### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — John Leighton, Sept. 2024**

> Outstanding design team.  They were very thorough and thoughtful.  We had a challenging space planning issue and they came up with a great design and helped us find the right furnishings and materials (slabs, hardware, fixtures, etc.) for our residential renovation.  Damon and Julie Savoia are very skilled and find a way to solve all problems.  Highly recommended.

- [Rock Paper Scissors Healdsburg, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rock-paper-scissors-healdsburg-ca-pj-vj~7374017)
  - Location: Healdsburg, CA

- [Sun Valley Mountain Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sun-valley-mountain-modern-pj-vj~308860)
  - Location: Sun Valley, ID
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: A modern take on the barn vernacular, the home sits in a valley and acts both as architectural reference to the landscape and a haven within it. The interior textiles pull in the colors from the surrounding landscape in a muted palette subtly deferential to the original; sitting in the monumental expanse of the main living area, this reads as almost an interior replication of the fields and hills surrounding. Still, the home is anchored by the rich darkness of the cabinetry, ceiling, and window…
- [The Zin House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-zin-house-pj-vj~6144035)
  - Location: St. Helena, CA
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: The home is a rich layering of textures; the sleek plaster walls of the house are striking against the lush green setting of a Napa vineyard. Clean and modern, the home is given a warmth and depth by a material palette that starts by pairing concrete, still holding in its texture the character of the forms that made it, with soft upholstery and bright pops of color. A tight-grain wood maintains the simplicity of the palette while inviting in more complex warmth and depth, and allowing the more r…
- [Silicon Valley Family Compound](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/silicon-valley-family-compound-pj-vj~305332)
  - Location: Woodside, CA
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: Set against California’s rolling green hills, the home offers a classic example of seamless indoor/ outdoor California living. The interior textiles and architectural materials play off the tones, scale, and textures of each other, creating a particularly potent moment at the threshold of the home. The living areas on that first floor seem to have only the faintest delineation between interior and exterior as the stone used on the facade is brought inside, and notably used at the same scale. Car…
- [Tahoe Lakeside Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tahoe-lakeside-retreat-pj-vj~308816)
  - Location: Lake Tahoe, CA
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: A rustic second home right on the lake with views for miles.
- [Alpha Omega Collective Tasting Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/alpha-omega-collective-tasting-room-pj-vj~7374012)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: Shawback Design was asked to reimagine the downtown Napa tasting room for The Alpha Omega Collective. Their tasting room showcases Bordeaux-inspired releases from Alpha Omega in Napa Valley, Burgundian varietals Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Tolosa on the San Luis Obispo Coast, and Mediterranean reds from Perinet in Spain’s Priorat.
- [Silverado Country Club Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/silverado-country-club-home-pj-vj~1302040)
  - Location: Napa, CA
  - Photos: 16
  - Description: Shawback calls it the “bubble gate”; designed in house and fabricated with a local metal worker, the entrance to the home allows light to sprinkle into the side yard, creating an effervescent moment at the threshold. This same lightness permeates the project, a small-scale renovation with a clean, bright palette made rich through a playful deployment of color and a nuanced array of textiles and materials. Even when pulling from the same material palette, as in the use of wood throughout the home…
- [Jackson Hole Hideway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jackson-hole-hideway-pj-vj~6144322)
  - Location: Jackson, WY
  - Photos: 16
  - Description: Shawback Design traveled back and forth from Jackson Hole to Napa for a year for this project, taking lead on everything from the floor plans, lighting, plumbing, to construction oversight. On a short timeline and small budget, the renovation transformed the home into something completely new— a careful balance between an unlikely pair: sleek, modern design and warm, rustic detailing. The spacious, modern floor plan is grounded by several varieties of wood, each richly dyed and heavily textured,…
- [Ranch House Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ranch-house-remodel-pj-vj~2527269)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 14
  - Description: Our comprehensive interior remodel thoroughly refreshed this 4,160-square foot ranch house. In collaboration with Shawback Design of Napa, California, we reconfigured walls, doorways, and ceilings to improve circulation, functionality, and aesthetics. Among many other improvements we replaced primary doors with custom reclaimed barnwood doors built in our shop, installed custom vanities built with material salvaged on the property, laid down engineered reclaimed oak flooring, and replaced the st…
