While we were working on a concurrent affordable housing project in Belmont, the Town asked us to help with the design of this Habitat for Humanity house that was drawing a lot of controversy. Zoning at this property was such that Habitat had to build a single family house, yet they had limitations as to how big of a unit they could build based on their policies. Our challenge was to design a house that the neighbors would accept, that seemed bigger than it was and that would be a useful space for the occupants. We took our design cues from the nearby houses, and increased the bulk by adding a front porch. This porch also helps to mask the fact that the building is slab on grade, which is not typical of the neighborhood (first floor elevations are typically 2" to 3' above grade).

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! ?

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.

California Spanish kitchen featuring warm wood cabinetry, dark countertops, and a decorative tile backsplash that adds handcrafted character and timeless appeal. A generous island anchors the space with brass pendant lights overhead, cozy counter stools, and thoughtfully styled details including pottery, greenery, and curated kitchen accessories. Rich textures, natural materials, and warm finishes create an inviting gathering space designed for everyday living and connection. Designed by Jubilee Interiors.

The original kitchen design had a u-shape peninsula with a refrigerator that created a pinch point between the outdated countertop positioned next to the fridge, and the peninsula. Furthermore, because this home has both a dinette and a dining room, the overhanging peninsula was an unused feature. While it would have been possible and acceptable for us to keep the same footprint and install another peninsula design, it was time to remodel this 1990s kitchen into the year 2020. Because the clients are committed to using their dinette table, the solution was to replace the peninsula with an island of just the right size that brings them closer yet provides easily accessible storage. The island offers the necessary workspace and convenience between the sink, range, and refrigerator.

The "Fireplace Remodel" is based on the farmhouse style. With matching custom storage bench's on each side made from knotty pine T&G boards, trimmed with a hand carved chair rail molding. The custom fireplace surround, and floating shelves built from pine are all carefully hand sanded then prepped to accept a custom combination of stain, finished with 3 coats of polyurethane for long lasting durability.

The wood heat cognoscenti immediately recognize Solution 2.9 as the top of the line in wood heating devices. The steel top alone - at 3/8 of an inch thick - says volumes about the design! The firebox is oriented front-to-back to accept logs up to 19'' long. The secondary air supply is balanced front, top and back using a clever system of pilots strategically placed in the firebox. The result is simple, effective and incredibly clean heat. Despite its large size, Solution 2.9 produces average particulate emissions of 4.4 g/h. In other words, demanding users choose Solution 2.9 for style and high performance...for life!
