In the laundry room, we removed a wing wall and exchanged the hinged door for a pocket door, alleviating congestion and making the space feel much more open. New cabinets were installed for plenty of storage, and a countertop beside the dryer is the perfect landing space for folding clothes or resting a laundry basket.

Hedges of Catalina Cherry, a shrub that thrives in Pasadena's hot, dry summers lines the left side of this patio. Its (edible!) cherries draw birds in autumn, while its blooms do the same in spring. It makes a great exchange for an all too ubiquitous ficus hedge.

A flexible cultural and learning center in San Francisco that supports language education, cultural programming, and community engagement. The design transforms a former gallery into an adaptable “third place” for gathering, learning, and exchange.

Rather than starting with an outcome in mind, this 1,400 square foot residence began from a polemic place - exploring shared conviction regarding the concentrated power of living with a smaller footprint. From the gabled silhouette to passive ventilation, the home captures the nostalgia for the past with the sustainable practices of the future. While the exterior materials contrast a calm, minimal palette with the sleek lines of the gabled silhouette, the interior spaces embody a playful, artistic spirit. From the hand painted De Gournay wallpaper in the master bath to the rugged texture of the over-grouted limestone and Portuguese cobblestones, the home is an experience that encapsulates the unexpected and the timeless.
