We opened the original floor plan by removing walls, adding an addition off the back including a kitchen/dinette, family room, and mud room. Above that, a beautiful master suite was added. There was intentional focus on keeping the original story-and-a-half look to fit the neighborhood while updating the architecture to fit curb appeal.

Garden 16 in Manhattan Beach

This carefully guided renovation brought cohesion and clarity, blending timeless detail with modern functionality for a home that feels refreshed, intentional, and enduring. A jewel-box powder room with a deep blue vanity, brass fixtures, and indigo wallpaper patterned with birds and berries, layered with a bronze mirror and globe sconces for timeless charm.

From curated fixtures and ornate details to soft textures and timeless materials, every inch of the room was intentionally designed to celebrate its sweet, nostalgic energy while still offering modern performance. The result is a one-of-a-kind Victorian powder room that feels whimsical, elevated, and full of personality—proof that no detail is ever spared, no matter the square footage.

This dining room is defined by symmetry, scale, and light. Centered beneath a sculptural chandelier, the table anchors the space while tall windows and doors frame views to the covered outdoor living areas beyond. The result is a room that feels intentional and composed without feeling formal. Exposed beams overhead add architectural weight and warmth, while the open connections to adjacent living spaces keep the room feeling integrated into the home as a whole. The proportions comfortably support both everyday meals and larger gatherings, allowing the space to flex with the homeowners’ needs. Designed with durability and longevity in mind, this dining room reflects a thoughtful balance of craftsmanship and livability — a space meant to be used often and enjoyed over time.

It'd be easy to make this narrow staircase and porch feel cramped with an obstructive railing, but cable infill and a thin black aluminum railing keep things open, while adding a touch of timeless elegance. As you can see by comparing the “before” image that shows lines depicting the project intentions with the “after” images, this customer got exactly what they were looking for!

This new build was designed with a modern organic approach, blending clean architectural lines with warm, natural materials to create a space that feels timeless, calm, and highly livable. The goal was to design a cohesive main floor that feels elevated yet approachable, with thoughtful attention to scale, proportion, and material layering. Soft neutral tones provide a quiet foundation, while warm wood finishes, subtle texture, and brass accents add depth and visual interest. Furniture selections were carefully curated to balance comfort and sophistication, ensuring the home feels welcoming without sacrificing design integrity. Lighting was intentionally layered to enhance both functionality and atmosphere throughout the space. The result is a refined, modern organic interior that feels collected, enduring, and tailored to everyday living — a home designed to age beautifully over time.

This stand-alone condominium takes a bold step with dark, modern farmhouse exterior features. Once again, the details of this stand alone condominium are where this custom design stands out; from custom trim to beautiful ceiling treatments and careful consideration for how the spaces interact. The exterior of the home is detailed with dark horizontal siding, vinyl board and batten, black windows, black asphalt shingles and accent metal roofing. Our design intent behind these stand-alone condominiums is to bring the maintenance free lifestyle with a space that feels like your own.

Tucked into the quiet suburbs of Edmonds, this three-story townhouse got a warm, minimal refresh for a young couple settling into their first home together. We focused on the living and small dining area, spaces they use daily, to create a grounded and cozy atmosphere that still feels modern and uncluttered. Rooted in both Japanese and Scandinavian influences, the design blends soft neutrals, warm oak tones, and bold black accents to create contrast without feeling stark. The slatted wood feature wall adds texture and a natural rhythm, while clean-lined furniture, tonal layering, and sculptural decor bring in depth and warmth. It is a space that feels calm and intentional, with the kind of understated comfort that invites you to slow down. Simple, earthy, and personal—designed for quiet evenings and everyday ease.

A sophisticated, calming space was the design intent for this master bedroom. The custom designed grey tufted floor to ceiling headboard is a focal point in the room and draws your eye upward toward the vaulted ceiling. The headboard is flanked with large candlestick light fixtures that not only provide light, but are more like dangling artist sculptures. Custom wall mounted nightstands are streamline and help the space feel free of clutter. A color palette of crisp whites, light greys with a touch of black tie together this soothing and tranquil retreat.

The primary bedroom was redesigned to feel calm, open, and directly connected to the landscape. Full-height glazing introduces consistent natural light while maintaining privacy through sheer drapery. Warm wood flooring and restrained detailing create a quiet backdrop, allowing the garden and filtered Bay light to define the atmosphere. The space reflects the broader intent of the remodel—clarity, simplicity, and alignment with site.

We staged this space with a plush, low profile sofa and organic wood accents to complement the room's airy volume without crowding the floor plan. The addition of a small dining bistro set and a tailored workspace demonstrates the casita’s versatility as both a luxury guest suite and a quiet home office. By layering soft textiles and greenery against the clean architectural lines, we’ve created a "home away from home" that feels intentional and sophisticated.

Our clients contacted us about purchasing a new home with the intention of renovating for it to suit their family’s needs. They wanted a house in a specific location and building new wasn’t an option. We worked with them to find a house suitable that we could make the perfect home for them. This project included completely redesigning the floor plan for an open concept and large addition over the garage to accommodate a master on-suite. The result was a home that fit the neighborhood perfectly and with 4 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms it can be their forever home. We were able to give them a new home feeling, while remaining under budget by using the existing structure as much as possible.

A beautiful, thoughtfully designed study nook where functionality meets timeless style. Custom floating shelves, a stunning statement wallpaper backdrop, and a soothing palette of soft blues come together to create a cozy, inviting space that feels like a warm embrace. Every detail was intentionally curated to create a study area that inspires creativity, encourages focus, and makes everyday moments a little more beautiful. Proof that even the smallest spaces can make a big design statement
