Where collaboration and craft converge, a luminous contemporary home near San Francisco emerges.
This new residence is the result of a deeply collaborative design process between client, architect, interior designer, and builder – a team unified by a shared commitment to craft and precision. Set on a site carefully selected for its ideal solar orientation, the home’s layout balances humility and elegance: a single-story street presence conceals a more private two-story wing that opens to garden views. The design evolved through thoughtful iterations, each element studied and refined, from the sculptural plaster stair handcrafted on site to the interplay between light, material, and landscape. Long white Roman bricks and custom stucco ground the home in its Northern California setting, while Venetian plaster and oak inlays create a tactile, luminous interior that shifts with the seasons. Designed to support both intimate family life and larger public gatherings, the home reflects a thoughtful approach to luxury residential architecture in the San Francisco Bay Area: site-responsive, craft-driven, and built to endure.

This is a Dolby Atmos 7.2.4 Home Theater room consisting of Key Ultimate Home Theater Speakers which are all THX certified. All of the speakers are hidden behind all the custom made wall treatments that surround all the wood working. The Screen Innovations Black Diamond Film Screen is 144" diagonal and is setup with 2:35:1 to accommodate true widescreen. The screen has LED back lighting for added ambience. The video projector is being done by a Kef Laser projector so no bulbs to replace. The signal processing for both video and audio is by an Integra Processor and all the speakers are being driven off Parasound Halo series amplifiers. The seating was custom made by United Leather seating. The original chair the client liked was from another manufacture that no longer sold seating so we shipped it to them and they custom built them but with their standards. All control is from Control 4 to include A/V, Lighting and HVAC integration for the theater.

This heart-forward project reimagined dark, dated communal spaces within an assisted living facility into warm, elevated environments that feel like a beautiful home. The goal was to inspire residents to leave their rooms, connect more often, and engage meaningfully with one another—enhancing daily life in tangible, human ways.
Through crisp white finishes, layered dimmable 3000K lighting, and thoughtfully selected, durable furnishings, each space was designed for comfort, accessibility, textile interest and visual delight. Rich textures, Montana-inspired black and white photographic artwork, greenery, and purpose-driven zones—from a salon, bird-watching nook to gaming and family gathering areas—created a cohesive, welcoming atmosphere. The transformation sparked remarkable change: residents began gathering, laughing, sharing meals, and forming friendships, while families lingered longer and staff felt renewed pride. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the renewal of this cottage and to play a small part in bringing new life to its spaces.

This custom-designed home, secluded on 6 acres of woods and a pond, was constructed in 1986 and is demonstrative of the challenges of remodeling custom design homes. While the initial design worked for the original empty nesters, the new owner found aspects of the custom design deficient for their young family, best exemplified by the fact the kitchen was extremely small and did not have an oven.
An interesting aspect of the original design was that it had a strong geometric form, in floor plan, that created interesting spaces for the original owner but introduced challenges in accommodating our client’s program. The original plan had triangular indentions and projections beyond a rectilinear footprint.
To accommodate the owner’s program, we infilled one projection to encompass a fireplace and home stereo cabinets and removed an indentation to create more room for an expanded kitchen. The existing sunken living room floor was two steps down from the kitchen/dining area. We raised this floor flush with the other spaces to create a continuity of space. This allowed for more options in function and furnishings.
The modern expression of the remodel was driven by our client’s passion for modern design, and it further enhanced the original design expression, staying respectful and true to the original design.
Albers Design constructed the second phase of this project using our proprietary CMA Advantage™ construction delivery method
