Hired by the owners to provide interior design services for a complete remodel of a mid-century home in Berkeley Hills, California this family of four’s wishes were to create a home that was inviting, playful, comfortable and modern. Slated with a quirky floor plan that needed a rational design solution we worked extensively with the homeowners to provide interior selections for all finishes, cabinet designs, redesign of the fireplace and custom media cabinet, headboard and platform bed. Hues of walnut, white, gray, blues and citrine yellow were selected to bring an overall inviting and playful modern palette. Regan Baker Design was responsible for construction documents and assited with construction administration to help ensure the designs were well executed. Styling and new furniture was paired to compliment a few existing key pieces, including a commissioned piece of art, side board, dining table, console desk, and of course the breathtaking view of San Francisco's Bay.

Inspiration for a transitional bathroom remodel in Boise

This wonderful brown shingle Berkeley house was completely renovated. We allowed the exterior to remain discreet, at the request of the owners, by replacing the shingle siding, repairing all the windows and replacing the roof. The inside, on the other hand, gradually saw a radical transformation, with a back to bones start, a rework of the flow and room functions as well as a rediscovered link to the garden in the back. One essential feature of the rework, is a series of folding doors and windows that open the house up completely to the outdoors. In addition to the house, a tea house was brought back to life with its transformation into a Spa/guest room, together with a new concrete custom pool/Jacuzzi to replace an old acrylic one. The front and back yards will also witness a complete landscape rebirth, with the inclusion of fruit trees, in addition to an existing fig tree, a fish pond, new terracing and the careful planting of large granite boulders that will serve as bird baths and additional seating. An existing fence will be lined with Stainless steel cables to receive honeysuckle and espalier vines to adorn the garden with a mix of intoxicating aromas.
