Plenty of parking, with both an attached, 3-car garage and a separate 2-car garage with additional carport.

The exterior features a mixture of stone, stucco, and reclaimed cedar siding. Posts are also reclaimed beams from an old saw mill. The garage door is painted to look aged and the front door has carvings on both sides. Both the gate and the railings are one of a kind designs.

Nestled in the hill country along Redbud Trail, this home sits on top of a ridge and is defined by its views. The drop-off in the sloping terrain is enhanced by a low-slung building form, creating its own drama through expressive angles in the living room and each bedroom as they turn to face the landscape. Deep overhangs follow the perimeter of the house to create shade and shelter along the outdoor spaces. Photography by Paul Bardagjy

San Francisco, CA - This modern style home was recently completed in Northern California. Beautiful clean lines run through the home's exterior with the beautiful wooden siding and large rectangular windows at the front. The custom-made garage doors were manufactured in a minimalistic design with flush panels and minimal lines. Finished in a dark bronze just like the window frames throughout the house pulled the entire home's curb appeal together into a majestic modern marvel. The modern garage doors were handmade out of eco-friendly composite materials that will prevent bowing or splitting in the future. As you drive up to the residence one of the focal points of the home's exterior elevation are the garage doors with all their simplicity and smooth texture. The look of modern luxury never looked better with Dynamic Garage Doors. Call our Design Center at: (855) 343-3667 for pricing on our custom garage doors.

First home, savvy art owners, decided to hire RBD to design their recently purchased two story, four bedroom, midcentury Diamond Heights home to merge their new parenthood and love for entertaining lifestyles. Hired two months prior to the arrival of their baby boy, RBD was successful in installing the nursery just in time. The home required little architectural spatial reconfiguration given the previous owner was an architect, allowing RBD to focus mainly on furniture, fixtures and accessories while updating only a few finishes. New paint grade paneling added a needed midcentury texture to the entry, while an existing site for sore eyes radiator, received a new walnut cover creating a built-in mid-century custom headboard for the guest room, perfect for large art and plant decoration. RBD successfully paired furniture and art selections to connect the existing material finishes by keeping fabrics neutral and complimentary to the existing finishes. The backyard, an SF rare oasis, showcases a hanging chair and custom outdoor floor cushions for easy lounging, while a stylish midcentury heated bench allows easy outdoor entertaining in the SF climate.

The bedroom suite on the first floor enjoys its own entrance, making it ideal for guests. The open concept kitchen features Calacatta marble countertops, Wolf appliances, wine storage, dual sinks and dishwashers and a walk-in butler’s pantry. The loggia is accessed via La Cantina bi-fold doors that fully open for year-round alfresco dining on the terrace, complete with an outdoor fireplace.
