The design of this remodel of a small two-level residence in Noe Valley reflects the owner's passion for Japanese architecture. Having decided to completely gut the interior partitions, we devised a better-arranged floor plan with traditional Japanese features, including a sunken floor pit for dining and a vocabulary of natural wood trim and casework. Vertical grain Douglas Fir takes the place of Hinoki wood traditionally used in Japan. Natural wood flooring, soft green granite and green glass backsplashes in the kitchen further develop the desired Zen aesthetic. A wall to wall window above the sunken bath/shower creates a connection to the outdoors. Privacy is provided through the use of switchable glass, which goes from opaque to clear with a flick of a switch. We used in-floor heating to eliminate the noise associated with forced-air systems.

Inspired by their years in Japan and California and their Scandinavian heritage, we updated this 1938 home with a earthy palette and clean lines. Rift-cut white oak cabinetry, white quartz counters and a soft green tile backsplash are balanced with details that reference the home's history. Classic light fixtures soften the modern elements. We created a new arched opening to the living room and removed the trim around other doorways to enlarge them and mimic original arched openings. Removing an entry closet and breakfast nook opened up the overall footprint and allowed for a functional work zone that includes great counter space on either side of the range, when they had none before.

黒いガルバリウム鋼板のシンプルな外観。 住宅が密集しており、隣家の窓が近い為、有効な開口部の開け方を考慮しました。 竣工写真には間に合いませんでしたが、アオダモの木をシンボルツリーとして植えました。
Modern exterior home idea in Osaka

Our client had taken a memorable trip to Japan a couple of years ago and wanted to bring some Japandi into her life here in MD!. She wanted a mid-century modern, zen, clean look for the whole home. While she wanted sleek and clean, she also is a family of 4 so the family room still needed to provide comfort and be welcoming. We kept the color tones neutral and lines simple but added plush pillows and an ottoman for movie night. This was truly a collaboration between RedBird and the client who had a very clear vision. We loved making it come true in her home. Contractor: https://cabidodesign.com/ Photography: Alison Sutich @asutich

We wanted the guest bedroom to be relaxing for our guests. Calming blue was used on the walls, white linen drapes, textured charcoal bedding with yellow accents. A little black to give a little depth to the room. The fan above the bed is from Japan and the yellow chair is a family vintage piece we wanted to incorporate. The side tables we made out of 2x6 planks and steel pipe for the tripod legs.

Since 2010, our studio has been designing interiors for investors, developers, and commercial property owners, focused on elevating market appeal, asset valuation, and competitive edge. Inspired by their global travels, the clients envisioned constructing four short-term luxury rental villas within their private estate in Greenville, South Carolina. The interiors were meant to capture a distinct regional flavor without relying on literal historicism, defining four directional concepts: Japan, Persia, the Nordic, and the Mediterranean. Each of these four interior projects was developed by our studio under strict structural constraints. As a foundation for the interior spaces, the clients provided a traditional South Carolina architectural template featuring multiple pitched roofs and a rigid, immutable floor plan that remained identical across all four villas planned for the site. While this approach ensured a cohesive exterior for the entire complex, it posed a significant challenge for the interior design of each villa..

Bonsai trees and a small Japanese-style roof garden further emphasise the oriental character of the apartment, while traditional woven carpets point to Ukrainian craft and culture. The rustic interior of the penthouse stands in deep contrast with the concrete landscape of the city. All the walls in the apartment are finished with clay, and oak beams in the living room give the space a typical appearance of Japanese homes whilst the vases of Cucuteni-Trypillian culture represent Ukraine.
