## About

### Houzz Badges

- Houzz Influencer
- 10,000 Ideabook Saves

We have been crafting exceptional architecture throughout California since 1989.

We are dedicated to the creation of unique, dynamic architecture born of the needs, desires, and aesthetic preferences of the client and influences of the project’s environment. The utmost care is taken in listening to the client and maintaining an exciting and efficient communication of ideas.

We are not devoted to any particular style, rather each project is treated as the unique design problem that it is. We are equally comfortable and experienced with both traditional and modernist design principles and forms.

## Community Q&A

**Q: size of vegetable rack?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you share the dimensions and link where to purchase this vegetable rack

A: I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. We did this project 20 years ago. However, any good cabinetmaker can direct you to suppliers of such accessories.

**Q: hi,beautiful project, I realized watches, can I propose to the next?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Very good. Thank you for reaching out and informing us about your work. I hope we can do something together in the future.

**Q: New kitchen** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the name of this insert for mixer and toaster?

A: I'm sorry, I don't know the answer. This project was done 10 years ago. There are dozens of manufacturers that make such items for cabinetry, however. Do a Google search on "kitchen cabinet inserts", etc. and you will find a plethora of manufacturers and styles.

**Q: What is the backsplash material** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am having trouble picking out a backsplash and I have dark countertops with light wood and like the look of your backsplash but can not tell what it is.

A: Thank you. The splash is the same material as the countertops and upper cabinet crowns--polished Absolute Black granite.

**Q: Tub info** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the tub made of? Is it handmade? If not, where does one get one?

A: This is an ofuro--a Japanese soaking tub. The Japanese typically make them from Hinoki wood. The US equivalent is Port Orford Cedar, from which this tub was made. I'm sorry, I don't recall the manufacturer of this tub, as the project was completed 10 years ago, but you can search on the web and find many sources.

**Q: Where did you get the lavatory base?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where did you get the lavatory base and at what cost?

A: It was custom fabricated by a local cabinetmaker. I do no know the final cost.
