This classic 1970's rambler was purchased by our clients as their 'forever' retirement home and as a gathering place for their large, extended family. Situated on a large, verdant lot, the house was burdened with extremely dated finishes and poorly conceived spaces. These flaws were more than offset by the overwhelming advantages of a single level plan and spectacular sunset views. Weighing their options, our clients executed their purchase fully intending to hire us to immediately remodel this structure for them. Our first task was to open up this plan and give the house a fresh, contemporary look that emphasizes views toward Lake Washington and the Olympic Mountains in the distance. Our initial response was to recreate our favorite Great Room plan. This started with the elimination of a large, masonry fireplace awkwardly located in the middle of the plan and to then tear out all the walls. We then flipped the Kitchen and Dining Room and inserted a walk-in pantry between the Garage and new Kitchen location. While our clients' initial intention was to execute a simple Kitchen remodel, the project scope grew during the design phase. We convinced them that the original ill-conceived entry needed a make-over as well as both bathrooms on the main level. Now, instead of an entry sequence that looks like an afterthought, there is a formal court on axis with an entry art wall that arrests views before moving into the heart of the plan. The master suite was updated by sliding the wall between the bedroom and Great Room into the family area and then placing closets along this wall - in essence, using these closets as an acoustical buffer between the Master Suite and the Great Room. Moving these closets then freed up space for a 5-piece master bath, a more efficient hall bath and a stacking washer/dryer in a closet at the top of the stairs.

The client came to us looking to update their kitchen and kitchenette in order to match recent changes made to the rest of their 1905 Cow Hollow home. Their goal? Build a space that was impressive and grand. We chose classic luxury cues—golds and marbles—for the two kitchens and consulted on colors, light fixtures, and furniture throughout the rest of their home to marry the various spaces. In the main kitchen, we created a focal point using a faux marble Calacatta Neolith bookmatch backsplash, an impactful piece that created that arresting effect the client sought at half the cost of real marble. We paired that with simple, understated but rich accessories, like a sleek and simple oven hood that wouldn’t obstruct the backsplash and glossy, sterling grey cabinets with polished nickel accents. For a final touch of flair, we hung two ochre NYC 3-Tier Pear Chandeliers. Together, these pieces cemented the look. High-Chic. Simple. Modern. Iconic.

This is an example of a landscaping in San Luis Obispo.

This extensive remodel overlooking Lake Austin is a paean to the powerful art it enfolds. Rigorous editing of every distracting, inconsequential element of the original house was critical. So too was the insertion of new complementary components that provide artful ways to move through both interior and exterior rooms. The collection of modern art is arresting. Ranging from a Turrell hologram to a pair of Agnes Martins, the art is framed by the architecture and lighting so that it is experienced in a choreographed, curated way that encourages wandering and an intimate connection to each piece. The mood is set in the entry courtyard. A floating walkway curves down and around a brilliant spiraling blue Clement sculpture. It pauses once, at a moment of surprise, when the first view through the house is filled with the blue water of the lake beyond. Inside, the saturated color of many of the pieces of art are balanced by an absence of other visual clutter in the color palette, furniture, and architecture. A new interior plaster, steel, and bronze stair carves through a space occupied by two small Clement sculptures in niches, a McKay Otto sculpture on a landing and a glass cylinder elevator. This is a very specific place, designed for specific art and for a collector who has a close relationship with each piece.

Bask in the serene embrace of a space that harmoniously melds contemporary design with timeless artistry. The arresting terracotta sculpture, capturing the essence of human form, stands as a focal point against a backdrop of rich metal panels, dappled in the play of light and shadow. Every detail, from the angular sunbeam to the subtle interior elements, evokes a sense of calm sophistication, beckoning one to pause and reflect.

Rainforest Green marble enchants with its unique colors and patterns. Quarried in India, this beautiful natural stone flaunts a deep green surface adorned with deep brown streaks that resemble tree branches.
