Convert a small space to a polished eye-catching and functional home office. We used white painted maple wood veneers and solid wood painted doors, moldings and trims to give the space a formal style. This home office boasts under cabinet LED lighting, doors with glass inserts, upper cabinets surrounded by wrap around shelving for books and accent pieces and sturdy maple wood drawers for storing office supplies or filing important documents.

The clean, uninterrupted sight lines of this bathroom lead the eye to the arched shower room opening, where on the right is the shower and to the left, a built-in whirlpool tub. The clerestory daylighting contributes masterfully to the ambient light while affording privacy, and unique touches like above-mount sinks, wall-mount fixtures, framed mirrors and teak mats provide the bathroom with plenty of personality.

This Jersey City, NJ space was the first permanent ‘home’ for the yoga studio, so it was essential for us to listen well and design a space to serve their needs for years to come. Through our design process, we helped to guide the owners through the fit-out of their new studio location that required minimal demolition and disruption to the existing space. Together, we converted a space originally used as a preschool into a welcoming, spacious yoga studio for local yogis. We created one main yoga studio by combining four small classrooms into a single larger space with new walls, while all the other program spaces (including designated areas for holistic treatments, massage, and bodywork) were accommodated into pre-existing rooms. Our team completed all demo, sheetrock, electrical, and painting aspects of the project. (The studio owners did some of the work themselves, and a different company installed the flooring and carpets.) The results speak for themselves: a peaceful, restorative space to facilitate health and healing for the studio’s community. Looking to renovate your place of business?

A New Modern House in San Francisco, California’s North Beach Neighborhood This house, designed with fellow Architect Jane F. Mah, was a seminal project in the transition of our firm’s aesthetic from Post Modernism toward Modernism. From a programmatic point of view, our challenge was to create a larger home from an existing 625 square foot carriage house located above a garage. Because the existing structure was legally built but did not conform to the City’s current planning code, the structure could not be enlarged. By inserting three floors within the original building envelope, we were able to create almost 2000 square feet of living area. The centerpiece of the interior is a curving pigmented steel and maple stair. Other features of note include custom cabinetry stained in two colors, built-in cantilever shelving, a custom desk and the two-story entry space. Fung Shui principles were incorporated at the owner’s request.
