Our mission was to gift Bellevue with classic, natural and timeless style while setting it up with impressive functionality so that it was ready to be an entertaining-friendly home they needed it to be. Mission accepted! Our clients’ vision was clear: They wanted the focal point of every space to be the view of Oakland while making it cozy and infusing the space with color. We carefully selected a neutral color palette and balanced it with pops of color, unique greenery and personal touches to bring our clients’ vision of a stylish modern and casual vibes to life.

The owners of this contemporary home in Canterwood wanted to reconfigure their large living room/great room into 2 separate living spaces, yet maintain the home’s high visual impact. Working with a contractor, Karin designed an art wall to separate the 2 areas that would accept a large framed piece of art on the living room side and create a focal point on the great room side using creative spaces for selected three-dimensional art pieces. The wall incorporates open spaces that allow each side to be viewed from the other and still create distinct spaces. The project also included the selection of lighting pendants and built-in down-lighting to feature the art pieces. The stunning result appears as if the home was originally constructed in this manner.

Long before the riparian-loving, drought tolerant California native foliage established itself, this rain garden worked to keep stormwater onsite. It takes quite a bit of technology to do so. The bioswale accepts water from the back and front gardens as well as the roof of the home via drains, an underground vessel, and a sump-pump. It can absorb this level of water in a matter of minutes. Because the soil in this area tends toward clay, another drain helps manage possible overflow. Photo: Steve Matloff, 2018

We are SO proud of how this bathroom turned out. ? This client wanted to totally transform her kids' bathroom (before her own, no less -- what a good mom! ?), and we were able to do so for much less than she was thinking. And we had to make sure that it was gender neutral, as it was boy and girl siblings sharing it. Challenge accepted!! ???? Now, the kids have an updated and much more modern space that will last them for years! ?

Challenge: Make a tilted, trapezoidal backyard work Solved: No easy challenge, this property perches atop an 18-foot (yes foot) retaining wall with a grade falling away at 18” of slope per 12’. The tilted landscape seemed hell-bent on flooding the back yard. So… engineering challenge accepted! From the iridescent glass tile and volcanic basalt stone verticals of the spa, negative edge wall, and coping—to the smart-phone-controlled LED lighting and bespoke, California-crafted fire pit—we think we met the challenge! Beautifully, in fact. What a magical setting this family now enjoys.
