This project, an extensive remodel and addition to an existing modern residence high above Silicon Valley, was inspired by dominant images and textures from the site: boulders, bark, and leaves. We created a two-story addition clad in traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban burnt wood siding that anchors home and site. Natural textures also prevail in the cosmetic remodeling of all the living spaces. The new volume adjacent to an expanded kitchen contains a family room and staircase to an upper guest suite. The original home was a joint venture between Min | Day as Design Architect and Burks Toma Architects as Architect of Record and was substantially completed in 1999. In 2005, Min | Day added the swimming pool and related outdoor spaces. Schwartz and Architecture (SaA) began work on the addition and substantial remodel of the interior in 2009, completed in 2015.

This podcast room was designed to feel creative, soft, and comfortable at the same time. We used gentle pastel pink walls to create a calm background that helps people relax and focus while recording. Warm wood floors and simple wooden furniture add balance so the room doesn’t feel too sweet or childish. We planned the space carefully to support real podcast work. There is a clear desk area for the computer and microphone, open shelves for books and decor, and a small seating corner for conversations or guest recordings. Soft lighting and hidden LED lines make the room feel warm on camera and remove harsh shadows, which is very important for video podcasts. Bright artwork and small colorful details give the room personality and creative energy without making it messy. Everything has a place, so the studio stays clean and functional. In the end, the space feels cozy, modern, and inspiring — perfect for recording, creating content, and spending long comfortable hours working.
