This modest backyard in the San Francisco Marina District was re-designed for entertaining with a glass and travertine tiled wall fountain, firepit with tumbled glass, and built in BBQ. The terra cotta tile and stucco color create warmth to counteract the often chilly breezes that come off the San Francisco Bay. Tile inlays in the stucco pillars add a Mediterranean detail while the tropical plantings create a private oasis. Photo: Diane Hayford

This renovation was inspired by the owner's love of color, and by the 1940s vintage of the cottage--specifically, the colors of classic American dishware of that era, such as Fiesta and Jadeite. In the new space, handmade coral tile and green cabinets provide a splash of tropical color to help counteract the gray Pacific Northwest climate outside. A fresh green tile fireplace surround unifies the living and dining spaces. Photos: Anna M Campbell

Color and curves are two major themes in this vibrant guest bedroom, formerly occupied by one of our clients' daughters. We custom designed the sweeping head and foot boards of the bed to give it contemporary flair, and we chose a bright blue and chartreuse color palette for pizzazz. The curves continue in the chrome light fixtures with crystal accents, installed in the niches on either side of the mirror. And to counteract the dramatic slope of the shed ceiling, we designed custom cornice boxes for the window panels to add height and draw eyes upward. Photo by Larry Malvin

This home doesn’t just look great - it’s actually a NET ZERO READY HOME. What does that mean? Well, net zero ready homes are built to be extremely energy efficient. Meaning it’s sealed well, it’s easy to heat and keep cool, it’s air tight, and features water saving systems and energy efficient appliances. Those big windows are an incredible feature, but posed a bit of a challenge. In the winter, they’re great, and will provide lots of solar gain. But in the summer that will put pressure on the A/C - so to counteract that, the OakWood team increased the amount of insulation behind the walls, increased the airtightness of the home AND installed triple pane windows with blinds to keep the solar gain out during the summer.
