The Sonoma Farmhaus project was designed for a cycling enthusiast with a globally demanding professional career, who wanted to create a place that could serve as both a retreat of solitude and a hub for gathering with friends and family. Located within the town of Graton, California, the site was chosen not only to be close to a small town and its community, but also to be within cycling distance to the picturesque, coastal Sonoma County landscape. Taking the traditional forms of farmhouse, and their notions of sustenance and community, as inspiration, the project comprises an assemblage of two forms - a Main House and a Guest House with Bike Barn - joined in the middle by a central outdoor gathering space anchored by a fireplace. The vision was to create something consciously restrained and one with the ground on which it stands. Simplicity, clear detailing, and an innate understanding of how things go together were all central themes behind the design. Solid walls of rammed earth blocks, fabricated from soils excavated from the site, bookend each of the structures. According to the owner, the use of simple, yet rich materials and textures...“provides a humanness I’ve not known or felt in any living venue I’ve stayed, Farmhaus is an icon of sustenance for me".

This rental condo needed an update and refresh after the tenants’ style and needs evolved. The young professional couple had been living in the space for almost ten years and had gone through a series of career and lifestyle changes, including the arrival of their first child. By taking full advantage of vertical space and clever multi-purpose storage, this 650 sq.ft., 1 bedroom-plus-den condo now includes a large pantry (complete with freezer), space for a home office, lots of storage, and a fully functioning nursery - all without taking away from the comfy and stylish principal bedroom or main living space.

Designed for clients with highly demanding careers, Suite Retreat offers a tranquil bedroom experience reminiscent of a five-star hotel. We established a soft color palette of cream, grey, and blue to create a serene ambiance. To accommodate an unconventional room layout, we crafted a custom king-size bed with an integrated headboard and built-in nightstands. We layered in a luxe rug, shagreen dressers, exquisite art, and custom window treatments, all coming together to create a sophisticated and inviting retreat for relaxation at the end of the day.

Upon ending a 20 year career at CitiBank, Bill began a new chapter in his life. After Mila’s passing and while still working for CitiBank, Bill devoted his spare time to BKC, overseeing and managing its daily business activities. As the business grew and the need for his time at BKC grew, Bill became a fulltime member of the BKC team to manage and support the growth of the business. Today, he believes that he’s found a new sense of purpose, working for a company where the finished product receives such an enthusiastic response from its customers.

In a vast natural landscape, the formal design of intentionally landscaped beds often jars, visually. This Client came from Lake Forest, Illinois, the land of gentrified old world landscapes. Here in the Rockies, she left behind her corporate career to immerse herself in horses, art and a new life lived in connection with family and Nature. She wanted a simple landscape that spoke to these new desires. For this project, we crafted opportunities for Nature to weave its way back into the landscape. The circle drive is the first whiff of this. Designed around a gnarled cedar, the spirit of this entire ranch, we simplified the plant palette, bringing in native and regionally adapted grasses and wildflowers. And that's it! These colors burn against the silvers and tawny browns of Missouri Heights! Gigi
