight is captured in different rooms t…
- [Lobos Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lobos-ridge-pj-vj~102800)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: Two simple shed-roofed wings were placed parallel to the curving hillside, creating an open courtyard. From there one enjoys spectacular views of the Carmel Bay to the north. Responding to the challenge of south (and its desired solar gain in this climate) being on the opposite side of the treasured views, a second courtyard on the sheltered, uphill side was cut into the slope. The continuous stone flooring and a series of French doors make for a fluent indoor/outdoor experience.
- [Scenic Avenue 3](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scenic-avenue-3-pj-vj~102626)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: Soothing colors, simple fabrics and basic shapes dominate this beach house in Carmel. Every square inch was efficiently used to fit new cherry and maple bathing and dressing areas. Many custom features, like the ceramic pedestals in the master bath or the leather handles on the kitchen cabinets were produced by local artists.
- [Rocky Point House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rocky-point-house-pj-vj~102814)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: Located close to an ocean front bluff, this home takes advantage of the existing natural shelf to showcase a low profile one story entry side and a dramatic two story exposure towards the ocean side. By arranging the pie shaped volumes along a curved axis each room of the house has spectacular (and unique) white water views. The varied roof heights and clerestory windows allow the morning sun to flood the upper west facing spaces.
- [Big Sur Barn](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/big-sur-barn-pj-vj~2028871)
  - Location: Not specified
- [Pebble Beach Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pebble-beach-cottage-pj-vj~1723347)
  - Location: Pebble Beach, CA
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: This existing small Pebble Beach Cottage was in need of a face lift. Our clients wanted to brighten the interiors and open it up to the views to the golf course. Walls were taken out to create a great room with an open kitchen and light and reflective materials were chosen to brighten the rooms in this often foggy environment. Wherever structurally possible we created ceiling coffers for new decorative lighting and mirrors on most of the millwork help expand the small rooms and reflect light. Th…
