Acrylic on sheetrock, all walls and ceiling of bedroom and 1 wall of bath.
Inspired by the client’s favorite Beatrix Potter stories and illustrations, this mural features a sunrise sky spreading across the walls and ceiling, with a landscape background around all of the walls. The four poster Venetian bronze crib has a silk 3-D canopy fashioned after a hot air balloon with its trompe l’oeil top painted into the ceiling. The fabrics supplied inspiration for the colors of the mural, while the finish and design of the furniture helped determine the intensity of the design. While the Peter Rabbit tales are the inspiration for this mural, the characters have been enlarged, intensified and enhanced from the original softer and more sketch-like watercolor paintings in order to coordinate with the client’s tastes in decor. The mural also includes 3 of the family Pomeranians, as well as the characters Peter Rabbit, Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton Tail, and Mother Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck, Jeremy Fisher, Owl Brown, Squirrel Nutkin, Mrs. Tiggywinkle, Mr. Todd the fox, and mice from the Tailor of Gloucester.


GELTNER LOFT Private Residence New York, NY Construction: 2000 1000 sq. ft. In response to budgetary constraints, only half of the loft was renovated. Rather than attempting to seamlessly fuse new and old, this division establishes the territory of the renovation and produces a proscenium-like condition between the two sides of the apartment. This theatrical effect is intensified by the luminous plane of translucent material backed by fluorescent tubes which replaces the existing ceiling of exposed beams. Into this newly defined domestic stage a series of linked elements are inserted: a steel and maple stair, a kitchen, and a wall of cabinetry. Two treads of the new stair extend outward and wrap into one another to produce a cabinet and a continuos steel railing links all three levels of the apartment, providing both structure and a backsplash as it intersects with the stair cabinet.

Typical of many San Francisco Victorians, this home’s kitchen had evolved over the years out of an enclosed porch. The centerpiece of the new light-filled space is a custom island / drop-leaf table that converts from a casual family dining area to an ample area for the children’s art projects, or seating for twelve. Open shelving and a series of custom ledges for the family’s seasonal canning efforts intensify the casual, working feel to the kitchen, which is both modern, yet appropriate to the essence of the home.

When this suburban family decided to renovate their kitchen, they knew that they wanted a little more space. Advance Design worked together with the homeowner to design a kitchen that would work for a large family who loved to gather regularly and always ended up in the kitchen! So the project began with extending out an exterior wall to accommodate a larger island and more moving-around space between the island and the perimeter cabinetry.
Style was important to the cook, who began collecting accessories and photos of the look she loved for months prior to the project design. She was drawn to the brightness of whites and grays, and the design accentuated this color palette brilliantly with the incorporation of a warm shade of brown woods that originated from a dining room table that was a family favorite. Classic gray and white cabinetry from Dura Supreme hits the mark creating a perfect balance between bright and subdued. Hints of gray appear in the bead board detail peeking just behind glass doors, and in the application of the handsome floating wood shelves between cabinets. White subway tile is made extra interesting with the application of dark gray grout lines causing it to be a subtle but noticeable detail worthy of attention.
Suede quartz Silestone graces the countertops with a soft matte hint of color that contrasts nicely with the presence of white painted cabinetry finished smartly with the brightness of a milky white farm sink. Old melds nicely with new, as antique bronze accents are sprinkled throughout hardware and fixtures, and work together unassumingly with the sleekness of stainless steel appliances.
The grace and timelessness of this sparkling new kitchen maintains the charm and character of a space that has seen generations past. And now this family will enjoy this new space for many more generations to come in the future with the help of the team at Advance Design Studio.

After a tear-down/remodel we were left with a west facing sloped front yard without much privacy from the street, a blank palette as it were. Re purposed concrete was used to create an entrance way and a seating area. Colorful drought tolerant trees and plants were used strategically to screen out unwanted views, and to frame the beauty of the new landscape. This yard is an example of low water, low maintenance without looking like grandmas cactus garden.
