Example of a large transitional medium tone wood floor and brown floor front door design in San Francisco with white walls and a black front door

Wider-angle view to show setting. The arrangement of art on the wall to the right was one of the starting points for the design. A second was the difficulty of filling the alcove with full-width shelves without creating a dark corner of solid books and wood. Worth noting that the installation has almost 40 linear feet of shelving, so even with the white space it can hold a lot of books!

This project, sitting on a little more than 3.5 acres on Rivercrest was completed in 3 years with a total square footage of more than 26,000 square feet. Typically modern homes are smaller. At a certain size, usually around 4,000 square feet, the difficulty with modern or contemporary architecture becomes scale, and the minimalist idea gets lost. Whenever you get to this scale of house at over 26,000 square feet, this problem adds a layer of complexity. Connie Anderson Photography

When I first saw this site, I noticed a low stone wall bisected the property, providing no access to the yard and garden from the house. The garden could be gazed upon from a spacious and beautiful upper porch, but visited only with difficulty. A stone path and steps were created and an herb garden installed for garden immersion: now the garden is not merely seen but visited and used.

Renovisions recently remodeled a first-floor bath for this South Shore couple. They needed a better solution to their existing, outdated fiberglass shower stall and had difficulty squatting to enter the shower. As bathroom designers, we realize that a neo-angle shower is a simple and minimalistic design option where space is a premium. The clipped corner creates an angled opening that allows easy access to the shower between other fixtures in the bathroom. This new shower has a curb using a combination of glass and tile for the walls. Taking advantage of every possible inch for the shower made an enormous difference in comfort while showering. A traditional shower head along with a multi-function hand-held shower head and a shampoo niche both save space and provide a relaxing showering experience. The custom 3/8″ thick glass shower enclosure with mitered corners provides a clean and seamless appearance. The vanity’s bead-board design in sage green compliments the unique veining and hues in the quartz countertop. Overall, the clients were ecstatic with their newly transformed bathroom and are eager to share it with friends and family. One friend in fact, exclaimed that the bathroom resembled one she had seen in a five star resort!
