Rustic and refined meet to give a mountaintop home in Portola Valley, California, classic charm. They say the best things in life come to those who wait. So when a Bay Area couple purchased a rare set of adjoining lots overlooking Windy Hill in Portola Valley, they made frequent visits to the site where they absorbed the views while listening to the land as they contemplated building a home there. The intent: to create a home that would celebrate the scenic beauty of the San Mateo County region. Long before the design process began, the couple committed themselves to preserving as many trees on the land as possible. These trees, two majestic, centuries-old Blue Oaks in particular, ultimately became the impetus for the home’s orientation and the inspiration for its design. Detailed discussions and brainstorming sessions led the owners to discover their own unique tastes: “cozy” and “rustic“ while “contemporary, but not minimal.” The result? Sophisticated style comprised of simple, honest materials.

For this project, builder Bonny Weil General Contractor, lifted the upper roof, rebuilt the front entry replacing all the windows and doors, the siding, fascia, roofing, gutters and downspouts, as well as rebuilding three decks in the home. Our clients wanted a low maintenance exterior, that looked like wood, and Nichiha Fiber Cement Shakes provide just that. The fiber cement siding by Nichiha will never need to be stained, will not weather or fade, and is not flammable. Nichiha Sierra Premium Shakes are a full half inch thick - the thickest fiber cement shake available. In addition, all Nichiha products are sustainable, comprised primarily of fly ash and FSC wood pulp. Bonny Weil General Contractor has been servicing the San Francisco - Bay Area for over 30 years, starting her company in 2004. See more work from Bonny Weil General Contractor here!

Livius and Andrea's existing property was a part of a large subdivision with several identical cookie-cutter homes built in the 1960s, and they were looking to do either a massive overhaul or a new build. Given that the existing home was situated quite well on the property it was decided to approach the new design as a significant structural remodel and addition. A huge vaulted ceiling in the new great room leads the eye up towards a large storage loft with an array of clerestory windows. Two walls of the great room are comprised of sliding pocket doors that will hide away creating an incredible sense of opening and connection to the outdoor deck that connects to the new art studio. The newly expanded master suite is quite special in that it has the rare condition of being naturally lit by windows on all 4 sides of the room. Livius and Andrea both wanted to work from home without interrupting each other and this was achieved thru a home office at the front of the main home, and a new detached art studio at the back, opposite the expanded master suite.

A traditional stacked stone fireplace was replaced with a drystack rock fireplace comprised of ebony and gray rocks that were cut in half and applied with the round, rather than flat, side facing out.

Designed by Closet Factory Houston, this ‘work’ garage includes black and white race deck flooring, Omni track, a one 2-post vehicle lift to raise the car and be able to work underneath of it. The extended work bench, comprised of grey/black melamine with high gloss blue accents and aluminum extruded handles provide plenty of convenient storage.

Diagonal Trex decking is used here in a narrow side yard to give the appearance of greater width to the space. A water feature comprising a recirculating water pump from Asian Decor, is backed by naturalistic bamboo to add to the zen ambiance of the deck / patio.

We created a contemporary design with a new custom architecture bed feature. This is comprised of a dark finish with two wall sconces and LED lighting integrated into the millwork. New art on two walls adds a splash of color to the room. New window shades provide privacy yet allows soft light to enter the room. Using masculine tones, we were able to achieve a clean transitional design concept. We selected a light wall color to make the room feel warm and airy. Accessories were placed strategically in all of the spaces.

This baronial estate, once a trophy of successful American frontier family and railroads industry publisher, Henry Varnum Poor, founder of Standard & Poor’s Corp., is comprised of a grand main house, caretaker’s house, and several barns.

Casa A137 is harmoniously nestled on a property that borders the spring forest to the south and west, with a gentle 14m drop from its highest point. This natural topography was not a challenge but an inspiration for our architecture, guiding us to open the views towards the forest and blend seamlessly with the terrain. The project gracefully ascends from street level, ensuring the ground floor merges with the rear garden level while the upper floor offers unobstructed views of the natural landscape. We used stone materials and steel to create a sober and simple appearance for the residence. Apparent concrete has an important role in all exterior and interior areas; in the same way, the green areas visually accompany each space. The house’s gardens go hand in hand with the architecture. Several interior areas were designed to integrate vegetation, which accompanies the exterior, where the landscaped spaces that complement the facade and the side corridors are projected. For our clients, social areas were very important, especially the terrace. An important project area is destined for an outdoor terrace overlooking the forest. It comprises a kitchen area with a bar and a space for living and dining. The warmth of a fire pit accompanies it.

Photo by Mike Force. Designed by Kinney & Associates. Built by Waldrop Builders. Dusty Waldrop of Waldrop Builders engaged Kinney & Associates to design a semi-modern 4000-square foot speculative reside-nce that is in the Verano neighborhood of Barton Creek. The program included three bedrooms in the main house (one doubling as an office) each with their own bathrooms, a Living Room, and a Family Room adjacent the Kitchen, as well as Dining Rooms. The developer also wanted a separate Guest Quarters located adjacent an Outdoor Living area and the pool. One design feature of the residence was the custom-cut limestone facade comprised of large 24" x 12" precisely cut stones arranged in a running bond pattern. This gives the facade a very modern yet warm feel. The other exterior materials chosen for the house were wood and stucco, which complement the stone dramatically.
